AND
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 22^ndday of October, 2009 by and between
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ING Life”), ING Institutional Plan Services, LLC (“ING
Institutional”), ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“ING Financial”) (collectively, “ING”), and Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx Management LLC (“Distributor”), acting as agent for the registered open-end management
investment companies whose shares are or may be underwritten by Distributor (each a “Fund” or
collectively the “Funds”).

WHEREAS, the Parties or their predecessors entered into various administrative services, services
or related agreements relating to the Funds, including the certain agreements dated September 14, 1993,
May 25, 1994, May 12, 2005 and October 6, 2000, each as amended (collectively, the “Prior
Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to terminate the Prior Agreements and enter into a new agreement;
and

WHEREAS, Distributor acts as administrator and principal underwriter for the Funds; and

WHEREAS, ING Life, formerly known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, is an
insurance company that issues annuity contracts to, and/or provides various recordkeeping and other
administrative services to, certain plans under Sections 401, 403(b), 457 or 408 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”), certain nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, and
custodial accounts under Section 403(b)(7) or 408 of the Tax Code (collectively, “Plans”); and

WHEREAS, ING Institutional, formerly known as CitiStreet LLC, is a limited liability company
that provides various recordkeeping and other administrative services to certain Plans; and

WHEREAS, such Plans may invest in the Funds directly, or alternatively, certain of such Plans
may invest in the Funds indirectly through annuity contracts and funding agreements issued by ING Life
(the “Contracts”); and

WHEREAS, ING Life has established and may establish in the future separate accounts for all of
its annuity contracts and funding agreements (the “Separate Accounts”) to serve as an investment
vehicle for the Contracts; and

WHEREAS, ING Life will provide various administrative and shareholder services in connection
with the investment by the Plans in the Funds or in the Contracts, and ING Institutional will provide
various administrative and shareholder services in connection with the investment by the Plans in the
Funds; and

WHEREAS, ING Financial, formerly known as Aetna Investment Services, LLC, will distribute to
Plans shares of the Funds or units of the Separate Accounts that may in turn invest in the Funds;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Investment of Plan Assets.

(a) With respect to Plans that invest in the Funds directly, ING Financial represents that it is authorized under the Plans to implement the investment of Plan assets in the name of an appropriately designated nominee of each Plan (“Nominee”) in shares of investment companies or other investment vehicles specified by a sponsor, an investment adviser, an administrative committee, or other fiduciary as designated by a Plan (“Plan Representative”) upon the direction of a Plan participant or beneficiary (“Participant”). The parties acknowledge and agree that selections of particular investment companies or other investment vehicles are made by Plan Representatives or Participants, who may change their respective selections from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of the date of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the Nominee shall be ING National Trust, an ING affiliate.

(b) With respect to Plans that invest in the Funds indirectly through the Contracts, ING Life represents that each of the Separate Accounts is a separate account under Connecticut Insurance law and that it has registered or will register each of the Separate Accounts (except for such Accounts for which no such registration is required) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), to serve as an investment vehicle for the Contracts. Each Contract provides for the allocation of net amounts received by ING Life to a Separate Account for investment in the shares of one or more specified open-end management investment companies available through that Separate Account as underlying investment media. Selection of a particular investment management company and changes therein from time to time are made by the contract owner or Participant, as applicable under a particular Contract.

2.	Omnibus Account.

The parties agree that, with respect to each Fund, up to three omnibus accounts may be maintained
(the “Account” or collectively, the “Accounts”). For Plan assets directed for investment directly in the
Fund, one Account held in the name of the Nominee may be maintained in connection with Plans for
which ING Life shall provide various recordkeeping and other administrative services, and a second
Account held in the name of the Nominee may be maintained in connection with Plans for which ING
Institutional shall provide various recordkeeping and other administrative services. Alternatively, one
Account held in the name of the Nominee may be maintained in connection with Plans for which both
ING Life and ING Institutional shall provide such recordkeeping and administrative services. An
additional 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.	Services to be Performed by ING.

ING shall be responsible for performing shareholder account servicing functions, which shall
include without limitation:

(a)	making the funds available under the Contracts or other arrangements offered by ING;
(b)	assisting in processing customer purchase and redemption requests;

(c)	answering customer inquiries regarding account status and history;
(d)	assisting customers in designating and changing dividend options, account designations and addresses;
(e)	adopting and maintaining appropriate security measures for identifying customers;
(f)	providing periodic statements showing a customer’s account balances and, to the extent practicable, integration of such information with other customer transactions otherwise effected with or through the ING;
(g)	furnishing (either separately or on an integrated basis with other reports sent to a customer by ING) statements and confirmations of all purchases and redemption requests as may be required by agreement between ING and the customers;
(h)	processing customer purchase and redemption requests for shares and placing purchase and redemption instructions with the Funds’ transfer agent, including any designee thereof (“Transfer Agent”), in the manner described in Section 4 hereof;
(i)	providing subaccounting services and maintaining accurate subaccounting records regarding shares beneficially owned by customers;
(j)	updating customer records to reflect dividend payments;
(k)	transmitting proxy statements, annual and semi-annual reports, the Funds’ then current prospectuses (in each case, the “Prospectus”) and other communications from the Funds to customers as may be required by law and by agreement between ING and the customers; and
(l)	providing such other related services upon which the Distributor and ING may mutually agree.

ING shall provide all personnel, facilities and equipment reasonably necessary in order for it to perform
the functions described in this paragraph with respect to its Customers. ING shall exercise reasonable
care in performing all such services.

4. Pricing Information, Orders, Settlement.

(a) Distributor will make shares available to be purchased by the Nominee or by ING Life, as applicable, on behalf of the Accounts, at the net asset value applicable to each order; provided, however, that the Plans or the Separate Accounts meet the criteria for purchasing shares of the Funds at net asset value as described in the Funds’ prospectuses. ING acknowledges that certain Funds may offer multiple classes of shares and that certain classes are, or may become, closed to new investors. Fund shares shall be purchased and redeemed on a net basis for such Plans or such Separate Accounts in such quantity and at such time determined by ING or the Nominee to correspond with investment instructions received by ING from contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants, provided, however, that the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the “Trustees” ) may upon reasonable notice to ING, refuse to sell shares of any Funds to any person, or suspend, or terminate the offering of any shares of Funds if such

action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, acting in good faith and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund shares and is acting in compliance with their fiduciary obligations under federal and/or any applicable state laws.

(b) Distributor agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to ING Financial for each Fund: (i) confirmed net asset value information as of the close of trading (normally 4:00 p.m., East Coast time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“Close of Trading”) on each business day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business (“Business Day”) or at such other time as the net asset value of a Fund is calculated as disclosed in the relevant then current Prospectus(es) in a format that includes the Fund’s name and the change from the last calculated net asset value, (ii) dividend and capital gains information as it arises, and (iii) in the case of a fixed income fund, the daily accrual or the distribution rate factor. Distributor shall use its best efforts to provide or cause to be provided to ING Financial such information by 6:30 p.m., East Coast time, but in event later than 7:00 p.m., East Coast time, absent extraordinary circumstances. In the event of an anticipated delay past 7:00 p.m., Distributor shall notify ING Financial by 7:00 p.m. of the anticipated delay.

(c) ING Financial, as agent for the Funds solely for the purposes expressed herein, shall receive from Contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants for acceptance as of the Close of Trading on each Business Day orders for the purchase of shares of the Funds, exchange orders, and redemption requests and redemption directions with respect to shares of the Funds held by the Nominee or by ING Life on behalf of its Separate Accounts (“Instructions”). In addition, ING Financial shall (i) transmit to Distributor such Instructions no later than 9:00 a.m., East Coast time on the next following Business Day, and (ii) upon acceptance of any such Instructions by Distributor, communicate such acceptance to the Contract owners, Plan Representatives or Plan Participants, as appropriate (“Confirmation”). The Business Day on which such Instructions are received in proper form by ING Financial and time stamped by the Close of Trading will be the date as of which Fund shares shall be deemed purchased, exchanged, or redeemed as a result of such Instructions, provided that ING transmits such Instructions to Distributor in a timely manner (“Trade Date”). Instructions received in proper form by ING Financial and time stamped after the Close of Trading on any given Business Day shall be treated as if received on the next following Business Day. ING Financial agrees that all Instructions received by ING Financial, which will be transmitted to Distributor for processing as of a particular Business Day, will have been received and time stamped prior to the Close of Trading on that Business Day.

(d) ING Financial will wire payment, or arrange for payment to be wired, for purchase orders, in immediately available funds, to a Fund custodial account or accounts designated by Distributor, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m., East Coast time on the Business Day after the Trade Date.

(e) Distributor or its designees will wire payment, or arrange for payment to be wired, for redemption orders, in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by ING Financial, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. East Coast time on the Business Day after the Trade Date.

(f) In lieu of applicable provisions set forth in paragraphs 4(c) through 4(e) above, the parties may agree to execute orders and wire payments for purchases and redemptions through National Securities Clearing Corporation’s Fund/SERV System, in which case such activities will be governed by the provisions set forth in Exhibit I to this Agreement. In addition, the parties may also provide pricing information in accordance with Exhibit I.

(g) Upon Distributor’s request, ING shall provide copies of historical records relating to transactions between the Funds and the Contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants investing in such Funds, written communications regarding the Funds to or from such persons, and other materials, in each case, as may reasonably be requested to enable Distributor or any other designated entity, including without limitation, auditors, investment advisers, or transfer agents of the Funds to monitor and review the services being provided under this Agreement, or to comply with any request of a governmental body or self-regulatory organization or a shareholder. ING also agrees that ING will permit Distributor or the Funds, or any duly designated representative, to have reasonable access to ING’s personnel and records in order to facilitate the monitoring of the quality of the services being provided under this Agreement.

(h) ING Financial shall assume responsibility as herein described for any loss to Distributor or to a Fund caused by a cancellation or correction made to an Instruction by a Contract owner, Plan Representative or Participant subsequent to the date as of which such Instruction has been received by ING Financial and originally relayed to Distributor, and ING Financial will immediately pay such loss to Distributor or such Fund upon ING Financial’s receipt of written notification, with supporting data.

(i) Distributor shall indemnify and hold ING harmless, from the effective date of this Agreement, against any amount ING is required to pay to Contract owners, Plans, Plan Representatives or Participants due to: (i) an incorrect calculation of a Fund’s daily net asset value, dividend rate, or capital gains distribution rate or (ii) incorrect or late reporting of the daily net asset value, dividend rate, or capital gain distribution rate of a Fund, upon written notification by ING, with supporting data, to Distributor. In addition, the Fund or the Distributor shall be liable to ING for reasonable systems and out of pocket costs incurred by ING in making a Contract owner’s, a Plan’s or a Participant’s account whole, if such costs or expenses are a result of the Fund’s failure to provide timely or correct net asset values, dividend and capital gains or financial information. If a mistake is caused in supplying such information or confirmations, which results in a reconciliation with incorrect information, the amount required to make a Contract owner’s or a Plan’s or a Participant’s account whole shall be borne by the party providing the incorrect information, regardless of when the error is corrected.

(j) Each party shall notify the other of any errors or omissions in any information, including a net asset value and distribution information set forth above, and interruptions in or delay or unavailability of, the means of transmittal of any such information as promptly as possible. ING Financial and Distributor agree to maintain reasonable errors and omissions insurance coverage commensurate with each party’s respective responsibilities under this Agreement.

5.	Servicing Fees.

The provision of shareholder and administrative services to Contract owners, to the Plans or to
Participants shall be the responsibility of ING Financial, ING Life, ING Institutional or the Nominee
and shall not be the responsibility of Distributor. 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 to the Distributor and Funds 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 to ING Life or ING Institutional, as appropriate, a servicing fee, as specified in
Schedule A (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. Distributor
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 Distributor to offset other fees
payable by the Plan to ING Life or ING Institutional.

6. 12b-1 Fees.

To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Fund Shares or administrative services related
to Fund Shares, Distributor shall make quarterly payments to ING Financial, as specified in Schedule A
(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 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 Distributor to offset other fees payable by the Plan to ING Financial.

7. Expenses.

Distributor shall make available for reimbursement certain out-of-pocket expenses ING Life or
ING Institutional incurs in connection with providing shareholder services to Contract owners or the
Plans. These expenses include actual postage paid by ING Life or ING Institutional in connection with
mailing updated prospectuses, supplements and financial reports to contract owners or Plan
representatives or Participants for which ING Life or ING Institutional provides shareholder services
hereunder, and all costs incurred by ING Life or ING Institutional associated with proxies for the Fund,
including proxy preparation, group authorization letters, programming for tabulation and necessary
materials (including postage). Except as otherwise agreed in writing, ING shall bear all other expenses
incidental to the performance of the services described herein. Distributor shall, however, provide ING,
or at ING’s request, the Plan, with such sufficient copies of relevant Prospectuses for all Participants
making an initial Fund purchase as well as relevant Prospectuses, Prospectus supplements and periodic
reports to shareholders, and other material as shall be reasonably requested by ING to disseminate to
Plan Participants who purchase shares of the Funds.

8. Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate as to the maintenance of the Account:

(a) At the option of either ING Life, ING Institutional, ING Financial or Distributor upon six (6)
months advance written notice to the other parties;

(b) At the option of ING Life, ING Institutional or ING Financial, if shares of the Funds are not
available for any reason to meet the investment requirements of the Contracts or the Plans; provided,

however, that prompt advance notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by the terminating entity;

(c) At the option of either ING Financial or Distributor, upon institution of formal disciplinary or investigative proceedings against ING Financial, Distributor or the Funds by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or any other regulatory body;

(d) At the option of Distributor, if Distributor shall reasonably determine in good faith that shares of the Funds are not being offered in conformity with the terms of this Agreement;

(e) At the option of ING, upon termination of the management agreement between the Fund and its investment adviser; written notice of such termination shall be promptly furnished to ING;

(f) Upon the determination of ING Life to substitute for the Fund’s shares the shares of another investment company in accordance with the terms of the applicable Contracts. ING Life will give 60 days’ written notice to the Fund and the Distributor of any decision to replace the Fund’s shares;

(g) Upon assignment of this Agreement by any party, unless made with the written consent of all other parties hereto; provided, however, that ING Financial, ING Life and ING Institutional may assign, without consent of Distributor, their respective rights, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to any of their affiliates, and provided, further, that ING Financial may enter into subcontracts with other dealers (“Dealer”) for the solicitation of sales of shares of the Funds without the consent of Distributor (in any such case, ING shall remain as fully liable to Distributor for the acts or non-acts of any Dealer as ING would be for its own acts or non-acts), or

(h) If the Fund’s shares are not registered, issued or sold in conformance with federal law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as an investment vehicle for the Contracts or the Plans; provided, however, that prompt notice shall be given by any party should such situation occur.

9.	Continuation of Agreement.

Termination as the result of any cause listed in Section 8 hereof shall not affect the Funds’
respective obligations to continue to maintain the Account as an investment option for Contracts then in
force for which its shares serve or may serve as the underlying medium, or for Plans electing to invest in
the Funds prior to the termination of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, servicing fee will
continue to be payable under the terms in Section 5 after the termination, for as long as fund assets are
held through the Contracts or through ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s arrangement with Plans.

10. Advertising and Related Materials.

(a) Advertising and literature with respect to the Funds prepared by ING Financial or the Nominee or its agents for use in marketing shares of the Funds to Contract owners or Plans (except any material that simply lists the Funds’ names) shall be submitted to Distributor for review and approval before such material is used with the general public or any Contract owner, Plan, Plan Representative, or Participant. Distributor shall advise the submitting party in writing within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such materials of its approval or disapproval of such materials.

(b) Distributor will provide to ING at least one complete copy of all Prospectuses, statements of additional information, annual and semiannual reports and proxy statements, other related documents, and all amendments or supplements to any of the above documents that relate to the Funds promptly after the filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Distributor will also provide to ING an electronic copy of all Prospectuses, statements of additional information, annual and semiannual reports, and all amendments or supplements suitable for posting on ING’s websites at ING’s discretion.

(c) Distributor will provide via Excel spreadsheet diskette format or in electronic transmission to ING at least quarterly portfolio information necessary to update Fund profiles within seven business days following the end of each quarter.

11. Proxy Voting.

ING or the Nominee will distribute to Contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants all proxy materials furnished by Distributor or its designees for the Funds. ING and the Nominee shall not oppose or interfere with the solicitation of proxies for Fund shares held for such beneficial owners.

12. Indemnification.

(a) ING agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Funds, Distributor and each of their directors, Trustees, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Funds or their investment adviser within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Funds, Distributor or any such director, Trustee, officer, employee, agent, or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of, or are based upon, the provision of administrative services by ING Life or ING Institutional under this Agreement, (ii) arise out of, or are based upon, a breach of a material provision of this Agreement, (iii) arise out of, or are based upon, the actions or non-actions of a Dealer; or (iv) arise out of, or are based upon, a claim that a Fund or share class of a Fund is not suitable for a Plan, Participant, Contract holder or other beneficial owner of an Account. ING will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Distributor or any such director, Trustee, officer, employee, agent, or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that ING will not be liable for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon the negligence or willful misconduct of Distributor or any such director, Trustee, officer, employee, agent or any controlling person herein defined in performing their obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of ING Financial, ING Life and ING Institutional, the Nominee and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls ING Financial, ING Life, ING Institutional and the Nominee within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which ING Financial, ING Life, ING Institutional, the Nominee, or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, Prospectus or sales literature of the Funds or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact that is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) arise out of, or are based upon, a breach of a material provision of this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 12. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to, assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 12 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Procedures for Pricing and Order/Settlement Through National Securities Clearing Corporation’s Mutual
Fund Profile System and Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Registration Verification System

1. As provided in Section 4 of the Selling and Services Agreement and Fund Participation Agreement,
the parties hereby agree to provide pricing information, execute orders and wire payments for purchases
and redemptions of Fund shares through National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) and its
subsidiary systems as follows:

(a) Distributor or the Funds will furnish to ING Financial or its affiliate through NSCC’s Mutual Fund

Profile System (“MFPS”) as well as via fax directly to ING at 000-000-0000 (1) the most current net

asset value information for each Fund, (2) a schedule of anticipated dividend and distribution

payment dates for each Fund, which is subject to change without prior notice, ordinary income and

capital gain dividend rates on the Fund’s ex-date, and (3) in the case of fixed income funds that

declare daily dividends, the daily accrual or the interest rate factor. All such information shall be

furnished to ING Financial or its affiliate by 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day that the

Fund is open for business (each a “Business Day”). Changes in pricing information will be

communicated to both NSCC and ING Financial or its affiliate.

(b) Upon receipt of Fund purchase, exchange and redemption instructions for acceptance as of the time

at which a Fund’s net asset value is calculated as specified in such Fund’s prospectus (“Close of

Trading”) on each Business Day (“Instructions”), and upon its determination that there are good

funds with respect to Instructions involving the purchase of Shares, ING Financial or its affiliate will

calculate the net purchase or redemption order for each Fund. Orders for net purchases or net

redemptions derived from Instructions received by ING Financial or its affiliate prior to the Close of

Trading on any given Business Day will be sent to the Defined Contribution Interface of NSCC’s

Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Registration Verification System (“Fund/SERV”) by 5:00 a.m.

Eastern Time on the next Business Day. Subject to ING Financial’s or its affiliate’s compliance

with the foregoing, ING Financial or its affiliate will be considered the agent of the Distributor and

the Funds, and the Business Day on which Instructions are received by ING Financial or its affiliate

in proper form prior to the Close of Trading will be the date as of which shares of the Funds are

deemed purchased, exchanged or redeemed pursuant to such Instructions. Instructions received in

proper form by ING Financial or its affiliate after the Close of Trading on any given Business Day

will be treated as if received on the next following Business Day. Dividends and capital gains

distributions will be automatically reinvested at net asset value in accordance with the Fund’s then

current prospectuses.

Number, in immediately available funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated by ING

Financial or its affiliate no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same Business Day such

purchase orders are communicated to NSCC. For purchases of shares of daily dividend accrual

funds, those shares will not begin to accrue dividends until the day the payment for those shares is

received.

(d) NSCC will wire payment for net redemption orders by Fund, in immediately available funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated by ING Financial or its affiliate, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day such redemption orders are communicated to NSCC, except as provided in a Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

(e) With respect to (c) or (d) above, if Distributor does not send a confirmation of ING Financial’s or its affiliate’s purchase or redemption order to NSCC by the applicable deadline to be included in that Business Day’s payment cycle, payment for such purchases or redemptions will be made the following Business Day.

(f) If on any day ING Financial or its affiliate or Distributor is unable to meet the NSCC deadline for the transmission of purchase or redemption orders, it may at its option transmit such orders and make such payments for purchases and redemptions directly to Distributor or to ING Financial or its affiliate, as applicable, as is otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement.

(g) These procedures are subject to any additional terms in each Fund’s prospectus and the requirements of applicable law. The Funds reserve the right, at their discretion and without notice, to suspend the sale of shares or withdraw the sale of shares of any Fund.

2. ING Financial or its affiliate, Distributor and clearing agents (if applicable) are each required to have entered into membership agreements with NSCC and met all requirements to participate in the MFPS and Fund/SERV systems before these procedures may be utilized. Each party will be bound by the terms of their membership agreement with NSCC and will perform any and all duties, functions, procedures and responsibilities assigned to it and as otherwise established by NSCC applicable to the MFPS and Fund/SERV system and the Networking Matrix Level utilized.

3. Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning as in this Exhibit.

EXHIBIT II

ING Excessive Trading Policy (the “Policy”) as of October 16, 2007

The ING family of companies (“ING”), as providers of multi-fund variable insurance and retirement
products, has adopted this Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund
families which make their funds available through our variable insurance and retirement products to
restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Section 22c-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. ING’s current definition of Excessive Trading and our policy with
respect to such trading activity is outlined below.

1. ING actively monitors fund transfer and reallocation activity within its variable insurance and
retirement products to identify Excessive Trading.

ING currently defines Excessive Trading as:
a. More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a
60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a
“round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60
calendar day period would meet ING’s definition of Excessive Trading; or
b. Six round-trips within a twelve month period.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:
a. Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase
payments, withdrawals and loans);
b. Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or
scheduled asset allocation programs;
c. Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
d. Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares,
and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
e. Transactions initiated by a member of the ING family of insurance companies.

2. If ING determines that an individual has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-
trip involving the same fund, ING will send them a letter warning that another sale of that same fund
within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and
result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the
Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit (VRU), telephone calls to the ING Customer Service
Center, or other electronic trading medium that ING may make available from time to time
(“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if ING determines that an individual has made five
round-trips within a twelve month period, ING will send them a letter warning that another purchase
and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip in the
prior twelve month period will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month
suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business
units, a copy of the warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity
authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment
adviser for that individual. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s trading
activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity.

3. If ING determines that an individual has used one or more of its products to engage in
Excessive Trading, ING will send a second letter to the individual. This letter will
state that the individual’s Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a
period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those
which involve the fund whose shares were involved in the Excessive Trading activity,
will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to ING via regular U.S.
mail. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges
will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future
transfer and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s
trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the
Excessive Trading activity.

4. Following the six month suspension period during which no additional Excessive
Trading is identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. ING will
continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future
Excessive Trading will result in an indefinite suspension of the Electronic Trading
Privileges. Excessive Trading activity during the six month suspension period will
also result in an indefinite suspension of the Electronic Trading Privileges.

5. ING reserves the right to limit fund trading or reallocation privileges with respect to
any individual, with or without prior notice, if ING determines that the individual’s
trading activity is disruptive, regardless of whether the individual’s trading activity
falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above. Also, ING’s failure
to send or an individual’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice
contemplated under this Policy will not prevent ING from suspending that
individual’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in
this Policy.

6. Each fund available through ING’s variable insurance and retirement products, either
by prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent
trading policy. ING reserves the right, without prior notice, to implement restrictions
and/or block future purchases of a fund by an individual who the fund has identified
as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy. All such restrictions and/or
blocking of future fund purchases will be done in accordance with the directions ING
receives from the fund.
