Exhibit 99-B.8.145 FIRST AMENDMENT TO |
SELLING AND SERVICES AGREEMENT |
AND |
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT |
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to the Selling and Services Agreement and Fund Participation |
Agreement (First Amendment) is made and entered into as of the _31st___ day of |
December, 2003, by and between ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ING |
Life"), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar"), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New |
York ("ReliaStar New York") (collectively, the "Insurer(s)"), ING Financial Advisers, LLC ("ING |
Financial") (together with Insurers referred to collectively as "ING"), and PIMCO Advisors |
Distributors LLC ("Distributor"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the |
meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement (defined below). |
WHEREAS, ING and the Distributor are parties to a Selling and Services Agreement and Fund |
Participation Agreement dated as of March 11, 2003 ("Agreement"); and |
WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend the Agreement to add an additional class |
of shares of the Funds to be made available as investment options under the |
Agreement; and |
WHEREAS, the parties now desire to revise the reimbursement terms as set forth |
herein. |
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the |
parties agree as follows: |
1. Class A shares shall be referred to as “Class A Shares” and Class R shares shall be |
referred to as “Class R Shares” and “shares” which previously meant Class A shares |
shall now mean Class A shares and Class R shares collectively. |
2. Section 4 of the Agreement entitled Servicing Fees is deleted and replaced with the following: |
Servicing Fees |
The provision of shareholder and administrative services to Contract owners or |
to the Plans shall be the responsibility of ING Financial, Insurers or the Nominee and |
shall not be the responsibility of Distributor. The Nominee, or Insurers on behalf of |
their Separate Accounts, will be recognized as the sole shareholders of the 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 to the applicable |
Insurer a servicing fee based on the annual rate of ____% (_____% quarterly) for Class |
A shares, and ____% (____% quarterly) for Class R shares on equity funds (the MMS |
Funds) and ____% (_____% quarterly) for Class A and Class R shares on the fixed | ||
income funds (the PIMS Funds) , in all cases, of the average net assets invested in the | ||
Funds through the Contracts or through Insurer’s arrangements with Plans in each | ||
calendar quarter. After the end of each quarter, the Insurer shall invoice the Distributor | ||
for the applicable portion of the Servicing Fees. Distributor will make such payments to | ||
Insurer within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter. If required by a | ||
Plan or by applicable law, Insurer 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 Insurer. | ||
3. | Section 5 of the Agreement entitled 12b 1 Fees is deleted and replaced with the following: | |
12b-1 Fees. | ||
(a) Class A Shares Only — | ||
To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Class A Shares, Distributor shall | ||
make quarterly payments to ING Financial based on the annual rate of ____% (_____% | ||
quarterly) of the average net assets invested in Class A shares of the Funds through the | ||
Contracts or through Insurer’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. | ||
(b) Class R Shares Only — | ||
To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Class R Shares, Distributor shall | ||
make quarterly payments to ING Financial based on the annual rate of ____% (____% | ||
quarterly) of the average net assets invested in Class R shares of the Funds through the | ||
Contracts or through Insurer’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. | ||
(c) Both Class A and Class R Shares | ||
Distributor will make such payments to ING Financial within thirty (30) days after the | ||
end of each calendar quarter. Upon request, 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. Payments pursuant to this Section shall only be made by Distributor after | ||
receipt thereof by Distributor from the applicable Trust pursuant to its 12b-1 Plan. | ||
3. | Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full | |
force and effect. | ||

original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Amendment. |
