PROGRAM SERVICES AGREEMENT Between ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and ABA Retirement Funds Purchase Order No.4
Exhibit 10.6.3
Between
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company
and
ABA Retirement Funds
Purchase Order No.4
This is Purchase Order No.4 to the Program Services Agreement between ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and ABA Retirement Funds (“ABA RF”) effective May 1, 2009 (the “Agreement”).
I. | Describe the Current Service Being Changed (If unrelated to any existing service, do not complete): |
This Purchase Order specifically addresses the creation of an Equity Wash restriction on funds from the Stable Value Return Fund (SARF) to the Self-Managed Brokerage Account (SMBA).
II. | Describe the Reason for Making the Change: |
The new SARF investment manager was unable to negotiate with the wrap providers to exclude an equity wash requirement. Due to the current economic environment and potential market exposure pressure it is common industry practice currently for wrap providers to require this type of restriction on funds that they believe compete with the SARF. In the Program’s case, this is the money market component available in the SMBA.
III. | The Proposed Change: |
A. | Develop a front-end (VRU and Web) and back-end (Recordkeeping System) equity wash. The restriction will prohibit direct transfers of assets from SARF to the SMBA. Any amounts transferred from SARF to other Program investment options will not be transferrable to the SMBA for 90 days. |
B. | Anticipated areas of development are IPS recordkeeping system, Voice Response Unit, Pweb (participant website) and all effected reports provided to participants. This includes updating over 4,000 Plan Profiles to reflect the new functionality. |
Project Details:
• | Attendance and preparation for project meetings (external) sessions from January 2011 through May 2011 for IPS |
Implementation Services and IT project personnel not otherwise part of the ABA RF Program Services Unit required by the Agreement (see Section VII for additional staffing details). Meetings consist of reviewing ING Best Practices, tracking requirements and Action Items Log. |
• | Development of business and functional design documents that highlight any areas requiring development based upon the findings from the project meeting sessions. |
IV. | Why the Change is Outside the Scope of the Current Agreement (or the Statement of Work): |
1. | The ABA RF Program maintains over 4,000 plans on the recordkeeping system therefore custom propagation of data elements must be built to accommodate each plan within the Program. |
2. | The existing ING Equity Wash functionality was built based on three restriction conditions. ABA RF has negotiated a less restrictive arrangement and therefore is requesting only two conditions be built for the Program’s equity wash restriction. In order to utilize only two conditions, custom functionality is required to remove the logic for the third condition. |
3. | The Program utilizes a series of custom plan level, participant level and investment record data elements that need to be updated to utilize equity wash functionality. |
Fee Schedule Changes (Including implementation costs and hourly rates, if applicable):
One-time Project Costs Not to Exceed |
$ | 41,000 |
VI. | Implementation Plan and Timetable: |
Implementation of the Equity Wash restriction on or about May 1, 2011.
VII. | Staffing For the Implementation and Ongoing Services: |
There will be no additions to ongoing staffing levels. The project will be staffed with appropriate Implementation Services (project) Team personnel and IT personnel necessary to complete the changes outlined in Section ill.
Please see Attachment A which summarizes the project resources broken out by job type with total estimated project hours for each role. The resources are separated by project resources, for which the fee applies, and dedicated Program Services Unit resources, for which there is no additional cost.

VIII. | ABA RF Oversight: |
ABA Retirement Funds Staff will be invited to participate in regularly scheduled project meetings to monitor the progress of the project. At the completion of the project an accounting of the total hours spent will be provided.
VIII. | Miscellaneous: |
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged. All terms and conditions of this Purchase Order constitute an integral part of the Agreement following execution of the Purchase Order and are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
