“Funds”), ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ING Life”) and ING Financial | |
Advisers, LLC (“ING Financial”) (ING Life and ING Financial collectively referred to | |

agreement pursuant to which shares of the Funds may be offered to employee benefit | |

the inclusion of Class R3 shares of the Funds (“Shares”). | |

services relating to Shares shall be the same as the fee paid for such services on | |
Class P shares of the Funds under the Agreement. | |
3. | No fee shall be paid under the Agreement for Plans that select Class P Shares as a |
Plan option but have not done so prior to October 1, 2007, except to the extent | |
that: (i) the Plan selects Class P Shares as a plan option by March 31, 2008, and | |
(ii) the selection is based on a proposal or recommendation that can be shown to | |
have been presented to the Plan before October 1, 2007. | |
4. | In the event of any inconsistencies between the Agreement and this Amendment, |
the terms of this Amendment shall govern. | |
