ING TARGET-DATE SOLUTION PORTFOLIOSSM Asset AllocationDecisions Made Easier

ING’s Target-Date SolutionPortfolios are designed tohelp employers:

• Give employees an easierway to invest for retirement

• Increase plan participationthrough streamlineddecision-making processes

• Potentially reduceemployee investment riskthrough a fund-of-fundsapproach

• Satisfy Qualified DefaultInvestment Alternativerequirement (QDIA)

How the Portfolios WorkMulti-manager Approach

The ING Target-Date SolutionPortfoliosSM represent a “Fund ofFunds” strategy. Rather than investingin individual securities (such astraditional balanced or asset allocationfunds), these portfolios invest in anunderlying portfolio of investmentoptions available in ING’s productlineup.

This Fund of Funds strategy alsoleverages ING’s sub-advised fundplatform, meaning many underlyingfunds are managed by well-knownoutside fund managers that include:• Artio Global Investors• Baron Funds• BlackRock• Columbia Wanger AssetManagement

• Davis Funds• Franklin Templeton Investments• Goldman Sachs Asset Management• J.P. Morgan• Marisico Funds• PIMCO• Pioneer Investments• Thornburg Investment Management• T. Rowe Price

The ING Target-Date SolutionPortfolios utilize an actively managedset of funds, and the ING Target-DateIndex Solution Portfolios utilize apassively managed set of funds.

ING’s investment professionals havedetermined the allocation targets foreach portfolio based on a host of bothqualitative and quantitative analysis,including current and future marketvolatility and conditions, as well asforward looking inputs. The Portfoliosare rebalanced at least quarterly and,over time, each Portfolio migrates to amore conservative investment mix –so participants won’t have torebalance for themselves asinvestment goals near.

Diversification on Two Levels:

� Within each ING SolutionPortfolio, and

� Within the underlying funds

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: There is no guarantee that any investment option will achieve its stated objective. Principal value fluctuatesand there is no guarantee of value at any time, including the target date. The "target date" is the approximate date when you plan to startwithdrawing your money.When your target date is reached, you may have more or less than the original amount invested. For each target datePortfolio, until the day prior to its Target Date, the Portfolio will seek to provide total returns consistent with an asset allocation targeted for aninvestor who is retiring in approximately each Portfolio's designation Target Year. The Target Year is specified in the Portfolio's name. Forexample, the ING Solutions 2045 Portfolio bears an asset allocation that the investment adviser believes balances the risk and return objectivesof the "average" investor who will be retiring in the year 2045.With the exception of ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio, ING SolutionGrowth Portfolio, ING Solution Income Portfolio and ING Index Solution Income Portfolio, each Portfolio is structured and managed around aspecific target retirement or financial goal date (”Target Date”) as follows: 2055, 2045, 2035, 2025 and 2015. The ING Solution Growth andIncome Portfolio, ING Solution Growth Portfolio, ING Solution Income Portfolio and ING Index Solution Income Portfolio are for those who areretired, nearing retirement or in need of drawing down income from their Portfolio soon. Prior to choosing a Target Date Portfolio, investors arestrongly encouraged to review and understand the Portfolio's objectives and its composition of stocks and bonds, and how the asset allocationwill change over time as the target date nears. No two investors are alike and one should not assume that just because they intend to retire inthe year corresponding to the Target Date that that specific Portfolio is appropriate and suitable to their risk tolerance. It is recommended thatan investor consider carefully the possibility of capital loss in each of the target date Portfolios, the likelihood and magnitude of which will bedependent upon the Portfolio's asset allocation.On the Target Date, the Portfolio's investment objective will be to seek to provide a combination of total return and stability of principalconsistent with a low to moderate risk asset allocation which is targeted to the "average" retiree.Stocks are more volatile than bonds, and portfolios with a higher concentration of stocks are more likely to experience greater fluctuations invalue than portfolios with a higher concentration in bonds. Foreign stocks and small and midcap stocks may be more volatile than large capstocks. Investing in bonds also entails credit risk and interest rate risk. Generally investors with longer timeframes can consider assuming morerisk in their investment portfolio. The ING Solution PortfoliosSM are actively managed and the asset allocation adjusted over time. The portfoliosmay merge with or change to other portfolios over time. Refer to the prospectus for more information about the specific risks of investing in thevarious assets classes included in the ING Solution Portfolios.

IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by Morningstar® Retirement ManagerSM regarding thelikelihood of various retirement income and/or investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual results(including investment results) and are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time.Annual Retirement Income Outlook considers such things as your asset mix and Morningstar Associates’ own forecasts for return, risks andcorrelation for various asset classes. The Expected Retirement Income noted within the tool is the amount the simulation has determined ashaving a 90% probability of being achieved. Annual Retirement Income Goal is calculated by taking 70% of your projected salary atretirement, expressed in today's dollars. Your projected salary at retirement is determined by a proprietary salary growth curve and yourprojected social security benefits. Morningstar Associates' salary growth curve assumes your salary will grow at rates that vary with your age.Projected social security benefit is based off of an algorithm supplied by the Social Security Administration. Proposed Asset Mix is derived fromvarious factors such as your years to retirement, your projected salary growth and results from an asset liability analysis. The asset-liabilityanalysis is an economic concept that is helpful in understanding your ability to withstand financial losses by incorporating a projected futurestream of income into your current financial situation.

COMPREHENSIVE FIDUCIARY SOLUTIONS

Your responsibilities as a fiduciary

ERISA provides standards of conduct for fiduciaries. Specifically,

section 404(a) created the following rules to govern the conduct

of fiduciaries:

1. Duty of Loyalty – A fiduciary must discharge his duties solely inthe interest of plan participants and beneficiaries.

2. Exclusive Purpose Rule – A fiduciary shall discharge his duties forthe exclusive purpose of:

• Providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries;

• Defraying reasonable expenses of administering the plan.

3. Prudent Man Rule – Requires that a fiduciary perform his/her

duties in a manner of a prudent person with the care, skill,

prudence and diligence of a person acting in a like capacity and

knowledgeable about such duties.

4. Diversify Plan Assets – A fiduciary must ensure that assets aresufficiently diversified so as to minimize the risk of large losses,

unless it is clearly prudent not to do so.

5. Act in accordance with plan documents – ERISA requiresfiduciaries to operate the plan in accordance with the terms of

the written plan document and other instruments that

govern the plan.

ING does not assume any fiduciary responsibility for your plan. You should consult with yourattorney prior to making any decision.

Be Confident in YourFiduciary Role

ING believes fiduciaries should havethe help they need to be confident intheir fiduciary role. With our FiduciaryToolkit, gaining that confidence justgot easier.

ING Fiduciary Toolkit

ING can help you understand andmanage your fiduciary responsibilities.The toolkit is comprised of many toolsto assist you in selecting andmonitoring your investment options.

1. The Fiduciary Investment Guideprovides you a framework forcarrying out the fiduciaryresponsibilities associated withselecting and monitoringinvestments in their plan. Theguide helps by simplifying thesteps fiduciaries need toconsider when sponsoring aretirement plan, including:• Establishment of written policies• Selection and ongoing evaluationof investment options

• Diversification of investmentoptions

2. A sample Investment PolicyStatement (IPS) provides aframework for you to work withyour legal counsel to craft an IPSthat is tailored to their plan. TheIPS defines how the investmentoptions and investment managersare selected, monitored, andevaluated. It also describes howthe investment objectives arerelated to investment decisions.

Plan and Trust Name: _______________ (“Plan”). This Investment Policy Statement is adopted for the Plan by_______________ (Plan Fiduciary). The Plan provides for individual accounts and permits participants (orbeneficiaries) to exercise investment control over the assets in their accounts.

The Plan’s overall investment objective is to provide Plan participants (or beneficiaries) with a sufficient variety ofinvestment options to enable participants to achieve their individual investment goals for retirement. To accomplishthis, the Plan may enter into group annuity contracts or agreements with financial services providers that offer a widevariety of investment options and benefit distribution facilities. The investment options should represent multipleasset classes covering equity (stock), fixed income (bond), money market or stable value, and balancedoptions/Lifestyle/Lifecycle. These investments will have the following general characteristics:

• Different risk/return characteristics;• Different investment objectives and styles;• Annualized returns over three-, five- and ten-year periods that have met or exceeded the competitive averagesor established industry benchmarks; and

• Reasonable operating expenses and/or minimum guaranteed rates of return, as applicable, that are disclosedto participants.

Standards for Investment Option SelectionThe selection of particular investment options will be based on the standards listed below. It is the intent to haveinvestment options that represent a diversified mix of asset classes and styles, comprising approximately _______choices. Included in the selections: active and passive/index-like options, equity options across capitalization ranges(small, mid and large capitalization) and style categories (growth, blend and value) as well as international equityexposure (foreign or global), fixed income and Lifecycle or Lifestyle options.

Income option selection will generally focus on credit quality (investment grade, high yield) and maturity period(short, intermediate, long term). Stable value option selection will generally focus on credited rate structures, the ade-quacy of any minimum guarantees, and the claims paying abilities of the underlying insurer(s). Index fund selectionwill focus on the reasonableness of fund expense ratios and correlation to the index benchmark.

For investment options other than index funds, stable value funds and income funds, the Plan fiduciary will establisha reasonable universe of diversified investment funds with similar investment styles for each targeted asset class andthen make selections from that universe based on the following standards:

1. Operating Expenses: the expense ratio of the funds will be evaluated for reasonableness with a preference forlower cost funds except where additional cost can be justified by other factors.

2. Risk-adjusted returns: as measured by Sharpe Ratio: historical investment performance relative to risk and acomparison of risk/return tradeoff versus peers.

3. Performance: the investment performance of the fund as reflected by total trailing annualized returns, rollingwindow performance and Alpha, a measure of value added by a manager.

To Support Investment Option Selection and MonitoringUnder the ING Life Insurance and Annuity CompanyRetirement Platform

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ING”) has engaged Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”)to evaluate ING’s Fund Evaluation Scorecard fiduciary assistance tool (the “Scorecard”).

Wilshire Certification

Wilshire® has conducted a comprehensive, independent review of the ING Fund Evaluation Scorecard. Based on thatreview, Wilshire certifies the Scorecard as an appropriate and sound fiduciary assistance tool and reflects ananalytical evaluation process that is fair, sound, prudent and consistent with industry norms.

The Scorecard facilitates the fund selection and monitoring process by (1) analyzing the characteristics of the fundsinvestment options provided on the ING Platform; (2) comparing funds within available asset classes; and (3) ratingeach fund on a scale of one through 10, with 10 being the highest possible score. The Scorecard uses a purelyobjective process. A set of standardized criteria is applied to all investment options on the platform with at leasta three-year track record available. Its analysis covers five broad perspectives:• performance,• risk,• risk-adjusted performance,• consistency of style, and• expenses.

Within each category, the Scorecard process evaluates the fund against the external universe of similarly managedfunds of like class structures (or peer group). All funds are evaluated using historical data going back to fundinception or 10 years, whichever period is longer.

Important Disclosures

1. ING pays an annual service fee to Wilshire to compensate Wilshire for its services. ING also indemnifies Wilshire for any claims against Wilshire arisingout of this Certificate, subject to standard commercial exceptions for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Enrollment

Employees can quickly and easily enrollin the plan by logging onto ING’s onlineEnrollment Center. Intuitive navigationand simple prompts guide usersthrough the steps of enrollment withclarity and ease. A confirmation ofenrollment will be mailed directly to theemployee’s home.

For those employees without access tothe Internet, enrollment by form orphone is also available.

Automatic Enrollment andDeferral Increase

To eliminate employees’ feelings ofconfusion and being overwhelmedabout enrolling in the plan, you canchoose to “automatically enroll” newlyeligible (and in some cases, current butnot participating) employees into their401(k) plan. Employees no longer needto actively choose to participate, how toinvest, where to invest or fill out forms.

Auto-enrollment addresses employees’tendency to procrastinate by makingNOT participating the active choice.

Options for how sponsors can directcontributions include:• Contributions can be directed toan asset allocation fund

• Any combination of funds within theplan, in any percentage you choose,can also be chosen for an automaticenrollment investment

• Any single fund within the plan canbe selected

The employee-initiated contributionrate escalator feature can helpparticipants continue to grow theirretirement savings by automaticallyincreasing contributions each year.When a participant elects this feature,contributions will increase by adetermined percentage annually untilreaching a percentage limit. Once thatlimit is reached, the participant isresponsible for increasingcontributions further.

Automated Eligibility Monitoring*

ING also monitors the status of youremployees and automatically notifiesnewly eligible employees of theiropportunity to enroll in the plan. Thisfully-automated plan feature helps toboost plan participation on anongoing basis.

Important Information about Your Company’s Retirement Plan

“Your Company Name” (your “Employer” or “we”) recently selected ING Life Insurance and

Annuity Company as the new investment and service provider for the “Plan Name” (the

“Plan”). All record keeping services will be transferred to ING and all amounts in the

investment vehicles currently available under the Plan will be transferred to new investment

options offered through ING, beginning effective “date”. A conversion period will make this a

successful and seamless transfer, and ensure the accurate and complete transfer of your account

and Plan records from our current service provider.

During the conversion period we must undertake several steps to transfer services and plan

assets to ING. Our current provider must finalize our records by completing all transactions

currently in process, balance the Plan and forward the records to ING. Then, ING must update

its record keeping system for our Plan provisions, the enrollment record for each participant,

and the transaction records supplied by our current service provider. In addition, ING must

receive and allocate our plan assets to the new investment options (as we direct) and balance

the records to the assets it receives for our Plan.

This conversion process will begin the week of Sunday,00/00/0000, and end the week

beginning Sunday, 00/00/0000 (timeframe provided should be approximately four to six

weeks). During the conversion period your deferred contributions will continue to be deducted

from your paycheck and invested according to your direction. However, to establish accurate

records and fund balances with ING, during this period no other individual account

transactions can be processed either through our current provider or through ING. This is

referred to as a “blackout period”. Specifically during the blackout period, you will not be

permitted to:

• Request a distribution of Plan assets;

• Request a loan;

• Change allocations / Transfer assets from one fund to another;

• Rollover assets to or from another plan to this Plan or;

• Transfer assets to or from another plan to this Plan;

• Access your account for inquiry purposes, either online or via the 800#

During the beginning week and ending week of the blackout period you may contact (plan

administrator must provide toll free number or website and provide specific information for

accessing it) with questions regarding the exact date the blackout period will begin and end.

El costo queimplica esperarComience hoy a ahorrar

Una buena regla general es ahorrarsuficiente dinero para asegurarse de queva a vivir como siempre ha vivido. Noespere que tendrá menos gastos en susaños dorados que los que tiene ahora.La mayoría de los asesores financierosestán de acuerdo en que necesitará de70 a 80 por ciento más del ingresoprevio a la jubilación para mantener suestilo de vida durante esos años.

Tenga también en mente que el costo dela vida durante la jubilación sigueaumentando, ya que el costo de laatención médica, vivienda, energía yotros costos también aumenta. Además,no subestime el poder de la inflación, yaque incluso una inflación baja puededañar el poder adquisitivo de los dólaresque tiene ahorrados para su jubilación.Por ejemplo, si usted estima una tasa deinflación del 3% durante los próximos25 años, un galón de leche que comprehoy a $4,29 le costará $8,37 en 2031.

Así que aunque sus gastos en el mejorde los casos se mantengan iguales, oincluso aumenten, no puede esperar que

ocurra lo mismo con su ingreso. Esa es larazón por la que cada día que pasa queusted no ahorra es otro dólar queprobablemente no tendrá para sujubilación.

Ahorre ahora, pague después

Una de las mejores y más sencillasmaneras de comenzar a ahorrar es sacarprovecho del plan de jubilaciónpatrocinado por su empleador, como losplanes de compensación diferida 401(k),403(b) o 457. Y si usted está preocupadode si puede pagarlo, tenga en mente queestos planes pueden ahorrarle dineroahora y más adelante. Funciona así:

• Menos impuestos hoy: Los aportes a suplan se hacen antes de las deduccionesdel impuesto sobre el ingreso, lo quesignifica que está pagando menos enimpuestos actuales con cada chequede pago.

• Menos impuestos mañana: Su cuentacrece con impuestos diferidos, lo quesignifica que usted no paga impuestossino hasta que retire los fondos del plan.Debido a que lo más probable es que enese momento usted estará en un rangoimpositivo menor, pagará menosimpuestos que lo que pagaríaactualmente. (Nota: Pueden aplicarsemultas a los retiros anticipados,usualmente antes de los 59 ½ años).

¿Ya empezó a ahorrar para sujubilación? ¿Piensa que ustedestará bien si comienza a ahorrarmañana? ¿o el mes próximo? ¿o elpróximo año? Piénselo de nuevo.Ahorrar aunque solo sea unpequeño monto cada mes puedehacer una gran diferencia cuandoesté listo para jubilarse. Entonces,¿por qué esperar? ¡Comience hoya ahorrar!

Más años, más dinero

La buena noticia es que, es muyprobable que usted viva más años quelas generaciones pasadas. La malanoticia es que, vivir más significa quenecesitará más dinero para su jubilación,posiblemente hasta por 30 años.Cualquiera sea su sueño para lajubilación, ya sea viajar por el mundo,jugar golf o simplemente estar tranquiloy disfrutar de los nietos, lo último quedesea es preocuparse porque no lealcanzará el dinero.

Su futuro. Más fácil.®Preparación para lajubilaciónCómo respaldar la visión que usted tiene desu jubilación

planificación adecuada, el vivir más de loque puedan rendir sus ahorros es unaposibilidad real. De modo que, ¿estálisto para jubilarse?

Vidas más largas, jubilacionesmás largasHoy en día la gente vive más que nunca.Esas son las buenas noticias. Las malasson que necesitará más dinero para sujubilación. La Sociedad de Actuariosinforma que un hombre de 65 añostiene una probabilidad del 50% dellegar a los 85 años, mientras que unamujer de 65 tiene una posibilidad del50% de llegar a los 88 años. Y que laprobabilidad de que al menos uno delos miembros de una pareja de 65 añosalcance una edad de 92 años es del50%.1

El intentar determinar qué tan larga serásu vida no es una opción realista. Sumejor opción es apostar a que vivirá másde lo que piensa, y tener en cuenta laposibilidad de que necesitará ingresospara su jubilación hasta que tenga 90años o más.

¿Cómo imagina que será sujubilación? Tal vez dará la vuelta almundo. O jugará golf. Osimplemente descansará y disfrutaráde sus nietos. Ahora pregúntesecómo va a convertir ese sueño enrealidad. ¿El camino que hoy transitale permitirá pagar para hacerrealidad el sueño de su jubilación?

“El futuro ya no es lo que eraantes”Yogi Berra, personaje legendario delbéisbol, podría haber resumido lo quesignifica la jubilación con esa citaoriginal y profunda. Para bien o paramal, la jubilación ya no es lo que eraantes. El retirarse a la edad de 65 añoscon un reloj de oro en el bolsillo ysentarse en una mecedora en el porchede la casa ya no es la situación máscomún para los jubilados.

Hoy en día muchos ven la jubilacióncomo una etapa de actividad y departicipación. El respaldar esa visión, noobstante, es otra cosa. Diversos factorespudieran poner en peligro sus metas deingresos durante su jubilación. Sin una

La familia de compañías de ING suministra esta información sólo para su conocimiento.

Los gastos pueden ser muycostososConforme a las pautas generales de lajubilación, sus ahorros deberánreemplazar entre un 70% y un 80% desus ingresos anteriores a la jubilación, enfunción de qué tan activo (o costoso)será el estilo de vida que planee para sujubilación.

Aunque algunos gastos podríandesaparecer al dejar de trabajar, otrosrápidamente los reemplazarán y podríanhasta ser mayores.

Usted puede probablemente despedirsede los gastos relacionados con sutrabajo, como la ropa de trabajo,almuerzos fuera de la casa, impuestosde nómina y aportes a los planes dejubilación. Pero tendrá muchos gastosnuevos, como viajes, pólizas de seguro ymedicamentos. Además, el 69 porciento de los estadounidenses quealcanzan la edad de 65 años necesitaránatención médica a largo plazo en algúnmomento de sus vidas2 –una cifra que seespera aumente con el paso del tiempo.

Be a Better SaverGET INTO THE SAVING HABITThe economic unrest of the last 18months has caused many of us tobecome more aware of our spendingand prompted us to think about savingmore: for retirement, the unexpected,homes, cars, college, and otherfinancial goals.

In a thesaurus, terms such as“scaling-down” “belt-tightening” andeven “cheap” come up as alternativewords for saving. The definition of“save” is more positive – “accumulate,”“set aside,” or “keep.” Both aspects arevalid – the difference is in which viewyou choose to take on saving. “Belt-tightening” can help and may be anecessity, but there are otherapproaches you can take to try to“accumulate” what you need to meetyour financial goals.

Save for the FutureSaving for a comfortable retirement isone of the most important financialdecisions you can make, and youremployer-sponsored retirement savingsplan is one of the best ways you cansave for your future. Automatic payrolldeductions make saving easy and as aPlan participant, your contributions aremade (in most cases) with pre-taxdollars reducing your taxable income.

Even better, your Plan offers a varietyof professionally managed investmentoptions, and earnings on yourinvestments are automaticallyreinvested so even small contributionscan keep your savings growing. Theremay additional saving incentivesavailable through your employer orfrom the Federal government whenyou save with your Plan as well.

Save for TodaySaving for the here and now is asessential as saving enough to fund yourretirement. It’s also important to havean emergency fund to handle theunexpected in addition to the moneyyou need for regular living expenses.And don’t forget to include money todo the things you and your family enjoy.

Saving takes discipline, but itdoesn’t have to be painful. As youget into the habit of saving andwatch your nest egg start to grow,you’ll have the incentive to stay onthe path to a more secure financialfuture for you and your family.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF HOW TO GET STARTED CONSIDER A CHANGE WHERE TO GET ANSWERS

Deposit your paycheckdirectly into your savingsaccount. Transfer only whatyou need to pay your billsto your checking account.

Once you’ve paid off a credit cardor loan, keep making thosepayments to yourself by puttingthe money into your savings.

Walk away from big purchases for atleast 24 hours, or even a week or two.You could end up finding a better price,or rethinking the purchase altogether.

Get into the habit of tossing yourspare change (or even dollar bills)into a jar every day. It’s an easything to do and adds up fast!

ING EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY Excessive trading, or Market Timing, attempts to benefit from short-term "dislocations" between theprice of a mutual fund's shares and the value of underlying securities, particularly international investments. Excessive trading within a fundforces managers to hold additional cash reserves to cover the frequent trades, which means fewer dollars to invest for all fund participants.To help protect long-term shareholders' interests, affected fund managers have implemented measures with which ING's businesses mustcomply.

ING monitors "excessive trading," currently defined as the purchase and sale twice of the same fund (including the money market fund)within a 60-day calendar period ( i.e., 2 or more round-trips of the same fund within 60 days would violate ING's policy) or 6 round-tripswithin a 12 month period. A round-trip is defined as a Buy-Sell sequence of the same fund. We do not count transfers associated withscheduled dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs and transfers involving certain de minimis amounts when determiningwhether transfer activity is excessive. When ING detects excessive trading, it may restrict or suspend Internet, phone and fax transferprivileges, however, trades can continue to be submitted via regular U.S. mail. To view ING's entire excessive trading policy refer to yourparticipant website.

AGREEMENTS TO SHARE TRADING INFORMATION WITH FUNDS As required by Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act, theCompany has entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the contract.Your trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and theCompany's excessive trading policy. Under these agreements, the Company is required to share information regarding your transactionsincluding but not limited to information regarding fund transfers you initiated. In addition to information about your transactions, thisinformation may include personal information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract holder or participant's transactions if the funddetermines that the contract holder or participant has violated the fund's trading policies. This could include the fund directing us to rejectany allocations of purchase payments or account value to the fund.

REDEMPTION FEES SEC Rule 22c-2 requires funds to determine whether or not they should implement redemption fees to controlexcessive trading. Certain funds may deduct redemption fees as the result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions a contractowner initiates. If applicable, ING may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying fund(s) as a result ofwithdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions a contract owner initiates. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from anytransaction charges or other charges deducted from a contract owner's account value and are forwarded to the applicable fund. For a morecomplete description of the funds' fees and expenses, review each fund's prospectus.

YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, AND CHARGES, AND EXPENSES OF THE INVESTMENTOPTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. PROSPECTUSES CONTAINING THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION CAN BEOBTAINED BY CONTACTING YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFOREINVESTING.

CGO GREEN: SAVE PAPER To receive your statement and other documents electronically, log on to your plan's website and enter yourusername and password.

To help achieve long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the benefits of a well-balanced and diversifiedinvestment portfolio. Spreading your assets among different types of investments can help you achieve a favorable rate of return, whileminimizing your overall risk of losing money. This is because market or other economic conditions that cause one category of assets, orone particular security, to perform very well often cause another asset category, or another particular security, to perform poorly. If youinvest more than 20% of your retirement savings in any one company or industry, your savings may not be properly diversified. Althoughdiversification is not a guarantee against loss, it is an effective strategy to help you manage investment risk.

The Department of Labor (DOL) Internet website provides other sources of information regarding individual investing and diversification.That site can be accessed at: www.dol.gov/ebsa/investing.html

Your plan may permit each plan participant to direct the investment of some or all of the assets in his or her own account under the plan.Certain restrictions may apply to the right to direct the investment of these assets with regard to timing and the types of assets involved.Please see your Summary Plan Description or other plan related documents and materials to determine if you have the right to direct theinvestment of the assets in your own account and if so, to determine whether any restrictions apply with regard to that right. Please notethat the above message is not applicable for plans that are not subject to the ERISA guidelines, including all plans of public educationemployees.

Your plan may make available to you options (e.g. life insurance, self-directed brokerage account, and/or loans) that are not displayed onthis statement because they are not administered or made available through ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

The risks of investing in small company stocks may include relatively low trading volumes, a greater degree of change in earnings and greatershort-term volatility.Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and public disclosure, as well as economic and political risks.Some of the Funds invest in securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to the timely payment of principal and interest; however, shares of theFunds are not insured nor guaranteed.High yielding fixed-income securities generally are subject to greater market fluctuations and risks of loss of income and principal than areinvestments in lower yielding fixed-income securities.Sector funds may involve greater-than average risk and are often more volatile than funds holding a diversified portfolio of stocks in manyindustries. Examples include: banking, biotechnology, chemicals, energy, environmental services, natural resources, precious metals, technology,telecommunications, and utilities.

ING MAP SELECT

Supplement dated October, 2009 This supplement updates the contract information booklet and provides you (the employee/participant and/or the plan sponsor, as applicable) with important information regarding fund revenue sharing and expenses, sales compensation, third party administrator compensation, the availability of other products from ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company) and other important information. I. FUND REVENUE SHARING AND EXPENSE DISCLOSURE Fees Deducted by the Funds The investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses including service fees (if applicable) that may be charged annually by each fund are disclosed in a Fund Fees and Expenses Table available from your sales representative. The fund fee and expense information listed in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table was provided by the funds. See “Fund Fees and Expenses” below and the fund prospectuses for further information. Fund fees are one factor that impacts the value of a fund share. To learn about additional factors, refer to the fund prospectuses. The Company or its affiliates may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. The Company or its affiliates may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company or its affiliates to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional payments may also be used by the Company or its affiliates to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company or its affiliates and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses. In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where an affiliated investment adviser employs subadvisers to manage the funds, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences. Investment management fees are apportioned between the affiliated investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts of revenue retained by the affiliated investment adviser. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. See “Fund Fees and Expenses” below for additional information. How Fees are Deducted. Fund fees are not deducted from account values. Instead, fund fees are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis. If the fund shares are offered under a group annuity contract or group funding agreement, as applicable, this will in turn affect the value of subaccounts that purchase the fund shares. Fund Share Classes. A single mutual fund usually offers more than one “class” of shares to investors. The key distinctions between these share classes are the charges and ongoing fees borne by the fund and absorbed by investors. These fees may include 12b-1 fees as well as administrative and “Sub-TA” fees (sometimes called service fees). The least expensive classes of mutual fund shares are often called “Initial Class” or “Class I” and generally only charge management fees and limited fees for other expenses related to the fund. These classes of shares usually generate the least amount of revenue for the Company, although they may pay service fees. Various share classes may charge 12b-1 fees up to 0.75%. These classes are often called Class A, Service Class, Adviser Class, R Class or S Class shares. They may also have other names.

The mutual fund component of this product may make more than one menu of funds available for the plan sponsor to select from. Generally, these menus differ from one another according to ranges of fund fee expense levels, administrative fund fees, and by share class. Plan sponsors should know that the expense levels associated with a fund menu may affect billed expenses, daily asset charges and other features of the product. This is because other product charges are related to the amount of fund revenue that the Company receives. Plan sponsors should discuss with their sales professional how fund revenues may affect services provided as well as other product fees and charges, as mentioned above. Fund Fee Adjustment. As described above, the Company earns varying levels of revenue from the funds available under the product. The Company assesses an additional fee (called an administrative fund fee) against certain funds in order to limit the effect of fund revenue differentials on other product pricing features. The administrative fund fee may be positive or negative (a negative fee is applied as a credit against the product's daily asset charge (if any). Fund Fees and Expenses As shown in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and contract owner or participant services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds' fees and expenses, review each fund's prospectus. The Company or its U.S. affiliates [generally] receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the contract. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining contract fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our contracts. Fund revenue is important to the Company’s profitability, and it is generally more profitable for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds. In terms of dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other Company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be subadvised by a Company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a Company affiliate but subadvised by unaffiliated third parties typically generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to unaffiliated funds typically generate the least amount of revenue. The Company expects to make a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors. Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other Company affiliates, which may or may not also be subadvised by another Company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a Company affiliate but which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties. Revenues received by the Company from affiliated funds may include: • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets and included within the “Management

Fees” column of the Fund Fees and Expenses Table; • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets and included within the “Other Expenses” column of

the Fund Fees and Expenses Table; • For certain share classes, the Company or its affiliates may also receive compensation paid out of

12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets and disclosed in the “12b-1 Fees” column of the Fund Fees and Expenses Table; and

• Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the Company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees shown in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table.

These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds Revenues received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates are based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant. Revenues received by the Company from unaffiliated funds include: • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund

assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table; and

• Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds

or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments are not disclosed in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table and do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in the Fund Fees and Expenses Table. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the contract.

These revenues are received as cash payments. The following table shows the top twenty-five unaffiliated fund families ranked according to the total amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2008, in connection with unregistered variable separate account contracts issued by the Company:

2008, Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC. If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in the table above, payments from Directed Services LLC and other Company affiliates would be first on the list. Please note certain management personnel and other employees of the Company or its affiliates may receive a portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in Company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund's investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to Company sales representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to co-branded marketing materials; targeted marketing sales opportunities; training opportunities at meetings; training modules for sales personnel; and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers. Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds” (including the ING Index Solution portfolios, ING Retirement portfolios and ING Solution portfolios) or “Master Feeder” funds (including the Eaton Vance Large-Cap Value Fund and ING Fidelity VIP Portfolios) which may be available under the contract for your plan. These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities, because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. Some of these funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated as well. The fund prospectuses and the mutual fund fact sheets disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. II. SALES COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE Contract Distribution The Company's subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the distributor for the contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). ING Financial Advisers, LLC's principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. The contracts are offered to the public by sales professionals who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, registered representatives of other broker-dealers which have entered into a selling arrangement with ING Financial Advisers, LLC, or not registered with any broker-dealer. We refer to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and the other broker-dealers selling the contracts as “distributors.” All sales professionals selling the contracts must be appropriately licensed as insurance agents for the Company.

Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by plan sponsors or participants. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts. Compensation Arrangements Commission Payments. Sales professionals provide numerous services, including services to plan sponsors and participants. These include installing and servicing contracts, providing product explanations, and periodically reviewing participants' retirement needs as well as the investment options available under the contract. Compensation to sales professionals is provided through sales commissions. Commissions paid on transferred assets and recurring contributions made during the first year of the contract or, if applicable, participant account range from 0% to 2.0%. After the first year of the contract or, if applicable, participant account, renewal commissions ranging from 0% to 2.0% may be paid on recurring contributions and extraordinary contributions. In addition, the Company may pay an asset based commission ranging up to 1.0% per year. Sales professionals who are registered with a distributor may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, depending upon the firm's practices. The amount of commissions and annual payments paid to your sales professional is disclosed in the written materials we provide at the point of sale. Your sales professional may select the level of compensation he or she receives in connection with the sale of the contract. The factors the sales professional may consider in selecting the level of compensation include the complexity of the case, the level of sales and ongoing service support to be provided by the sales professional and the costs incurred by the sales professional in providing that support. The level of commission paid on a particular contract affects the level of charges under the contract, including the daily asset charge and the applicability of an early withdrawal charge schedule. The level of commission paid on a particular contract may also affect the rate credited to the Fixed Account and/or the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, if applicable. Because the sales professional may select the level of compensation he or she receives in connection with the sale of the contract, he or she may have a financial incentive to recommend this contract over other contracts. The plan sponsor should discuss with the sales professional the level of compensation he or she will choose in connection with the sale of this contract and how that compensation may compare with compensation available under other products or contracts the sales professional feels may be suitable for you. Plan sponsors interested in obtaining more information about the compensation options available to their sales professional and how they impact the charges and terms of your contract, including the daily asset charge, the rate credited to the Fixed Account, and the selection of share classes to be included in your contract, should consult with their sales professional. Other Compensation Arrangements. We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms' aggregate or anticipated sales of the contracts, or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered to all distributors, and the terms of such

Page 56: ING Retirement plan

Supplement to MAP Select Participant and Plan Sponsor Information Booklets

MAPSelectRevSupp-09 (10/09)

6

arrangements may differ among distributors based on various factors. These special compensation arrangements may also be limited only to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and other distributors affiliated with the Company. Any such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may also pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or other compensation to sales professionals and distributors, which may require the sales professional or distributor to attain a certain threshold of sales of Company products. These other promotional incentives or payments may not be offered to all distributors, and may be limited only to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and other distributors affiliated with the Company. Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including trips and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Management personnel of the Company, and of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if management personnel meet or exceed goals for sales of the contracts, or if the overall amount of investments in the contracts and other products issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts, or which may be a flat dollar amount that varies based upon other factors, including management’s ability to meet or exceed service requirements, sell new contracts or retain existing contracts, or sell additional service features such as a common remitting program. In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, sales professionals and distributors may also be paid additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling contracts to plan sponsors and other customers. These amounts may include: • Marketing/distribution allowances that may be based on the percentages of purchase payments

received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;

• Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training

meetings to provide information and training about our products, including holding training programs from time to time at our own expense;

• Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for distributors to use in sales contests and/or meetings for

their sales professionals who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;

• Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of

earned commissions, representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of contracts; • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of purchase payments (a form of

lending to registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms, such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which may be conditioned on contract sales.

• Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This

may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

We pay dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the contract. The following is a list of the top twenty-five selling firms that, during 2008, received the most compensation, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of packaged programs and registered and unregistered variable separate account contracts issued by the Company, ranked by total dollars received. Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. ING Financial Partners, Inc. LPL Financial Corporation NFP Securities, Inc. Park Avenue Securities, LLC Financial Network Investment Corporation SagePoint Financial, Inc. Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation NRP Financial, Inc. Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation Symetra Investment Services, Inc. Morgan Keegan and Company, Inc. Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC

Walnut Street Securities, Inc.® Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated Mutual Service Corporation Huckin Financial Group, Inc. Tower Square Securities, Inc. Financial Telesis Inc./JHW Financial & Insurance Services Multi-Financial Securities Corporation American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. National Planning Corporation Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. Securities America, Inc. M Holdings Securities, Inc.

If the amounts paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC, were included, ING Financial Advisers, LLC would be first on the list. This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our unregistered variable separate account contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume or sales-based compensation to a distributor or sales professional, along with the ability of the sales professional to select from various compensation options, may provide that sales professional a financial incentive to promote our contracts over those of another company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over another. The names of the distributor and/or the sales professional responsible for the contract are stated in separate disclosure materials. Third Party Administrator Compensation Arrangements. Some retirement plans utilize the services of a third party administrator (TPA). If the plan sponsor has retained the services of a TPA, your TPA may participate in our Alliance and/or Partnership TPA Service Reimbursement Programs. Payments under these programs are intended to reward TPAs who work effectively with the Company's systems and processes to facilitate the efficient delivery of Company products and services. The local delivery by independent TPAs of plan and compliance services helps fulfill the service needs of many of our customers. At the same time, the Company's local TPA relationships also help us improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our product offerings and marketing strategy. TPAs assist us in educating brokers about our products and capabilities. In addition, the Company hosts TPA conferences each year to provide forums for the exchange of ideas on best practices relating to the servicing and administration of retirement plans. The conferences also serve as platforms for discussing the Company's product initiatives and how well those initiatives are meeting market needs. Attendees may be reimbursed for all or a portion of their attendance costs and may receive meals and entertainment at such conferences. Eligibility for payments and the amount of payment is subject to the Company's guidelines. Qualification criteria include demonstrated ability to effectively interface with Company systems and processes, retention and growth in assets and the number of plans serviced by the Company and the TPA, and participation in Company education/training and consulting programs. Payments under the Alliance Program range from 0.02% to 0.96% of first year contributions (including transferred assets). Payments under the Partnership Program are up to 0.05% annually on the average of assets maintained in the plan.

The Company does not adjust your particular contract fees based on whether your TPA participates in either or both programs. Our contract fees generally reflect the overall costs we incur in providing the product and services to you, including the costs of payments to third parties. Other Third Party Compensation Arrangements • The Company may seek to promote itself and the contracts by sponsoring or contributing to events

sponsored by various associations, professional organizations and labor organizations. • The Company may make payments to associations and organizations, including labor organizations,

which endorse or otherwise recommend the contracts to their membership. If an endorsement is a factor in your contract purchasing decision, more information on the payment arrangement, if any, is available upon your request.

• At the direction of the contract plan sponsor, we may make payments to the contract plan sponsor, its representatives or third party service providers intended to defray or cover the costs of plan or program-related administration.

III. PRODUCT SUITE DISCLOSURE We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than these contracts that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products differ according to benefits, fees and charges. Plan sponsors who are interested in learning more about these other products may contact their sales professional. IV. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through: • Increased trading and transaction cost; • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover; • Lost opportunity costs; and • Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all

contract owners and participants. This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase or participate in the contract. Excessive Trading Policy. The Company and its affiliates that provide multi-fund variable insurance and retirement products have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products and retirement products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and reallocation activity: • Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our

variable insurance and retirement products, or participants in such products.

We currently define “Excessive Trading” as: • 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 our definition of Excessive Trading; or

• Six round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period. The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive: • Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments,

withdrawals and loans); • Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing, or scheduled

asset allocation programs; • Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less; • 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 • Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of companies, or a fund. If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip involving the same fund, we will send them a letter (once per year) 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 service center or other electronic trading medium that we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we 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 will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of any 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 the investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity. If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those that involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. 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 or entity’s trading activity 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 or entity, and the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy. Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, or participants in such products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above. Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy. The Company does not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of contract owners, participants, and fund investors, and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract owners and participants or, as applicable, to all contract owners and participants investing in the underlying fund. Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market-timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above. Limits Imposed by the Underlying Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the fund. Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the contract. Contract owner and participant trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the Company is required to share information regarding contract owner and participant transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner and participant transactions, this information may include personal contract owner and participant information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers. As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract owner or participant’s transactions if the fund determines that the contract owner or participant has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of purchase payments or account value to the fund or all funds within the fund family.

Redemption Fees. Also as part of complying with Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, certain fund companies may deduct redemption fees as the result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions that a participant or the plan sponsor initiates. If applicable, the Company may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the fund(s). These fees are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from a participant’s account value. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review the fund prospectuses.

You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable product and its underlying fund options carefully before investing. The fund prospectuses and information booklets contain this and other information, which can be obtained by contacting your local representative. Please read the information carefully before investing.

*Sold as a group annuity contract in the state of Washington.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Company issues the contract described in this booklet and provides administrative services. We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financialinstitution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. Securities are distributed through and financial planning is offered by ING Financial Advisers, LLC-member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), and other broker-dealers with which theCompany has selling agreements.

THE MAP SELECT ALLOCATED FUNDING AGREEMENT

The contract described in this booklet is designed to fund qualified 401 corporate plans (including those of employers that have elected Subchapter S tax status) or planssponsored by employers of governmental and tax-exemptorganizations and self-employed plans that meet certain requirements. Contracts generally are issued to the trustees of a single plan, directly to a plan sponsor using a passive trustee for non-discretionary directed trustee services, or may be issued to a collective trust to fund multiple employers' retirement plans.

MAP Select features a variable pricing structure designed to reflect the actual services and distribution costsassociated with a retirement plan. The Company issues a group fundingagreement to cover all current and future participants under the sponsor's

retirement plan. This flexible payment contract can accept ongoing contributions and assets accumulated under this or a prior retirement plan.We also make available an information booklet for employees at their enrollment. That booklet describes the basic features of the allocated MAP Select contract.

THE MAP SELECT PLAN ACCOUNTS

Under the contract, we maintainallocated plan accounts for the following: individual participants enrolled under the contract (participant accounts), participants who separate from service with their employer (separated employee accounts), and the contract holder (trustee accounts). Multiple source records may be established for each plan account type (participant, separated employee or trustee), to track different types of employer and employee contributions (elective deferral, voluntary, employer match, etc.). Additionally, one sourcerecord will be established to accommodate pre-tax participant rollovers from other sponsored plansand from IRAs. Additional sourcerecords to accommodate post-taxrollover amounts are also available.

THE MAP SELECT INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Variable Investment Options

The MAP Select product offers a widerange of variable fund investment options in the contract, across all asset classes. MAP Select also offers a self-directed brokerage account (SDBA)option available as an accompaniment to the contract. Additional details on SDBA, including eligibility and costs,are provided separately.

Options in the contract are variable and involve investment risks. Contract values accumulating under any variable investment option will

Page 64: ING Retirement plan

fluctuate as the investment performance of the fund fluctuates. When contributions are allocated to a variable fund, shares of that fund are purchased by the Company and held in a pooled separate account. The separate account actually holds the fund shares. Your contract holds units of participation in the separate account.Some of these separate accountholdings may include different share classes within the same fund family.Different funds and fund share classes pay varying levels of fees to theCompany. Pricing for your plan takes these different fee levels into consideration and the different fee levels can provide flexibility in your overall cost. As a result, it is possible that different share classes within a fund family, or across different fund families, may be utilized in offeringthe variable investment options to your plan.

The variable investment options for your plan are described in the separate disclosure material and in fund prospectuses. A prospectus on each fund that you select for the plan will be provided and prospectuses for all funds offered under the contract are available at any time upon request. Unless otherwise arranged, we do not provide fund prospectuses directly to participants. Plan participants receive fund fact sheets. At our discretion, we may add, restrict, or withdraw the availability of investment options in the future. Certain restrictions may apply to the type and number of investment options selected for the plan, as described in the separate material.

The valuation of the variable investment options is dependent upon the securities markets. The applicable valuation date for fund transactions is subject to federal securities laws and regulations. Also, certain funds may deduct redemption fees to discourage market timing and other short-term

trading strategy. (See “Redemption Fees” in the Supplement.)

You should consider the investment

objectives, risks, and charges and

expenses of the variable product and

its underlying fund options offered

through a retirement plan carefully

before investing. The information

booklet and fund prospectuses

contain this and other information

and can be obtained by contacting

before investing.

Credited Interest Options

MAP Select offers two different credited interest options. Only one option may be selected at one time under the contract. The Company's claims-paying ability should be taken into consideration in evaluating interest rate guarantees. The guarantee does not apply to the investment return or principal value of the variable investment options.

ING Fixed Account

The ING Fixed Account (Fixed Account) is generally a requiredinvestment option under the contract.

The Fixed Account provides stability of principal and credits interest on amounts allocated to this option. There are two kinds of guaranteed interest rates:

• Minimum guaranteed interest rate: We guarantee that interest will be credited at an annual effective yield that is no less than 1% and no greater than 3%. The minimumguaranteed interest rate isestablished for each calendar year and applies to all contracts issued during that year. It is guaranteed for the life of the contract.

• Floor interest rate: Each calendar year (1/1 to 12/31), the Company

will set a guaranteed floor interestrate. This rate will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate. The floor interest rate will be declared in writing, to the contract holder, prior to its effective date. During the year, we may credit interest at a rate greater than this one-year rate.

The minimum guaranteed interest rate, the floor interest rate and the current credited interest rate (that we may change at any time) are each expressed as an annual effective yield. Interest is credited to accounts on a daily basis. Once credited, the interest becomes a part of principal. This means that plan accounts earn compound interest. Taking the effect of compounding into account, the interest credited daily yields the current credited interest rate. Any changes in rates will apply to all amounts in the Fixed Account.

The current credited interest rate is based on plan-specific characteristics, plan-specific elections, compensationpaid to sales professionals and other factors. If those plan-specific elections and characteristics change, we may make corresponding adjustments to the current and floor interest rates, subject to the guarantees described above.

Fixed Account interest could be reduced if the plan allows participants investment options not provided under the contract (split-funded plans), or in-service withdrawals prior to age 59½. There are restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Account and a positive or negative Market Value Adjustment (MVA) may apply on contract surrenders. See "Transfers from the Fixed Account" and "Payment of Surrender Value from the Fixed Account" and the exhibit included in the Appendix for complete details.

ING Guaranteed Accumulation Account

The ING Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA) option (not available

for all plans and not available in

Minnesota) offers interest rates that will be credited for guaranteed terms of ten years or less. During a deposit period, usually a calendar month, contributions may be allocated into guaranteed terms in the short-termclassification (terms of three years or less), or into guaranteed terms in the long-term classification (terms of ten years or less, but greater than three). We will determine, in advance, the rates of interest that will be earned and the duration of each guaranteed term offered during a deposit period.

A positive or negative MVA may be applied to amounts surrendered or transferred prior to the end of a guaranteed term. The accompanying disclosure booklet describes GAA in detail. If GAA is selected, the Fixed Account is not available.

404(c) PROTECTION

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) imposes a "prudent man" standard of investment selection and monitoring on employers and other pension plan fiduciaries.Plan fiduciaries can be held liable for investment losses if they don't invest plan assets prudently. However, Section 404(c) of ERISA provides limited relief from liability in participant-directed individual account plans where the plans' investment options meet special conditions.

The variable investment options offered under MAP Select allow plan fiduciaries to take advantage of the 404(c) protection. Depending on the combination of funds selected, the investment options can qualify as "core funds" under the 404(c) rules since they are broadly diversified, have different risk/return characteristics, are

supported by pre- and post-enrollmentdisclosure material, are valued and accessible daily, and are look-throughinvestment vehicles (mandatory for employees with small account balances). The Fixed Account and GAA are designed to be additional investments (not 404(c) core funds) which, in combination with the variable fund options, provide contract holders with both a well-roundedportfolio and 404(c) protection without the need for outside investment managers. Because 404(c) protection depends on the plan sponsor's selection of core funds and providing participants with appropriate disclosures, we cannot ensure compliance with 404(c). Rather, our responsibility is to carry out the investment instructions received fromthe contract holder and/or participants in accordance with applicable federal and state requirements.

Although the contract can provide employers and trustees with 404(c) protection, it is important to understand that the Company is not a designated fiduciary or investment manager for any retirement plan, since we have no discretionary authority over the plan or its investments. The employer/sponsor has overall fiduciary responsibility for its plan. You should discuss the requirements for 404(c) protectioncarefully with your legal adviser. Among other things, plan fiduciaries are responsible for additional disclosures beyond those provided by us in connection with the contract. For example, you must tell participants in writing that you will be relying on404(c) protection, and deliver fund prospectuses to participants.

ROLES OF THE COMPANY AND THE PLAN SPONSOR

With MAP Select our objective is to provide you and your employees with afunding vehicle that makes retirementplans easier. One of the ways we do this is by focusing on financial

transactions on your behalf and providing you and your employees thorough yet easy-to-read statements and summaries of the terms and conditions that apply to all of the contract investment options.

Plan administration responsibilities are critical for the proper maintenance of your plan. Although some employers may decide to administer their own plans without outside assistance, we recommend that you consider hiring a Third Party Administrator (TPA) or consider the ING Plan Services Agreement. Either approach can assist you with the technicalities of plan operation, to prepare your plan documents and employee plan disclosure and to keep vesting and other support records for your plan. A comprehensive description of the INGPlan Services Agreement, including full descriptions of services and charges, can be provided to you by your sales representative. Plans must meet minimum asset requirements to use the ING Plan Services Agreement.The agreement with your TPA will outline the services to be provided by your TPA and the TPA fees for such services.

It is important to understand that while we will provide many services for you and your participants, the Company is not your plan administrator and does not assume a discretionary or fiduciary role on behalf of your plan. As the plan sponsor, you will always be responsible for things like:

• maintaining overall plan design and operation;

• choosing plan investment options;

• appointing a TPA or using the ING Plan Services Agreement toensure plan compliance with federal qualification requirements;

• providing the Company or yourTPA with employee data, contribution information and beneficiary designations;

Page 66: ING Retirement plan

4

• reviewing your plan, summary plan description and other plan documents with legal counsel;

• maintaining records provided by us and your TPA;

• administering your plan in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and tax rules;

• communicating your plan to employees (e.g., distributing disclosure material and answering employee questions);

• making plan contributions on a timely and good order basis using one of our standard automation methods;

• reviewing and reconciling payroll contribution information with contract investment reports;

• providing the Company and your TPA with new enrollee and contribution change information to facilitate re-enrollments;

• authorizing plan disbursements and forfeiture allocations;

• ensuring accuracy of information provided; and

• assuring participant enrollment information or fund mapping instructions are provided to us before contributions are allocated to accounts.

Unless electing an ING Plan Services Agreement, we'll provide you with certain data required by regulations to aid you in preparing your annual report (IRS form 5500) but we do notcomplete the form for you. In addition, the only records we maintain on your plan's behalf are those shown in your quarterly statements. We do not maintain information on participant vesting, cost basis, loan repayment schedules, and other plan activity that may be needed depending on the transactions made under your plan.

It is also important to understand that our sales representatives are not authorized to make binding commitments on behalf of the Company. Our obligations are

governed by the contract, once it's issued by our Home Office and delivered to you.

SELECTING CONTRACT INVESTMENT OPTIONS

At any time, you (or participants if you so permit) may change the investment options to which new contributions will be applied. There is generally no limit on the number of changes that can be made, unless you limit them under the terms of your plan.

CHANGING CONTRACT INVESTMENT SELECTIONS

Transfers among the investment options may be made at any time. There is generally no limit on the number of transfers that can be made from the variable investment options, unless you limit them under the terms of your plan or unless transfers are limited because of the ExcessiveTrading Policy (see below). For plans selecting GAA, there are some transfer restrictions that are disclosed in the GAA booklet.

Confirmation of Changes

Transaction requests received in good order by the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (normallyat 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) areprocessed the same business day. You and your plan participants will receive confirmation statements and are advised that failure to report any discrepancy within 30 days will indicate agreement with the transactions made in the accounts as reported on confirmation statements.

Excessive Trading Policy

The Company has an ExcessiveTrading Policy and monitors transfer activity. See the Supplement for details.

Systematic Allocation

MAP Select provides a systematic allocation feature so that the plan participants may use "dollar cost averaging" or "account rebalancing." Under dollar cost averaging, participants may transfer amounts from one of the variable fund options available under the contract to another option within a selected source record in substantially equal installments. The amount applied must be no less than $100 per month over a period of at least 12 months (any period longer than 24 months requires prior approval). Account rebalancing allows participants to have variable fund options reallocated to specified percentages on a scheduled basis.Systematic allocations may not be made to or from the Fixed Account or GAA, except if authorized by us. Only one systematic allocation method may be in effect at any time and we reserve the right to limit the variable fund options that can be used for systematicallocations. Systematic allocation does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against loss. Investors should consider their financial ability to continue consistently investing in up as well as down markets. This feature is currently not available if electing an ING Plan Services Agreement.

TRANSFERS FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT

Percentage Limitation or Equity Wash Option Election

An irrevocable election must be made on the contract application form, on whether transfers from the Fixed Account will use a percentage limitation or an equity wash option. Partial surrenders from the contract to a self-directed brokerage option arealso treated as transfers and are included in this irrevocable election. Both of these options are described in more detail below.

Page 67: ING Retirement plan

5

• Percentage Limitation Option

Limited transfers are permitted from the Fixed Account to any of the other investment options. The percentage permitted for transfer may vary at our discretion, but will never be less than 10% of the balance held in the Fixed Account on January 1 of a calendar year. The Company may allow a higher percentage up to 100%. However, if a participant has elected to transfer the maximum allowable amount from the Fixed Account in each of the four consecutive prior calendar years, and has not made any new contributions to the Fixed Account during that period, the participant is allowed to transfer the entire remaining balance. Also, if any plan account has less than $2,000 in the Fixed Account, the entire balance may be transferred to another available contract investment option.

• Equity Wash Option

If this option is elected for plans with no competing investment options, transfers from the Fixed Account can be made at any time from each plan account without limitations or restrictions. For plans that do have competing investment options, transfers are allowed at any time provided:

1. The Fixed Account transfer is not directed into a competing investment option;

2. A transfer into a competing investment option from any non-competing investment option has not occurred within 90 calendar days; and

3. A partial surrender has not occurred within 90 calendar days.

Transfers into a competing investment option from another investment option are allowed at

any time provided that no prior transfers from the Fixed Account have occurred within 90 calendar days.

A "competing investment option" is defined as any investment option under the MAP Select contract or other contract or investment program offered by the Company or its affiliates or other financial providers in connection with the plan that:

1. provides a direct or indirect guarantee of investment performance; or

2. is, or may be, invested primarily in assets other than common or preferred stock; or

3. is, or may be, invested primarily in financial vehicles, (such as mutual funds, trusts and insurance company contracts) which are invested in assets other than common or preferred stock.

In addition, the self-directed brokerage account option is considered a competing investment option. Competing investment options may not be immediately available on plans electing the equity wash option. Additional limitations on the movement of amounts from the Fixed Account may apply prior to any contract surrender.

CONTRACT CHARGES AND FEES FOR THE PLAN SPONSOR AND PARTICIPANTS

Contract Installation Charge

A one-time contract installation charge may be imposed on both the plan sponsor and the participants. The amount of the installation charge will appear in your MAP Select contractand the explanation as to how it is determined appears in your proposal. If applicable, the plan sponsor installation charge must be paid separately with the signed application.The installation charge for the

participants will be uniformly deducted from the participant accounts after the initial transferred asset contribution(s) is applied. The maximum one-timeinstallation charge for each participant with initial transferred assets is $100. Additional options may be available as explained in the separate disclosure material.

Account Maintenance Fees

Account fees reimburse the Company for some of its administrative expenses relating to the establishment and maintenance of plan accounts. Account fees may apply to the contract at the plan sponsor level and for participantsduring each contract year. The account fee is ordinarily deducted on a quarterly frequency, three months following the initial contribution made to the contract. As an alternative, the plan sponsor may, in accordance with our administrative practices, elect to pay the fee directly to us, or at contract installation elect to pay the fee as an increase to the contract's Daily Asset Charge.

The maximum quarterly fee for each participant for whom an account is established under the contract is $25. Since all enrollment information and contribution instructions must be submitted using one of our standard automation methods, the contract holder will generally be eligible for an account fee reduction in accordance with our administrative practices. The amount of account fee reduction could change at any time. An experience credit equal to the contract's annual account fee may apply, in accordance with our experience rating practice. The initial quarterly account fee for the plan sponsor and for each participant and the designated source record if it is to be deducted from participantaccounts will appear in your MAP Select contract.

If account fees are to be deducted from participant accounts, they are deducted

Page 68: ING Retirement plan

6

from the source record designated by us proportionately from all investment options. The amount of the quarterly account fee may be changed by the Company, following the review of the initial transferred assets and during the annual contract review.

Transferred Asset Benefit (TAB) Recovery Charge and ContractSurrender Charge

Under specific conditions, when authorized by state insurance law, we may reimburse a plan wholly or in part for any exit charge assessed by another financial provider by crediting an additional amount to the assets transferred to us from the investment vehicle of the other provider. We will recover this credit through an increase in the Daily Asset Charge, a reduced credited interest rate on the Fixed Account and by implementing a 1 to 7year TAB recovery charge schedule.

Minimum asset requirements apply and more complete details can be provided upon request. Any request for a TAB from a qualifying plan sponsor must be pre-approved by our Home Office prior to the contract installation.

A 1 to 7 year contract surrender charge schedule may apply, depending on theplan specific characteristics. Both the TAB recovery charge and/or the contract surrender charge, ifapplicable, will appear in your MAPSelect contract. Charges are calculatedas a percentage of the amount withdrawn and are assessed so we may recover a portion of our sales and administration expenses. If a charge applies, the percentage would be determined by the number of completed contract years between the date the first contribution is applied to the contract and the date of the surrender.

The primary purpose of the MAP Select contract is to provide retirement income benefits for plan participants.

Accordingly, no TAB recovery charge or contract surrender charge is assessed against withdrawals taken for reasons of participant retirement, severance from employment, hardship, loan, death, disability or in-servicewithdrawal after age 59½. Generally, these are the only conditions where a participant-initiated withdrawal may be permitted under the contract.

DAILY ASSET CHARGE ANDVARIABLE FUND EXPENSES

Contributions invested in the variable investment options will generally be subject to a Daily Asset Charge. Each of the variable funds also includes separate expenses, as described in the fund fact sheets and in the fundprospectuses. The revenue the Company receives from the variable funds and the Daily Asset Charge reimburses us for a portion of our marketing and sales expenses as well as the costs of the many services provided by the Company and its representatives (e.g., the Call Centers and Internet account access, daily valuation systems, regulatory information, transaction processing, newsletters, sponsor and employee education and enrollment, etc.). Please refer to the Supplement for more information.

Daily Asset Charge (DAC)

The DAC is assessed against the variable funds and is expressed as an annual percentage. The applicable DAC will be based on plan-specificcharacteristics (plan assets, number of participants, etc.) and plan-specificelections (fund menu, investment elections, whether expenses are billed to the plan sponsor or not, level of marketing and distribution expenses, the extent to which plan fiduciaries direct us to pay TPA administration fees, etc.).

The MAP Select contract holder may elect additional services that will result

in increased DAC being assessed on the variable fund options and/or a lower credited interest rate on the Fixed Account. Also, there may be an administrative fund fee adjustment to the DAC depending on the fund menu chosen as described in the “Fund Revenue Sharing and Expense Disclosure” section of the Supplement.

The Daily Asset Charge will appear in the separate disclosures that your sales representative will provide to you. The DAC for the initial year, a schedule of the maximum DAC at specific plan asset breakpoints and if applicable, theDAC adjustments on the selected fund menu, will also appear in your MAPSelect contract.

The Company reserves the right to review and adjust the Daily Asset Charge on the contract year anniversary date. The DAC may be adjusted due to the attainment of a higher or lower plan assetaccumulation breakpoint, changes intotal investment selection, or in theaverage participant account balances or in other plan characteristics. The DACis also subject to adjustment if the initial transferred assets vary significantly from the assumptions on which the initial DAC was based. Changes in the DAC may also result in a change to the Fixed Account credited interest rate. The Company will generally provide advance written notice of a DAC adjustment but is not required to do so to actually implement an adjustment. The plan sponsor and the Company may agree that all or part of the DAC may be billed and paid separately.

The DAC may be increased for contracts that allow the participants investment options outside of the MAP Select contract (split-funded plans), and for plans that permit in-servicewithdrawals for participants before reaching age 59½.

The total DAC will never be less than 0.00%.

SALES COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

Please refer to the Supplement for salescompensation information.

CONTRACT SURRENDERS

Full and partial surrenders are satisfied by withdrawing amounts on a pro-ratabasis from all investment options available under a plan account. The contract holder, or participant, if applicable (allowed on split-fundedplans for example), may specify a particular order in which investment options can be withdrawn on a partial surrender request. However, any partial surrender including amounts from the Fixed Account must be paid pro-ratafrom all investment options and is limited to once per 90 days. If a surrender or TAB recovery charge is due, it will be deducted after any applicable Fixed Account or GAA MVA is deducted.

Any severance from employment must generate IRS tax reporting of the payment, and not result in a direct transfer of the participant's account balance by the employer to the new

employer's plan, in order to be regarded as a benefit.

PAYMENT OF SURRENDER VALUE FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT

We will make an unadjusted lump-sumpayment from the Fixed Account for the purpose of paying a benefit (defined as being due to participant retirement, severance from employment, hardship, loan, death, disability or in-service withdrawal after age 59½). Such a withdrawal must be made proportionately from theparticipant's plan investment options. On all surrenders from the Fixed Account, we will pay the Fixed Account surrender value by using a Market Value Adjustment (MVA) or a scheduled payment method, as elected by the contract holder. More information on the Fixed Account MVA can be found in the Appendix.

CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT

The Company, through its authorized officers in the Home Office, may change the contract by giving written notice to the contract holder 30 days before the effective date of the change.We may change the contract at any time where such change is required by federal or state law, or where there are potential adverse financial effects to the contract resulting from a change made by the plan.

We may change certain contract provisions by giving 30 days' written notice. However, any such changeswill not apply to amounts held in existing plan accounts, but may apply only to contributions made to such accounts after any such change.

We may change the scheduled period of time payment option and table for such option by giving 30 days' written notice. Any change will not apply to amounts held in existing plan accounts, but will only apply to new participants

and contributions made on or after the change. Any change will not affect the amount or terms of any scheduledperiod of time option beginning before the change is effective.

We may change the MVA formula(s) in the contract by giving written notice to the contract holder at least 90 days prior to the effective date of the change. Any changes to the GAA MVA formula will apply only to new guaranteed terms established on or after the change is effective.

Where we propose a change to the contract requiring mutual agreement, if the contract holder does not agree to the change, no new participants will be covered by the contract. Also, in this situation, we may stop accepting additional contributions for the existing participants covered under the contract.

After the completion of five contract years, we may terminate the contract by providing the contract holder a 90-day written notice to pay out the full value without fees, charges or MVA.If agreed to by the contract holder, we may also transfer the full value that may be subject to charges or MVA to another contract offered by the Company or one of its affiliates.

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

To avoid certain tax penalties, distributions must begin in the form of periodic benefit payments no later than the April 1 following the calendar year in which the participant turns age 70½or retires, whichever occurs later. The contract holder must direct us to schedule a payment option or make a lump-sum payment.

Federal law, through the Retirement Equity Act (REA), generally requires that payments to married participants must have spousal consent. The contract holder must certify that any payment option (or pre-retirement

Page 70: ING Retirement plan

death benefit) elected complies with the provisions of REA.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

The contract holder may elect on behalf of the participant or a deceased participant's beneficiary under the plan the following payment options:

Lump-Sum Payment - We will pay a lump sum equal to all or any vested portion of the participant's account value.

Systematic Distribution Options

(SDO) - We provide several different systematic distribution options thatallow for scheduled withdrawals from a participant account. SDO payments are available, where allowed by the plan, to participants who meet certain age and account value requirements under the contract. More information on the available options can be provided on request.

The participant account remains in the accumulation phase under the contract. This means that transfers among investment options continue to be available, contract charges continue to apply and the lump-sum payment is still an available option.

Scheduled Period of Time Option* -

We provide a fixed interest option using the Company's general account that offers a guaranteed benefit stream of payments to participants. We alsoguarantee that interest will be credited at an annual equivalent yield that is at least equal to 1.50%. This guarantee is based on the claims-paying ability of the Company. The payment optionmade available to participants at retirement is called the scheduled period of time option. Under this option, periodic payments can be made for a fixed period of years that must be at least 5 and not more than 30.

The scheduled period of time optionelection is subject to the terms of the

plan and direction of the contract holder. A contract holder, on behalf of the participant, may not elect thisoption if the first payment would be less than $100 or if the total payments in a year would be less than $500. If the account value is insufficient to meet these minimum amounts, a lump sum payment must be elected. When payments start, the age of the participant plus the number of years for which payments are guaranteed may not exceed that permitted by the Internal Revenue Code minimum required distribution regulations. Once elected, scheduled payments can not be commuted to a lump sum.

Additional payment options may be made available to participants under a separate Company single premium immediate annuity contract.

*For a MAP Select group annuity contract (state of Washington only), we provide the Scheduled Period of Time option in the form of an annuity payment option.

DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THE CONTRACT

If the death of a retired participant occurs before all benefit payments are received under the scheduled period of time option, the designated beneficiarycan choose to either receive the remaining periodic payments or to have the present value of the payments paid in a lump sum.

If a plan participant dies before electing a scheduled period of timeoption, any benefits payable under the contract are payable to the contract holder, generally the plan trustees.

At the direction of the contract holder, we will pay a portion or all of the participant account value in a lump sum, or apply such amount to a SDO or scheduled period of time paymentoption for the participant's beneficiary under the plan.

Additional choices may be made available outside the contract for participant beneficiaries under a separate Company single premium immediate annuity contract.

DIRECT DEPOSIT

A direct deposit program for distributions paid directly to participants is available at no additional charge. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is an electronic deposit of benefit payment(s) directly into aparticipant’s checking or savings account by an automated clearing house. This allows participants to receive their payment(s) more quickly than traditional check processingtimelines.

TAX INFORMATION

Under federal tax law, qualified 401 plan contributions and investment earnings are not taxable until they are distributed. Taxation occurs when amounts are paid from the contract to participants (or their beneficiaries) for benefits under the plan. The contract serves as the vehicle for such a plan, providing the investment and payment options and other features described in this booklet, but is not necessary for the plan's favorable tax treatment.

APPENDIX

Market Value Adjustment - Fixed Account

On all surrenders from the Fixed Account, the Fixed Account surrender value will be paid in one of the following two ways, as elected by the contract holder:

(a) In equal principal payments, with interest, over a period not to exceed 60 months. During the payment period, the interest rate will be credited to the remaining Fixed Account balance at a single rate that is established at the start of the payment period and that will not be more than 1.50% below the rate being credited to the Fixed Account as of the date of surrender. In no event will the credited interest rate be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate.

or

(b) As a single payment, which has been adjusted by a Fixed Account Market Value Adjustment (MVA). To determine the single payment amount, the total Fixed Account surrender value is multiplied by the MVA.

The MVA is calculated as follows:

MVA = 1 - [ (1 - ((1+a) 5.25 / (1+b) 5.25 )) (c) ]

Where: a is the Fixed Account standard credited rate (the median declared interest rate communicated monthly for this class of contract) as of the date of surrender; and

b is the rate for a 7-year Treasury Bond derived by interpolating between 5-year and 10-year TreasuryBond rates as found in the Citigroup Bond Market Roundup (if unavailable, a similar service will be utilized) for the week prior to the surrender, and

c is the percentage of Fixed Account surrender value to which the MVA applies.

% of Fixed Account surrender value to

Completed Contract Years* which the MVA applies ("c")*

Less than 1 0%1 but less than 2 20%2 but less than 3 40%3 but less than 4 60%4 but less than 5 80%

More than 5 100%

* The above MVA phase-in table may be different where an existing Company contract is converted to the MAP Select contract.
