The shares of ING Solution Growth Portfolio - Initial Class, shares of ING Solution Growth Portfolio - Adviser Class and shares of ING Solution Growth Portfolio - Service Class shall represent an investment in a common investment portfolio.

Section 4.2     A description of the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of each class of Capital Stock of the Corporation (each hereinafter referred to as a “Class”) and each common investment portfolio of the Corporation (each hereinafter referred to as a “Portfolio”) is set forth in the Corporation’s Charter with respect to its shares generally and to the following:

(i)            Except for the differences set forth below or elsewhere in the Charter of the Corporation or required by law, each Class invested in a common Portfolio shall have the same preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption as each other Class invested in such Portfolio.

(iii)          The liabilities and expenses attributable to the respective Classes invested in a common Portfolio shall be determined separately from those of each other and, accordingly, the net asset values, the dividends and distributions payable to holders, and the amounts distributable in the event of liquidation of the Corporation or of the Portfolio to holders of shares invested in the Portfolio may vary between the Classes.
