WHEREAS, Section 4.2 of the ING Americas Severance Pay Plan as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2008 (the “Plan”) reserves to ING North America Insurance Corporation (the “Company”) the power to amend the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Company has decided to amend the Plan, effective October 1, 2009, to modify the Plan as it applies to certain repatriated and involuntarily terminated employees of the Company.

  1. Effective October 1, 2009, Section 1.18(f), shall be added to the definition of Qualified Termination to read as follows:

An Eligible Employee declining to continue employment where business needs require the Eligible Employee’s job to be performed at home for all or a significant part of the workweek, including an Eligible Employee who declines to commence such a home work location arrangement. If, as a result of business needs, an Eligible Employee transitions from working in an office to a home location, and within 30 days of commencing the home work location arrangement, the Eligible Employee communicates his/her desire to cease employment, the Company may, in its discretion, offer enhanced severance benefits to the Eligible Employee.

  1.19

Release Date means for each Eligible Employee, the official last date at work established by the Company or his or her Participating Employer. With respect to Eligible Employees who are involuntarily terminated as described in Section 1.18(d), “Release Date” shall be the first day the Eligible Employee is released to return to work under the STD Program. With respect to Eligible Employees who are involuntarily terminated as described in Section 1.18(e), “Release Date” shall be no later than the 30th day following repatriation. With respect to Eligible Employees who are involuntarily terminated as described in Section 1.18(f), “Release Date” shall be the last date at work established by the Company or the Participating Employer.
