the coinsurance agreement, as of the Effective Date, ING USA has ceded to SLD,
and SLD has agreed to assume and indemnity reinsure on a coinsurance basis, 100%
of the reinsured liabilities arising under certain fixed annuity contracts
issued by ING USA between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003 (the "Covered
Contracts"). ING USA remains directly obligated to the contractowners of the
Covered Contracts. The account balances ceded by ING USA to SLD under the
coinsurance agreement were approximately $ 2.5 billion as of the Effective Date.
The assets backing the reserves for the liability assumed by SLD were
transferred by ING USA to SLD as of the Effective Date. Total assets transferred

additional consideration for SLD assuming the liabilities under the coinsurance

the coinsurance agreement.

     ING USA and SLD are each indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep
N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.
