ARTICLE II
ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF
GUARANTEED FUND
|
2.1
|
Establishment of Guaranteed Fund
|
The Insurance Company shall, on the Effective Date,
establish an accounting record called the Guaranteed
Fund.
The Guaranteed Fund shall be the sum of the Single
Deposit as defined in Section 1.3 and interest as credited in
accordance with Section 2.2 less any Contract Payments made in
accordance with Section 3.1. Any deposit made to the Single Deposit
shall be credited to the Guaranteed Fund on the day it is received.
Contract Payments shall be deducted from the Guaranteed Fund on the
day they are paid.
Interest shall be earned daily on the Guaranteed
Fund at the Credited Interest Rate set forth in Schedule A.
Interest earned shall be credited to the Guaranteed Fund on the
date such interest is paid. Monies accepted for the Contract shall
earn interest from the date they are received by the Insurance
Company up to, but not including, the date they are paid out. Such
earned interest is paid pursuant to Section 2 of Schedule
A.
ARTICLE III
PROCEDURE FOR PAYOUT
Contract Payments shall be paid to the Owner in
accordance with Schedule A, if they fall on a day the Federal
Reserve Wire Transfer System (the "System") is open. If the System
is closed on any Contract Payment Date specified in Schedule A, or,
if for any reason beyond the Insurance Company’s reasonable
control the Contract Payment is not paid on a Contract Payment Date
specified in Schedule A, the Contract Payment shall be paid on
the first day thereafter that the System is open. The amount of the
Contract Payment will equal the amount scheduled to be paid on the
scheduled Contract Payment Date pursuant to Schedule A plus
interest thereon at the Credited Interest Rate on the Guaranteed
Fund from the date of the scheduled Contract Payment Date to the
actual date of payment.
This Contract may not be surrendered nor will any
funds be paid to the Owner under this Contract except in accordance
with Schedule A at the times specified therein.
The Insurance Company will not make any loans on the
security of this Contract.
ARTICLE IV
ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER
If the Contract is owned in a trust capacity, the
Contract may be absolutely assigned by the Owner to a successor trustee without the Insurance Company's consent,
provided the Insurance Company is notified in a timely manner and
receives proper documentation of the assignment. The Contract may
not otherwise be assigned by the Owner without the prior written
approval of the Insurance Company.
The Insurance Company may not abrogate its
obligations under this Contract by assignment or
otherwise.
This Contract has not been registered as a security
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any other
federal or state laws relating to the registration of securities.
This Contract may, therefore, be subject to securities laws
restriction on its transfer and sale in addition to any such
restrictions set forth in this Contract.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
This Contract, including Schedule A, any rider,
endorsements, exhibits or amendments which may be attached hereto,
constitutes the entire agreement between the Insurance Company and
the Owner. There are no promises or obligations other than those
contained herein.

duplicate originals. Originals so issued shall constitute the same
contract and the Insurance Company's obligations shall not be
increased or expanded due to the issuance of the duplicate
originals.
The Insurance Company shall be entitled to rely and
act solely on the reports, directions, proofs, notices, elections
and other information furnished it by the Owner or its agent, which
shall be conclusive and binding as to all persons or corporations
claiming an interest hereunder.
Whenever any application, report, direction, request
or election is made or notice or proof is given to the Insurance
Company, it must be in writing and received by the Insurance
Company. Such notice is to be hand delivered or sent by mail,
telecopy, or other facsimile machine to ING Institutional Markets
1290 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203 or to fax #303-860-2690. An
election shall be in a form satisfactory to the Insurance Company
and if made and accepted shall not be subject to change or further
election unless with the consent of the Insurance
Company.
All monies payable to or by the Insurance Company
shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds via wire transfer.
