| On January 14, 2014, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) entered into a |
| new, ten-year unsecured reciprocal loan agreement, effective January 14, 2014 with ING U.S., Inc. (“ING |

| agreement dated as of January 1, 2004 between the Company and ING U.S. that expired by its terms on |

| requirements of each party to the Agreement by permitting each party to extend financing to, and borrow |
| from, the other party. The Agreement provides that the maximum outstanding amount that the Company |
| may loan to ING U.S., or that ING U.S. may loan to the Company, may not exceed three percent (3%) of |
| the statutory admitted assets of the Company as of December 31 of the applicable preceding year. Interest |
| on any borrowing by the Company or ING U.S. under the Agreement will be charged at a per annum rate |
| which is based on the prevailing market rate for similar third-party borrowings or securities with a similar |
| credit quality and duration. The maximum term of any loan made under the Agreement shall be two |
| hundred seventy (270) days. |
| |
| The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING U.S. ING U.S., which plans to rebrand in |
| the future as Voya Financial, is a financial services organization that offers retirement, investment and |
| insurance products and services in the United States. ING U.S. is a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of |
