Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Agency Agreement dated November 30, 2000, as amended,
between the Funds (as defined in the Agreement) and DST Systems, Inc. (the
"Agreement"), we hereby notify you of our intention to retain you as Transfer
Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent to render such services to ING Principal
Protection Fund V and ING Real Estate Fund, each a newly established series of
ING Equity Trust (collectively, the "New Funds"), upon all of the terms and
conditions set forth in the Agreement. Upon your acceptance, the Agreement has
been modified to give effect to the foregoing by adding "ING Principal
Protection Fund V" and "ING Real Estate Fund" to Exhibit A of the Agreement. In
addition, pursuant to the recent merger, ING Asia-Pacific Equity Fund has been
deleted from the Amended and Restated Exhibit A.
Exhibit A has also been amended and restated to reflect the corporate
reorganization of certain of the Funds (the "Reorganized Funds") under ING
Equity Trust, ING Funds Trust or ING Mutual Funds, with no other change in the
Funds for which DST Systems, Inc. provides services under the Agreement. The
Amended and Restated Exhibit A is attached hereto.
Please signify your acceptance to act as Transfer Agent and Dividend
Disbursing Agent under the Agreement with respect to the New Funds, and the
Reorganized Funds under their new parent entities, each as the effective date of
the initial registration of each respective Fund, by signing below.
Very sincerely,
