Principal Protection Fund XIII and ING Principal Protection Fund XIV, three
newly established series of ING Equity Trust (the "Funds"), upon all of the
terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Upon your acceptance, the
Agreement will be modified to give effect to the foregoing by adding the
above-mentioned Funds to AMENDED SCHEDULE A of the Agreement. The AMENDED

The AMENDED SCHEDULE A has also been updated by the removal of ING Growth

Very sincerely,
