PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS



ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company
 
  Guaranteed Accumulation Account Prospectus – April 29, 2011 
 
 
Introduction 
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA) is a fixed interest option available during the accumulation phase of 
certain variable annuity contracts issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company, we, us, our). 
Read this prospectus carefully before investing in GAA and save it for future reference. 
 
General Description 
GAA offers investors the opportunity to earn specified guaranteed rates of interest for specified periods of time, 
called guaranteed terms. We generally offer several guaranteed terms at any one time for those considering investing 
in GAA. Each guaranteed term offers a guaranteed interest rate for investments that remain in GAA for the duration 
of the specific guaranteed term. The guaranteed term establishes both the length of time for which we agree to credit 
a guaranteed interest rate and how long your investment must remain in GAA in order to receive the guaranteed 
interest rate. 
 
We guarantee both principal and interest if, and only if, your investment remains invested for the full guaranteed 
term. Charges related to the contract, such as a maintenance fee or early withdrawal charge, may still apply even if 
you do not withdraw until the end of a guaranteed term. Investments taken out of GAA prior to the end of a 
guaranteed term may be subject to a market value adjustment, which may result in an investment gain or 
loss. See “Market Value Adjustment,” page 12. 
 
This prospectus will explain: 
·  Guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms; 
·  Contributions to GAA; 
·  Types of investments available, and how they are classified; 
·  How rates are offered; 
·  How there can be an investment risk, and how we calculate gain or loss; 
·  Contract charges that can affect your account value in GAA; 
·  Taking investments out of GAA; and 
·  How to reinvest or withdraw at maturity.

Summary     
 
GAA is a fixed interest option that may be available during the accumulation  Questions: Contacting the 
phase of your annuity contract. The following is a summary of certain facts  Company. To answer your 
about GAA.    questions, contact your sales 
      representative or write or call 
In General. Amounts that you invest in GAA will earn a guaranteed interest  our Home Office at: 
rate if left in GAA for a specified period of time (the guaranteed term). You   
must invest amounts in GAA for the full guaranteed term in order to receive  ING 
the quoted guaranteed interest rate. If you withdraw or transfer those amounts  USFS Customer Service 
before the end of the guaranteed term, we may apply a “market value  Defined Contribution 
adjustment,” which may be positive or negative.    Administration 
      P.O. Box 990063 
Deposit Periods. A deposit period is the time during which we offer a  Hartford, CT 06199-0063 
specific guaranteed interest rate if you deposit dollars for a specific  1-800-262-3862 
guaranteed term. For a particular guaranteed interest rate and guaranteed term   
to apply to your account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit   
period in which that rate and term are offered.     
 
Guaranteed Terms. A guaranteed term is the period of time account dollars   
must be left in GAA in order to earn the guaranteed interest rate specified for   
that guaranteed term. We may offer different guaranteed terms at different   
times. Check with your representative or the Company to learn the details   
about the guaranteed term(s) currently offered. We reserve the right to limit   
the number of guaranteed terms or the availability of certain guaranteed terms.   
In addition, under certain contracts, we reserve the right to discontinue   
offering GAA, or to limit the availability of GAA guaranteed term   
classifications.     
 
Some annuity contracts that offer GAA distinguish between short- and long-   
term classifications of GAA. Under those contracts, we make the following   
distinction:     
·  Short-term classification—three years or less; and   
·  Long-term classification—between three and ten years.   
 
Guaranteed Interest Rates. We guarantee different interest rates, depending   
upon when account dollars are invested in GAA. The interest rate we   
guarantee is an annual effective yield; that means that the rate reflects a full   
year’s interest. We credit interest at a rate that will provide the guaranteed   
annual effective yield over one year. The guaranteed interest rate(s) is   
guaranteed for that deposit period and for the length of the guaranteed term.   
 
The guaranteed interest rates we offer will always meet or exceed the   
minimum interest rates agreed to in the contract, if any. Not all contracts   
provide for minimum interest rates for the GAA. Apart from meeting the   
contractual minimum interest rates, if any, we can in no way guarantee any   
aspect of future offerings.     
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  3   

 



Interest Rate Lock. Certain contracts may provide a 45 day interest rate lock in connection with external 
transfers into GAA, which you must elect at the time you initiate the external transfer. Under this rate lock 
provision, if applicable, we will deposit external transfers to the deposit period offering the greater of (a) and (b) 
where:     
 
  a)  Is the guaranteed interest rate for the deposit period in effect at the time we receive the rate lock 
    election; and   
  b)  Is the guaranteed interest rate for the deposit period in effect at the time we receive an external 
    transfer from your prior provider.   
 
If applicable, this rate lock will be available to all external transfers received for 45 days from the date we receive 
a rate lock election. In the event we receive an external transfer after this 45 day time period, it will be deposited 
to the deposit period in effect at the time we receive the external transfer, and will earn the guaranteed interest rate 
for that guaranteed term. Only one rate lock may be in effect at one time per contract – once a rate lock has been 
elected, that rate lock will apply to all external transfers received during that 45 day period, and you may not elect 
to begin a new rate lock period during that 45 day period. 
 
Amounts subject to the rate lock will not be deposited until the external transfer has been received, and will not be 
credited interest until deposited. This could result in the deposit being credited interest for a shorter term than if a 
rate lock had not been elected. The cost of providing a rate lock may be a factor we consider when determining 
the guaranteed interest rate for a deposit period, which impacts the guaranteed interest rate for all investors in that 
guaranteed term.   
 
Fees and Other Deductions. We do not make deductions from amounts in GAA to cover mortality and expense 
risks. Rather, we consider these risks when determining the credited rate. The following other types of charges 
may be deducted from amounts held in, withdrawn or transferred from GAA: 
·  Market Value Adjustment (MVA). An MVA may be applied to amounts transferred or withdrawn prior to the 
  end of a guaranteed term, which reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period. The MVA may be 
  positive or negative, and therefore may increase or decrease the amount withdrawn to satisfy a transfer or 
  withdrawal request. See “Market Value Adjustment.” 
·  Tax Penalties and/or Tax Withholding. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to withholding for federal income 
  taxes, as well as a 10% penalty tax for amounts withdrawn prior to your having attained age 59½. See 
  “Taxation”; see also the “Tax Considerations” section of the contract prospectus. 
·  Early Withdrawal Charge. An early withdrawal charge, which is a deferred sales charge, may apply to 
  amounts withdrawn from the contract, in order to reimburse us for some of the sales and administrative 
  expenses associated with the contract. See “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” section of the contract 
  prospectus.   
·  Maintenance Fee. An annual maintenance fee of up to $50 may be deducted pro rata from all funding options 
  including GAA. See “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus. 
·  Transfer Fees. Under some contracts transfer fees of up to $10 per transfer may be deducted from amounts 
  held in or transferred from GAA during the accumulation phase. See “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” 
  section of the contract prospectus.   
·  Premium Taxes. We may deduct a charge for premium taxes of up to 4% from amounts in GAA. See 
  “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus. 
·  Front End Sales Charges. Under some contracts, we may deduct front end sales charges of up to 6%. See 
  “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus. 
 
Market Value Adjustment (MVA). If you withdraw or transfer all or part of your account value from GAA 
before the guaranteed term is complete, an MVA may apply. The MVA reflects the change in the value of the 
investment due to changes in interest rates since the date of deposit. The MVA may be positive or negative 
depending upon interest rate activity at the time of withdrawal or transfer. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  4 

 



Any MVA applied to a withdrawal or transfer from GAA will be calculated as an “aggregate MVA,” which is the 
sum of all MVAs applicable due to the withdrawal. See the sidebar on page 12 for an example of the calculation 
of the aggregate MVA. The following withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA only if it is positive: 
· Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and 
· Withdrawals due to the death of the participant (if paid within the first six months following death). For certain 
  contracts issued in the state of New York, this provision also applies in the event of disability, as defined in the 
  contract.   
 
All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, 
including:   
·  Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option; 
·  Payments due to the death of the participant, if paid more than six months following death (or disability, if 
  applicable); and   
·  Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (except for withdrawals at the end of a guaranteed 
  term or pursuant to the maturity value transfer provision - see “Maturity of a Guaranteed Term” and 
  “Maturity Value Transfer Provision”).   
 
Under certain contracts that guarantee a death benefit equal to the greater of the “adjusted purchase total” or the 
current account value (excluding loans), the calculation of the current account value will include the aggregate 
MVA only if it is positive, regardless of whether the death benefit is paid within six months following death. See 
the “Death Benefit” section of the contract prospectus. Under some of these contracts, an election to defer 
payment of the death benefit will result in the application of the aggregate MVA, whether positive or negative, 
when the beneficiary elects to begin distribution of the death benefit. 
 
See “Description of the Guaranteed Accumulation Account” and “Market Value Adjustment.” 
 
Maturity of a Guaranteed Term. On or before the end of a guaranteed term, the contract holder or you, if 
applicable, may instruct us to:   
· Transfer the matured amount to one or more new guaranteed terms available under the current deposit period; 
· Transfer the matured amount to other available investment options; or 
· Withdraw the matured amount.   
 
Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, maintenance fee, tax withholding, and tax 
penalties. See “Contract Charges”; see also the “Fees” and “Tax Considerations” sections of the contract 
prospectus. When a guaranteed term ends, if we have not received instructions, we will automatically reinvest the 
maturing investment into a guaranteed term available in the current deposit period. See “Maturity Value Transfer 
Provision.” For contracts that distinguish between short- and long-term classifications, we will generally transfer 
the maturing investment to the available deposit period for the guaranteed term having the shortest maturity within 
the same classification. For other contracts, we will generally transfer the maturing investment in the following 
manner based upon availability:   
· To a guaranteed term of the same duration, if available; 
· To a guaranteed term with the next shortest duration, if available; or 
· To a guaranteed term with the next longest duration. 
 
If you do not provide instructions concerning the maturing amount on or before the end of a guaranteed term, and 
this amount is automatically reinvested as noted above, the maturity value transfer provision will apply. 
 
Maturity Value Transfer Provision. If we automatically transfer the matured investment into the current deposit 
period, the contract holder or you, if applicable, may, for a limited time, transfer or withdraw all or a portion of 
the matured investment that was transferred without the application of an MVA. As described in “Fees and Other 
Deductions” above, other fees, including an early withdrawal charge and a maintenance fee, may be assessed on 
amounts withdrawn. See “Description of the Guaranteed Accumulation Account.” 
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  5 

 



Transfer of Account Dollars. Generally, account dollars invested in GAA may be transferred among guaranteed 
terms offered through GAA, and/or to other investment options offered through the contract. However: 
·  Transfers may not be made during the deposit period in which your account dollars are invested in GAA or 
  for 90 days after the close of that deposit period; and 
·  We may apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term. 
 
Transfers to other investment options offered through the contract may be subject to limits on frequent or 
disruptive transfers or limits imposed by the underlying funds. See the “Transfers” and “Investment Options” 
sections of your contract prospectus.   
 
Investments. Guaranteed interest rates credited during any guaranteed term do not necessarily relate to 
investment performance. Deposits received into GAA will generally be invested in federal, state and municipal 
obligations, corporate bonds, preferred stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate, certain other fixed income 
investments, and cash or cash equivalents. All of our general assets are available to meet guarantees under GAA. 
 
Amounts allocated to GAA are held in a nonunitized separate account established by the Company under 
Connecticut law. To the extent provided for in the contract, assets of the separate account are not chargeable with 
liabilities arising out of any other business that we conduct. See “Investments.” 
 
Notification of Maturity. We will notify the contract holder or you, if applicable, at least 18 calendar days prior 
to the maturity of a guaranteed term. We will include information relating to the current deposit period’s 
guaranteed interest rates and the available guaranteed terms. You may obtain information concerning available 
deposit periods, guaranteed interest rates, and guaranteed terms by telephone five business days prior to the 
maturity date (1-800-GAA-FUND or 1-800-422-3863). See “Description of the Guaranteed Accumulation 
Account—General” and “Maturity of a Guaranteed Term.” 
 
 
Description of the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 
 
 
General   
 
GAA offers guaranteed interest rates for specific guaranteed terms. For a particular guaranteed interest rate and 
guaranteed term to apply to your account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit period during which 
that rate and term are offered. Each deposit period may offer more than one guaranteed term. Guaranteed terms 
may be classified according to length of time to maturity, and each deposit period may offer various guaranteed 
terms within these classifications.   
 
Any MVA applied to a withdrawal or transfer from GAA will be calculated as an “aggregate MVA,” which is the 
sum of all MVAs applicable due to the withdrawal. See the sidebar on page 12 for an example of the calculation 
of the aggregate MVA. The following withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA only if it is positive: 
·  Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and 
·  Withdrawals due to the death of the participant (if paid within the first six months following death). For 
  certain contracts issued in the state of New York, this provision also applies in the event of disability, as 
  defined in the contract.   
 
All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, 
including:   
·  Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option; 
·  Payments due to the death of the participant, if paid more than six months following death (or disability, if 
  applicable); and   
·  Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (except for withdrawals at the end of a guaranteed 
  term or pursuant to the maturity value transfer provision, see “Maturity of a Guaranteed Term” and 
  “Maturity Value Transfer Provision”).   
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  6 

 



We maintain a toll-free telephone number for those wishing to obtain information concerning available deposit 
periods, guaranteed interest rates, and guaranteed terms. The telephone number is 1-800-GAA-FUND (1-800-422- 
3863). At least 18 calendar days before a guaranteed term matures, we will notify the contract holder or you, if 
applicable, of the upcoming deposit period dates and the current guaranteed interest rates, guaranteed terms and 
projected matured guaranteed term values.   
 
Contributions to GAA   
 
The contract holder or you, if applicable, may invest in the guaranteed terms available in the current deposit 
period by allocating new purchase payments to GAA or by transferring a sum from other funding options 
available under the contract or from other guaranteed terms. 
 
Though we may require a minimum payment(s) to a contract, we do not require a minimum investment for a 
guaranteed term. Refer to the contract prospectus. We reserve the right to establish a minimum amount for 
transfers from other funding options.   
 
Investments may not be transferred from a guaranteed term during the deposit period in which the investment is 
applied nor during the first 90 days after the close of the deposit period. This restriction does not apply to amounts 
transferred or withdrawn under the maturity value transfer provision. See “Maturity Value Transfer Provision.” 
 
Deposit Period   
 
The deposit period is the period of time during which the contract holder or you, if applicable, may direct 
investments to a particular guaranteed term(s) and receive a stipulated guaranteed interest rate(s). Each deposit 
period may be a month, a calendar quarter, or any other period of time we specify. 
 
Guaranteed Terms   
 
A guaranteed term is the time we specify during which we credit the guaranteed interest rate. Generally, we will 
offer at least one guaranteed term of three years or less and one guaranteed term of more than three years in any 
deposit period. However, under certain contracts we reserve the right to limit the guaranteed terms or guaranteed 
term classifications offered, as well as the right to discontinue offering GAA. We offer guaranteed terms at our 
discretion for various periods ranging from one to ten years. 
 
Guaranteed Term Classifications   
 
Some contracts distinguish between long-term and short-term guaranteed term classifications. The following are 
the guaranteed term classifications:   
·  Short-term—All guaranteed terms of three years or less; and 
·  Long-term—All guaranteed terms of between three and ten years. 
 
During each deposit period, we may offer more than one guaranteed term within each guaranteed term 
classification. The contract holder or you, if applicable, may allocate investments to guaranteed terms within one 
or both guaranteed term classifications during a deposit period. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  7 

 



Guaranteed Interest Rates   
 
Guaranteed interest rates are the rates that we guarantee will be credited on amounts applied during a deposit 
period for a specific guaranteed term. Guaranteed interest rates are annual effective yields, reflecting a full year’s 
interest. We credit interest at a rate that will provide the guaranteed annual effective yield over one year. 
Guaranteed interest rates are credited according to the length of the guaranteed term as follows: 
 
Guaranteed Terms of One Year or Less: The guaranteed interest rate is credited from the date of deposit to the 
last day of the guaranteed term.   
 
Guaranteed Terms of Greater than One Year: Except for certain contracts issued in the state of New York, 
several different guaranteed interest rates may be applicable during a guaranteed term of more than one year. The 
initial guaranteed interest rate is credited from the date of deposit to the end of a specified period within the 
guaranteed term. We may credit several different guaranteed interest rates for subsequent specific periods of time 
within the guaranteed term. For example, for a five-year guaranteed term we may guarantee 5% for the first year, 
4.75% for the next two years, and 4.5% for the remaining two years. 
 
We will not guarantee or credit a guaranteed interest rate below the minimum rate specified in the contract for the 
GAA, if any. Additionally, we will not credit interest at a rate above the guaranteed interest rate we announce 
prior to the start of a deposit period. Not all contracts provide for minimum interest rates for the GAA. 
Our guaranteed interest rates are influenced by, but do not necessarily correspond to, interest rates available on 
fixed income investments we may buy using deposits directed to GAA. See “Investments.” We consider other 
factors when determining guaranteed interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions 
and administrative expenses borne by the Company, general economic trends, competitive factors, and whether an 
interest rate lock is being offered for that guaranteed term under certain contracts. We make the final 
determination regarding guaranteed interest rates. We cannot predict the level of future guaranteed 
interest rates.   
 
Interest Rate Lock   
 
Certain contracts may provide a 45 day interest rate lock in connection with external transfers into GAA, which 
you must elect at the time you initiate the external transfer. Under this rate lock provision, if applicable, we will 
deposit external transfers to the deposit period offering the greater of (a) and (b) where: 
 
a)  Is the guaranteed interest rate for the deposit period in effect at the time we receive the rate lock 
  election; and   
b)  Is the guaranteed interest rate for the deposit period in effect at the time we receive an external 
  transfer from your prior provider.   
 
If applicable, this rate lock will be available to all external transfers received for 45 days from the date we receive 
a rate lock election. In the event we receive an external transfer after this 45 day time period, it will be deposited 
to the deposit period in effect at the time we receive the external transfer, and will earn the guaranteed interest rate 
for that guaranteed term. Only one rate lock may be in effect at one time per contract – once a rate lock has been 
elected, that rate lock will apply to all external transfers received during that 45 day period, and you may not elect 
to begin a new rate lock period during that 45 day period. 
 
Amounts subject to the rate lock will not be deposited until the external transfer has been received, and will not be 
credited interest until deposited. This could result in the deposit being credited interest for a shorter term than if a 
rate lock had not been elected. The cost of providing a rate lock may be a factor we consider when determining 
the guaranteed interest rate for a deposit period, which impacts the guaranteed interest rate for all investors in that 
guaranteed term.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  8 

 



Maturity of a Guaranteed Term     
 
At least 18 calendar days prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term, we will   
notify the contract holder or you, if applicable, of the upcoming deposit   
period, the projected value of the amount maturing at the end of the   
guaranteed term, and the guaranteed interest rate(s) and guaranteed term(s)   
available for the current deposit period.     
 
When a guaranteed term matures, the amounts in any maturing guaranteed   
term may be:     
·  Transferred to one or more new guaranteed terms available under the   
  current deposit period;     
·  Transferred to other available investment options; or   
·  Withdrawn from the contract.     
 
We do not apply an MVA to amounts transferred or surrendered from a   
guaranteed term on the date the guaranteed term matures. Amounts   
withdrawn, however, may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, a   
maintenance fee, taxation, and tax penalties. If we have not received direction   
from the contract holder or you, if applicable, by the maturity date of a   
guaranteed term, we will automatically transfer the matured value to one of   
the following:     
 
·  For contracts distinguishing between short- and long-term classifications,   
  we will generally transfer the amount maturing to the available deposit   
  period for the guaranteed term having the shortest maturity within the   
  same classification, though it may be different than the maturing term; or   
·  For contracts that do not distinguish between short- and long-term   
  classifications, we will generally transfer the maturing amount as   
  follows:     
  > To a guaranteed term of the same duration, if available;   
  > To a guaranteed term with the next shortest duration, if available; or   
  > To a guaranteed term with the next longest duration.   
 
The contract holder or you, if applicable, will receive a confirmation   
statement, plus information on the new guaranteed interest rate(s) and   
guaranteed terms.

      day on which the

GAA the amount that was reinvested without an MVA. An early withdrawal   
charge and maintenance fee may apply to withdrawals. If the full amount   
reinvested is transferred or withdrawn, we will include interest credited to   
the date of the transfer or withdrawal. This provision is only available until   
the last business day of the month following the maturity date of the prior   
guaranteed term. This provision only applies to the first transfer or   
withdrawal request received from the contract holder or you, if applicable,   
with respect to a particular matured guaranteed term value, regardless of the   
amount involved in the transaction.     
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  9   

 



Transfers   
 
We allow the contract holder or you, if applicable, to transfer all or a portion of your account value to GAA or to 
other investment options under the contract. We do not allow transfers from any guaranteed term to any other 
guaranteed term or investment option during the deposit period for that guaranteed term or for 90 days following 
the close of that deposit period, except for amounts transferred under the maturity value transfer provision. 
 
We do not apply an MVA to the value transferred upon maturity of a guaranteed term nor for values transferred 
under the maturity value transfer provision. We do not count either of these types of transfers as one of the 12 free 
transfers allowed per calendar year by those contracts allowing only 12 free transfers. Transfers to other 
investment options through the contract may be subject to limits on frequent or disruptive transfers or limits 
imposed by the underlying funds. See the “Transfers” and “Investment Options” sections of your contract 
prospectus.   
 
When the contract holder or you, if applicable, requests the transfer of a specific dollar amount, we account for 
any applicable MVA in determining the amount to be withdrawn from a guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. 
Therefore, the amount we actually withdraw from the guaranteed term(s) may be more or less than the requested 
dollar amount. See “Appendix I” for an example. For more information on transfers, see the contract prospectus. 
 
Transfers From GAA   
 
For contracts that do not distinguish between short- and long-term classifications, the contract holder or you, if 
applicable, may choose the guaranteed term from which funds will first be withdrawn. If there is more than one 
guaranteed term of the same duration, we will withdraw funds starting from the oldest guaranteed term that has 
not reached maturity.   
 
If we do not receive direction, we will withdraw funds pro rata from each guaranteed term in which you are 
invested. If there is more than one guaranteed term of the same duration, we will withdraw funds starting from the 
oldest guaranteed term that has not reached maturity.   
 
For contracts that distinguish between short- and long-term classifications, the contract holder or you, if 
applicable, may choose the guaranteed term classification from which funds will be first withdrawn. We will 
withdraw funds starting from the oldest guaranteed term that has not reached maturity within the classification 
chosen.   
 
If we do not receive direction, we will withdraw funds pro rata from the guaranteed term classifications, starting 
with the oldest guaranteed term that has not reached maturity, and any other investment options. 
 
We will apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term. See “Market Value Adjustment.” 
 
Transfers Between Guaranteed Term Classifications 
(For contracts that distinguish between short-term and long-term classifications only) 
 
The contract holder or you, if applicable, may transfer amounts from short-term guaranteed terms to available 
long-term guaranteed terms of the current deposit period, or from long-term guaranteed terms to available short- 
term guaranteed terms of the current deposit period.   
 
For example, funds may be transferred from a three-year guaranteed term (any time after 90 days from the close 
of the deposit period applicable to that three-year guaranteed term) to the open deposit period of a seven-year 
guaranteed term.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  10 

 



Funds will be first transferred from the oldest deposit period for which the guaranteed term has not reached 
maturity and we will assess an MVA on the transferred amount. These transfers are counted toward the 12 free 
transfers allowed per calendar year by those contracts allowing only 12 free transfers. 
 
We do not permit the transfer of value from one guaranteed term prior to its maturity to another guaranteed term 
within the same classification. For example, we do not permit transfers from one-year to three-year, one-year to 
one-year, five-year to seven-year, or ten-year to seven-year guaranteed terms. 
 
 
Withdrawals   
 
The contract allows for full or partial withdrawals from GAA at any time during the accumulation phase. To make 
a full or partial withdrawal, a request form (available from us) must be properly completed and submitted to our 
Home Office (or other designated office as provided in the contract). 
 
Partial withdrawals are made pro rata from funding options unless the contract holder or you, if applicable, 
request otherwise. For contracts that do not distinguish between short- and long-term classifications, each 
guaranteed term is considered a separate funding option for the purpose of a partial withdrawal. 
 
The contract holder or you, if applicable, may choose the guaranteed term from which funds will be withdrawn. If 
there is more than one guaranteed term of the same duration, we will withdraw funds starting from the oldest 
guaranteed term that has not reached maturity. If no guaranteed term is elected, we will withdraw funds pro rata 
from each guaranteed term in which you are invested. 
 
For contracts distinguishing between short- and long-term classifications, each guaranteed term classification is 
considered a separate funding option for the purpose of a partial withdrawal. The contract holder or you, if 
applicable, may elect to take a partial withdrawal from either guaranteed term classification. We will first 
withdraw funds from the oldest guaranteed term that has not reached maturity within the chosen classification. If 
no guaranteed term classification is elected, we will withdraw funds pro rata from each classification (starting 
with the oldest guaranteed term that has not reached maturity) and other funding options. 
 
We may apply an MVA to withdrawals made prior to the end of a guaranteed term, except for withdrawals made 
under the maturity value transfer provision. See “Market Value Adjustment.” We may deduct an early withdrawal 
charge and a maintenance fee depending upon the terms of the contract. The early withdrawal charge is a deferred 
sales charge that may be deducted upon withdrawal to reimburse us for some of the sales and administrative 
expenses associated with the contract. A maintenance fee up to $50 may be deducted pro rata from each of the 
funding options, including GAA. Refer to the contract prospectus for a description of these fees. When a request 
for a partial withdrawal of a specific dollar amount is made, we will include the MVA in determining the amount 
to be withdrawn from the guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. Therefore, the amount we actually take from 
the guaranteed term(s) may be more or less than the dollar amount requested. See “Appendix I” for an example. 
 
Deferral of Payments   
 
Under certain emergency conditions, we may defer payment of a GAA withdrawal for up to six months. Refer to 
the contract prospectus for more details.   
 
Reinvestment Privilege   
 
If allowed by the contract, the contract holder or you, if applicable, may elect to reinvest all or a portion of a full 
withdrawal during the 30 days following such a withdrawal. We must receive amounts for reinvestment within 60 
days of the withdrawal.   
 
We will apply reinvested amounts to the current deposit period. This means that the guaranteed annual interest 
rate and guaranteed terms available on the date of reinvestment will apply. Amounts are reinvested in the 
guaranteed term classifications, where applicable, in the same proportion as prior to the full withdrawal. Any 
negative MVA we applied to a withdrawal will not be refunded, and any taxes that were withheld may also not be 
refunded. Refer to the contract prospectus for further details.

  Should two or more consecutive guaranteed terms have the same guaranteed 
  interest rate and mature on the same date, we will calculate an MVA

  any withdrawal or transfer from either guaranteed term prior to their 
  maturity. 
 
  Under some contracts, election of a systematic distribution option, as 
  described in the contract prospectus, will not result in an MVA being applied 
  to amounts withdrawn from GAA.

  six months following death. See the “Death Benefit” section of the contract 
  prospectus. Under some of these contracts, an election to defer payment of 
  the death benefit will result in the application of the aggregate MVA, 
  whether positive or negative, when the beneficiary elects to begin 
  distribution of the death benefit. 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11    12 

 



Calculation of the MVA   
 
There are two methods for calculating the MVA, and the method that applies to you will be set forth in your contact. 
You should check your contract to see which method of calculating the MVA applies to you. 
 
Method One. For contracts that use Method One to calculate the MVA, the amount of the MVA depends on the 
relationship between:   
· The average corporate bond yield (US Treasury Rate plus spread over Treasury) of the month of deposit for the 
corresponding guaranteed term; and   
· The current corporate bond yield (US Treasury Rate plus spread over Treasury) at the time of withdrawal for a 
period equal to the remainder of the guaranteed term. 
 
If the current corporate bond yield at the time of withdrawal is less than the average corporate bond yield of the 
month of deposit, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term to satisfy a transfer or 
withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current corporate bond yield at the time of withdrawal is 
greater than the average corporate bond yield of the month of deposit, the MVA will increase the amount withdrawn 
from a guaranteed term (the MVA will be negative).   
 
Method Two. For contracts that do not use Method One to calculate the MVA, the amount of the MVA depends on 
the relationship between:   
· The deposit period yield of U.S. Treasury Notes that will mature in the last quarter of the guaranteed term; and 
· The current yield of such U.S. Treasury Notes at the time of withdrawal. 
 
If the current yield is less than the deposit period yield, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from a 
guaranteed term to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current yield is greater 
than the deposit period yield, the MVA will increase the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term (the MVA will 
be negative).   
 
Deposit Period Yield. We determine the deposit period yield used in the MVA calculation by considering 
interest rates prevailing during the deposit period of the guaranteed term from which the transfer or withdrawal 
will be made. First, we identify the Treasury Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term. 
Then, we determine their yield-to-maturity percentages for the last business day of each week in the deposit 
period. We then average the resulting percentages to determine the deposit period yield. Treasury Note 
information may be found each business day in publications such as the Wall Street Journal which publishes the 
yield-to-maturity percentages for all Treasury Notes as of the preceding business day. 
 
Current Yield. We use the same Treasury Notes identified for the deposit period yield to determine the 
current yield—Treasury Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term. However, we use the 
yield-to-maturity percentages for the last business day of the week preceding the withdrawal and average those 
percentages to get the current yield.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.GAA-11  13 

 



MVA Formulas   
 
Method One. The mathematical formula used to determine the MVA using Method One is: 
 
x   
{ (1 (1 + + b a + + j) i) } 365   
 
 
Where:   
a is the average of the US Treasury Rate in effect on the first four Fridays of the month of deposit for the 
corresponding guaranteed term;   
b is the US Treasury Rate in effect on the withdrawal date (based on the previous Friday) for a period equal to the 
remainder of the guaranteed term;   
i is the average of the spread over Treasury on the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (if unavailable a 
similar service will be utilized) in effect on the first four Fridays of the month of deposit for the corresponding 
guaranteed term;   
j is the spread over Treasury on the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (if unavailable a similar service 
will be utilized) in effect on the withdrawal date (based on the previous Friday) for a period equal to the remainder 
of the guaranteed term; and   
x is the number of days remaining, (computed from Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term. 
 
Method Two. The mathematical formula used to determine the MVA using Method Two is: 
 
x   
{ (1 (1 + + j) i) }365   
 
 
where i is the deposit period yield; j is the current yield; and x is the number of days remaining (computed from 
Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term. 
 
For examples of how we calculate MVA, refer to Appendix I. 
 
We make an adjustment in the formula of the MVA to reflect the period of time remaining in the guaranteed term 
from the Wednesday of the week of a withdrawal.

Contract Charges   
 
Certain charges may be deducted directly or indirectly from the funding options available under the contract, 
including GAA.   
 
The contract may have a maintenance fee of up to $50 that we will deduct, on an annual basis, pro rata from all 
funding options including GAA. We may also deduct a maintenance fee upon full withdrawal of a contract. 
 
The contract may have an early withdrawal charge that we will deduct, if applicable, upon a full or partial 
withdrawal from the contract. If the withdrawal occurs prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term, both the early 
withdrawal charge and an MVA may be assessed.   
 
We do not deduct mortality and expense risk charges and other asset-based charges that may apply to variable 
funding options from GAA. These charges are only applicable to the variable funding options. 
 
We may deduct a charge for premium taxes of up to 4% from amounts in GAA, and, under some contracts, front 
end sales charges of up to 6%.   
 
Under certain contracts, we reserve the right to charge $10 for each transfer of accumulated value between 
available investment options over 12.   
 
Refer to the contract prospectus for further details on contract charges. 
 
 
Other Topics   
 
Anti-Money Laundering   
 
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have 
adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current 
anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with 
certain procedures and standards that will allow us to verify the identity of the sponsoring organization and that 
contributions and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources. 
 
Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require customers, and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient 
evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing 
information databases maintained internally or by outside firms. 
 
We may also refuse to accept certain forms of payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, cashier's checks, 
bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer's checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of payments or 
loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000.00, for example). In addition, we may require information 
as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of 
such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may 
result in us returning the payment to you.   
 
Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain 
circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate 
regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to 
government regulators.   
 
Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable 
laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

The Company   
 
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company, we, us, our) is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of 
Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.   
 
We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and 
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial institution active in the fields 
of insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger, our operations include the business of Aetna 
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an 
Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna 
Life Insurance and Annuity Company.   
 
Our principal executive offices are located at:   
One Orange Way
Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774
Income Phase   
 
GAA may not be used as a funding option during the income phase. Amounts invested in guaranteed terms must 
be transferred to one or more of the options available to fund income payments before income payments can 
begin.   
 
An aggregate MVA, as previously described, may be applied to amounts transferred to fund income payments 
before the end of a guaranteed term. Amounts used to fund lifetime income payments will only receive an 
aggregate MVA to the extent it is positive; however amounts transferred to fund a nonlifetime income payment 
option may be subject to either a positive or negative aggregate MVA. 
 
Refer to the contract prospectus for a further discussion of the income phase. 
 
Contract Loans   
(403(b) and some 457 and 401(a) Plans Only)   
 
The contract holder or you, if applicable, may not take a loan from amounts held in GAA, but we include amounts 
invested in GAA when calculating the account value that determines the amount available for a loan. Amounts 
held in GAA must be transferred to a funding option available for loans in order to be received as a loan. Refer to 
the contract prospectus for more information on contract loans. We will apply an MVA to amounts transferred 
from guaranteed terms due to a loan request.   
 
Investments   
 
Amounts applied to GAA will be deposited in a nonunitized separate account established under Connecticut law. 
 
A nonunitized separate account is a separate account in which neither the contract holder nor you participate in the 
performance of the assets through unit values or any other interest. Contract holders and participants allocating 
funds to the nonunitized separate account do not receive a unit value of ownership of assets accounted for in this 
separate account. The risk of investment gain or loss is borne entirely by the Company. All Company obligations 
due to allocations to the nonunitized separate account are contractual guarantees of the Company and are 
accounted for in the separate account. All of the general assets of the Company are available to meet our 
contractual guarantees. To the extent provided for in the applicable contract, the assets of the nonunitized separate 
account are not chargeable with liabilities resulting from any other business of the Company. Income, gains and 
losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to other 
income, gains or losses of the Company.

Types of Investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities including: 
·  Securities issued by the United States Government; 
·  Issues of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities (these issues may or may not be guaranteed by the 
  United States Government);   
·  Debt securities that have an investment grade, at the time of purchase, within the four highest grades assigned 
  by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (AAA, AA, A or 
  BBB) or any other nationally recognized rating service; 
·  Other debt instruments, including those issued or guaranteed by banks or bank holding companies, and of 
  corporations, which although not rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, or other nationally recognized rating 
  services, are deemed by the Company’s management to have an investment quality comparable to securities 
  that may be purchased as stated above; or   
·  Commercial paper, cash or cash equivalents, and other short-term investments having a maturity of less than 
  one year that are considered by the Company’s management to have investment quality comparable to 
  securities, which may be purchased as stated above. 
 
We may invest in futures and options. We purchase financial futures, related options and options on securities 
solely for non-speculative hedging purposes. Should securities prices be expected to decline, we may sell a futures 
contract or purchase a put option on futures or securities to protect the value of securities held in or to be sold for 
the nonunitized separate account. Similarly, if securities prices are expected to rise, we may purchase a futures 
contract or a call option against anticipated positive cash flow or may purchase options on securities. 
 
We are not obligated to invest the assets attributable to the contracts according to any particular strategy, 
except as required by Connecticut and other state insurance laws. The guaranteed interest rates established 
by the Company may not necessarily relate to the performance of the nonunitized separate account.

        Appendix I   
 
      Examples of Market Value Adjustment Calculations 
 
The following are examples of market value adjustment ("MVA") calculations using several hypothetical 
yields, applicable to contracts that use Method One to calculate the MVA. These examples do not include the 
effect of any early withdrawal charge or other fees that may be assessed under the contract upon withdrawal. 
 
EXAMPLE I           
a is the average of the US Treasury Rate in effect on the first four Fridays of the month of deposit for the 
corresponding guaranteed term;       
b is the US Treasury Rate in effect on the withdrawal date (based on the previous Friday) for a period equal to the 
remainder of the guaranteed term;       
i is the average of the spread over Treasury on the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (if unavailable a 
similar service will be utilized) in effect on the first four Fridays of the month of deposit for the corresponding 
guaranteed term;         
j is the spread over Treasury on the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (if unavailable a similar service 
will be utilized) in effect on the withdrawal date (based on the previous Friday) for a period equal to the remainder 
of the guaranteed term; and         
x is the number of days remaining, (computed from Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term.

Appendix II
 
  Examples of Market Value Adjustment at Various Yields 
 
The following hypothetical examples show the market value adjustment (“MVA”) at time of withdrawal for various 
times remaining in the guaranteed term, based on:         
·  Method One, which uses the current and average corporate bond yields (US Treasury Rate plus spread over 
  Treasury) in the MVA calculations; and           
·  Method Two, which uses the current and deposit period yields in the MVA calculations,     
 
Table A illustrates the application of the market value adjustment based on an average corporate bond yield or 
deposit period yield of the month of deposit of 6%; Table B illustrates the application of the market value 
adjustment based on an average corporate bond yield or deposit period yield of the month of deposit of 5%. The 
market value adjustment will have either a positive or negative influence on the amount withdrawn from or 
remaining in a guaranteed term. Also, the amount of the market value adjustment generally decreases as the end of 
the guaranteed term approaches.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution 
 
Not Applicable 
 
Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers 
 
Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes (“CGS”) provides that a corporation may 
provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as 
permitted by Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to 
Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of 
CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. 
These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 
1997 shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides 
otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents against “liability” (defined 
as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed 
with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a 
proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking 
indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has 
determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33- 
775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more 
disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the 
shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the 
corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of 
directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall 
indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against 
reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party 
because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to 
Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with 
respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the 
basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited 
to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to 
which the individual was named a party. 
 
A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a 
director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, ING America 
Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies 
issued by an international insurer. The policies cover ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and 
any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling financial interest 
of 50% or more. These policies include either or both the principal underwriter, the depositor 
and any/all assets under the care, custody and control of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. 
and/or its subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and 
omissions/professional liability, employment practices liability and fidelity/crime (a.k.a. 
"Financial Institutional Bond"). 

 



Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement executed 
as of November 28, 2000 provides that ING Financial Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain 
persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such 
person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he 
was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as 
he acted in good faith on behalf of ING Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably 
believed to be within the scope of his authority. An additional condition requires that no person 
shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or expense was incurred by reason of his 
gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity provision is authorized by and is 
consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows, pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation 
S-K:       
 
  (a) Rule 415 offerings: 
 
  (1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the registered securities are 
      being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: 
 
      (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities 
        Act of 1933; 
 
      (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective 
        date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective 
        amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a 
        fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration 
        statement; and 
 
      (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of 
        distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any 
        material changes to such information in the registration statement. 
 
  (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 
      1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new 
      registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering 
      of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering 
      thereof. 

 



  (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the 
    securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the 
    offering. 
 
  (4)  Not Applicable 
 
  (5)(i)  Not Applicable 
 
  (5)(ii)  That for, the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to 
    any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a 
    registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements 
    relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A 
    shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the 
    date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement 
    made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration 
    statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by 
    reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the 
    registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior 
    to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the 
    registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or 
    made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. 
 
  (6)  That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the 
    Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the 
    securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of 
    securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, 
    regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the 
    purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any 
    of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to 
    the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such

  be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to 
  the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the 
  opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against 
  public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that 
  a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the 
  registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 
  registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such 
  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 
  the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by 
  controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether 
  such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be 
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the 
“principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money 
and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose 
your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority. 
 
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you 
have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. “Important 
Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities. 
 
Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary 
public. 
 
You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of 
Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the 
revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are 
located. 
 
You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you 
are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting 
improperly. 
 
Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” 
to do this. 
 
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, 
Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State 
Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us. 
 
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of 
your own choosing to explain it to you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT: 
 
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship 
is created between you and the principal. This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities 
that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must: 
 
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the 
principal’s best interest; 
 
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal’s best interest; 
 
(3) keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless 
otherwise permitted by law; 
 
(4) keep a record of all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and 
 
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing 
the principal’s name and signing your own name as “agent” in either of the following manner: 
(Principal’s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature as Agent for (Principal’s 
Name). 
 
You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or 
anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of 
Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that 
authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such 
instructions, in the principal’s best interest.; You may resign by giving written notice to the
