and all uses of the Group Trademarks by ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries, including inspection of any and all materials on which the Group Trademarks are displayed in the possession or control of ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries. Any noncompliance with

corporation, and it and its subsidiaries are currently using trademarks including the “ING” name, ING Lion and associated trademarks of ING Groep N.V. under license.” 

(f) Change of Name. 
 (i) Timely during the Transition Period, ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries shall file before the relevant Governmental Authority the necessary documents so as to amend or terminate any registration or
certificate of assumed name, fictitious name or d/b/a filings containing the name “ING” so as to cause such assumed name, fictitious name or d/b/a filings to be changed to eliminate the name “ING” therefrom. 

(ii) ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries agree that after the Closing Date neither ING U.S. nor any of its Subsidiaries will expressly, or
willingly by implication, do business as or represent themselves as Group or any of the Group’s other Affiliates, and the personnel of ING U.S. or its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall have no authority to, as of the Closing Date, hold
themselves out as officers, employees or agents of Group. 

  
 7 








 (iii) ING U.S. shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to purport to, or represent

activities or enters into a market or jurisdiction (the “Entering Party”) where the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries is already commercially active (the “Existing Party”), the Entering Party agrees (i) to
evaluate the likelihood of customer confusion or brand dilution posed by such proposed Trademarks, Visual Identity in such market or jurisdiction and (ii) to take all necessary steps to distinguish itself and its branding from the Existing
Party and to ensure that it is not confusingly similar with branding of the Existing Party in the view of the Existing Party’s customers. 
 (b) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the existing activities of the businesses of ING U.S. and Group or its Subsidiaries do not create any consumer confusion and each Party can continue to operate
their respective businesses as such businesses were operated prior to Closing, provided that, each Party implements appropriate source or business identifiers and/or disclaimers on its products, advertisements or other materials to make clear to a
third party which Party is providing a particular product or service. 
 (c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that ING
U.S.’s Visual Identity as shared in writing with Mariken Tannemaat (Group), Chris Kersbergen (ING Verzekeringen) and Ann Glover (ING U.S.) on or about November 1, 2012 and Nanne Bos on February 14, 2013 is not confusingly similar to
Group’s Visual Identity. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 2.4 shall limit the right of Group
or its Subsidiaries (other than ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries) to use the color orange, the name “ING”, the “ING Lion” logo, or other elements of its worldwide corporate Visual Identity in any jurisdiction, at any time.

 Section 2.5 Exceptions. 
 (a) During the Transition Period, ING U.S. may continue to sublicense the Group Trademarks to its agents (including registered representatives, third party administrators, reinsurers and outsourcing
firms), in the ordinary course of business or for the sponsorship of events in the Territory (e.g., the New York City Marathon), solely for the benefit of ING U.S. to conduct its business, consistent with past practice.

(each an “ING U.S. Sale”). Group acknowledges and agrees that if ING U.S. or one of its Subsidiaries requests that Group license the Group Trademarks to a third party in connection with an ING U.S. Sale (“Third Party
Acquirer”), Group shall enter into a license agreement with Third Party Acquirer so long as such Third Party Acquirer agrees to enter into a transitional trademark license agreement directly with Group that includes all of the material
terms and conditions in Group’s “standard form” transitional trademark licenses, provided, however, that Group shall not be obligated to enter into any such license agreement if Group reasonably expects that the license will have a
material adverse effect on the ING brand or reputation.

omissions of any sublicensee that would, if such sublicensee was a Party hereto, constitute a breach of this Agreement.

One or more licenses or sublicenses granted pursuant to Section 2.3 or this Section 2.5 may be terminated by Group, upon written notice to ING U.S., for material violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 2.3, Section 2.4
or this Section 2.5, which is not cured within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt by ING U.S. of written notice from Group.

for ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries to manage and direct the use of, and content on the websites associated with, the ING U.S. Domain Names. For a period of twelve (12) months after the end of the Transition Period (the “Redirect
Period”), Group or one of its Subsidiaries shall cause the Redirected Domain Names to be redirected to a URL designated by ING U.S. Upon the expiration of the Redirect Period, Group shall, for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter,
cause the Redirected Domain Names to be directed to a webpage in a form reasonably acceptable to ING U.S. and Group that will be developed and maintained by Group and that will allow Internet end users arriving at the webpage to click a link to be

such ING Abandoned Trademark; provided, however, that Group reserves the right to use descriptive or generic elements of the ING Abandoned Trademarks that it would otherwise be entitled to use under applicable trademark law.

 ARTICLE VI 
 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Section 6.1 Management Intervention. Upon one Party’s written request to the other regarding a potential material
dispute under this Agreement, senior executives of both Parties or their designees shall promptly meet (telephonically or in person) to attempt to resolve such dispute. 
 Section 6.2 Arbitration. 
 (a) The Parties agree to act
with the utmost good faith. 
 (b) Any dispute regarding this Agreement that was not able to be resolved under Section 6.1,
promptly, but in any case within thirty (30) days after either Party’s initial request, shall be submitted to arbitration and arbitrated and finally resolved according to the following rules of arbitration: 

  
 14 









 (i) The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “Rules”) except as modified herein. 
 (ii) The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. 
 (iii) The arbitrators
shall base their decision on the terms of this Agreement and apply the law, customs, and practices applicable to intellectual property law. The Party that initiates arbitration has the burden of proof of proving its case by a preponderance of the
evidence. 
 (iv) There shall be three arbitrators each of whom shall be (i) a lawyer admitted to practice and in good
standing with at least 10 years legal experience in intellectual property law; (ii) independent of the Parties and (iii) disinterested in the outcome of the dispute. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator within 30 Business Days of
respondent’s receipt of claimant’s demand for arbitration. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator to serve as Chair of the tribunal within 30 Business Days of the selection of the second arbitrator. If any
arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limits specified herein, such appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Rules upon the written request of either party within 15 Business Days of such request. The hearing shall be
held no later than 120 Business Days following the appointment of the third arbitrator. 
 (v) The arbitral tribunal shall permit
prehearing discovery that is relevant to the subject matter of the dispute taking into account the parties’ desire that the arbitration be conducted expeditiously and cost effectively. All discovery shall be completed within 60 days or within
the period of time determined by the tribunal. 
 (vi) The tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to
direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. For the purpose
of any provisional relief contemplated hereunder, the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts. Each party unconditionally and irrevocably waives any objections which they may have now or in the future to the
jurisdiction of the New York Courts including objections by reason of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum. 
 (vii) The award shall be in writing, shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based, shall be final and binding and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties
regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. 
 (viii) The parties will bear equally all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses of the
arbitration, and each party shall be solely responsible for all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses incurred in the preparation and prosecution of their own 

  
 15 









 
case; provided that in the event that a party fails to comply with the orders or decision of the arbitral tribunal, then such noncomplying party shall be liable for all costs and expenses
(including attorney fees) incurred by the other party in its effort to obtain either an order to compel, or an enforcement of an award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (ix) The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority, for good cause shown, to extend any of the time periods in this arbitration provision either on its own authority or upon the request of any of the
parties. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. The arbitral tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary or multiple damages or any other damages
not measured by the prevailing parties’ actual damages. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to order specific performance or to issue any other type of temporary or permanent injunction. 

(x) All notices by one party to the other in connection with the arbitration shall be in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.1 hereof, except that all notices for a demand for arbitration made pursuant to this Article VI must be made by personal delivery or receipted overnight courier. This agreement to arbitrate shall be binding upon the successors and
permitted assigns of each party. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties shall remain in full force and effect pending the award in any arbitration proceeding hereunder. 

Section 6.3 Confidentiality. Except to the extent necessary to compel arbitration or in connection with arbitration of
any dispute under this Agreement, or for enforcement of an arbitral award, information concerning (i) the existence of an arbitration pursuant to this Article VI, (ii) any documentary or other evidence given by a party or a witness in the
arbitration or (iii) the arbitration award may not be disclosed by the tribunal administrator, the arbitrators, any party or its counsel to any person or entity not connected with the proceeding unless required by law or by a court or competent
regulatory body, and then only to the extent of disclosing what is legally required. A party filing any document arising out of or relating to any arbitration in court shall seek from the court confidential treatment for such document. 

Section 6.4 Conduct During Dispute Resolution. The Parties shall continue the performance of their respective
obligations under this Agreement that are not the subject of dispute during the resolution of any dispute or disagreement, including during any period of arbitration, unless and until this Agreement is terminated or expires in accordance with its
terms and conditions. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TERM 
 Section 7.1 Term. This Agreement shall

Section 2.3(b)(vii), Section 2.3(b)(viii), Section 2.6, Section 2.10, Article III, Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Article VI, Article VII and Article VIII shall survive the expiration or termination of this

 Section 8.2 Entire Understanding; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including
the Schedules hereto) represents the entire understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made with respect to such subject matter.
Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or
by reason of this Agreement. Only the Parties that are signatories to this Agreement (and their permitted successors and assigns) shall have any obligation or liability under, in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or in any way related
to this Agreement or any other matter contemplated hereby, or the process leading up to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 8.3 Subsidiary Action. Wherever a Party to this Agreement has an obligation under this Agreement to
“cause” an Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Party or any such Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s officers, directors, management or employees to take, or refrain from taking, any action, or such action may be necessary to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, such obligation of such Party shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of such Party to cause such Affiliate or Subsidiary to take such necessary action. Wherever this Agreement provides that an Affiliate or
Subsidiary of a Party has an obligation to act or refrain from taking any action, such Party shall be deemed to have an obligation under this Agreement to cause such Affiliate or Subsidiary or any such Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s officers,
directors, management or employees to take, or refrain from taking, any action, or such action as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.4 Confidential Information. All information provided by either Party shall, except if the purpose for which such information is furnished pursuant to this Agreement
contemplates such disclosure or is for disclosure in public documents of ING U.S. or any of its Subsidiaries or Group or any of its Subsidiaries and, except for disclosure to other Subsidiaries of Group or ING U.S., as the case may be, be kept
strictly confidential and, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or as agreed by the Parties, 

  
 18 









 
neither Party shall disclose, and each shall take all necessary steps to ensure that none of their respective directors, officers, employers, agents and representatives disclose, or make use of,
except in accordance with Applicable Law, such information in any manner whatsoever until such information otherwise becomes generally available to the public; provided, however, this Section 8.4 shall not apply to information relating to or
disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement or in connection with any registration statement filed in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. In no event shall either Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives use material non-public information of the other to acquire or dispose of securities of the other or transact in any way on such securities. Each Party shall be liable for any
breach of this Section 8.4 by it or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives. 
 Section 8.5 Interpretation; Effect. In this Agreement, except as context may otherwise require, (a) the words “hereby”, “hereof”, “herein”, and
“hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, (b) terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when
used in the plural, and vice versa, (c) references herein to a specific Article, Section, Subsection or Schedule shall refer, respectively, to Article, Sections, Subsections or Schedules of this Agreement, (d) references to the
transactions contemplated hereby include the transactions provided for in this Agreement, (e) references to any agreement (including this Agreement), contract, statute or regulation are to the agreement, contract, statute or regulation as
amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (in the case of an agreement or contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof), and to any section of any statute or regulation include any successor to the section,
(f) references to any Governmental Authority includes any successor to that Governmental Authority, (g) wherever the word “include”, “includes”, or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to
be followed by the words “without limitation”, (h) the word “person” is to be interpreted broadly to include any individual, savings association, bank, trust company, corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
association, joint-stock company, business trust, labor union, works council or unincorporated organization, (i) references herein to any gender include each other gender, (j) all pronouns and variations of pronouns will be deemed to refer
to the feminine, masculine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person referred to may require, (k) headings and numbering of sections and paragraphs in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be construed to
define or limit any of the terms in this Agreement or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, (l) this Agreement is the product of negotiation by the Parties, having the assistance of counsel and other advisers, (m) the
Parties intend that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to one Party than with regard to any other, and (n) no provision of this Agreement is to be construed to require, directly or indirectly, any person to take any
action, or omit to take any action, to the extent such action or omission would violate Applicable Law (including statutory and common law), rule or regulation. 
 Section 8.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be 

  
 19 









 
substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or the
application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 8.7 Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted
by United States Federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of
law principles thereof to the extent that such principles would apply the law of another jurisdiction. 
 Section 8.8
Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time by written agreement of the Parties. Any failure of any Party to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by
the other Party, by an instrument in writing signed by such Party, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such term or provision shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure
to comply. 
 Section 8.9 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. None of the Parties may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as provided in this
Section 8.9. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.9 shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Group may, without consent of ING U.S., assign all of its rights, benefits and obligations under
this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates; provided that no such assignment shall relieve Group of any of its obligations hereunder; and provided, further, that any such transferee assumes all of Group’s obligations
under this Agreement in a written instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries may assign all of its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement upon the prior written consent of Group, which consent is not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, solely to an acquirer of all or substantially all of the ING U.S. business that assumes the obligations of ING U.S. and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement. 

Section 8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts that may be delivered by means
of facsimile or email (or any other electronic means such as “.pdf” or “.tiff” files), each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 Section 8.11 Joinder. Group shall take such actions as may be required to ensure that each of its
Affiliates that operates materially in the fields of insurance, retirement or investment management that ceases to be an Affiliate of Group during the Transition Period shall, prior to or as of such time as such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate
of Group, enter into a joinder agreement with terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent applicable to the business of such Affiliate, pursuant to which such Affiliate shall be bound by,
and entitled to the benefits of, this Agreement as if such 

  
 20 









 
Affiliate were a direct party hereto. Any such joinder shall be considered to be a binding and direct agreement between such divested Affiliate and ING U.S.
