Events of Default and Remedies: | An “Event of Default” with respect to the notes shall result only if:
• ING is declared bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction in The Netherlands (or such other jurisdiction in which it may be organized); or

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, and only in such instance, the entire principal amount of the notes will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the trustee or any holder, and will become immediately due and payable together with accrued but unpaid interest, subject to obtaining relevant approvals. The payment of principal of the notes will be accelerated only in the event of an event of default (but not the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any of ING’s subsidiaries). There will be no right of acceleration of the payment of principal of the notes if ING fails to pay any principal, interest or any other amount (including upon redemption) on the notes or in the performance of any of its covenants or agreements contained in the notes.
