This supplement updates the current prospectus for your variable annuity contract. Please read
it carefully and keep it with your copy of the prospectus for future reference. If you have any
questions, please call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-366-0066.

1.    Under the “FEES AND EXPENSES” section on page 1, replace the Separate Account 
    Annual Charges Table and the introductory paragraph that precedes it with: 

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the
contract, not including Trust or Fund fees and expenses.

Separate Account Annual Charges
Contract without any of the optional riders that may be available

Annual Contract Administrative Charge1 $40

(We waive this charge if the total of your premium payments is $100,000 or more, or if your contract value
at the end of a contract year is $100,000 or more.)

    Enhanced Death Benefits 
  Standard Death  Quarterly   
  Benefit  Ratchet  Max 7 




Mortality and Expense Risk Charge 2  1.00%  1.25%  1.55% 
Asset-Based Administrative Charge  0.15%  0.15%  0.15% 
         Total 3  1.15%  1.40%  1.70% 





1 We deduct this charge on each contract anniversary and on surrender. 
2 Mortality and Expense Risk Charges for Contracts purchased before January 28, 2008: Standard Death 
  Benefit – 0.85%; Quarterly Ratchet – 1.10%; and Max 7 – 1.40%. 
3 These charges are as a percentage of average contract value in each subaccount. These annual charges are 
  deducted daily.

ING Architect - 147328


2.      Also under the “FEES AND EXPENSES” section on page 3, replace the Maximum Charges and Current Charges Tables and the paragraph that precedes them with:

The next two tables show the total annual charges you could pay, based on the amounts you have invested in
the subaccounts (unless otherwise indicated), for the Contract and each death benefit, and the most expensive
combination of riders possible. Maximum and current charges are shown, but not the Annual Contract
Administrative Charge. Also, these tables do not show the Trust or Fund fees and expenses. For purposes of these
tables, we have assumed that the value of the amounts invested in the subaccounts and the MGIB Charge Base are
both the same as the contract value. The charge for the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule rider lasts for your first
four contract years. The charge for the Premium Credit rider is for a Contract with the optional surrender charge
schedule and lasts for your first four contract years.

    Enhanced Death Benefits 
  Standard Death  Quarterly  Max 7 
MAXIMUM CHARGES  Benefit  Ratchet   




 Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  1.00%  1.25%  1.55% 
 Asset-Based Administrative Charge  0.15%  0.15%  0.15% 
 Maximum Premium Credit Rider Charge  0.50%  0.50%  0.50%

         1.50%  1.50%  1.50% 
             Total  4.05%  4.30%  4.60% 




 
 
 
    Enhanced Death Benefits 
  Standard Death  Quarterly  Max 7 
CURRENT CHARGES  Benefit  Ratchet   




 Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  1.00%  1.25%  1.55%

 Premium Credit Rider Charge  0.45%  0.45%  0.45% 
 Optional Surrender Charge Schedule Rider Charge  0.45%  0.45%  0.45% 
 Current Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider       
 Charge (as percentage of the MGIB Charge Base)  0.75%  0.75%  0.75% 
             Total  2.80%  3.05%  3.35% 




 
 
Also under the “FEES AND EXPENSES” section on page 4, replace the Example with: 

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other
variable annuity contracts.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The costs reflected are
the maximum charges for the Contract with the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit and the most expensive combination
of riders possible. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and assumes the
maximum Trust or Fund fees and expenses. Excluded are premium taxes and any transfer charges.

ING Architect - 147328


Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

1) If you surrender or annuitize* your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$1,380  $2,387  $3,461  $6,583 
2) If you do not surrender your contract:     
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$580  $1,787  $3,061  $6,583 





* You cannot annuitize the Contract before the fifth contract anniversary.

Compensation is paid for the sale of the Contracts. For information about this compensation, see “Other Contract
Provisions – Selling the Contract.”

4.      Under the “CHARGES AND FEES” section on page 11, Replace the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge Table and the introductory paragraph that precedes it with:

Charges Deducted from the Subaccounts

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The amount of the mortality and expense risk charge depends on the
death benefit you have elected. The charge is deducted on each business day and is a percentage of average daily
assets based on the assets you have in each subaccount. The mortality and expense risk charge compensates the
Company for death benefit and annuitization risks and the risk that expense charges will not cover actual expenses.
The death benefit risk is that actual mortality rates in the aggregate may exceed expected mortality rates. The
annuitization risk is that actual mortality rates may be lower than expected mortality rates. If there are any profits
from the mortality and expense risk charge, we may use such profits to finance the distribution of contracts.

  Quarterly Ratchet  Max 7 
Standard  Enhanced  Enhanced 
Death Benefit  Death Benefit  Death Benefit 



Annual Charge  Annual Charge  Annual Charge 
1.00%  1.25%  1.55% 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges for Contracts purchased before January 28, 2008: Standard Death Benefit –
0.85%; Quarterly Ratchet – 1.10%; and Max 7 – 1.40% .

ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE
DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post Effective Amendment No. 6 to Registration Statement
on Form N-4 for ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company Separate Account EQ as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2007 (File Nos. 333-111686, 811-08524).

ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of November 30, 2007, there are 1,511 qualified contract owners and 1,642 non-qualified contract
owners.

ITEM 28: INDEMNIFICATION

ING USA shall indemnify (including therein the prepayment of expenses) any person who is or was a
director, officer or employee, or who is or was serving at the request of ING USA as a director, officer or
employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings against
him by reason of the fact that he is or was such a director, officer or employee to the extent and in the
manner permitted by law.

ING USA may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other person who is or was serving
ING USA in any capacity. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to determine who
may be indemnified under this paragraph and to what extent (not to exceed the extent provided in the
above paragraph) any such person may be indemnified.

A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director
of the corporation. ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability umbrella
insurance policy issued by an international insurer. The policy covers ING America Insurance Holdings,
Inc. and any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling interest of 50%
or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor. Additionally, the
parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains an excess
umbrella cover with limits in excess of $125,000,000. The policy provides for the following types of
coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices,
fiduciary and fidelity.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the Depositor is
against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In
the event that a claim of such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the
Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or
controlling person and the SEC is still of the same opinion, the Depositor or 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 of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public
policy as expressed by the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

ITEM 29: PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

(a) At present, Directed Services LLC, the Registrant's Distributor, serves as principal underwriter for all

contracts issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. Directed Services LLC is the
principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B, ING USA Separate Account EQ,
ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B, Alger Separate Account A of
ING USA and the ING Investors Trust.

(b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal officers and directors of Directed
Services LLC, the Registrant's Distributor. The principal business address for each officer and director
following is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380-1478, unless otherwise noted.
