Exhibit 10.09
2013 Converted Award Agreement
under the
ING U.S., Inc.
2013 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan
Number of Deferred Shares (2012 Annual Incentive Deferral) =
Number of Deferred Shares (2013 LTI Grant) =
As a result of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of ING U.S., Inc. (“ING U.S.”), awards previously granted to you under the ING Groep N.V. (“ING Group”) Long Term Sustainable Performance Plan (“Prior Awards”) have been automatically converted into Awards (“Converted Awards”) to you pursuant to the ING U.S., Inc. 2013 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Converted Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and as set forth below in this agreement (the “Agreement”). Your personal details listed above, together with these terms and conditions, constitute your Agreement.
This 2013 Agreement will govern the terms and conditions of the Converted Award from and after the time of the IPO. Your acceptance of the Prior Awards constituted your irrevocable consent to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Article 1 - General

1.1
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same definition as in the Plan. Unless otherwise stated or the context so requires, the singular shall be construed to mean the plural, and vice versa.

1.2
The provisions of this Agreement shall govern and prevail in the event of any conflict with the Plan. Any conflicting or inconsistent term of this Agreement shall be interpreted and implemented by the Committee in a manner consistent with the Plan.

1.3
The Grantee has read the Plan, and accepts and agrees to the terms and conditions thereof.

1.4
Number of Deferred Shares . The number of Deferred Shares (2012 Annual Incentive Deferral) and Deferred Shares (2013 LTI Grant) indicated on the top of the first page of this Agreement has been determined by multiplying each Deferred Share subject to your Prior Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the average of the closing price on The New York Stock Exchange of one ADR or BDR, as applicable, representing one ordinary share of ING Group, for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the closing of the IPO and the denominator of which is the price to the public (as specified on the cover of the final IPO-related prospectus) of one share of common stock of ING U.S. in the IPO. To the extent the calculation did not result in a whole number, the figure was rounded up to avoid fractional shares.


1



Article 2 - Award of Converted Awards

2.1
Nature of the Converted Awards . The Converted Awards made under Article 2 of this Agreement constitute a conditional right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (a) the number of Deferred Shares (2012 Annual Incentive Deferral) and (b) the number of Deferred Shares (2013 LTI Grant), in each case, as indicated at the top of the first page of this Agreement and calculated as described in Article 1.4, and subject to Article 3.1 and Article 3.2, respectively.

2.2
Grant Date of Award . The grant date of the Converted Awards is May 7, 2013.

2.3
Consideration . No consideration is payable by the Grantee in respect of the Converted Awards.

Article 3 - Vesting and Delivery of Converted Awards

3.1
Deferred Shares (2012 Annual Incentive Deferral) . Subject to Articles 3.3 and 3.4 below, this Converted Award will vest 50% on March 27, 2015, 25% on March 27, 2016 and 25% on March 27, 2017 (each, a “Vesting Date”), provided that the Grantee is still Employed by the Company on the respective Vesting Date. Any fractional shares that would otherwise vest on a Vesting Date will vest on the final Vesting Date. In the event there are any fractional shares on the final Vesting Date, the number of Deferred Shares that vest on that final Vesting Date will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. One share of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Grantee in respect of each vested Deferred Share as soon as practicable following each of the respective Vesting Dates but in any event no later than the end of the calendar year in which any such Vesting Date occurs.

Your personal details listed above, together with these terms and conditions, constitute your Agreement.

Exhibit 10.13

ING U.S., Inc.
2013 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan

As a result of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of ING U.S., Inc. (“ING U.S.”), the 2013 award of Restricted ADS Units previously granted to you under the ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 (“Prior Award”), has been automatically converted into an Award (“Converted Award”) granted to you pursuant to the ING U.S., Inc. 2013 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This agreement (the “Agreement”) evidences the terms of the Converted Award granted to EMPLOYEE NAME (“Grantee”) on [ ] , 2013 (“Date of Award”). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the award agreement previously entered into with the Grantee governing the Prior Award, this Agreement will govern the terms and conditions of the Converted Award from and after the time of the IPO. The Grantee's acceptance of the Prior Award constituted your irrevocable consent to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1.     Restricted Stock Units Awarded
The Grantee is hereby awarded [ # of shares ] Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the unfunded, unsecured contractual right to receive one share of Common Stock of ING U.S., subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded hereby has been determined by multiplying each Restricted ADS Unit subject to your Prior Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the average of the closing price of the New York Stock Exchange of one American Depositary Share of ING Groep N.V. for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the closing of the IPO and the denominator of which is the price to the public (as specified on the cover of the final IPO-related prospectus) of one share of Common Stock of ING U.S. in the IPO. To the extent the calculation did not result in a whole number, the figure was rounded up to avoid fractional shares
2.     Delivery of Common Shares
Upon vesting pursuant to Paragraph 3 or Paragraph 4, as applicable, the Grantee will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which the Grantee becomes vested in his or her Restricted Stock Units, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months after vesting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ING U.S. reserves the right to permit the Grantee to elect to receive payment of all or a portion of the value of the Common Stock in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date they vest. The term “Fair Market Value” for purposes of this Agreement shall be the average of the highest and lowest prices of a share of Common Stock as quoted

1



on the New York Stock Exchange, on the vesting date. Should the market be closed on a vesting date, the “Fair Market Value” shall be the average of the highest and lowest prices of a share of Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, on the last trading day prior to the vesting date. In the event of a block trade, the average price received will be the Fair Market Value for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    Any determination by any court of competent jurisdiction of the invalidity of any provision of this Agreement that is not essential to accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement will not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect and which will be construed so as to be valid under applicable law.
(c)    The failure of any person at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right of such person or any other person to enforce the same.

(i)    Grantee will not (except to the extent required by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency) disclose to any third person, whether during or subsequent to Grantee's Employment, any trade secrets, including but not limited to customer lists, product development and related information, marketing plans and related information, sales plans and related information, premium or other pricing information, operating policies and manuals, research, methodologies, contractual forms, business plans, financial records, or other financial, commercial, business or technical information related to the Company unless such information has been previously disclosed to the public by the Company or has become public knowledge other than by a breach of this Agreement, provided, however , that this limitation shall not apply to any such disclosure made while Grantee is Employed by the Company if such disclosure occurred in connection with the performance of Grantee's job as an employee of the Company;
(ii)    Grantee will not, during and for a period of 12 months following Grantee's termination of Employment, directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any employee or Insurance Agent of the Company to be employed by or to perform services for any entity that competes with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate;
(iii)     Grantee will not, during and for a period of 12 months following Grantee's termination of Employment, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any agent or agency, broker, broker-dealer, financial planner, registered principal or representative, supplier or service provider of the Company to cease providing services to the Company;
(iv)    Grantee will not, during and for a period of 12 months after Grantee's termination of Employment, directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit the trade of any individual or entity which, at the time of such solicitation or attempted solicitation, is a customer of the Company, or which the Company is undertaking reasonable steps to procure as a customer at the time of or immediately preceding termination of Employment; provided, however , that this limitation shall only apply to any product or service which is in competition with a product or service of the Company and to those customers or prospective customers with whom Grantee had contact during Grantee's Employment; and

(d)    The Company may terminate any Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement if Grantee has willfully engaged in gross misconduct which the Company determines is likely to be damaging or detrimental to the Company.

Where the Grantee qualifies as a US taxpayer, the Grantee understands and agrees that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement, and the Converted Awards made hereby, shall be administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any adjustment of any of the Converted Awards granted hereby shall be made in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Converted Awards granted hereby are intended to either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. In the event that the Grantee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations §1.409A‑1(i)) as of the date of the Grantee's “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.409A‑1(h)) and if, as a result, any shares of Common Stock cannot be delivered, or any Converted Award cannot be paid or provided, in either case in the manner otherwise provided without subjecting the Grantee to “additional tax”, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then such shares shall be delivered, or Converted Award will be paid or provided, on the first day of the seventh month following the Grantee's separation from service.
10.    Defined Terms
(a)    “Disability” shall mean total and permanent as defined under the Grantee's employer's Long-Term Disability Plan, regardless of whether the Grantee actually participates in that plan, or if the employer has not such long-term disability plan, as determined by ING U.S. in its sole discretion.
(b)    “Retirement” shall mean termination of Employment on or after attaining age 55 and completion of at least 5 years of service. For these purposes, years of service shall have the same meaning as in the ING Americas Retirement Plan, as in effect from time to time.
