In consideration of their mutual promises, the parties agree as follows:

Status of ING Funds

(a)

ING Funds represents and warrants to the Investment Manager and the Trust that:

	(i)		It is a broker-dealer registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is registered or qualified in all capacities and jurisdictions required by reason of any participation in the distribution of Common Shares by it while providing the services described above and each employee or agent of ING Funds who participates in the distribution of Common Shares has all necessary licenses and qualifications in all capacities and jurisdictions required by reason of any participation in a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

	(ii)		ING Funds is a registered broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) and it agrees to abide by all of the rules and regulations of the NASD in connection with the participation in the distribution of Shares including, without limitation, the NASD Conduct Rules. ING Funds agrees to notify the Investment Manager and the Trust in writing immediately in the event of (1) its expulsion or suspension from the NASD, or (2) its being found to have violated any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of its activities as a broker-dealer or in connection with this Agreement, or which may otherwise affect in any material way its ability to act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. ING Funds’ expulsion from the NASD will automatically terminate this Agreement immediately without notice. Suspension of ING Funds from the NASD for violation of any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation will terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon the Investment Manager’s written notice of termination to ING Funds.

	(iii)		ING Funds is familiar with and understands the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and has substantial

			experience with offers and sales of securities by issuers involving a public offering under the 1933 Act.

	(d)		ING Funds covenants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its services contemplated hereby (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action and all other authorizations and approvals (if any) required for its lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance hereunder have been obtained and (ii) does not and will not violate any federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

Neither the prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each preliminary prospectus and the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the 1933 Act, complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act and each preliminary prospectus and the prospectus delivered to ING Funds for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the SEC pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

	(c)		No Material Adverse Change. Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (i) there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, or business affairs of the Trust, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) there have been no transactions entered into by the Trust, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Trust, and (iii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Trust on any class of its capital stock.

The Trust has been duly organized and is validly existing as a statutory trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has statutory trust power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Trust is duly qualified as a foreign statutory trust to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

	(e)		No Subsidiaries. The Trust has no subsidiaries.

	(f)		Investment Company Status. The Trust is duly registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and no order of suspension or revocation of such registration has been issued or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.

The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust is as set forth in the prospectus as of the date thereof under the caption “Description of Shares.” All issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, except as provided for in the Trusts’ agreement and declaration of trust, and have been offered and sold or exchanged by the Trust in compliance with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws); none of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Trust was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Trust.

	(h)		Description of Common Shares. The Common Shares conform to all statements relating thereto contained in the prospectus and such description conforms to the rights set forth in the instruments defining the same; no holder of the Common

			Shares will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance of the Common Shares is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Trust.

	(i)		Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. The Trust is not in violation of its agreement and declaration of trust or by-laws, or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Trust is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) except for such violations or defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement and compliance by the Trust with its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Trust (except for such conflicts, breaches or defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the agreement and declaration of trust or by-laws of the Trust or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Trust or any of its assets, properties or operations.

The aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Trust is a party or of which any of its property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

	(k)		Accuracy of Exhibits. There are no contracts or documents which are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the prospectus or to be filed as exhibits thereto by the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act which have not been so described and filed as required.

	(1)		Possession of Intellectual Property. The Trust owns or possesses, or can acquire on reasonable terms, adequate patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions,

			copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names or other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to carry on the business now operated by the Trust, and the Trust has not received any notice or is not otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Trust therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

	(m)		Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been already obtained or as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), or under the rules of the NASD.

	(n)		Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Trust possesses such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to operate its properties and to conduct the business as contemplated in the Prospectus; the Trust is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Trust has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

	(o)		Subchapter M. The Trust intends to direct the investment of the proceeds of the offering described in the Registration Statement in such a manner as to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Subchapter M of the Code” and the “Code,” respectively), and intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.

	(p)		Absence of Undisclosed Payments. To the Trust’s knowledge, neither the Trust nor any employee or agent of the Trust has made any payment of funds of the Trust or received or retained any funds, which payment, receipt or retention of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the prospectus.

	(q)		Registration Rights. There are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise registered by the Trust under the 1933 Act.

	(r)		AMEX Listing. The Common Shares have been duly authorized for listing, upon notice of issuance, on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and the Trust’s registration statement on Form 8-A under the 1934 Act has become effective.

ING Funds shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Investment Manager and their respective affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any breach by ING Funds of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any willful misfeasance or gross negligence by ING Funds in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder; (iii) any violation of any applicable law by ING Funds, its employees, agents or representatives; or (iv) any acts or omissions of the Investment Manager or the Trust and their respective affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees taken or not taken, as the case may be, in reliance upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Trust’s Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue

			statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, regarding ING Funds and the services it provides the Trust and the Investment Manager.

	(b)		The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless ING Funds and its affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to which it may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any breach by the Trust of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any willful misfeasance or gross negligence by the Trust in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, or iii) any violation of any applicable law by the Trust, its employees, agents or representatives.

	(c)		The Investment Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless ING Funds and its affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to which it may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any breach by the Investment Manager of any provision of this Agreement; or (ii) any willful misfeasance or gross negligence by the Investment Manager in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder; or iii) any violation of any applicable law by the Investment Manager, its employees, agents or representatives.

The Indemnified Party shall assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from it, provided that the Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this paragraph (d) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability unless such failure to give proper notice prohibits the Indemnifying Party from defending the claim. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

	(b)		The 26 basis point fee payable under this paragraph 1 will be computed based on the Trust’s per share offering price, which will be $15.00 per share or such amount set out in the Registration Statement.

In addition to the fee payable under paragraph 1, above, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities, L.P., the Investment Manager, will pay ING Funds Distributor, LLC annual payments in accordance with the following formula:

	(a)		For the calendar year ending December 31, 2004, seven (7) basis points, computed as a percentage of the proceeds received by the Trust, net of selling concessions and underwriters fee ($14.325 per share) for the Common Shares sold during the Offering Period and Over-Allotment Period (collectively, the “Proceeds from Shares Sold”), paid on the 90th calendar day after the last day of the Offering Period;

	(b)		For each of the following two (2) calendar years (ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006) six (6) basis points, computed as a percentage of the Proceeds from Shares Sold, payable on March 31^st of each such year.
