                     (b)    The Custodial IRA qualifies as an individual

                            Custodial IRA customer, until Authorized Selling
                            Firm has received from the customer the completed
                            documents necessary to establish the Custodial IRA
                            account; and
                     (d)    Authorized Selling Firm or an affiliate will
                            properly respond to any order, levy, summons or
                            subpoena relating to a Custodial IRA issued in
                            connection with a judicial or administrative
                            proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

            4.19.2   RiverSource is not responsible for monitoring Custodial
                     IRAs with regard to compliance with the Code or other
                     rules and regulations promulgated under the Code or
                     applicable state law, including, but not limited to,
                     those related to over-contributions, eligibility, income
                     restrictions, timeliness of contribution, distributions
                     upon death, state tax law reporting or any other matters
                     related to the status of any Custodial IRA (as it relates
                     to IRAs specifically or any ownership or beneficiary
                     rights in general). RiverSource is not responsible for
                     Authorized Selling Firm's compliance with Authorized
                     Selling Firm's procedures with respect to the
                     administration of any Custodial IRA.

            4.19.3   Authorized Selling Firm or an affiliate will provide such
                     returns or filings and render such statements and reports
                     as are required for federal regulatory and tax purposes.

            4.19.4   The annual IRA custodial fee (if applicable) will be
                     charged by Authorized Selling Firm and not by Company.

            4.19.5   Agency must make the following, or substantively similar,
                     disclosure in connection with the sale of individual
                     retirement annuity products into any Custodial IRA:

                     "Your individual retirement annuity ("Annuity IRA") has a
                     tax-deferred feature under the Internal Revenue Code, as
                     does your Custodial IRA. As a result, when you transfer
                     your annuity IRA to the Custodial IRA, your annuity will
                     not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral.
                     However, your Annuity IRA has features other than tax
                     deferral that may help you reach your retirement

                                 Page 4 of 10

                     goals. Fees charged by the Insurance Company (if any)
                     will still apply as outlined in the annuity prospectus
                     and contract."

            4.19.6   Authorized Selling Firm will provide RiverSource with the
                     name of its Custodian at RiverSource's request. So that
                     RiverSource has an opportunity to conduct due diligence,
                     any change in custodian or trustee does not take effect
                     unless approved in writing by RiverSource.

                     indemnify the Authorized Selling Firm for any loss or
                     judgment as a result of any of Company's untrue
                     statements of material fact or any omission to state a
                     material fact, the omission of which makes any statement
                     contained in the Sales Material misleading.

      5.2   Company shall send out all Contracts directly to Authorized
            Selling Firm or their Producers unless Authorized Selling Firm
            requests in writing that Company send out the Contract directly to

            transaction in accordance with Rule 10b-10 under the 1934 Act.

      5.4   Company shall provide administrative, accounting and other
            services to Contract owners as necessary and appropriate, in the
            same manner as such services are provided to Company's other
            Contract owners.

      5.5   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any
            other agreement between Company and/or Distributor and Agency
            and/or Broker-Dealer, Company reserves the unconditional right

6.    COMPENSATION. Company shall pay to Authorized Selling Firm compensation
      in the form of commissions on premiums collected, gross dealer
      concession, or other appropriate methods pursuant to this Agreement in
      accordance with the rates and limitations as agreed to by the parties.
      Such amounts shall constitute payment in full to the Broker Dealer or
      Agency, as applicable, for all sales under this Agreement by the
      Authorized Selling Firm and its Producers. Company shall pay
      compensation to Authorized Selling Firm on a monthly basis within thirty
      (30) days following the end of the month based on sales activity
      occurring in the previous month including reversals for refunds or other
      necessary adjustments.

      6.1   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or subsequently
            agreed to in writing by RiverSource, Authorized Selling Firm will
            be responsible for all costs and expenses of any kind and nature
            incurred by Authorized Selling Firm in the performance of its
            duties under this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is
            understood there is a separate agreement between the parties
            pursuant to which the Company shall reimburse the Authorized
            Selling Firm for its share of expenses in connection with the
            establishment of sales offices, staffing of such offices, training
            of Producers, and other related costs.

      6.2   In the event of termination of this Agreement for one or more of
            the reasons specified below in Section 9.1, Termination for Cause,
            no further compensation shall thereafter be payable.

      6.3   Upon termination of this Agreement, Company's obligation to pay
            compensation to Broker-Dealer or to Agency as applicable will
            immediately cease except that:

            6.3.1.   Company will pay compensation, as the same becomes due
                     and payable, upon Products for which the application has
                     been taken and the required premium has been collected
                     (or has become irrevocably collectable from a third
                     party) as of the date of termination, and for which the
                     Company subsequently issues a policy.

            6.3.2.   Company will charge back against compensation due in the
                     event of surrenders of Products sold prior to the
                     termination of this Agreement by Authorized Selling Firm
                     or Producers. Company will invoice Agency unless Company
                     and Agency agree upon another method of payment of such
                     amounts.

      6.4   Authorized Selling Firm shall pay cash or non-cash compensation
            for Product sales: (i) only to any person or entity that is
            appropriately licensed and appointed to sell Products; (ii) which
            are accepted by Company; and (iii) if such payment is in
            accordance with applicable laws, regulations, NASD or other
            self-regulatory organization rules and Company Rules.

      6.5   If requested by Authorized Selling Firm, Company will advance
            compensation monthly based on premium expected to be deposited
            with Company to effect an IRC Section 1035 exchange of one
            investment product for another product sold under this Agreement.
            In the event that the expected premium does not reach Company
            within 90 days of the date of the Product application, the entire
            compensation for the transaction will be charged back during the
            next normal compensation cycle.

      6.6   The parties hereto agree that Company may act as paying agent for
            the Authorized Selling Firm for purposes of paying compensation to
            Producers (herein "Paying Agent Services"). In that event,
            Authorized Selling Firm authorizes Company, on behalf of the
            Broker-Dealer and Agency, to pay all compensation due to Producers
            in respect of the sales of Contracts by Producers.

            6.6.1.   In connection with Paying Agent Services, Company shall
                     have no discretion as to either the timing or the amount
                     of such payments to any Producer and all such payments
                     shall be made in accordance with the Authorized Selling
                     Firm's compensation schedule which shall be provided to
                     the Company from time to time while this Agreement
                     remains in effect. Company will make all such payments
                     from its centralized payroll system. Company will
                     withhold all federal, state and local income and related
                     employment taxes in respect of such payments, and shall
                     timely report and deposit all such amounts with the
                     appropriate revenue authorities.

                                 Page 6 of 10

            6.6.2.   Company's books and records will reflect all transactions
                     performed on behalf of Authorized Selling Firm.
                     Authorized Selling Firm will retain overall
                     responsibility for the records kept for it by Company
                     hereunder, exactly as if Authorized Selling Firm rather
                     than Company performed the Paying Agent Services. Company
                     acknowledges that it holds all books and records with
                     respect to the Paying Agent Services on behalf of and as
                     agent for Authorized Selling Firm whose property they are
                     and shall remain and Company acknowledges that it will
                     provide access to Authorized Selling Firm upon Authorized
                     Selling Firm's reasonable request.

            6.6.3.   In connection with the Paying Agent Services, each party
                     agrees to cooperate with the other party and all
                     appropriate government authorities (including without
                     limitation the SEC, the NASD and state insurance
                     regulators) and will permit each other and such
                     authorities reasonable access to its books and records in
                     connection with any investigation or inquiry relating to
                     this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
                     Each party agrees to permit the other party or the
                     appropriate governmental authority to make copies of
                     portions of its books and records that relate to the
                     party's performance of its duties under this Agreement
                     and which are the subject matter of the investigation or
                     inquiry.

            6.6.4.   The Authorized Selling Firm agrees to reimburse Company
                     at cost for Paying Agent Services provided by Company
                     pursuant to this Agreement. The charge to the Authorized
                     Selling Firm for such services shall include all direct
                     and indirectly allocable expenses. The methods for
                     allocating expenses to the Authorized Selling Firm shall
                     be in accordance with the requirements of the Minnesota
                     insurance holding company system laws. Such methods shall
                     be modified and adjusted by mutual agreement where
                     necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably
                     the actual incidence of expense incurred by the Company
                     on behalf of the Authorized Selling Firm. The method of
                     allocating costs hereunder and the payment thereof shall
                     be determined in the following manner:

                     (a)    The cost of services performed by the Company that
                            are identifiable as expenses incurred directly and
                            exclusively for the benefit of the Authorized
                            Selling Firm shall be charged to the Authorized
                            Selling Firm.

                     (b)    The cost of services performed by the Company that
                            are not identifiable as expenses incurred directly
                            and exclusively for the benefit of the Authorized
                            Selling Firm shall be allocated and charged to the
                            Authorized Selling Firm in conformity with
                            customary insurance accounting practices.

                     (c)    At the request of the Authorized Selling Firm, and
                            at Company's expense, the Company shall produce
                            records and provide access to enable the
                            Authorized Selling Firm to verify that such cost
                            allocations are performed in accordance with the
                            practices referenced above.

                     (d)    For services rendered under this Agreement,
                            payment shall be made by the Authorized Selling
                            Firm to the Company on a monthly basis within
                            thirty (30) days of invoice or other notice. The
                            parties agree that during the course of any given
                            month the Authorized Selling Firm may make
                            reasonable estimated payments for part or all of
                            the monthly cost in which case such payment shall
                            be offset against the actual amount otherwise due
                            at the end of the month under this Agreement. The
                            parties also agree that, at the option of the
                            Authorized Selling Firm, the Authorized Selling
                            Firm may reimburse the Company based upon the
                            Company's good faith estimate of the monthly costs
                            for some or all of the services provided
                            hereunder, in which case there shall be a final
                            adjustment made within thirty (30) days after
                            completion of the Company's cost analysis
                            performed at least annually.

                     For purposes of allocating costs under this Agreement,
                     the Authorized Selling Firm and Company shall rely on
                     their internal accounting and allocation system then in
                     effect, that system currently being the Management
                     Accounting and Reporting System ("MARS"), which utilizes
                     a product factor methodology for certain services and
                     rate-volume formulas for other services, in order to

                                 Page 7 of 10
<PAGE>

                     ensure fair and reasonable allocations of income and
                     expenses among affiliated entities. Allocation of costs
                     in connection with Paying Agent Services shall be
                     accounted for by Authorized Selling Firm in accordance
                     with applicable requirements of the Securities and
                     Exchange Commission and by the NASD including guidance
                     provided in Notice To Members 03-63

            6.6.5.   It is understood that these Paying Agent Services may be
                     terminated at any time upon mutual consent of the parties
                     without otherwise affecting the terms of this Agreement.

      7.1   INDEMNIFICATION OF COMPANY AND DISTRIBUTOR. Authorized Selling
            Firm shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and

            employees, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
            liabilities, actions, costs or expenses to which Company or
            Distributor, or any of their respective officers, directors and
            employees, may become subject insofar as such losses, claims,
            damages, liabilities, actions, costs or expenses arise out of or
            are based upon: the acts or omissions of Authorized Selling Firm
            or any of its employees, agents, Producers or licensed assistants
            while acting on behalf of Authorized Selling Firm or RiverSource
            in connection with this Agreement; any breach of any covenant or

            or any employee or agent of clearing broker while performing the

            this paragraph will extend to any regulatory penalties incurred by
            Company or Distributor as a result of said activities.

            This indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent that
            such alleged act or omission is attributable to Company or
            Distributor either because (1) Company or Distributor directed the
            act or omission, or (2) the act or omission by Authorized Selling
            Firm or any of its employees, agents, Producers or licensed
            assistants was the result of their compliance with the Company
            Rules.

      7.2   INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENCY AND BROKER-DEALER. Company or
            Distributor, as the case may be, shall indemnify, defend and hold
            harmless Authorized Selling Firm, and any of its officers,
            directors and employees, from and against any and all losses,
            claims, damages, liabilities, actions, costs or expenses to which
            Authorized Selling Firm, or any of its officers, directors and
            employees, may become subject insofar as such losses, claims,
            damages, liabilities, actions, costs or expenses arise out of or
            are based upon: the acts or omissions of Company or Distributor,
            respectively, or any employee or agent of Company or Distributor
            (excluding Authorized Selling Firm, Producers or licensed
            assistants) while acting on behalf of RiverSource in connection
            with this Agreement; any breach of any covenant or agreement made
            by Company or Distributor, respectively, under this Agreement; or
            the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by
            Company or Distributor, respectively, under this Agreement.

      7.3   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Each party agrees that, as between the
            parties, in no event will any party to this Agreement be
            responsible to any other party for any incidental, indirect,
            consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind
            arising from this Agreement, including without limitation, lost
            revenues, loss of profits or loss of business. This limitation
            does not apply to third party claims for damages that are covered
            by the indemnification obligation under this Section 7.

8.    ARBITRATION. The parties agree to attempt to settle any
      misunderstandings or disputes arising out of this Agreement through
      consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual
      cooperation. However, if those attempts fail, the parties agree that any
      misunderstandings or disputes arising from this Agreement will be
      decided by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
      Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and
      Title 9 of the U.S. Code. Judgment on the award rendered by the
      arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
      number of arbitrators will be three (unless the parties to the dispute
      agree on a single arbitrator), one of whom will be appointed by
      RiverSource or an affiliate other than Authorized Selling Firm, one of
      whom will be appointed by Authorized Selling Firm, and the third of whom
      will be selected by mutual agreement, if possible, within 30 days of the
      selection of the second arbitrator and thereafter by the administering

                                      ---

                      RIVERSOURCE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                      ----------------------------------

      This Marketing Support Services Agreement (this "Agreement") is made
effective as of January 1, 2007 (the "Effective Date") by and between
Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein the
"Authorized Selling Firm" and known internally as "Company 15" for accounting
purposes), and RiverSource Life Insurance Company, a Minnesota corporation
(herein the "Company" and known internally as "Company 10" for accounting
purposes).

      WHEREAS, Authorized Selling Firm and Company are affiliated companies
that are members of an insurance holding company system; and

      WHEREAS, pursuant to a separate selling agreement between the parties
dated January 1, 2007, Authorized Selling Firm distributes annuity and
insurance products of the Company through a sales force of financial advisors
who must be furnished with various support services and facilities in order to
perform their sales activity on behalf of the Company; and

      WHEREAS, Authorized Selling Firm has extensive experience in providing
management, training, administrative services, and certain office facilities
for its financial advisors and an established infrastructure for providing
such services and facilities in an efficient and cost effective manner; and

      WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth in writing the services and
expenses which are the subject of this Agreement and the basis for allocating
expenses between them;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.    Services: Subject to the Company's sole and exclusive right to control
      --------
      and manage its insurance business, the Authorized Selling Firm will
      provide those services and incur those expenses as set forth on
      Attachment A annexed hereto and made a part hereof as well as any other
      services or expenses reasonably requested by the Company in connection
      with establishing an effective field force and method of distribution
      for the Company's products.

2.    Term: This Agreement shall be for a term beginning on the Effective Date
      ----
      and shall remain in effect thereafter unless the parties mutually agree
      otherwise; provided, however, that either party may terminate this
      Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 below.

3.    Allocation of Costs: The Company agrees to reimburse Authorized Selling
      -------------------
      Firm for its fair share of the costs of providing the services and
      facilities set forth in this Agreement. The methods for allocation of
      expenses by the Authorized Selling Firm to the Company shall be in
      accordance with the requirements of the Minnesota insurance holding
      company system laws. The parties further acknowledge that the Authorized
      Selling Firm is subject to guidance issued by the Securities and
      Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers,
      Inc. ("NASD") pertaining to the recording of expenses and liabilities by
      broker dealers as set forth in the NASD's Notice To Members 03-63. Such
      methods of allocation shall be modified and adjusted by mutual agreement
      where necessary or appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the
      actual incidence of expense incurred by the Authorized Selling Firm and
      allocation of such expenses to the Company. The method of allocating
      costs hereunder shall be set forth in Attachment A.

4.    Payments: For services rendered under this Agreement, payment shall be
      --------
      made by the Company to the Authorized Selling Firm on a monthly basis
      within thirty (30) days of invoice or other notice. The parties agree
      that during the course of any given month the Company may make
      reasonable estimated payments for part or all of the monthly cost in
      which case such payment shall be offset against the actual amount
      otherwise due at the end of the month under this Agreement. The parties
      also agree that, at the option of the Company, the Company may reimburse
      Authorized Selling Firm based upon Authorized Selling Firm's good faith
      estimate of the monthly costs for some or all of the services provided
      hereunder, in which case there shall be a final adjustment made within
      thirty (30) days after completion of Authorized Selling Firm's cost
      analysis performed at least annually.

5.    No Profit or Loss: It is the intention of the parties that no party
      -----------------
      shall realize a profit nor incur a loss as a result of the allocation of
      costs for the services and facilities described herein and the
      allocation of all costs for such services and facilities shall be made
      consistent with such intention.

6.    Maintenance of Books: Company and Authorized Selling Firm each shall
      --------------------
      maintain its own books, accounts and records in such a way as to
      disclose clearly and accurately the nature and detail of the
      transactions between them, including such accounting information as is
      necessary to support the reasonableness of the allocations under this
      Agreement, and such additional information as the Company may reasonably
      request for purposes of its internal bookkeeping and accounting
      operations. The Authorized Selling Firm shall keep such books, records
      and accounts insofar as they pertain to the computation of charges
      hereunder available for audit, inspection and copying by the Company and
      persons authorized by it or any governmental agency having jurisdiction
      over the Company during all reasonable business hours.

      --------------------------------
      established and maintained by the Authorized Selling Firm by reason of
      its performance of services under this Agreement, which, absent this
      Agreement, would have been held by the Company, shall be deemed the
      property of the Company and shall be maintained in accordance with
      applicable laws and regulations. Such records should be available,
      during normal business hours, for inspection by the Company, anyone
      authorized by the Company, and any governmental agency that has
      regulatory authority over the Company's business activities. Copies of
      such records, books and files shall be delivered to the Company on
      demand. All such records, books and files shall be promptly transferred
      to the Company by the Authorized Selling Firm upon termination of this
      Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the
      Authorized Selling Firm from maintaining a copy of such records as
      necessary for the Authorized Selling Firm to comply with Section 17(a)
      of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder pertaining to books and records
      required to be kept by a broker dealer.

8.    Audit: The Company and persons authorized by it and any governmental
      -----
      agency having jurisdiction over the Company shall have the right, at
      Company's expense, to conduct an audit of the relevant books, records
      and accounts in the possession of the Authorized Selling Firm upon
      giving reasonable notice of its intent to conduct such an audit. In the
      event of such audit, the Authorized Selling Firm shall give to the party
      requesting the audit reasonable cooperation and access to all books,
      records and accounts necessary to audit during normal business hours.

9.    Right to Contract with Third Parties: Nothing herein shall be deemed to

      to the Company, and the Company retains the right to contract with any
      third party, affiliated or unaffiliated, for the performance of services
      or for the use of facilities as are available to or have been requested
      by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

      The Authorized Selling Firm, unless the Company objects, shall have the
      right to subcontract with any third party, affiliated or unaffiliated,
      for the performance of services requested by the Company under this
      Agreement, provided that the Authorized Selling Firm shall remain
      responsible for the performance of services by any such subcontractors
      in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and provided further
      that the charges for any such services subcontracted to an affiliate
      shall be determined on the basis described in Section 3 above.

10.   Safeguarding Customer Information: The Authorized Selling Firm shall
      ---------------------------------
      implement and maintain appropriate measures designed to meet the
      objectives of Minnesota Statutes Sections 60A.98 and 60A.981 with
      respect to safeguarding the Company's customer information and customer
      information systems. The Authorized Selling Firm shall adjust
      information security programs upon reasonable request of the Company for
      any relevant changes dictated by the Company's assessment of risk
      concerning its customer information and customer information systems.
      Confirming evidence that the Authorized Selling Firm has satisfied its
      obligations under this Agreement shall be made available, during normal
      business hours, for inspection by the Company, any person authorized by

      hereunder which require the exercise of judgment by the Authorized
      Selling Firm, the Authorized Selling Firm shall perform any such service

      and communicates to the Authorized Selling Firm. In performing any
      services hereunder, the Authorized Selling Firm shall at all times act
      in a manner reasonably calculated to be in or not opposed to the
      interests of the Company.

12.   Capacity of Personnel and Status of Facilities: Whenever the Authorized
      ----------------------------------------------
      Selling Firm utilizes its employees or independent contractors to
      perform services for the Company pursuant to this Agreement, such
      personnel shall at all times remain employees or independent contractors

      responsibility of the Authorized Selling Firm. The Company shall have no
      liability to such personnel for their welfare, salaries, fringe
      benefits, legally required employer contributions and tax obligations.
      No facility of the Authorized Selling Firm used in performing services
      for, or subject to use by, the Company shall be deemed to be
      transferred, assigned, conveyed or leased by performance or use pursuant
      to this Agreement. The independent contractor status of any independent
      contractor engaged by the Authorized Selling Firm shall not be affected
      by this Agreement.

      liabilities that would otherwise be applicable. The representations,

      parties, use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent disclosing such
      information to unauthorized or unaffiliated third parties, and not copy
      such information without prior consent or acquiescence of the Releasing
      Party. These restrictions do not apply to information that (i) enters
      into the public domain through no fault or action of the Receiving
      Party, (ii) is obtained from a third party who is under no legal or
      contractual obligation to maintain confidentially of such information,

      governmental agency having regulatory authority over the Company. Upon
      termination, if demanded by the Releasing party, the Receiving Party
      shall within sixty (60) days return to the Releasing Party copies, in
      whatever form or medium, of any material containing Confidential
      Information.
