                3.01         Participant Deferrals.

(a)           Deferral Election.  The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine in respect of each Plan Year:  (i) whether a Participant shall be eligible to make an Annual Participant Deferral; (ii) the items of Eligible Compensation which may be the subject of any Annual Participant Deferral for that Plan Year; (iii) the terms of any Annual Match for that Plan Year; (iv) the terms of any Annual Discretionary Allocation for that Plan Year; and (v) any other terms and conditions applicable to the Annual Participant Deferral.  The Participant’s election shall be evidenced by an Annual Election Form completed and submitted to the Committee in accordance with the procedures and time frames as may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The amounts deferred by a Participant in respect of services rendered during a

6

Plan Year shall be referred to collectively as an Annual Participant Deferral and shall be credited to an Annual Deferral Account established in the name of the Participant.  A separate Annual Deferral Account shall be established and maintained for each Annual Participant Deferral.

(b)           Minimum and Maximum Deferrals.  The Committee may from time to time designate a minimum or maximum deferral amount or percentage applicable to Participants with respect to a given Plan Year.

(c)           Deferral Designations.  A Participant may designate the amount of the Annual Participant Deferral to be deducted from his or her Eligible Compensation as specified in the applicable Annual Enrollment Materials for a given Plan Year, which may provide for deferrals to be expressed as either a percentage or a fixed dollar amount of a specified item of Eligible Compensation expected by the Participant, as determined by the Committee.  If a Participant designates the Annual Participant Deferral to be deducted from any item of Eligible Compensation as a fixed dollar amount and such fixed dollar amount exceeds the amount of such item of Eligible Compensation actually payable to the Participant, the entire amount of such item of Eligible Compensation shall be withheld.

                3.02         Annual Match.  A Participant may be credited with a discretionary matching allocation in respect of any Plan Year, pursuant to and as described in the Annual Enrollment Materials for such Plan Year.  Such discretionary matching allocation credited to a Participant in respect of a Plan Year shall be referred to as the Annual Match for that Plan Year and shall be credited to an Annual Match Account in the name of the Participant.  A separate Annual Match Account shall be established and maintained for each Annual Match.  The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine in respect of each Plan Year and each Participant:  (a) whether any Annual Match shall be made; (b) the Participant(s) who shall be entitled to such Annual Match; (c) the amount of such Annual Match; (d) the date(s) on which any portion of such Annual Match shall be credited to each Participant’s Annual Match Account; (e) the vesting terms applicable to such Annual Match; (f) the Investment Option(s) that shall apply to such Annual Match; and (g) any other terms and conditions applicable to such Annual Match.

7

                3.04         Investment Options.

(a)           The Committee shall establish from time to time the Investment Option(s) that will be available under the Plan.  At any time, the Committee may, in its discretion, add one or more additional Investment Options under the Plan, and in connection with any such addition, may permit Participants to select from among the then-available Investment Options under the Plan to measure the value of such Participants’ Plan Accounts.  In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may discontinue any Investment Option at any time, and provide for the portions of Participants’ Plan Accounts and future deferrals designated to the discontinued Investment Option to be reallocated to another Investment Option(s).

(b)           Subject to such limitations, operating rules and procedures as may from time to time be required by law; imposed by the Committee, the Trustee or their designated agents; contained elsewhere in the Plan; or set forth in any Annual Enrollment Materials, each Participant may communicate to the Investment Agent a direction (in accordance with this Section 3.04) as to how his or her Plan Accounts should be deemed to be invested among the Investment Options made available by the Committee; provided, however, that a Participant’s ability to select Investment Options with respect to his or her Annual Match Account and Annual Discretionary Allocation Account is subject to, and may be limited by, the Committee’s discretion under Sections 3.02 and 3.03 to designate the Investment Options that shall apply to all or a portion of such Annual Match Account or Annual Discretionary Allocation Account.  The Participant’s investment directions shall designate the percentage (in any whole percent multiples, which must total 100%) of the portion of the subsequent contributions to the Participant’s Plan Accounts which is requested to be deemed to be invested in such Investment Options, and shall be subject to the rules set forth below.  The Investment Agent shall invest the assets of the Participant’s Plan Accounts in accordance with the directions of the Participant except to the extent that the Committee directs it to the contrary.  The Committee has the authority, but not the requirement, in its sole and absolute discretion, to direct that a Participant’s Plan Accounts be invested among such investments as it deems appropriate and advisable, which investments need not be the same for each Participant.

(c)           Any initial or subsequent investment direction shall be in writing to the Investment Agent on a form supplied by the Company, or, as permitted by the Investment Agent, may be by oral designation or electronic transmission designation to the Investment Agent.  A designation shall be effective as of the Designation Date next following the date the direction is received and accepted by the Investment Agent or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, subject to the Committee’s right to override such direction.  The Participant may, if permitted by the Committee, make an investment direction to the Investment Agent for his or her existing Plan Accounts as of a Designation Date and a separate investment direction to the Investment Agent for contribution credits to his or her Plan Accounts occurring after the Designation Date.

(d)           All amounts credited to a Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be invested in accordance with the then effective investment direction, unless the Committee directs otherwise.  Unless otherwise changed by the Committee, an investment direction shall remain in effect until the Participant’s Plans Accounts are distributed or forfeited in their entirety, or until a subsequent investment direction is received and accepted by the Investment Agent.

8

(e)           If a Participant files an investment direction with the Investment Agent for his or her existing Plan Accounts as of a Designation Date which is received and accepted by the Investment Agent and not overridden by the Committee, then the Participant’s existing Plan Accounts shall be deemed to be reallocated as of the next Designation Date (or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable) among the designated investment funds according to the percentages specified in such investment direction; provided, however, that a Participant’s ability to change the Investment Options applicable to his or her Annual Match Account and Annual Discretionary Allocation Account are subject to, and may be limited by, the Committee’s discretion under Sections 3.02 and 3.03 to designate the Investment Options that shall apply to all or a portion of such Annual Match Account or Annual Discretionary Allocation Account.  Unless otherwise changed by the Committee, an investment direction shall remain in effect until the Participant’s Plan Accounts are distributed or forfeited in their entirety, or until a subsequent investment direction is received and accepted by the Investment Agent.

(f)            The Committee, in its sole discretion, may place limits on a Participant’s ability to make changes with respect to any Investment Options.  In addition, in no event shall a Participant who is a Reporting Person be permitted to allocate any portion of his or her Plan Accounts to the Company Stock Fund more frequently than quarterly.

(g)           If the Investment Agent receives an initial or subsequent investment direction with respect to Plan Accounts which it deems to be incomplete, unclear or improper, or which is unacceptable for some other reason (determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Investment Agent), the Participant’s investment direction for such Plan Accounts then in effect shall remain in effect (or, in the case of a deficiency in an initial investment direction, the Participant shall be deemed to have filed no investment direction) until the Participant files an investment direction for such Plan Accounts acceptable to the Investment Agent.

(h)           If the Investment Agent does not possess valid investment directions covering the full balance of a Participant’s Plan Accounts or subsequent contributions thereto (including, without limitation, situations in which no investment direction has been filed, situations in which the investment direction is not acceptable to the Investment Agent under Section 3.04(g), or situations in which some or all of the Participant’s designated investments are no longer permissible Investment Options), the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that the undesignated portion of the Plan Accounts be invested in a money-market fund or similar short-term investment fund; provided, however, the Committee may provide for the undesignated portion to be allocated to or among the Investment Option(s) that the Participant did designate in the same proportion as the designated portion, or may provide for any other allocation method it deems appropriate, in its discretion.

(i)            None of the Company, its directors and employees (including, without limitation, each member of the Committee), and the Trustee, and their designated agents and representatives, shall have any liability whatsoever for the investment of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, or for the investment performance of a Participant’s Plan Accounts.  Each Participant hereunder, as a condition to his or her participation hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and employees (including, without limitation, each member of the Committee), and the Trustee, and their designated agents and representatives, from any losses or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, lost opportunity costs) relating to

9

the investment of a Participant’s Plan Accounts.  The Investment Agent shall have no liability whatsoever for the investment of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, or for the investment performance of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, other than as a result of the failure to follow a valid and effective investment direction.  Each Participant hereunder, as a condition to his or her participation hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investment Agent, and its agents and representatives, from any losses or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, lost opportunity costs) relating to the investment of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, other than as a result of the failure to follow a valid and effective investment direction.

(j)            The Participant’s Annual Match Accounts and Annual Discretionary Allocation Accounts for each Plan Year shall be treated for purposes of this Section 3.04 as separate from the Annual Deferral Accounts for that Plan Year.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Annual Enrollment Materials, a Participant may only provide investment directions with respect to all of his or her Annual Deferral Accounts.

                3.05         Adjustment of Plan Accounts.  While a Participant’s Plan Accounts do not represent the Participant’s ownership of, or any ownership interest in, any particular assets, the Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with the Investment Option(s), subject to the conditions and procedures set forth herein or established by the Committee from time to time.  Any notional cash earnings generated under an Investment Option (such as interest and cash dividends and distributions) shall, at the Committee’s sole discretion, either be deemed to be reinvested in that Investment Option or reinvested in one or more other Investment Option(s) designated by the Committee.  All notional acquisitions and dispositions of Investment Options under a Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be deemed to occur at such times as the Committee shall determine to be administratively feasible in its sole discretion and the Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be adjusted accordingly.  In addition, a Participant’s Plan Accounts may be adjusted from time to time, in accordance with procedures and practices established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to reflect any notional transactional costs and other fees and expenses relating to the deemed investment, disposition or carrying of any Investment Option for the Participant’s Plan Accounts.  Adjustments made in accordance herewith shall be referred to as Investment Adjustments.

3.06         FICA and Other Taxes.

(a)           Annual Deferral Amounts.  For each Plan Year in which an Annual Participant Deferral is being withheld from a Participant or in which an Annual Match or Annual Discretionary Allocation credited on behalf of a Participant vests, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from the Participant’s other compensation payable by the Employer(s) to the Participant, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes.  If the Committee determines that such portion may not be sufficient to cover the amount of the applicable withholding, then the Committee may reduce the Annual Participant Deferral to the extent necessary, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, for the Participant’s Employer to comply with applicable withholding requirements.

(b)           Distributions.  The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under the Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee

10

of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust.

3.07         Vesting.

(a)           Forfeiture of Unvested Amounts.  As of the date of a Participant’s Termination of Employment (other than a Retirement), the amounts credited to each of the Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be reduced by the amount which has not become vested in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth below and in the Annual Enrollment Materials applicable to such Plan Account, and such unvested amounts shall be forfeited by the Participant.

(b)           Vesting of Amounts.  A Participant shall be vested in all amounts credited to his or her Annual Deferral Account as of the date such amounts are credited to such Participant’s Annual Deferral Account.  The Participant shall be vested in his or her Annual Match Account and Annual Discretionary Allocation Account in respect of each given Plan Year as set forth in the Annual Enrollment Materials for such Plan Year.  The vesting terms of Annual Match Accounts and Annual Discretionary Allocation Accounts set forth in the Annual Enrollment Materials shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion and may vary for each Participant and each Plan Year.

(c)           Vesting upon Death, Disability or Retirement Eligibility.  In the event of the death or Disability of a Participant, or upon a Participant becoming Retirement Eligible, all amounts credited to any and all Plan Accounts of such Participant as of the effective date of such death, Disability or Retirement Eligibility shall become immediately 100% vested.

(d)           Vesting upon Change in Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, all amounts credited to any and all Plan Accounts of each Participant as of the effective date of such Change in Control shall become immediately 100% vested

(e)           Vesting upon Plan Termination.  In the event of a termination of the Plan as it relates to any Participant, all amounts credited to any and all Plan Accounts of such Participant as of the effective date of such termination shall be 100% vested.

(f)            Acceleration of Vesting by Committee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any Annual Election Form or any Annual Enrollment Materials, the Committee shall have the authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of any amounts credited to any Plan Account of any Participant.

Article 4

Suspension of Deferrals

11

upon the date of approval.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not have any right to approve a request for suspension of deferrals if such approval (or right to approve) would cause the Plan to fail to comply with, or cause a Participant to be subject to a tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

                4.02         Disability.  From and after the date that a Participant is deemed have suffered a Disability, any standing deferral election of the Participant shall automatically be suspended and no further deferrals shall be made with respect to the Participant.

                4.03         Resumption of Deferrals.  If deferrals by a Participant have been suspended during a Plan Year due to an Unforeseeable Emergency or a Disability, the Participant will not be eligible to make any further deferrals in respect of that Plan Year.  The Participant may be eligible to make deferrals for subsequent Plan Years provided the Participant is selected to make deferrals for such subsequent Plan Years and the Participant complies with the election requirements under the Plan.

5.07         Withdrawal in the Event of an Unforeseeable Emergency.  In the event that a Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee to receive a partial or full payout of amounts credited to one or more of the Participant’s Plan Accounts.  The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the requested payout shall be made, the amount of the payout and the Plan Accounts from which the payout will be made; provided, however, that the payout shall not exceed the lesser of the Participant’s Aggregate Vested Balance or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution.  In making its determination under this Section 5.07, the Committee shall be guided by the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any other related prevailing legal authorities and the Committee shall take into account the extent to which a Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by the liquidation by the Participant of his or her assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).  If, subject to the sole discretion of the Committee, the petition for a payout is approved, the payout shall be made within 90 days of the date of approval.

                5.08         Limited Withdrawal in the Event of Taxation.  If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a Participant may petition the Committee before a Change in Control, or the trustee of the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of the state, local or foreign taxes owed on that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable.  Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, a Participant’s Employer shall, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the state, local and foreign taxes owed on the portion of the Participant’s benefit that has become taxable (which amount shall not exceed a Participant’s unpaid Aggregate Vested Balance under the Plan).  If the petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted.  Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the benefits to be paid under the Plan.

5.09         Valuation of Plan Accounts Pending Distribution.  To the extent that the distribution of any portion of any Plan Account is deferred, whether pursuant to the limitations imposed under this Article 5 or for any other reason, any amounts remaining to the credit of the Plan Account shall continue to be adjusted by the applicable Investment Adjustments in accordance with Article 3.

5.10         Form of Payment.  Distributions under the Plan shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, in its discretion, that any distribution attributable to the portion of a Plan Account that is deemed invested in the Company Stock Fund shall be paid in shares of Company Stock; provided, further, that any shares of Company Stock paid out under the Plan will be deemed to have been distributed under the Ameriprise Financial 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan or any successor thereto and will count against the limit on the number of shares of Company Stock available for distribution thereunder.

Article 6
Leave of Absence

6.01         Paid Leave of Absence.  If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the appropriate amounts shall continue to be withheld from the Participant’s compensation pursuant to the Participant’s then current Annual Election Form.

6.02         Unpaid Leave of Absence.  If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Participant shall be excused from making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence expires or the Participant returns to a paid employment status.  Upon such expiration or return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year.  If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

Article 7
Termination, Amendment or Modification

7.01         Termination.  Although an Employer may anticipate that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future.  Accordingly, each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan and to terminate the Plan, at any time, with respect to its participating Employees by action of its board of directors.  In addition, the Company may at any time terminate an Employer’s participation in the Plan.  Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to any Employer, subject to Section 5.09, all amounts credited to each of the Plan Accounts of each affected Participant shall be 100% vested and shall be paid to the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s estate, in a lump sum notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, and the Annual Election Forms relating to each of the Participant’s Plan Accounts shall terminate upon full payment of such Aggregate Vested Balance, except that neither the Company nor any  Employer shall have any right to so accelerate the payment of any amount to the extent such right would cause the Plan to fail to comply with, or cause a Participant to be subject to a tax under, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

7.02         Amendment.  The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part with respect to any or all Employers by the actions of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Aggregate Vested Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, (b) no amendment or modification may be made if such amendment or modification would cause the Plan to fail to comply with, or cause a Participant to be subject to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and (c) except as specifically provided in Section 7.01, no amendment or modification shall be made after a Change in Control which adversely affects the vesting, calculation or

15

payment of benefits hereunder or diminishes any other rights or protections any Participant would have had but for such amendment or modification, unless each affected Participant consents in writing to such amendment.

7.03         Effect of Payment.  The full payment of the applicable benefit under the provisions of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or her estate under the Plan and each of the Participant’s Annual Election Forms shall terminate.

Article 8
Administration

8.01         Committee Duties.  This Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  Members of the Committee may be Participants under the Plan.  The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to (a) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and (b) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of the Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan.  Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself.  When making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant or the Company.

8.02         Agents.  In the administration of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to any Employer.

8.03         Binding Effect of Decisions.  The decision or action of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

8.04         Indemnity of Committee.  All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee, and any Employee to whom duties of the Committee may be delegated, against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to the Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee or any of its members or any such Employee.

8.05         Employer Information.  To enable the Committee to perform its functions, each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as the Committee may reasonably require.

Article 9
Claims Procedures

9.01         Presentation of Claim.  Any Participant or the estate of a deceased Participant (such Participant or estate being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such

16

Claimant from the Plan.  If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such notice was received by the Claimant.  The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.  All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred.  The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.

9.02         Notification of Decision.  The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a reasonable time, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

(a)           that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or

9.03         Review of a Denied Claim.  Within 60 days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with the Committee a written request for a review of the denial of the claim.  Thereafter, but not later than 30 days after the review procedure began, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

(a)           may review pertinent documents;

(b)           may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

(c)           may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

9.05         Arbitration.  A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any arbitration with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.  Any and all claims that are not resolved to the satisfaction of a Claimant under the above provisions of this Article 9 shall be subject to arbitration conducted in the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, and shall be administered by, and pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Unless otherwise provided herein each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with such arbitration and the parties shall contribute equally the arbitrator’s fees.  The arbitrator’s decision in any dispute shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to appeal or judicial review.

Article 10
Trust

10.01       Establishment of the Trust.  The Company may establish one or more Trusts to which the Employers may transfer such assets as the Employers determine in their sole discretion to assist in meeting their obligations under the Plan.

10.02       Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust.  The provisions of the Plan and the relevant Annual Enrollment Materials shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan.  The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust.

10.03       Distributions from the Trust.  Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement.

Article 11
Miscellaneous

11.01       Status of Plan.  The Plan is intended to be (a) a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code and (b) a plan that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employee” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1).  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.  All Plan Accounts and all credits and other adjustments to such Plan Accounts shall be bookkeeping entries only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of amounts to be paid under the Plan.  No Plan Accounts, credits or other adjustments under the Plan shall be interpreted as an indication that any benefits under the Plan are in any way funded.

18

11.02       Section 409A of the Code.  It is intended that the Plan (including all amendments thereto) comply with provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any benefits accrued hereunder in a taxable year prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or made available to the Participants.  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.  Notwithstanding the terms of Article 5, to the extent that a distribution to a Participant who is a Specified Employee at the time of Termination Employment is required to be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, distribution shall be made no earlier than the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, “Specified Employee” shall mean a key employee as defined under Section 409A of the Code and Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) of the Company (or a controlled group member); the determination of Specified Employees will be based upon a 12-month period ending December 31st of each year, and Participants who are Specified Employees during such 12-month period will be treated as Specified Employees for the 12-month period beginning the next following April 1st.

11.03       Unsecured General Creditor.  Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of an Employer.  For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of an Employer’s, assets, shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Employer.  An Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

11.04       Other Benefits and Agreements.  The benefits provided for a Participant under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant’s Employer.  The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

11.05       Employer’s Liability.  An Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Annual Election Form, as entered into between the Employer and a Participant.  An Employer shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and his or her Annual Election Form.

11.06       Nonassignability.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

11.07       Prior Beneficiary Designations Void.  Any beneficiary designations made under the Plan or any predecessor arrangement thereto shall be null and void, and of no effect as of the

19

effective date hereof.  Following the death of a Participant, any payments to be made to the Participant shall be made to such Participant’s estate.

11.08       Not a Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of the Plan and the Annual Election Form under the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant.  Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement.  Nothing in the Plan or any Annual Election Form shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer as an Employee or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

11.09       Furnishing Information.  A Participant will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

11.10       Terms.  Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

11.11       Captions.  The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

11.12       Governing Law.  Subject to ERISA, the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

11.13       Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the address below:

                                                Ameriprise Financial, Inc.

                                                Minneapolis, Minnesota 55474

                                                Attn:  Vice President, Benefits

                                with a copy to:

                                                General Counsel’s Office

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or the receipt for registration or certification.

20

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.

11.14       Successors.  The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

11.15       Spouse’s Interest.  The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.

                11.16       Validity.  In case any provision of the Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

                11.17       Incompetent.  If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under the Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person.  The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s estate, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

                11.18       Insurance.  The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in their sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose.  The Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance.  The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employers have applied for insurance.

                11.19       Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control.  The Company and each Employer is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board or the board of directors of the Participant’s Employer (which might then be composed of new members) or a stockholder of the Company or the Participant’s Employer, or of any successor corporation might then cause or attempt to cause the Company or the Participant’s Employer or such successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to cause the Company or the Participant’s Employer to institute, or may institute, arbitration or litigation seeking to deny Participants the benefits intended under the Plan.  In these circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could be frustrated.  Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control, it should appear to any Participant that the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any

21

agreement thereunder or, if the Company, such Employer or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any arbitration, litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company and the Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to retain counsel of his or her choice at the expense of the Company and the Employer (who shall be jointly and severally liable) to represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of any arbitration, litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction; provided, however, that in the event that the trier in any such legal action determines that the Participant’s claim was not made in good faith or was wholly without merit, the Participant shall return to the Company any amount received pursuant to this Section 11.19.
