CLASS Y SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGREEMENT
This agreement, dated as of January 9, 2003, is by and between AXP(R) Partners
Series, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, on behalf of its underlying series
AXP(R) Partners Aggressive Growth Fund, AXP(R) Partners Growth Fund and AXP(R)
Partners U.S. Core Fund (the "Funds"), and American Express Financial Advisors
Inc. ("AEFA"), the principal underwriter of the Funds, for services to be
provided to shareholders of Class Y of the Funds by AEFA and other servicing
agents.
AEFA represents that shareholders consider personal service a significant
factor in their satisfaction with their investment. AEFA represents that fees
paid by the Funds will be used to help shareholders thoughtfully consider their
investment goals and objectively monitor how well the goals are being achieved.
The Funds agrees to pay AEFA 0.10 percent of the net asset value of Class Y.
The Funds agrees to pay AEFA in cash within five (5) business days after the
last day of each month.
AEFA agrees to provide the Funds annually a budget covering its expected costs
and a quarterly report of its actual expenditures. AEFA agrees to meet with
representatives of the Funds at their request to provide information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate its performance under the terms of this
agreement.
This agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than one year so
long as it is reapproved at least annually at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on the agreement by a vote, in person, of the members of the Board
who are not interested persons of the Funds and have no financial interest in
the operation of the agreement, and of all the members of the Board.
This agreement may be terminated at any time without payment of any penalty by
a vote of a majority of the members of the Board who are not interested persons
of the Funds and have no financial interest in the operation of the agreement,
or by AEFA. The agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. This
agreement may be amended at any time provided the amendment is approved in the
same manner the agreement was initially approved and the amendment is agreed to
by AEFA.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
