AMENDMENT TO
                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
The second paragraph of Part Two: COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES, section (1) of the
Administrative Services Agreement between AXP Partners Series, Inc. on behalf of
AXP Partners Select Value Fund and AXP Partners Small Cap Core Fund and American
Express Financial Corporation dated January 10, 2002, is modified as follows.
All other provisions of the agreement remain in full force and effect.
         The administrative fee for each calendar day of each year shall be
         equal to 1/365th (1/366th in each leap year) of the total amount
         computed. The computation shall be made for each day on the basis of
         net assets as of the close of business. In the case of the suspension
         of the computation of net asset value, the administrative fee for each
         day during such suspension shall be computed as of the close of
         business on the last full business day on which the net assets were
         computed. As used herein "net assets" as of the close of a full
         business day shall include all transactions in shares of the Fund
         recorded on the books of the Fund for that day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this amendment as of the 3rd day
of June, 2002.
