FIRST AMENDMENT TO AUTOMATIC YRT AGREEMENT
("AMENDMENT")
Reference is made to the Automatic YRT Reinsurance Agreement, dated effective
August 30, 2005, and identified as Treaty Number ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇ (herein the
"Agreement"), by and between IDS Life Insurance Company ("Ceding Company") and
[name of reinsurance company]. ("Reinsurer"). The undersigned parties hereby
agree that the Agreement shall be and is hereby amended as follows:
1. Exhibit B and Exhibit D of the Agreement are replaced by the
attached Exhibit B and Exhibit D, each marked "Revised January 24,
2006", in order to include coverage under the Agreement for certain
universal life insurance plans as specified in the revised exhibits
(herein "Universal Life Plans"). Coverage under the Agreement for

with the terms of the Agreement. Schedule D-l remains unchanged.

Universal Life Plans with effective dates on or after January 24,
2006 including any policies applied for on or after such date that

Universal Life Plans, the free look period administered by the
Ceding Company will be sixty (60) days.
