Key Terms
These terms can help you understand details about your contract.
Accumulation unit: A measure of the value of each subaccount before annuity payouts begin.
Annuitant: The person or persons on whose life or life expectancy the annuity payouts are based.
Annuity payouts: An amount paid at regular intervals under one of several plans.
Assumed investment rate: The rate of return we assume your investments will earn when we calculate your initial annuity payout amount using the annuity table in your contract. The standard assumed investment rate we use is 5% but you may request we substitute an assumed investment rate of 3.5%.
Beneficiary: The person you designate to receive benefits in case of the owner's or annuitant's deathwhile the contract is in force.
Close of business: The time the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closes (4 p.m. Eastern time unless the NYSE closes earlier).
Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Contract value: The total value of your contract before we deduct any applicable charges.
Contract year: A period of 12 months, starting on the effective date of your contract and on each anniversary of the effective date.
Fixed account: Part of our general account to which you may allocate purchase payments. Amounts you allocate to this account earn interest at rates that we declare periodically.
Funds: A portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in which the Subaccounts invest. May also be referred to as an underlying Fund.
Good order: We cannot process your transaction request relating to the contract until we have received the request in good order at our Service Center. "Good order" means the actual receipt of the requested transaction in writing, along with all information, forms and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. To be in "good order," your instructions must be sufficiently clear so that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions. This information and documentation generally includes your completed request; the contract number; the transaction amount (in dollars); the names of and allocations to and/or from the subaccounts and the fixed account affected by the requested transaction; Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number; and any other information, forms or supporting documentation that we may require. For certain transactions, at our option, we may require the signature of all contract owners for the
request to be in good order. With respect to purchase requests, "good order" also generally includes receipt of sufficient payment by us to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
Owner (you, your): The person or persons identified in the contract as owners(s) of the contract, who has or have the right to control the contract (to decide on investment allocations, transfers, payout options, etc.). Usually, but not always, the owner is also the annuitant. During the owner's life, the owner is responsible for taxes, regardless of whether he or she receives the contract's benefits. The owner or any joint owner may be a non-natural person (e.g. irrevocable trust or corporation) or a revocable trust. If any owner is a non-natural person or revocable trust, the annuitant will be deemed to be the owner for contract provisions that are based on the age or life of the owner. When the contract is owned by a revocable trust or irrevocable grantor trust, the annuitant selected should be the grantor of the trust to assure compliance with Section 72(s) of the Code. Any contract provisions that are based on the age of the owner will be based on the age of the oldest owner. Any ownership change, including continuation of the contract by your spouse under the spousal continuation provision of the contract, redefines "owner", "you" and "your".
Qualified annuity: A contract that you purchase to fund one of the following tax-deferred retirement plans that is subject to applicable federal law and any rules of the plan itself:
Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) (including inherited IRAs) under Section 408(b) of the Code
Roth IRAs (including inherited Roth IRAs) under Section 408A of the Code
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP) plans under Section 408(k) of the Code
Plans under Section 401(k) of the Code
Custodial and investment only plans under Section 401(a) of the Code
Tax-Sheltered Annuities (TSAs) under Section 403(b) of the Code
Plans under Section 457 of the Code
A qualified annuity will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a retirement plan that is already tax deferred.
All other contracts are considered nonqualified annuities.
Retirement date: The date when annuity payouts are scheduled to begin.
Service Center: Our department that processes all transaction and service requests for the Contracts. We consider all transaction and service requests received when they arrive in good order at the Service Center. Any
RiverSource Flexible Annuity - Summary Prospectus 3
transaction or service requests sent or directed to any location other than our Service Center may end up delayed or not processed. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed on the first page of the prospectus.
Subaccount: A division of the Variable Account, each of which invests in one Fund.
Surrender value: The amount you are entitled to receive if you make a full surrender from your contract. It is the contract value immediately prior to the surrender, minus any applicable charges.
Valuation date: Any normal business day, Monday through Friday, on which the NYSE is open, up to the time it closes. At the NYSE close, the next valuation date begins. We calculate the accumulation unit value of each subaccount on each valuation date. If we receive your purchase payment or any transaction request (such as a transfer or surrender request) in good order at our Service Center before the close of business, we will process your payment or transaction using the
accumulation unit value we calculate on the valuation date we received your payment or transaction request. On the other hand, if we receive your purchase payment or transaction request in good order at our Service Center at or after the close of business, we will process your payment or transaction using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the next valuation date. If you make a transaction request by telephone (including by fax), you must have completed your transaction by the close of business in order for us to process it using the accumulation unit value we calculate on that valuation date. If you were not able to complete your transaction before the close of business for any reason, including telephone service interruptions or delays due to high call volume, we will process your transaction using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the next valuation date.
Variable account: Refers to the RiverSource Account F, a separate account established to hold contract owners' assets allocated to the Subaccounts, each of which invests in a particular Fund.

Exchanges
If you already own an annuity or insurance Contract, some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in
place of the one you own. You should only exchange a Contract you already
own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
Contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new Contract rather than
continue to own your existing Contract.
