EXHIBIT 23.5(B)
SELLING AGREEMENT
This Selling Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between SAFECO
Securities, Inc. ("Distributor") and the undersigned broker-dealer ("Broker-
Dealer") effective as of the date written below.
WHEREAS, Distributor is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD") and is the general distributor and principal underwriter of the
Advisor Class A, Advisor Class B and Advisor Class C Shares ("Load Shares") and
the No-Load Class Shares ("No-Load Shares," and together with the Load Shares,
"Shares") of the SAFECO mutual funds ("Funds") listed in Exhibit A (which
Exhibit A may be amended from time to time by Distributor with notice to Broker-
Dealer);
WHEREAS, Distributor agrees to sell to Broker-Dealer Load Shares that are
purchased by Distributor from the Funds for resale on a best efforts basis by
Broker-Dealer as principal, and Broker-Dealer agrees to tender Load Shares
directly to the Funds or their agent for redemption or repurchase;
WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer is also an investment adviser registered with the SEC
and/or the various states in which it is required to be registered; and
WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer offers its clients, members or customers ("Customers") an
asset allocation program, and Distributor and Broker-Dealer desire that No-Load
Shares of the Funds be offered to Customers through such asset allocation
program;
THEREFORE Distributor and Broker-Dealer agree as follows:
A. LOAD SHARES
1. Distribution of Load Shares. Broker-Dealer shall offer and sell Load Shares
at the public offering price next determined after the order is received, in
accordance with the terms of the then current Trust prospectus and statement of
additional information for Load Shares ("Load Prospectus").
2. Compensation.
(a) Distributor shall provide Broker-Dealer with appropriate compensation
for selling the Load Shares, in accordance with the then current schedule of
dealer compensation which will be available from Distributor upon request and be
set forth in the Load Prospectus. Broker-Dealer will not be entitled to any
concession on the purchase of a Fund's Load Shares through the reinvestment of
any distributions made by such Fund. Such reinvestments will be made at
1
net asset value per share. Purchases of Load Shares made under a cumulative
purchase privilege shall be considered an individual transaction for the purpose
of determining the concession from the public offering price to which Broker-
Dealer is entitled.
(b) Where a Fund has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Plan"), Distributor may elect from time to
time to make payments to Broker-Dealer as provided under such Plan (in addition
to the compensation, if any, provided for in paragraph 2(a) of this Agreement)
for providing distribution and other related services. Such payments shall be
made in the amount set forth in the schedule of distribution payments and
service payments issued by, and available upon request from, Distributor.
Broker-Dealer will not be paid such fees until Distributor has received the
service and distribution fees described in the Load Prospectus for the period in
which Broker-Dealer provides the distribution and other related services.
Broker-Dealer agrees to provide to Distributor at least annually or as required
by the Trust's Board of Trustees a description of the services provided by
Broker-Dealer pursuant to this paragraph.
(c) Upon notice to Broker-Dealer, Distributor or any Fund may from time to
time change, amend or discontinue any discount, concession, distribution payment
or service payment schedule issued by Distributor from time to time and may
issue a new or replacement schedule. Broker-Dealer shall have no vested
interest in any type, amount or rate of discount, concession, distribution or
service payment. Broker-Dealer shall have no claim against Distributor or any
Fund by virtue of any change or diminution in the rate or amount of, or
discontinuance of, discount, concession, distribution or service payment in
connection with the sale of any Load Shares.
3. Redemptions-Repurchases.
(a) Load Shares presented to Distributor for redemption will be redeemed
at the net asset value of such Load Shares in accordance with the Load
Prospectus; provided that redemptions of Load Shares subject to the imposition
of a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC Shares") will be redeemed at the
net asset value of such CDSC Shares, less any applicable contingent deferred
sales charge, as set forth in the Load Prospectus.
(b) Repurchases of Load Shares will be made at the net asset value of such
Load Shares; provided that repurchases of CDSC Shares will be made at the net
asset value of such CDSC Shares, less any applicable contingent deferred sales
charges, as set forth in the Load Prospectus.
(c) Broker-Dealer shall be responsible for determining, in accordance with
the Load Prospectus, whether, and the extent to which, a contingent deferred
sales charge is applicable to a redemption of Load Shares from a customer
account; and Broker-Dealer agrees to present immediately to Distributor any
contingent deferred sales charge to which such redemption was subject. If
Broker-Dealer holds Load Shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge,
it shall
2
have the capability to track and account for such charges; and Distributor
reserves the right, at its discretion, to verify that capability through
inspection of Broker-Dealer's tracking and accounting system or otherwise.
4. Orders.
(a) Distributor will treat all orders as not entitled to any reduced sales
charge beyond that accorded to the amount of the purchase order as determined by
the schedule set forth in the Load Prospectus, unless Broker-Dealer advises
Distributor otherwise in writing when placing the order.
(b) All orders are subject to acceptance and rejection by the Distributor.
Distributor reserves the right in its discretion to suspend sales or to withdraw
the offering of Load Shares of any Fund or classes thereof, in whole or in part,
or to make a limited offering of such Load Shares.
(c) Distributor shall not accept from Broker-Dealer any conditional orders
for Load Shares. Delivery of share certificates, if any, for Load Shares
purchased shall be made by the Funds only against receipt of the purchase price.
If payment for Load Shares purchased is not received within seven days, or any
lesser period as may be required by law, the sale may be canceled forthwith
without any responsibility or liability on Distributor's or the applicable
Fund's part (in which case Broker-Dealer will be responsible for any loss,
including loss of profit, suffered by the Fund resulting from Broker-Dealer's
failure to make payment as aforesaid), or, at Distributor's option, Distributor
may sell the Load Shares ordered back to the Fund (in which case Distributor may
hold Broker-Dealer responsible for any loss including loss of profit suffered by
Distributor resulting from Broker-Dealer's failure to make payment as
aforesaid).
(d) If Broker-Dealer uses telephonic, telex, telegraphic or facsimile
means to transmit orders, exchanges or redemptions on behalf of customers for
Load Shares, Broker-Dealer hereby agrees to indemnify Distributor, the Funds,
SAFECO Asset Management Company ("XXX"), SAFECO Services Corporation ("Transfer
Agent"), and all directors, trustees, officers, and employees of each, for any
loss, injury, damage, expense or liability as a result of Distributor's actions
based on such telephonic, telex, telegraphic or facsimile orders, exchanges or
redemption requests if an order, exchange or redemption request placed by
Broker-Dealer was erroneous or not authentic and Distributor, in good faith acts
on such request, or if Distributor has refused to execute such request for any
reason.
(e) Broker-Dealer shall not withhold placing customers' orders for any
Load Shares so as to profit as a result of such withholding. Broker-Dealer shall
not purchase any Load Shares except for the purpose of covering purchase orders
already received by Broker-Dealer. Broker-Dealer shall not purchase any Load
Shares from Distributor other than for bona fide investment or for the purpose
of covering purchase orders already received. Neither Distributor nor Broker-
3
Dealer shall, as principal, purchase Load Shares from a record holder at a price
lower than the bid price (net asset value per share less any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge) next quoted by or for the issuing Fund.
5. Offering Prices. Upon request, Distributor will furnish Broker-Dealer with
public offering prices for the Load Shares in accordance with the Load
Prospectus; and Broker-Dealer agrees to quote such prices subject to
confirmation by Distributor on any Load Shares offered by Broker-Dealer for
sale.
6. Status. In all sales of Load Shares to the public, Broker-Dealer shall act
in the capacity of independent contractor as a dealer for Broker-Dealer's own
account and in no transaction shall Broker-Dealer have any authority to act or
hold itself out as agent for Distributor, the Trust or any Fund. Nothing in this
Agreement including the use of the words "discount," "concession" or "payment"
shall cause Broker-Dealer to be a partner, employee or agent of the Distributor
or give Broker-Dealer any authority to act for Distributor, the Trust or any
Fund. Neither Distributor, the Trust or any Fund nor any affiliates, directors,
officers, employees or agents of each shall be liable for any obligation, act or
omission of Broker-Dealer, its directors, officers, registered representatives,
employees or agents. Broker-Dealer is solely responsible for training and
supervising its Associated Persons as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Broker-Dealer and its Associated Persons shall be responsible to determine
the suitability of the Funds, and any class thereof, as an investment for its
customers.
7. Refunds. If, within seven business days after confirmation by Distributor
of Broker-Dealer's original purchase order for Load Shares, such Load Shares are
repurchased by the issuing Fund or by Distributor for the account of such Fund
or are tendered for redemption by the customer, (i) Broker-Dealer shall
forthwith refund to Distributor the full discount retained by, or concession
paid to, Broker-Dealer on the original sale pursuant to paragraph 2(a) of this
Agreement and any distribution payments and service payments relating thereto
made to Broker-Dealer pursuant to paragraph 2(b) of this Agreement and (ii)
Distributor shall, as applicable, forthwith pay to such Fund Distributor's share
of the sales charge on the original sale by Distributor, and shall also pay such
Fund the refund received under clause (i). Broker-Dealer shall refund to the
Fund immediately upon receipt the amount of any dividends or distributions paid
to Broker-Dealer as nominee for Broker-Dealer's customers with respect to
redeemed or repurchased Load Shares to the extent that the proceeds of such
redemption or repurchase may include the dividends or distributions payable on
such Load Shares. In the case of certificated Load Shares, Broker-Dealer shall
be notified by Distributor of such repurchase or redemption within ten days of
the date on which a properly executed Share certificate and stock power together
with appropriate supporting papers is delivered to Distributor or to such Fund;
and in the case of uncertificated Load Shares, Broker-Dealer shall be notified
by Distributor of such repurchase or redemption within ten days of such
repurchase or redemption.
