FEE SCHEDULES
Safeco Services shall receive from each class of each series
(collectively, "Fund") of the Trust an annual fee equal to $32 per account,
which amount shall be calculated on a monthly basis (by averaging the number of
shareholder accounts at the beginning and end of each month) and shall be billed
and paid monthly. Safeco Services shall apply as a credit against the fee due
from any Fund the amount of any "small account" maintenance fee charged and
collected by Safeco Services from any shareholder account, as disclosed in the
Fund's prospectus(es).
With respect to any omnibus account maintained by a financial intermediary which
is providing shareholder services under a written sub-administration agreement
with Safeco Services, the annual fee will be calculated based upon the average
number of underlying individual shareholder accounts comprising the omnibus
account.
