     WHEREAS, the Trustees established  Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund as a
trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under a Declaration of
Trust dated May 7, 1996,  as amended and  restated as of December  14, 2000 (the
"Declaration of Trust");

     WHEREAS, the Trustees, acting pursuant to paragraph 12 of Article NINTH, of
the  Declaration  of  Trust,  further  amended  the  Declaration  of Trust as of
September 26, 2002;

     WHEREAS,  the Trustees,  pursuant to Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Article FOURTH, of
the Declaration of Trust,  have determined that it is advisable to establish and
designate an additional class of Shares to the Fund;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  pursuant  to  Parts  1,  2 and 3 of  Article  FOURTH  and
paragraph 12 of Article NINTH, of the  Declaration of Trust,  the Declaration of
Trust is supplemented and amended as follows:

     Article  FOURTH Part 2 of the  Declaration  of Trust is amended by deleting
the  second  paragraph  of  said  Part 2 and  replacing  it with  the  following
paragraph:

     "The relative rights and preferences Class A Shares,  Class B Shares, Class
C Shares,  Class N Shares and Class Y Shares  shall be the same in all  respects
except  that,  and  unless  and  until  the Board of  Trustees  shall  determine
otherwise: (i) when a vote of Shareholders is required under this Declaration of
Trust or when a meeting of Shareholders is called by the Board of Trustees,  the
Shares of a Class shall vote exclusively on matters that affect that Class only;
(ii) the  expenses and  liabilities  related to a Class shall be borne solely by
such Class (as  determined and allocated to such Class by the Trustees from time
to time in a manner consistent with Parts 2 and 3 of Article FOURTH);  and (iii)
pursuant to paragraph 10 of Article  NINTH,  the Shares of each Class shall have
such other rights and preferences as are set forth from time to time in the then

Shares. Dividends and distributions on the Class A, Class B and Class C, Class N
and Class Y Shares may differ from the dividends and  distributions on any other
such  Class,  and the net asset  value of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y Shares may differ from the net asset value of any other such Class."

     Article  FOURTH Part 3 of the  Declaration  of Trust is amended by deleting
the  first  paragraph  of  said  Part 3 and  replacing  it  with  the  following
paragraph:

     "3.  Without  limiting the authority of the Trustees set forth in Part 1 of
this Article FOURTH to establish and designate any further Series,  the Trustees
hereby  establish  one Series of Shares  having the same name as the Trust,  and
said Shares shall be divided into five Classes,  which shall be designated Class
A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y Shares.  The Shares of that  Series and
any  Shares  of any  further  Series  or  Classes  that may from time to time be
established and designated by the Trustees shall (unless the Trustees  otherwise
determine  with  respect  to some  further  Series  or  Classes  at the  time of
establishing  and designating  the same) have the following  relative rights and
preferences:"

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  undersigned  has signed this  instrument and has
caused it to be lodged among the records of the Fund on August 10, 2005.
