Agreement,  OFI shall not be liable  for good  faith  errors or  omissions  in

            0.60% of aggregate net assets in excess of $800 million.

6.    Use of Name "Oppenheimer."

      OFI hereby grants the Fund a royalty-free,  nonexclusive  license to use
the  name  "Oppenheimer"  in the name of the  Fund  for the  duration  of this
Agreement  and any  extensions  or renewals  thereof.  Such license may,  upon
termination of this  Agreement,  be terminated by OFI, in which event the Fund
shall  promptly take  whatever  action may be necessary to change its name and
discontinue any further use of the name  "Oppenheimer" in the name of the Fund
or  otherwise.  The  name  "Oppenheimer"  may be  used or  licensed  by OFI in
connection with any of its activities or licensed by OFI to any other party.

7.    Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

      (a)  OFI is  authorized,  in  arranging  the  purchase  and  sale of the
Fund's  portfolio  securities,   to  employ  or  deal  with  such  members  of
securities   exchanges,    brokers   or   dealers,    including   "affiliated"
broker-dealers  (as  that  term is  defined  in the  Investment  Company  Act)
(hereinafter  "broker-dealers"),  as may, in its best judgment,  implement the
policy of the Fund to obtain,  at  reasonable  expense,  the "best  execution"
(prompt  and  reliable   execution  at  the  most  favorable   security  price
obtainable)  of the  Fund's  portfolio  transactions  as  well  as to  obtain,
consistent  with  provisions of  subparagraph  "(c)" of this paragraph "7" the
benefit of such  investment  information or research as will be of significant
assistance to the performance by OFI of its investment management functions.

      (b) OFI shall  select  broker-dealers  to effect  the  Fund's  portfolio
transactions  on the basis of its  estimate  of their  ability to obtain  best
execution of particular and related portfolio  transactions.  The abilities of
a   broker-dealer   to  obtain  best   execution   of   particular   portfolio
transaction(s)  will be judged by OFI on the basis of all relevant factors and
considerations  including,  insofar as feasible,  the  execution  capabilities
required by the  transaction or  transactions;  the ability and willingness of
the   broker-dealer  to  facilitate  the  Fund's  portfolio   transactions  by
participating  therein  for its own  account;  the  importance  to the Fund of
speed,   efficiency   or   confidentiality;   the   broker-dealer's   apparent
familiarity  with  sources  from or to whom  particular  securities  might  be
purchased or sold; as well as any other  matters  relevant to the selection of
a broker-dealer for particular and related transactions of the Fund.

      (c)  OFI  shall  have  discretion,  in the  interests  of the  Fund,  to
allocate  brokerage on the Fund's  portfolio  transactions to  broker-dealers,
other than  affiliated  broker-dealers,  qualified to obtain best execution of
such  transactions  who provide  brokerage  and/or research  services (as such
services  are defined in Section  28(e)(3) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934) for the Fund and/or other  accounts for which OFI exercises  "investment
discretion"  (as that term is defined in Section  3(a)(35)  of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934)  and to cause  the  Fund to pay such  broker-dealers  a
commission  for  effecting  a  portfolio  transaction  for the Fund that is in
excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer  adequately qualified
to effect such transaction  would have charged for effecting that transaction,
if OFI  determines,  in good faith,  that such  commission  is  reasonable  in
relation to the value of the brokerage  and/or research  services  provided by
such broker-dealer,  viewed in terms of either that particular  transaction or
OFI's  overall  responsibilities  with  respect to the accounts as to which it
exercises  investment  discretion.  In reaching such  determination,  OFI will
not be  required to place or attempt to place a specific  dollar  value on the
brokerage  and/or  research  services  provided  or  being  provided  by  such
broker-dealer.  In demonstrating  that such  determinations  were made in good
faith,  OFI shall be prepared to show that all commissions  were allocated for
purposes  contemplated by this Agreement and that the total  commissions  paid
by the Fund over a representative  period selected by the Fund's Trustees were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

      (d) OFI shall have no duty or  obligation  to seek  advance  competitive
bidding for the most favorable  commission  rate  applicable to any particular
portfolio  transactions  or to select  any  broker-dealer  on the basis of its
purported or "posted"  commission  rate but will,  to the best of its ability,
endeavor  to be  aware  of the  current  level  of  the  charges  of  eligible
broker-dealers  and to minimize the expense incurred by the Fund for effecting
its portfolio  transactions  to the extent  consistent  with the interests and
policies  of the Fund as  established  by the  determinations  of its Board of
Trustees and the provisions of this paragraph "7."

      (e) The Fund  recognizes  that an affiliated  broker-dealer  (i) may act
as one of the  Fund's  regular  brokers  so long as it is lawful  for it so to
act; (ii) may be a major recipient of brokerage  commissions paid by the Fund;
and  (iii)  may  effect  portfolio  transactions  for  the  Fund  only  if the
commissions,  fees or other remuneration  received or to be received by it are
determined in accordance with procedures  contemplated by any rule, regulation
or order adopted under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 for determining the
permissible level of such commissions.

8.    Duration.

      This  Agreement  will take  effect on the date set forth  above.  Unless
earlier  terminated  pursuant to  paragraph  9 hereof,  this  Agreement  shall
remain  in  effect  from year to year,  so long as such  continuance  shall be
approved at least annually by the Fund's Board of Trustees  including the vote
of the  majority  of the  Trustees  of the  Fund who are not  parties  to this
Agreement or "interested  persons" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act)
of any such  party,  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of
voting on such approval,  or by the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the
Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding  voting securities of the Fund and
by such a vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

9.    Termination.

      (a) This  Agreement  may be  terminated  (i) by OFI at any time  without
penalty upon giving the Fund sixty days'  written  notice (which notice may be
waived by the  Fund);  or (ii) by the Fund at any time  without  penalty  upon
sixty  days'  written  notice  to OFI  (which  notice  may be  waived  by OFI)
provided  that such  termination  by the Fund shall be directed or approved by
the vote of a majority  of all of the  Trustees  of the Fund then in office or
by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding  voting securities
of the Fund.

      (b) This  Agreement  may not be amended  or the rights of OFI  hereunder
sold,  transferred,  pledged or otherwise in any manner encumbered without the
affirmative  vote or written  consent of the  holders of the  majority  of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund; this Agreement shall  automatically
and immediately  terminate in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the
Investment Company Act.

10.   Shareholder Liability.

      OFI  understands  and agrees that the obligations of the Fund under this
Agreement  are not  binding  upon  any  Trustee  or  shareholder  of the  Fund
personally,  but bind only the Fund and the Fund's  property.  OFI  represents
that it has notice of the  provisions of the  Declaration of Trust of the Fund
disclaiming  Trustee and shareholder  liability for acts or obligations of the
Fund.

11.   Definitions.

      The terms and  provisions of this  Agreement  shall be  interpreted  and
defined in a manner  consistent  with the  provisions  and  definitions of the
Investment Company Act.
