duties or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
OFI shall not be liable for good faith errors or omissions  in  connection  with
any matters to which this Agreement relates.

not in any  way  limit  or  restrict  OFI  or  any of its  directors,  officers,
stockholders or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities for its

Agreement.

at the following annual rates:

                  0.75% of the first $200 million of aggregate net assets;
                  0.72% of the next $200 million of aggregate net assets;
                  0.69% of the next $200 million of aggregate net assets;
                  0.66% of the next $200 million of aggregate net assets;
                  0.60% of the next $4.2 billion of aggregate net assets;
                  0.58% of the aggregate net assets in excess of $5 billion.

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.
