the names "Main  Street"  and  "Oppenheimer"  in the name of the Fund or  otherwise.  The names "Main  Street" and
"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  (and  any Sub  Advisor)  is  authorized,  in  arranging  the  purchase  and  sale of the
portfolio  securities  and other  investments  of the Fund to employ or deal with such  members  of  securities  or
commodities exchanges,  brokers or dealers (hereinafter  "broker-dealers"),  including "affiliated"  broker-dealers
(as that term is defined in the  Investment  Company  Act), 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 portfolio  transactions of the Fund as well as to obtain,  consistent
with the  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 (and any Sub Advisor) of its investment
management functions.

                  (b)  OFI  (and  any  Sub  Advisor)  shall  select   broker-dealers   to  effect  the  portfolio
transactions  of the Fund 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 (or any Sub  Advisor) 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 portfolio  transactions of the
Fund 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 or
other  investments  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 (and any Sub Advisor)  shall have  discretion,  in the interest of the Fund, to allocate
brokerage on the portfolio  transactions  of the Fund 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 or its affiliates (or any Sub Advisor)  exercise  "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 (or any Sub Advisor)  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 the overall  responsibilities  of OFI or its affiliates
(or any Sub Advisor) with respect to accounts as to which they exercise  investment  discretion.  In reaching such
determination,  OFI (or any Sub  Advisor)  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 (and any Sub Advisor) 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 (or any Sub  Advisor)  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 the Board of Trustees of the Fund 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 for the Fund 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 to be within the permissible level of such commissions.

                  ---------
