annually by the Board,  including  the vote of the majority of the  Managers who are not parties to this  Agreement

rules  thereunder)  of any such  party,  cast in person  at a  meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on such
approval.

shall be subject to the  approval  of the Board,  including  the vote of a  majority  of the  Managers  who are not
"interested  persons," as defined by the Investment  Company Act and the rules  thereunder.  This  Agreement  shall
automatically  and immediately  terminate in the event of its  "assignment,"  as defined in the Investment  Company
Act and the rules thereunder.

                  7.       Termination.  This  Agreement may be terminated  (i) by OFI at any time without  penalty
upon sixty days' written  notice to the Fund (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).

applicable  to agreements  made and to be performed  entirely  within the State of New York (without  regard to any
conflicts of law principles  thereof).  Any question of  interpretation  of any term or provision of this Agreement
having a  counterpart  in or otherwise  derived from a term or  provision  of the  Investment  Company Act shall be
resolved by reference to such term or provision of the Investment  Company Act and to interpretations  thereof,  if
any, by the United  States  courts or, in the  absence of any  controlling  decision  of any such court,  by rules,
regulations  or orders of the Commission  issued  pursuant to the  Investment  Company Act. In addition,  where the
effect of a requirement  of the  Investment  Company Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement is revised by
rule,  regulation or order of the  Commission,  such provision  shall be deemed to  incorporate  the effect of such
rule, regulation or order.
