Tremont shall regularly  provide  investment advice with respect to the Fund and
shall,  subject  to the  terms of this  Agreement,  continuously  supervise  the

Tremont's duties and authority shall include:

     the Fund is the  only  investor  ("Portfolio  Accounts"),  on the  basis of
     various  criteria  relating to their  skills and  ability to execute  their
     investment   programs,   consistent  with  the  Fund's  overall  investment
     objective and strategies;  provided, however, that the Fund's participation
     in Portfolio  Accounts will be subject to approval at least annually by the
     Board,  including  the vote of the  majority  of the  Trustees  who are not
     parties  to this  Agreement  or  "interested  persons"  (as  defined in the
     Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder) 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 of the outstanding  voting  securities of the
     Fund" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act),  subject in such case to
     the  approval by a vote of the majority of the Trustees who are not parties
     to this  Agreement or  "interested  persons" (as defined in the  Investment
     Company Act and the rules  thereunder) of any such party, cast in person at

     foreign or otherwise,  whether affecting the economy generally or the Fund,
     and whether  concerning  the Portfolio  Managers or the activities in which
     such Portfolio Managers engage; and


(E)  Taking such actions  incident to  implementation  of the Fund's  investment
     program,  or  as  otherwise  directed  by  OFI,  including:  (i)  executing

     stockholders or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities or
     other investments for its or their own account or for the account of others
     for whom it or they may be acting,  provided  that such  activities  do not
     adversely  affect or  otherwise  impair the  performance  by Tremont of its
     duties and obligations  under this Agreement and under the Advisers Act and
     further  provided that such activities do not violate any provisions of the
     code of ethics of Tremont governing personal  securities trading by persons
     who are "access persons," as defined by such code, of the Fund.


(b)   Duties of OFI.


Without  limiting the  obligations  of Tremont under this  Agreement,  OFI shall
monitor the investment program maintained by Tremont for the Fund to ensure that
the Fund's assets are invested in compliance  with this Agreement and consistent

6. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE.


     (a)  Tremont 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, including "affiliated" 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  portfolio
          transactions  of the Fund as well as to  obtain,  consistent  with the
          provisions of the subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 6, the benefit of
          such  investment  information  or  research  as may be of  significant
          assistance to the  performance by Tremont of its  investment  advisory
          functions.


     (b)  To the extent  applicable,  Tremont  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.  In such case,  the  abilities  of a
          broker-dealer  to  obtain  best  execution  of  particular   portfolio
          transactions  will be judged by Tremont  on the basis of all  relevant
          factors  and  considerations  including,   insofar  as  feasible,  the
          execution  capabilities  required by the transactions 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
          form or to whom particular  securities or other  investments  might be
          purchased  or  sold;  as well as nay  other  matters  relevant  to the
          selection of a broker-dealer  for particular and related  transactions
          of the Fund.


     (c)  To the  extent  applicable,  Tremont  shall  have  discretion,  in the
          interests  of  the  Fund,  to  allocate  brokerage  on  the  portfolio
          transactions of the Fund to  broker-dealers,  other than an affiliated
          broker-dealer, qualified to obtain best execution of such transactions
          who provide research services (as such services are defined in Section
          28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to Tremont, which may
          assist  Tremont in managing  the assets of the Fund or other  accounts
          for which  Tremont or any affiliate of Tremont  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 the  transaction  would
          have charged for effecting that transaction, if Tremont determines, in
          good faith,  that such  commission  is  reasonable  in relation to the
          value of the of the  broker  or  research  services  provided  by such
          broker-dealer viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or
          the overall responsibilities of Tremont or its affiliates with respect
          to  accounts  as to which  they  exercise  investment  discretion.  In
          reaching such determination,  Tremont will not be required to place or
          attempt to place a specific  dollar value on the brokerage or research
          services  provided  or  being  provided  by  such  broker-dealer.   In
          demonstrating  that  such  determinations  were  made in  good  faith,
          Tremont 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 Board were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

     (d)  Tremont shall have no 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.


     (e)  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, to the extent
          applicable,  Tremont may also consider  sales of Shares as a factor in
          the selection of broker-dealers for its portfolio transactions.

7. COMPENSATION OF TREMONT.


In consideration of the services  provided by Tremont under this Agreement,  OFI
will pay Tremont a monthly fee equal to 50% of the amount of the  Management Fee
earned by OFI pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

8. ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES.

     Tremont shall pay the expenses  incurred by it in providing  services under
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the salaries, employment benefits
and  other  related  costs  of  those  of its  personnel  engaged  in  providing
investment advice to the Fund hereunder,  including, without limitation,  office
space, office equipment, telephone and postage costs and other expenses.


9. USE OF NAME "TREMONT."

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


10.   DURATION.


     This Agreement  will take effect on the date first set forth above.  Unless
earlier terminated  pursuant to paragraph 13 hereof, this Agreement shall remain
in effect for a period of two (2) years from such date and thereafter  from year
to year, so long as such continuance  shall be approved at least annually by the
Board, including the vote of the majority of the Trustees who are not parties to
this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act
and the rules  thereunder) 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 of
the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund" (as defined in the  Investment
Company Act),  subject in such case to the approval by a vote of the majority of
the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or  "interested  persons" (as
defined in the  Investment  Company  Act and the rules  thereunder)  of any such
party,  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on such
approval.


11. LIABILITY OF TREMONT.

     In the  absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence  or
reckless  disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Tremont or
any of its officers,  directors or employees, Tremont shall not be liable to OFI
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with,  rendering services
hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained  in the  purchase,  holding or
sale of any interest in a Portfolio Fund or allocation to any Portfolio Manager.

12. ASSIGNMENT OR AMENDMENT.


     Any  amendment to this  Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be subject
to: (i) the  approval  of the  Board,  including  the vote of a majority  of the
Trustees who are not "interested  persons," as defined by the Investment Company
Act and the rules  thereunder;  (ii) the affirmative  vote or written consent of
the holders of a "majority of the outstanding  voting  securities" of the Fund,"
as defined by the Investment  Company Act, to the extent such a vote of security
holders  is  required  by the  Investment  Company  Act.  This  Agreement  shall
automatically  and immediately  terminate in the event of its  "assignment,"  as
defined in the Investment Company Act.


13.   TERMINATION.

     (a)  Termination by the Fund and Tremont.  This Agreement may be terminated
          at any time, without the payment of any penalty,  by vote of the Board
          or by vote of a majority of the Fund's  outstanding  voting securities
          or Tremont,  on sixty (60) days' written  notice.  The notice provided
          for herein may be waived by the party required to be notified.


     (b)  Assignment.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event
          of its  "assignment," as defined in Section 2 (a) (4) of the 1940 Act.
          In the event of an assignment  that occurs solely due to the change in
          control of Tremont  (provided  that no condition  exists that permits,
          or,  upon  the  consummation  of  the  assignment,  will  permit,  the
          termination of this Agreement by OFI pursuant to  subparagraph  (c) of
          this paragraph  13), OFI and Tremont,  at the sole expense of Tremont,
          shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval
          of a successor  Subadvisory  Agreement on substantially the same terms
          as contained in this Agreement.



     (c)  Termination by OFI. OFI may terminate this Agreement  without  penalty
          and  without  the  payment of any fee or  penalty,  immediately  after
          giving  written  notice,  upon the  occurrence of any of the following
          events:

     1.   Any of Tremont,  its respective  partners,  subsidiaries,  affiliates,
          directors, officers, employees or agents engages in an action or omits
          to take an action that would cause Tremont to be  disqualified  in any
          manner  under  Section  9(a) of the 1940  Act,  if the SEC were not to
          grant an  exemptive  order under  Section  9(c)  thereof or that would
          constitute  grounds  for  the  SEC to  deny,  revoke  or  suspend  the
          registration of Tremont as an investment adviser with the SEC; or


     2.   Tremont breaches the  representations  contained in subparagraphs  (a)
          and  (b) of  paragraph  3 of  this  Agreement  or any  other  material
          provision of this Agreement, and any such breach is not cured within a
          reasonable period of time after notice thereof from OFI to Tremont.

     (d)  Transactions  in  Progress  upon  Termination.  OFI and  Tremont  will
          cooperate   with  each  other  to  ensure  that   portfolio  or  other
          transactions  in progress at the date of termination of this Agreement
          shall  be  completed  by OFI in  accordance  with  the  terms  of such
          transactions,  and to this  end  Tremont  shall  provide  OFI with all
          necessary  information and documentation to secure the  implementation
          thereof.
