      expenses)  arising  out of  SERVICE  PROVIDER's  non-performance  of its
      responsibilities under this Agreement,  or SERVICE PROVIDER's failure to

      losses,  liabilities or expenses are caused by the gross negligence, bad
      faith or willful misconduct of Fund Agent.

      The Fund Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless  SERVICE  PROVIDER from
      any and all claims,  losses,  liabilities  or expenses that it may incur
      (including,   without   limitation,   reasonable   attorneys'  fees  and
      expenses)  arising  out of the  non-performance  of  Fund  Agent  of its
      responsibilities  under this Agreement or its failure to comply with any
      applicable  law,  except to the  extent  such  losses  are caused by the
      negligence,  bad faith or willful  misconduct of SERVICE  PROVIDER,  its
      representatives or affiliates.

      In no event shall the party seeking  indemnification  hereunder  confess
      any claim,  loss,  expense,  or liability or make any  compromise in any
      case in which the other party may be required to  indemnify  without the
      prior  written  consent  of the  party  from  which  indemnification  is
      sought, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

      time by SERVICE  PROVIDER or Fund Agent upon 60 days  written  notice to
      the  other  party.  However,  in the  event of the  termination  of this
      Agreement by SERVICE  PROVIDER,  SERVICE PROVIDER shall, if requested by
      Fund Agent,  continue to provide the Services for up to an additional 60
      days to  enable  Fund  Agent to make  alternative  arrangements  for the
      servicing and maintenance of the Shareholders' Fund  shareholdings,  and
      SERVICE  PROVIDER  will  reasonably   cooperate  in  the  implementation
      thereof.  In the  event of  termination  of this  Agreement  by  SERVICE
      PROVIDER,  SERVICE  PROVIDER shall pay for any and all costs  associated

      shareholdings  to an  alternate  Service  Provider.  The  provisions  of

      receive  payment for  services  rendered up to the date of  termination,
      will  survive   termination   of  this   Agreement.   In  the  event  of
      termination   and  in   addition   to  any   applicable   record-keeping
      obligation,   SERVICE   PROVIDER  agrees  to  maintain  all  Shareholder

Signature Guarantee


General Information
o     Definition: signature guarantee
                  -------------------

o     A signature guarantee is required to process certain redemptions and
                                                           ----------
      all transfers.
          --------

o     More information on signature guarantees is in the prospectus for the
                                                         ----------
      fund and is commonly used in the securities industry to authenticate
      the signature and capacity of a person requesting the redemption or
      transfer of securities. Its use is for the shareholder's protection as
      well as ours.

o     In addition to regular signature guarantees, we accept signature
      guarantees from the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program
      (STAMP) and the Securities Exchange Medallion Stamp (SEMP). Certain
      broker/dealers offer the Medallion signature guarantee.
                               -----------------------------

o     A notarized, witnessed, verified, or certified signature is not an
      acceptable substitute for a guarantee because a notary cannot assume
      financial responsibility in the case of fraud.

   NOTE: Beware of Chemical Bank's stamp. It is not a signature guarantee. It
   says "Signature guaranteed to compare favorably to signature on file."
   This is not the same as a Signature Guarantee.


When A Signature Guarantee Is Required

Redemptions
IMPORTANT: Any redemption up to $100,000 that is being sent to the address of
record and made payable as registered does not require a signature guarantee,
provided the AOR has not changed in the past 30 days.

A signature guarantee is needed from all registered owners in any of the
following situations:

o     If a redemption is for over $100,000. (See IMPORTANT above.)

o     If a redemption check is not going to the address of record.
                               ---

o     If a redemption is requested along with an address change, or if the
      address has changed in prior 30 days.

o     If a redemption check is going to anyone other than all registered
      owners.

o     NOT required for redemptions to AOR requested by either joint owner as
      long as the check is payable to all registered owners, is under
      $100,000, and no address change in prior 30 days.

o     NOT required for redemption requests up to $100,000 when a joint tenant
      has died and the surviving joint tenant requests a redemption to AOR
      and has sent in a photocopy of the death certificate. All other
      requirements remain.


Transfers/Registration Changes
If a transfer or registration change is due to death.
If a transfer or registration change is due to divorce.
If a transfer or registration change is due to marriage.

A signature guarantee is needed from all registered owners in any of the
following situations:
o     All transfers.

o     If there is a name change.

Transfers Under $100,000
For the following situations, a signature guarantee is:
o     NOT required to transfer a Sole Owner account to a Partnership or Sole
      Proprietorship Ownership. The same owner must be named in the new
      registration.

o     NOT required if an equal transfer is done from a Joint Tenant account
      into Sole Owner registrations for the existing owners if the amount
      into each Sole Owner account is $50,000 or less (i.e., the originating
      account has $100,000 or less). We do require all joint tenants'
      signatures. (This also applies to Tenants in Common, Tenants by
      Entirety, and Community Property registrations.)

o     NOT required on a transfer from a Sole Owner or Joint Tenant account to
      a Trust account. The individual or joint tenants must be named as the
      trustee(s) of the trust.

o     NOT required on a transfer from a Sole Owner account to a Joint Tenant
      account. The current owner must be named as 1 of the joint tenants.
      (This also applies to Tenants in Common, Tenants by Entirety, and
      Community Property registrations.)

o     NOT required to transfer and/or redeem to AOR a Uniform Transfer to
      Minor Account (UTMA) up to $100,000 or Uniform Gift to Minor accounts
      (UGMA) account to the minor upon reaching the required age. A photocopy
      of birth certificate is required.


Change of Trustee
A signature guarantee is needed from all registered owners in any of the
following situations:
o     For a trustee-to-trustee transfer if the shareholder is moving the
      account from OppenheimerFunds to another institution and the redemption
      proceeds are over $100,000. (See IMPORTANT above.)

NOTE: We must have Letter of Acceptance from institution.

      identification the guaranteeing institution requires.)
