"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.

                  6.       Assignment or Amendment.  Any  amendment to this  Agreement  shall be in writing and
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).

York  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.
