      PROVIDER's  non-performance  of its  responsibilities  under this Agreement,  or
      SERVICE  PROVIDER's  failure to comply with any  applicable  law,  except to the
      extent  any such  claims,  losses,  liabilities  or  expenses  are caused by the

      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.

6.    Termination.  This Agreement may be  terminated,  without  penalty,  at any time

      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   with  the  conversion  of  servicing  and   maintenance  of

      provisions of Paragraphs 3, 5, 11, 13, and 14, and SERVICE  PROVIDER's  right to
      receive  payment  for  services  rendered  up to the date of  termination,  will
      survive  termination  of this  Agreement.  In the  event of  termination  and in

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.

Obtaining a Signature Guarantee Outside the U.S.

      may not be able to obtain signature guarantees from the same institutions as
                                -------------------
      shareholders living in the U.S. Therefore, we will also accept signature
      guarantees from:

|X|   An officer of a foreign bank that has a correspondent bank located in the U.S.

|X|   An officer of a branch of a U.S. commercial bank located outside the U.S.

|X|   An officer or a principal of a branch of a U.S. broker/dealer located outside
                      ---------
            the U.S. who is a member of a principal U.S. securities exchange.
                                                                    --------

      instructions in the presence of the person signing the guarantee. Many
      institutions will not guarantee your signature unless you sign your name in
      their presence. (Be sure to check what type of personal identification the
      guaranteeing institution requires.)

o     To be acceptable, the guarantee must also include the signature of an officer
      or principal of the institution, signing in his or her official capacity. The
      name and title of the officer or principal should be printed beneath his or
      her name.

      instruction (or Stock Power) to the guaranteeing institution and should sign
                      -----------
      in front of the guarantor. (The shareholder should be sure to take the kind of
      personal identification with him or her that the guaranteeing institution
      requires.)

      Mr. John Shareholder
      --------------------
      Signature of Presenter

      SIGNATURE(S) GUARANTEED By:
      Mr. Authorized Officer
      ----------------------
