         7.       Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage:
                  ------------------------------------

                         (a)  OFI  (and  any  Sub  Advisor)  is  authorized,  in
                    arranging the purchase and sale of the portfolio  securities
                    of the  Company  to  employ or deal  with  such  members  of
                    securities  or  commodities  exchanges,  brokers  or dealers
                    (hereinafter   "broker-dealers"),   including   "affiliated"
                    broker-dealers  (as that term is defined  in the  Investment
                    Company  Act), 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 Company as well as to obtain, consistent
                    with the provisions of subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 7,
                    the benefit of such  investment  information  or research as
                    will be of significant  assistance to the performance by OFI
                    of its investment management functions.

                         (b)  OFI   (and   any   Sub   Advisor)   shall   select
                    broker-dealers  to effect the portfolio  transactions of the
                    Company  on the basis of its  estimate  of their  ability to
                    obtain best  execution of particular  and related  portfolio
                    transactions.  The  abilities of a  broker-dealer  to obtain
                    best execution of particular  portfolio  transaction(s) will
                    be  judged by OFI (or any Sub  Advisor)  on the basis of all
                    relevant factors and  considerations  including,  insofar as
                    feasible,   the  execution   capabilities  required  by  the
                    transaction or transactions;  the ability and willingness of
                    the  broker-dealer to facilitate the portfolio  transactions
                    of the Company by participating therein for its own account;
                    the  importance  to the  Company  of  speed,  efficiency  or
                    confidentiality;  the broker-dealer's  apparent  familiarity
                    with sources from or to whom particular  securities might be
                    purchased or sold; as well as any other matters  relevant to
                    the selection of a broker-dealer  for particular and related
                    transactions of the Company.

                         (c) OFI (and any Sub Advisor) shall have discretion, in
                    the  interest of the Company,  to allocate  brokerage on the
                    portfolio  transactions  of the  Company to  broker-dealers,
                    other than an affiliated broker-dealers, qualified to obtain
                    best execution of such  transactions  who provide  brokerage
                    and/or  research  services (as such  services are defined in
                    Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for
                    the  Company  and/or  other  accounts  for  which OFI or its
                    affiliates  (or  any  Sub  Advisor)   exercise   "investment
                    discretion" (as that term is defined in Section  3(a)(35) of
                    the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934)  and to  cause  the
                    Company  to  pay  such   broker-dealers   a  commission  for
                    effecting a portfolio transaction for the Company that is in
                    excess of the  amount of  commission  another  broker-dealer
                    adequately  qualified to effect such transaction  would have
                    charged for effecting that  transaction,  if OFI (or any Sub
                    Advisor) determines,  in good faith, that such commission is
                    reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage  and/or
                    research services provided by such  broker-dealer  viewed in
                    terms of either that  particular  transaction or the overall
                    responsibilities  of OFI  or  its  affiliates  (or  any  Sub
                    Advisor)  with respect to accounts as to which they exercise
                    investment discretion.  In reaching such determination,  OFI
                    (or any Sub  Advisor)  will  not be  required  to  place  or
                    attempt to place a specific  dollar  value on the  brokerage
                    and/or research  services provided or being provided by such
                    broker-dealer.  In  demonstrating  that such  determinations
                    were made in good faith,  OFI (and any Sub Advisor) shall be
                    prepared to show that all  commissions  were  allocated  for
                    purposes  contemplated  by this Agreement and that the total
                    commissions paid by the Company over a representative period
                    selected  by the  Company's  Directors  were  reasonable  in
                    relation to the benefits to the Company.

                         (d)  OFI (or any  Sub  Advisor)  shall  have no duty or
                    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  Company  for
                    effecting   its   portfolio   transactions   to  the  extent
                    consistent with the interests and policies of the Company as
                    established by the  determinations of the Board of Directors
                    of the Company and the provisions of this paragraph 7.

                         (e)  The   Company   recognizes   that  an   affiliated
                    broker-dealer:  (i) may act as one of the Company's  regular
                    brokers for the Company or a Series thereof so long as it is
                    lawful for it so to act;  (ii) may be a major  recipient  of
                    brokerage  commissions  paid by the  Company;  and (iii) may
                    effect  portfolio  transactions  for the Company or a Series
                    thereof only if the commissions,  fees or other remuneration
                    received  or  to  be  received  by  it  are   determined  in
                    accordance  with   procedures   contemplated  by  any  rule,
                    regulation or order adopted under the Investment Company Act
                    for determining the permissible level of such commissions.
