the  Agreement,  OFI shall not be liable for any loss  sustained  by reason of good faith  errors or  omissions  in

adviser for any other  person,  firm or  corporation  and shall not in any way limit or restrict  OFI or any of its
directors,  officers or employees  from buying,  selling or trading any  securities  for its own account or for the

otherwise  impair  the  performance  by OFI of its  duties  and  obligations  under  this  Agreement  and under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

3.       Other Duties of OFI.

5.       Compensation of OFI.

         The Fund  agrees  to pay OFI and OFI  agrees to accept as full  compensation  for the  performance  of all
functions  and  duties on its part to be  performed  pursuant  to the  provisions  hereof,  a fee  computed  on the
aggregate  net assets  value of the Fund as of the close of each  business  day and  payable  monthly at the annual
rates set for the in Appendix A.

6.       Use of Name "Oppenheimer."

         OFI hereby grants to the Fund a royalty-free,  non-exclusive  license to use the name "Oppenheimer" in the
name of the Fund for the  duration  of this  Agreement  and any  extensions  or  renewals  thereof.  To the  extent
necessary to protect OFI's rights to the name  "Oppenheimer"  under applicable law, such license shall allow OFI to
inspect,  and  subject to control  by the Fund's  Board of  Directors,  control  the name and  quality of  services
offered by the Fund under such name. Such license may, upon  termination of this  Agreement,  be terminated by OFI,
in which event the Fund shall  promptly  take whatever  action may be necessary to change its name and  discontinue
any further use of the name  "Oppenheimer"  in the name of the Fund or  otherwise.  The name  "Oppenheimer"  may be
used or licensed by OFI in connection with any of its activities, or licensed by OFI to any other party.

7.       Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

         (a)    OFI is  authorized,  in arranging the Fund's  portfolio  transactions,  to employ or deal with such
members of securities or  commodities  exchanges,  brokers or dealers  including  "affiliated"  broker  dealers (as
that term is defined in the Investment Company Act) (hereinafter  "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 Fund's  portfolio  transactions  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  may  be of  significant  assistance  to  the  performance  by OFI of its
investment management functions.

(b)      OFI shall select  broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio  transactions 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 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 Fund's
portfolio  transactions  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 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 Fund.

         (c)    OFI shall have  discretion,  in the  interests  of the Fund,  to  allocate  brokerage  on the Funds
portfolio  transactions  to  broker-dealers  (other  than  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 Fund and/or other accounts for which OFI and its
affiliates  exercise  "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 such transaction  would have charged for effecting that  transaction,  if OFI 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
and its  investment  advisory  affiliates  with  respect  to the  accounts  as to which  they  exercise  investment
discretion.  In  reaching  such  determination,  OFI 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  shall  be  prepared  to show  that  all
commissions were allocated for the purposes  contemplated by this Agreement and that the total  commissions paid by
the Fund over a  representative  period  selected  by the Fund's  Directors  were  reasonable  in  relation  to the
benefits to the Fund.

         (d)    OFI 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 Fund for
effecting  its  portfolio  transactions  to the extent  consistent  with the  interests and policies of the Fund as
established by the determinations of the Board of Directors and the provisions of this paragraph "7."

         (e)    The Fund  recognizes  that an  affiliated  broker-dealer  (i) may act as one of the Fund's  regular
brokers so long as it is lawful for it so to act; (ii) may be a major  recipient of brokerage  commissions  paid by
the  Fund;  and  (iii) may  effect  portfolio  transactions  for the Fund  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.

8.       Duration.

         This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth above.  Unless earlier terminated  pursuant to
paragraph 9 hereof,  this Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, so long as such  continuance  shall
be approved at least annually in the manner contemplated by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act.

9.       Termination.

         This Agreement may be terminated  (i) by OFI at any time without  penalty upon giving the Fund sixty days'
written  notice  (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) provided that such  termination  by the Fund
shall be directed or  approved by the vote of a majority of all of the  Directors  of the Fund then in office or by
the vote of the holders of a  "majority"  (as defined in the  Investment  Company  Act) of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Fund.

10.      Assignment or Amendment.

         This Agreement may not be amended  without the  affirmative  vote or written consent of the holders of the
"majority" of the outstanding  voting securities of the Fund and shall  automatically and immediately  terminate in
the event of its "assignment," as defined in the Investment Company Act.

11.      Disclaimer of Shareholder Liability.

         OFI  understands  that the  obligations of the Fund under this Agreement are not binding upon any Director
or shareholder  of the Fund  personally,  but bind only the Fund and the Fund's  property.  OFI represents  that it
has notice of the  provisions of the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  disclaiming  shareholder  liability for
acts or obligations of the Fund.

12.      Definitions.

         The terms and provisions of this Agreement  shall be interpreted  and defined in a manner  consistent with
the provisions and definitions of the Investment Company Act.
