to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act")
and the Manager is an investment  adviser registered as such with the Commission

     WHEREAS,  the Fund  desires  that OFI shall act as its  investment  adviser
pursuant to this  Agreement,  which amends and restates the Investment  Advisory
Agreement dated April 16, 1998 by and between the Fund and OFI;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual  promises and  covenants
hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and between the parties, as follows:

1.       General Provisions.

     The Fund hereby  employs the Manager and the Manager  hereby  undertakes to
act as the investment adviser of the Fund and to perform for the Fund such other
duties and functions as are  hereinafter  set forth.  The Manager shall,  in all
matters,  give to the Fund and its Board of  Trustees  the  benefit  of its best
judgment, effort, advice and recommendations and shall, at all times conform to,
and use its best efforts to enable the Fund to conform to (i) the  provisions of
the Investment  Company Act and any rules and regulations  thereunder;  (ii) any
other applicable provisions of state or federal law; (iii) the provisions of the
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund as amended from time to time;  (iv)
policies  and  determinations  of the Board of  Trustees  of the  Fund;  (v) the
fundamental policies and investment restrictions of the Fund as reflected in its
registration  statement  under  the  Investment  Company  Act and in the  Fund's
By-Laws,  or as such  policies  may, from time to time, be amended by the Fund's
shareholders;  and (vi) the  Prospectus of the Fund in effect from time to time.
The  appropriate  officers and employees of the Manager shall be available  upon
reasonable notice for consultations with any of the Trustees and officers of the
Fund with  respect to any matters  dealing  with the business and affairs of the
Fund including the valuation of any of the Fund's portfolio securities which are
either not  registered  for public  sale or not being  traded on any  securities
market.

2.       Investment Management.

     (a) The Manager  shall,  subject to the direction and control by the Fund's
Board of Trustees (i) regularly provide investment advice and recommendations to
the Fund with respect to its investments,  investment  policies and the purchase
and sale of securities;  (ii) supervise  continuously the investment  program of
the Fund and the  composition  of its portfolio and  determine  what  securities
shall be  purchased  or sold by the Fund;  and  (iii)  arrange,  subject  to the
provisions  of paragraph "6" hereof,  for the purchase of  securities  and other
investments for the Fund and the sale of securities and other  investments  held
in the portfolio of the Fund. The Manager shall also conduct  investigations and
research in the  securities  field and  furnish to the Fund's  Board of Trustees
statistical and other factual information and reports on industries,  businesses
or  corporations,  to assist the  Manager  and the Fund's  Board of  Trustees in
furthering the  investment  policies of the Fund; and the Manager shall compile,
for its use and that of the Fund,  and furnish to the Fund's  Board of Trustees,
information  and advice on economic and business  trends,  and render such other
complete  investment  management  services as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the investment of the resources of the Fund through the  acquisition,
holding and disposition of portfolio securities.

     (b)  Provided  that the Fund shall not be required to pay any  compensation
other  than as  provided  by the  terms of this  Agreement  and  subject  to the
provisions  of  paragraph  "6"  hereof,   the  Manager  may  obtain   investment
information,  research or assistance from any other person,  firm or corporation
to supplement, update or otherwise improve its investment management services.

     (c) So long as it shall  have acted  with due care and in good  faith,  the
Manager shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of any  investment,
the adoption of any investment policy, or the purchase, sale or retention of any
security  irrespective  of whether the  determinations  of the Manager  relative
thereto  shall have been  based,  wholly or partly,  upon the  investigation  or
research  of any other  individual,  firm or  corporation  believed  by it to be
reliable.  Nothing herein contained shall,  however, be construed to protect the
Manager  against  any  liability  to the Fund or its  shareholders  by reason of
willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the  performance of its
duties,  or by reason of its reckless  disregard of its  obligations  and duties
under this Agreement.

     (d)  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall  prevent  the Manager or any officer
thereof from acting as investment adviser or performing  management services for
any other person, firm or corporation and shall not in any way limit or restrict
the Manager or any of its directors,  officers,  shareholders  or employees from
buying,  selling or trading any  securities  for its or their own account or for
the  account  of others for whom it or they may be  acting,  provided  that such
activities will not adversely  affect or otherwise impair the performance by the
Manager of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, nor adversely affect
the Fund.

3.       Other Duties of the Manager.

     The Manager shall, at its own expense, provide and supervise the activities
of all executive,  administrative and clerical personnel as shall be required to
provide  effective  administration  for the Fund,  including the compilation and
maintenance  of such records with respect to its operations as may reasonably be
required;  the  preparation  and filing of such reports with respect  thereto as

possession of the United States or any foreign country;  composition of periodic
reports  with  respect  to its  operations  for the  shareholders  of the  Fund;
composition of proxy materials for meetings of the Fund's shareholders;  and the
composition  of such  registration  statements  as may be  required  by  federal

The Manager  shall,  at its own cost and expense,  provide such officers for the
Fund as the Fund's Board may request and shall also provide the Fund's Trustees,
at their request,  with adequate office space,  and normal office  equipment and

as such, and the Manager shall, at its own cost and expense, calculate the daily

4.       Allocation of Expenses to the Fund.

arise,  including  litigation,  affecting  the Fund and the legal  obligation or
right  which the Fund may have to  indemnify  its  officers  and  Trustees  with
respect thereto unless the Fund has the right to recover said indemnity payments
from the  Manager.  Any  officers  or  employees  of the  Manager  or any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager who may also
serve as  officers,  Trustees  or  employees  of the Fund shall not  receive any
compensation by the Fund for their services.

5.       Compensation of the Manager.

     The Fund agrees to pay the Manager and the Manager agrees to accept as full

            0.65% of the next $100 million;
            0.60% of the next $100 million;
            0.55% of the next $100 million; and
            0.50% of net assets in excess of $500 million.

6.       Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

     (a) The Manager will render all services  for the Fund in  connection  with
placing  orders with  brokers and  dealers  for the  purchase,  sale or trade of
securities for the Fund's portfolio.

     (b) The Manager is  authorized,  in arranging  the purchase and sale of the
Fund's portfolio  securities,  to employ or deal with such members of securities
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  Fund's  portfolio
transactions  as well as to obtain,  consistent  with provisions of subparagraph
(c) of this paragraph 6, the benefit of such investment  information or research
as will be of  significant  assistance to the  performance by the Manager of its
investment management functions.

     (c) The Manager 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 the  Manager  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.

     (d) The Manager  shall have  discretion,  in the  interests of the Fund, to
allocate brokerage on the Fund's portfolio transactions to broker-dealers (other
than  affiliated  broker-dealers)  qualified  to obtain best  execution  of such
transactions  and 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  the  Manager  exercises
"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 the Manager 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  Manager's  overall  responsibilities  with  respect  to the
accounts  as to which it  exercises  investment  discretion.  In  reaching  such
determination,  the Manager  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,  the  Manager  shall  be  prepared  to show  that all
commissions were allocated for purposes  contemplated by this Agreement and that
the total commissions paid by the Fund over a representative  period selected by
the Fund's Trustees were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

     (e)  The  Manager  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 its  Board of
Trustees and the provisions of this paragraph 6.

     (f) Transactions with affiliated  broker-dealers are required to conform to
a number of  restrictions  and  conditions:  (1) affiliated  broker-dealers  may
effect  portfolio  transactions  for the Fund only if the  commissions,  fees or
other  remuneration  received  or to be  received  by  them  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; and (2) if required by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934,  affiliated  broker-dealers may not receive  compensation in connection
with any portfolio  transaction  effected on a national  securities exchange for
the Fund if the affiliated  broker-dealers  are members of such exchange  unless
there  is  an  effective   separate  written  contract  between  the  affiliated
broker-dealers  and the Fund expressly  providing  otherwise and which refers to
said Section 11(a) and the rules  promulgated  thereunder  and provides that any
transactions executed on an exchange of which the affiliated  broker-dealers are
members must be executed on the floor of such  exchange by a member which is not
an "associated person" of the affiliated broker-dealers.

7.       Duration.

     This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth above and shall
continue in effect from year to year, unless earlier  terminated by operation of
law, so long as such continuance  shall be approved annually by the Fund's Board
of  Trustees,  including  the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who
are not parties to this Agreement or interested  persons of any such party, cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,  or by
the holders of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund and
by such a vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

8.       Termination.

     This  Agreement  may be  terminated  (i) by the Manager at any time without
penalty by giving 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 the Manager (which notice may be waived by the Manager), provided that
such  termination  by the Fund shall be  directed  or  approved  by the Board of
Trustees  of the  Fund  or by the  vote  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

9.       Assignment or Amendment.

     This  Agreement may not be amended or the rights of the Manager  thereunder
sold,  transferred,  pledged or otherwise in any manner  encumbered  without the
affirmative  vote or written  consent  of the  holders  of the  majority  of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund; this Agreement shall  automatically
and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment.

10.      Disclaimer of Shareholder Liability.

     The  Manager  understands  that  the  obligations  of the Fund  under  this
Agreement  are  not  binding  upon  any  Trustee  or  shareholder  of  the  Fund
personally,  but  bind  only  the  Fund and the  Fund's  property.  The  Manager
represents  that it has notice of the provisions of the  Declaration of Trust of
the Fund disclaiming  Trustee and shareholder  liability for acts or obligations
of the Fund.

11.      Use of Name "Oppenheimer".

     The Manager 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 the Manager's  rights to the name  "Oppenheimer"  under  applicable law,
such license  shall allow the Manager to inspect and,  subject to control by the
Fund's  Board,  control the nature and  quality of services  offered by the Fund
under such name.  Such license  may,  upon  termination  of this  Agreement,  be
terminated by the Manager,  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  by  the  Manager  in  connection  with  any of its
activities, or licensed by the Manager to any other party.

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 and other applicable laws.
