its duties,  or reckless  disregard of its  obligations  and duties under this
Agreement,  OFI shall not be liable for any loss  sustained  by reason of good
faith  errors or  omissions  in  connection  with any  matters  to which  this
Agreement relates.

                  .35% of the net assets in excess of $1 billion

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 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  and 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  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 purchase and sale of
the  Fund's  portfolio  securities,  to employ or deal  with such  members  of
securities  or  commodities   exchanges,   brokers  or  dealers   (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 will 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 interest 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  who provide  brokerage  and/or research  services (as such
services  are defined in Section  28(e)(3) 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  or  its  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 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.

            (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
Trustees of the Fund and the provisions of this paragraph 7.


8.          Duration.

            This  Agreement  will  take  effect  on the date  first  set forth
above.  Unless  earlier  terminated  pursuant  to  paragraph  10 hereof,  this
Agreement  shall remain in effect until December 31, 1991, and thereafter will
continue in effect  from year to year,  so long as such  continuance  shall be
approved at least  annually by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees,  including  the
vote of the  majority of the  Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this
Agreement or "interested  persons" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act)
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" (as defined in the
Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding  voting securities of the Fund and
by such a vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

 9.         Disclaimer of Shareholder Liability.


            OFI  understands and agrees 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;  OFI  represents
that it has notice of the  provisions of the  Declaration of Trust of the Fund
disclaiming shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Fund.


10.         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)
provided  that such  termination  by the Fund shall be directed or approved by
the vote of a majority  of all of the  Trustees  of the Fund then in office or
by  the  vote  of the  holders  of a  "majority"  of  the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company Act).


11.         Assignment or Amendment.


            This  Agreement  may not be amended or the rights of OFI hereunder
sold,  transferred,  pledged or otherwise in any manner encumbered without the
affirmative  vote or written  consent of the  holders of a  "majority"  of the
outstanding   voting   securities   of  the   Fund.   This   Agreement   shall
automatically  and immediately  terminate in the event of its "assignment," as
defined in the Investment Company Act.


12.         Definitions.

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