agreements  with  other  affiliated  or  unaffiliated   registered  investment
advisors to obtain specialized services.

            (c) Provided  that  nothing  herein shall be deemed to protect OFI
from willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
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.

            (d)  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall  prevent  OFI or any entity
controlling,  controlled  by or under  common  control with OFI or any officer
thereof  from  acting as  investment  adviser  for any other  person,  firm or
corporation  or in any way  limit  or  restrict  OFI or any of its  directors,
officers,  stockholders  or  employees  from  buying,  selling or trading  any
securities  or other  investments  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
OFI of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

      3.    Other Duties of OFI:
            -------------------







            OFI  shall,  at  its  own  expense,   provide  and  supervise  the

      5.    Compensation of OFI:
            -------------------







            The  Trust  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 total
net asset value of the Fund as of the close of each  business  day and payable
monthly at the annual rate for each Series set forth on Schedule A hereto.

5.    Use of Name "Oppenheimer" or "Rochester":
      ----------------------------------------

            OFI  hereby  grants  to the  Trust a  royalty-free,  non-exclusive
license to use the name  "Oppenheimer" or "Rochester" in the name of the Trust
or 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"  or "Rochester"  under  applicable law, such license shall allow
OFI to inspect  and,  subject to control by the  Trust'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
Trust shall promptly take whatever  action may be necessary to change its name
and  discontinue any further use of the name  "Oppenheimer"  or "Rochester" in
the name of the Trust or otherwise.  The name  "Oppenheimer"  and  "Rochester"
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 (and any Sub  Advisor) is  authorized,  in  arranging  the
purchase and sale of the portfolio  securities  and other  investments  of the
Fund 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 Fund 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 (and any Sub Advisor) of its (their) investment  management
functions.







            (b) OFI (and  any Sub  Advisor)  shall  select  broker-dealers  to
effect the portfolio  transactions of the Fund 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 Fund 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 or other  investments  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  (and  any Sub  Advisor)  shall  have  discretion,  in the
interests of the Fund, to allocate brokerage on the portfolio  transactions of
the Fund to broker-dealers, other than an affiliated broker-dealer,  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 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 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
(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 Fund  over a  representative  period
selected by the Fund's  Trustees  were  reasonable in relation to the benefits
to the Fund.

            (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 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 Trust 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  for the Fund 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  renumeration  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 to
be within the permissible level of such commissions.







8.    Duration:
