WIXTED TITLE TREASURER EX-99.77E LEGAL 2 ex99-205.txt LITIGATION LETTER LITIGATION A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as putative derivative and class actions against the Manager, OFS and the Distributor, as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (as "Nominal Defendants") including the Fund, 30 present and former Directors or Trustees and 8 present and former officers of the funds. This complaint, initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and amended on March 4, 2005, consolidates into a single action and amends six individual previously-filed putative derivative and class action complaints. Like those prior complaints, the complaint alleges that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of assets of the funds to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Also, like those prior complaints, the complaint further alleges that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders of the funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the funds' investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. The defendants believe that the allegations contained in the Complaints are without merit and that they have meritorious defenses against the claims asserted. The defendants intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously and to contest any claimed liability. The defendants believe that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss.

Any officers or employees of OFI or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with OFI, who may also serve as officers, Directors or employees of the Fund shall not receive any compensation from the Fund for their services. 5. COMPENSATION OF OFI. Each Series 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 each Series 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 and will 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.
