                      OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.

                            For Class C Shares of

            Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc., on behalf of it series,
                   Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund

This Amended and Restated  Distribution  and Service Plan and  Agreement  (the
"Plan")  is  dated  as of the  18th  day of  February,  2004,  by and  between
Oppenheimer  Series  Fund,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  on behalf  of its  series,
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund (the "Fund") and  OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,
Inc. (the "Distributor").  This Amended and Restated  Distribution and Service
Plan and Agreement  replaces the  Distribution  and Service Plan and Agreement
for Class C shares dated February 12, 1998.

1.    The Plan. This Plan is the Fund's written  distribution and service plan
      --------
for Class C shares of the Fund (the  "Shares"),  designed  to comply  with the
provisions  of Rule 12b-1 as it may be amended  from time to time (the "Rule")
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  Pursuant to this
Plan the Fund will  compensate the  Distributor for its services in connection
with the  distribution of Shares,  and the personal service and maintenance of
shareholder  accounts  that  hold  Shares  ("Accounts").  The  Fund may act as
distributor  of  securities  of which it is the issuer,  pursuant to the Rule,
according  to the terms of this Plan.  The terms and  provisions  of this Plan
shall be interpreted  and defined in a manner  consistent  with the provisions
and definitions contained in (i) the Fund's Registration  Statement,  (ii) the
1940 Act, (iii) the Rule,  (iv) Rule 2830 of the Conduct Rules of the National
Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.,  or any  applicable  amendment or
successor  to such rule (the  "NASD  Conduct  Rules")  and (v) any  conditions
pertaining   either  to   distribution-related   expenses  or  to  a  plan  of
distribution  to which the Fund is  subject  under any order on which the Fund
relies,  issued at any time by the U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC").

2.    Definitions.  As used in this Plan,  the following  terms shall have the
      -----------
following meanings:

      (a) "Recipient" shall mean any broker,  dealer,  bank or other person or
entity which: (i) has rendered assistance  (whether direct,  administrative or
both) in the  distribution  of Shares or has provided  administrative  support
services  with  respect to Shares  held by  Customers  (defined  below) of the
Recipient;  (ii) shall  furnish the  Distributor  (on behalf of the Fund) with
such information as the Distributor  shall  reasonably  request to answer such
questions  as may  arise  concerning  the sale of  Shares;  and (iii) has been
selected by the Distributor to receive payments under the Plan.

      (b)  "Independent  Directors"  shall mean the  members of the  Company's
Board of Directors  who are not  "interested  persons" (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the Company and who have no direct or indirect  financial  interest in
the operation of this Plan or in any agreement relating to this Plan.
      (c)  "Customers"  shall  mean  such  brokerage  or  other  customers  or
investment  advisory or other  clients of a Recipient,  and/or  accounts as to
which  such  Recipient  provides  administrative  support  services  or  is  a
custodian or other fiduciary.

      (d) "Qualified  Holdings"  shall mean, as to any  Recipient,  all Shares
owned  beneficially  or of  record  by:  (i)  such  Recipient,  or  (ii)  such
Recipient's  Customers,  but in no event shall any such Shares be deemed owned
by more than one  Recipient  for purposes of this Plan. In the event that more
than one person or entity  would  otherwise  qualify as  Recipients  as to the
same  Shares  with  respect to the  payment of the  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge
and/or the Service Fee (defined  below),  the Recipient which is the dealer of
record on the Fund's books as  determined by the  Distributor  shall be deemed
the Recipient as to such Shares for purposes of this Plan.

3.    Payments  for  Distribution   Assistance  and  Administrative  Support
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Services.

      (a) Payments to the  Distributor.  In consideration of the payments made
          ----------------------------
by the Fund to the Distributor  under this Plan, the Distributor shall provide
administrative  support services and  distribution  services to the Fund. Such
services include distribution  assistance and administrative  support services
rendered in  connection  with Shares (1) sold in  purchase  transactions,  (2)
issued in  exchange  for shares of another  investment  company  for which the
Distributor serves as distributor or  sub-distributor,  or (3) issued pursuant
to a plan of  reorganization  to  which  the  Fund is a  party.  If the  Board
believes that the  Distributor may not be rendering  appropriate  distribution
assistance or  administrative  support services in connection with the sale of
Shares,  then the Distributor,  at the request of the Board, shall provide the
Board  with  a  written  report  or  other  information  to  verify  that  the
Distributor  is  providing  appropriate  services  in this  regard.  For  such
services, the Fund will make the following payments to the Distributor:

            (i)  Administrative  Support Service Fees.  Within forty-five (45)
                 ------------------------------------
days of the end of each calendar  quarter,  the Fund will make payments in the
aggregate  amount of 0.0625%  (0.25% on an annual basis) of the average during
that calendar  quarter of the aggregate net asset value of the Shares computed
as of the close of each  business day (the  "Service  Fee").  Such Service Fee
payments  received from the Fund will compensate the Distributor for providing
administrative  support services with respect to Accounts.  The administrative
support  services in connection  with  Accounts may include,  but shall not be
limited to, the  administrative  support  services that a Recipient may render
as described in Section 3(b)(i) below.

            (ii) Distribution  Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge). The
                 --------------------------------------------------------
Fund may make payments of an  "Asset-Based  Sales Charge" of up to 0.0625% per
month  (0.75%  on an  annual  basis) of the  average  during  the month of the
aggregate net asset value of Shares  computed as of the close of each business
day.  Such  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge  payments  received  from the Fund will
compensate  the   Distributor   for  providing   distribution   assistance  in
connection with the sale of Shares.

            The  distribution  assistance  services  to  be  rendered  by  the
Distributor  in  connection  with the  Shares  may  include,  but shall not be
limited  to,  the  following:  (i) paying  sales  commissions  to any  broker,
dealer,  bank or other person or entity that sells Shares,  and/or paying such
persons  "Advance  Service Fee  Payments"  (as  defined  below) in advance of,
and/or in amounts  greater  than,  the amount  provided for in Section 3(b) of
this Agreement;  (ii) paying  compensation to and expenses of personnel of the
Distributor who support distribution of Shares by Recipients;  (iii) obtaining
financing or  providing  such  financing  from its own  resources,  or from an
affiliate,  for the interest and other  borrowing  costs of the  Distributor's
unreimbursed  expenses  incurred  in  rendering  distribution  assistance  and
administrative  support  services to the Fund;  and (iv) paying  other  direct
distribution   costs,   including  without   limitation  the  costs  of  sales
literature,  advertising  and  prospectuses  (other  than  those  prospectuses
furnished to current holders of the Fund's shares  ("Shareholders")) and state
"blue sky" registration expenses.

      (b) Payments to  Recipients.  The  Distributor  is authorized  under the
          -----------------------
Plan  to  pay  Recipients  (1)  distribution  assistance  fees  for  rendering
distribution  assistance  in  connection  with the sale of Shares  and/or  (2)
service fees for  rendering  administrative  support  services with respect to
Accounts.  However,  no such  payments  shall be made to any Recipient for any
quarter in which its Qualified  Holdings do not equal or exceed, at the end of
such quarter, the minimum amount ("Minimum Qualified Holdings"),  if any, that
may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent  Directors.  All
fee payments  made by the  Distributor  hereunder  are subject to reduction or
chargeback so that the aggregate  service fee payments and Advance Service Fee
Payments do not exceed the limits on payments to  Recipients  that are, or may
be, imposed by the NASD Conduct Rules.  The Distributor may make Plan payments
to any "affiliated  person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Distributor if
such  affiliated  person  qualifies as a Recipient or retain such  payments if
the Distributor qualifies as a Recipient.

            In  consideration  of the  services  provided by  Recipients,  the
Distributor shall make the following payments to Recipients:

            (i)  Service  Fee.  In  consideration  of  administrative  support
                 ------------
services  provided by a Recipient during a calendar  quarter,  the Distributor
shall  make  service  fee  payments  to  that  Recipient   quarterly,   within
forty-five  (45) days of the end of each  calendar  quarter,  at a rate not to
exceed  0.0625%  (0.25% on an annual basis) of the average during the calendar
quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of Shares,  computed as of the close
of each business day,  constituting  Qualified  Holdings owned beneficially or
of record by the  Recipient or by its  Customers for a period of more than the
minimum period (the "Minimum  Holding  Period"),  if any, that may be set from
time to time by a majority of the Independent Directors.

            Alternatively,  the Distributor may, at its sole option,  make the
following service fee payments to any Recipient  quarterly,  within forty-five
(45)  days of the end of each  calendar  quarter:  (A)  "Advance  Service  Fee
Payments"  at a rate not to exceed  0.25% of the average  during the  calendar
quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of Shares,  computed as of the close
of business on the day such Shares are sold,  constituting Qualified Holdings,
sold by the Recipient during that quarter and owned  beneficially or of record
by the Recipient or by its Customers,  plus (B) service fee payments at a rate
not to exceed  0.0625%  (0.25% on an annual  basis) of the average  during the
calendar  quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of Shares,  computed as of
the  close  of  each  business  day,  constituting  Qualified  Holdings  owned
beneficially  or of record by the  Recipient or by its  Customers for a period
of more than one (1) year. At the Distributor's  sole option,  Advance Service
Fee  Payments may be made more often than  quarterly,  and sooner than the end
of the calendar  quarter.  In the event Shares are redeemed less than one year
after the date such Shares were sold,  the  Recipient is obligated to and will
repay the  Distributor  on demand a pro rata portion of such  Advance  Service
Fee Payments,  based on the ratio of the time such Shares were held to one (1)
year.

            The  administrative  support services to be rendered by Recipients
in connection with the Accounts may include,  but shall not be limited to, the
following:  answering routine inquiries  concerning the Fund, assisting in the
establishment  and  maintenance  of accounts or  sub-accounts  in the Fund and
processing Share redemption  transactions,  making the Fund's investment plans
and dividend payment options  available,  and providing such other information
and services in connection with the rendering of personal  services and/or the
maintenance  of  Accounts,  as the  Distributor  or the  Fund  may  reasonably
request.

            (ii)  Distribution  Assistance  Fee  (Asset-Based  Sales  Charge)
                  ------------------------------------------------------------
Payments.  Irrespective of whichever  alternative method of making service fee
--------
payments  to  Recipients  is  selected by the  Distributor,  in  addition  the
Distributor shall make distribution  assistance fee payments to each Recipient
quarterly,  within  forty-five  (45)  days  after  the  end of  each  calendar
quarter,  at a rate not to exceed  0.1875%  (0.75% on an annual  basis) of the
average  during the  calendar  quarter  of the  aggregate  net asset  value of
Shares  computed as of the close of each business day  constituting  Qualified
Holdings  owned  beneficially  or of record by the  Recipient or its Customers
for a period  of more than one (1) year.  Alternatively,  at its sole  option,
the Distributor may make  distribution  assistance fee payments to a Recipient
quarterly,  at the rate  described  above,  on Shares  constituting  Qualified
Holdings  owned  beneficially  or of record by the  Recipient or its Customers
without  regard to the 1-year  holding period  described  above.  Distribution
assistance fee payments  shall be made only to Recipients  that are registered
with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration.

            The  distribution  assistance to be rendered by the  Recipients in
connection  with the sale of Shares may include,  but shall not be limited to,
the  following:  distributing  sales  literature and  prospectuses  other than
those furnished to current Shareholders,  providing compensation to and paying
expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the  distribution of Shares
by the  Recipient,  and  providing  such other  information  and  services  in
connection with the  distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may
reasonably request.

      (c) A  majority  of the  Independent  Directors  may at any time or from
time to time  (i)  increase  or  decrease  the  rate of fees to be paid to the
Distributor  or to any  Recipient,  but not to exceed  the  maximum  rates set
forth above,  and/or (ii) direct the  Distributor  to increase or decrease any
Minimum  Holding  Period,  any  maximum  period  set  by  a  majority  of  the
Independent  Directors  during which fees will be paid on Shares  constituting
Qualified  Holdings owned  beneficially  or of record by a Recipient or by its
Customers (the "Maximum Holding Period"),  or Minimum Qualified Holdings.  The
Distributor  shall notify all  Recipients of any Minimum  Qualified  Holdings,
Maximum  Holding Period and Minimum  Holding Period that are  established  and
the rate of payments  hereunder  applicable to  Recipients,  and shall provide
each  Recipient  with written  notice within thirty (30) days after any change
in  these  provisions.  Inclusion  of  such  provisions  or a  change  in such
provisions  in  a  supplement  or  Statement  of  Additional   Information  or
amendment  to or  revision  of  the  prospectus  or  Statement  of  Additional
Information of the Fund shall constitute sufficient notice.

      (d) The  Service  Fee and the  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge on Shares  are
subject to reduction or  elimination  under the limits that apply to such fees
under the NASD Conduct Rules relating to sales of shares of open-end funds.

      (e) Under  the Plan,  payments  may also be made to  Recipients:  (i) by
OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  ("OFI")  from its own  resources  (which may  include
profits  derived from the advisory fee it receives from the Fund),  or (ii) by
the  Distributor  (a  subsidiary  of  OFI),  from  its  own  resources,   from
Asset-Based  Sales Charge payments or from the proceeds of its borrowings,  in
either case, in the discretion of OFI or the Distributor, respectively.

      (f)  Recipients  are  intended  to have  certain  rights as  third-party
beneficiaries  under this Plan, subject to the limitations set forth below. It
may be presumed  that a Recipient  has  provided  distribution  assistance  or
administrative  support  services  qualifying for payment under the Plan if it
has Qualified  Holdings of Shares that entitle it to payments  under the Plan.
If either the  Distributor  or the Board  believe  that,  notwithstanding  the
level of Qualified  Holdings,  a Recipient  may not be  rendering  appropriate
distribution   assistance   in   connection   with  the  sale  of   Shares  or
administrative  support services for Accounts,  then the  Distributor,  at the
request of the Board,  shall require the Recipient to provide a written report
or other  information to verify that said  Recipient is providing  appropriate
distribution  assistance and/or services in this regard. If the Distributor or
the  Board of  Trustees  still is not  satisfied  after  the  receipt  of such
report,  either may take appropriate steps to terminate the Recipient's status
as a  Recipient  under  the  Plan,  whereupon  such  Recipient's  rights  as a
third-party  beneficiary  hereunder shall  terminate.  Additionally,  in their
discretion  a majority  of the Fund's  Independent  Directors  at any time may
remove any  broker,  dealer,  bank or other  person or entity as a  Recipient,
whereupon  such  person's  or  entity's  rights as a  third-party  beneficiary
hereof  shall  terminate.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this Plan,
this Plan  does not  obligate  or in any way make the Fund  liable to make any
payment  whatsoever  to any  person  or  entity  other  than  directly  to the
Distributor.  The  Distributor  has no  obligation  to pay any Service Fees or
Distribution  Assistance  Fees to any  Recipient  if the  Distributor  has not
received  payment of Service  Fees or  Distribution  Assistance  Fees from the
Fund.

4.    Selection and Nomination of Trustees.  While this Plan is in effect, the
      ------------------------------------
selection  and  nomination  of persons to be  Directors of the Company who are
not "interested persons" of the Company  ("Disinterested  Directors") shall be
committed to the discretion of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.  Nothing
herein shall prevent the incumbent  Disinterested  Directors  from  soliciting
the views or the  involvement  of others in such  selection or  nomination  as
long as the final  decision on any such  selection and  nomination is approved
by a majority of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.

5.    Reports.  While this Plan is in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the  Company
      -------
shall  provide  written  reports  to  the  Company's  Board  for  its  review,
detailing  the  aggregate  amount of  payments  made  under  this Plan and the
purpose  for which the  payments  were made.  The  reports  shall be  provided
quarterly,  and shall state  whether all  provisions of Section 3 of this Plan
have been complied with.

6.    Related  Agreements.  Any  agreement  related  to this Plan  shall be in
      -------------------
writing and shall  provide that:  (i) such  agreement may be terminated at any
time,  without  payment  of  any  penalty,  by a  vote  of a  majority  of the
Independent  Directors or by a vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the Fund's  outstanding  voting Class C shares;  (ii) such
termination  shall be on not more than sixty days' written notice to any other
party to the agreement;  (iii) such agreement shall automatically terminate in
the  event of its  "assignment"  (as  defined  in the  1940  Act);  (iv)  such
agreement  shall go into effect  when  approved by a vote of the Board and its
Independent  Directors  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of
voting on such agreement;  and (v) such agreement shall,  unless terminated as
herein  provided,  continue  in effect  from year to year only so long as such
continuance is specifically  approved at least annually by a vote of the Board
and its  Independent  Directors  cast in person at a  meeting  called  for the
purpose of voting on such continuance.

7.    Effectiveness,  Continuation,  Termination  and Amendment.  This Amended
      ---------------------------------------------------------
and  Restated  Plan  has  been  approved  by a  vote  of  the  Board  and  its
Independent  Directors and replaces the Fund's prior  Distribution and Service
Plan and  Agreement  for  Class C shares.  Unless  terminated  as  hereinafter
provided,  it  shall  continue  in  effect  until  renewed  by  the  Board  in
accordance  with the Rule and thereafter from year to year or as the Board may
otherwise  determine  but  only so long as such  continuance  is  specifically
approved  at  least  annually  by a vote  of the  Board  and  its  Independent
Directors  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on
such continuance.

      This  Plan may not be  amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount of
payments  to be  made  under  this  Plan,  without  approval  of the  Class  C
Shareholders at a meeting called for that purpose and all material  amendments
must be approved by a vote of the Board and of the Independent Directors.

      This Plan may be  terminated  at any time by a vote of a majority of the
Independent  Directors  or by the  vote of the  holders  of a  "majority"  (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund's  outstanding  Class C voting shares. In
the event of such termination,  the Board and its Independent  Directors shall
determine  whether the Distributor  shall be entitled to payment from the Fund
of all or a portion of the Service Fee and/or the Asset-Based  Sales Charge in
respect of Shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination.

8.    Disclaimer  of  Shareholder  and  Director  Liability.  The  Distributor
      -----------------------------------------------------
understands  that the  obligations of the Fund under this Plan are not binding
upon any  Trustee or  shareholder  of the Fund  personally,  but bind only the
Fund and the Fund's  property.  The Distributor  represents that it has notice
of the  provisions  of the  Declaration  of  Trust  of  the  Fund  disclaiming
Director and shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Fund.
