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.

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.

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.

WHEREAS, the Adviser (or a SubAdviser under the Adviser’s supervision) shall manage the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund's portfolio, including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Fund's registration statement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do mutually agree and promise as follows:

1.           Appointment as SubAdviser.  The Adviser hereby retains the SubAdviser to act as SubAdviser of the Fund to provide investment advice to the Fund as hereinafter set forth, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and the SubAdviser hereby accepts such employment.

2.           Duties of SubAdviser.

(a)           Investments.  The SubAdviser is hereby authorized and directed and hereby agrees, subject to the stated investment policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in the Fund's prospectus, summary prospectus and/or statement of additional information, in each case as currently in effect and as supplemented or amended from time to time (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Prospectus”) and subject to the directions and continuous oversight of the Adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees, to (i) regularly provide investment advice and recommendations to the Fund with respect to the Fund’s investments, investment policies and the purchase and sale of securities and other investments; (ii) supervise continuously  the investment program of the Fund and the composition of its portfolio and determine what securities and other investments shall be purchased or sold by the Fund; and (iii) arrange, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) below, 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 Adviser agrees to provide the SubAdviser with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the SubAdviser in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, information concerning the Fund, its assets available, or to become available, for investment and generally as to the conditions of the Fund or the Fund’s affairs.

(b)           Compliance with Applicable Laws and Governing Documents.  In the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, the SubAdviser shall act in conformity with the Fund's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, procedures and policies adopted by the Board of the Fund and/or by the Adviser and the Prospectus and with the instructions and directions received in writing from the Adviser or the Board of Trustees of the Fund and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations necessary to allow the Fund to qualify as a “regulated investment company” as defined in Subchapter M of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser shall, subject to the SubAdviser’s compliance with its obligations, remain responsible for the Fund’s overall compliance with the 1940 Act, the Code and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

(c)           Brokerage.

(i) 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 part (c) (iii) of section 2 of this Agreement, the benefit of such  investment information or research as may be of significant assistance to the performance by the SubAdviser of its investment management functions.

(ii) the SubAdviser 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 SubAdviser 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.

(iii) the SubAdviser 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 who provide brokerage and/or research services (as such services are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for the Fund and/or other accounts for which the SubAdviser and its affiliates exercise "investment discretion" (as that term is defined in 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 SubAdviser 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 the SubAdviser and its investment advisory affiliates with respect to the accounts as to which they exercise investment discretion.  In reaching such determination, the SubAdviser 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 SubAdviser 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 Board of Trustees were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

(iv) The SubAdviser 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 section 2 (c) of this Agreement."

(d)           Books and Records.  The SubAdviser shall maintain separate detailed records of all matters pertaining to the Fund (the “Fund’s Records”), including, without limitation, brokerage and other records of all securities transactions.  The SubAdviser acknowledges that the Fund’s Records are property of the Fund.  The Fund's Records shall be available to the Fund, the Adviser, the SubAdviser and their respective agents at any time upon reasonable request during normal business hours and shall be available for telecopying without delay to the Adviser during any day that the Fund is open for business.

(e)           Information Concerning the Fund and SubAdviser.  From time to time as the Adviser or the Fund may request, the SubAdviser will furnish the requesting party information and reports on portfolio transactions and reports on Fund assets held in the portfolio, all in such detail, form and frequency as the Adviser or the Fund may reasonably request.

The SubAdviser will also provide the Adviser with notice and analysis of events that may affect or relate to the valuation of the Fund’s portfolio.

(f)           Custody Arrangements.  The SubAdviser shall on each business day provide the Adviser, the Fund and the Fund’s custodian(s) with such information as the Adviser, the Fund and the Fund’s custodian(s) may reasonably request relating to all transactions and portfolio holdings of the Fund.

4.           Expenses.  During the term of this Agreement, SubAdviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement other than the cost of securities and other investments (including brokerage commissions and other transaction charges, if any) purchased or sold for the Fund.  Provided that the Fund shall not be required to pay any compensation other than as provided by the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the SubAdviser may obtain investment information, research or assistance from any other person, firm or corporation to supplement, update or otherwise improve its investment management services.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law, the SubAdviser shall not be responsible for the Fund's or Adviser’s expenses, which shall include, but not be limited to, organizational and offering expenses (which include out-of-pocket expenses, but not overhead or employee costs of the SubAdviser); expenses for legal, accounting and auditing services; taxes and governmental fees; dues and expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; costs of printing and distributing shareholder reports, proxy materials, Prospectuses, stock certificates and distribution of dividends; charges of the Fund’s custodians and sub-custodians, administrators and sub-administrators, registrars, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents and dividend reinvestment plan agents; payment for portfolio pricing services to a pricing agent, if any; registration and filing fees of the SEC; expenses of registering or qualifying securities of the Fund for sale in the various states; freight and other charges in connection with the shipment of the Fund’s portfolio securities; fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees; salaries of shareholder relations personnel; costs of shareholders meetings; insurance; interest; brokerage costs; and litigation and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses.

(jj) do any and all acts on behalf of the Fund as it may deem necessary or advisable in connection with the maintenance and administration of the Fund, and exercise all rights of the Fund, with respect to its interest in any person, including, without limitation, the voting of Securities (including voting of proxies), participation in arrangements with creditors, the institution and settlement or compromise of suits and administrative proceedings and other like or similar matters.


3.  
Liability.

The Sub-Adviser will be liable to the Fund and, without duplication, to the Controlling Fund, as third party beneficiaries hereof, for the losses to the Fund or the Controlling Fund which are the direct result of the Sub-Adviser’s bad faith, gross negligence, wilful default or breach of the express terms of this Agreement. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, neither the Sub-Advisor nor its officers, employees or agents shall be liable hereunder for any act or omission or for any error of judgment in managing the Fund. The Sub-Advisor shall not be responsible for any special, indirect or consequential damages, or any loss incurred by reasons of any act or omission of the Fund or any broker, dealer or custodian used hereunder or any authorised representative of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Fund may have under the federal securities or other applicable law.

4.

OFI Global shall provide the Sub-Advisor with the following information about the Fund:

 
(a)
cash flow estimates on request;
 
(b)
notice of the Fund's "investable funds" by 11:00 a.m. each business day;
 
(c)
as they are modified, from time to time, current versions of the documents and policies referred to in subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) of paragraph 1, above.

5.  
Compensation of the Sub-Advisor.

OFI Global agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor and the Sub-Advisor 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 asset value of the Fund as of the close of each business day and payable monthly by the tenth business day of the following month, at the following annual rate:

0.375% of the first $100 million of net assets;
0.350% of the next $100 million;

0.300% of the next $100 million;
0.275% of the next $100 million;
0.250% of the next $4.5 billion; and
0.240% of the net assets in excess of $5 billion

6.  
Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

 
(a)
The Sub-Advisor is authorised, in arranging the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio investments, to employ or deal with such members of securities or commodities exchanges, brokers or dealers or futures commission merchants (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 the "best execution" (prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable security price obtainable) of the Fund's portfolio transactions.

 
(b)
The Sub-Advisor may effect the purchase and sale of securities (which are otherwise publicly traded) in private transactions on such terms and conditions as are customary in such transactions, may use a broker in such to effect said transactions, and may enter into a contract in which the broker acts either as principal or as agent.

 
(c)
The Sub-Advisor 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 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 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 Sub-Advisor 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 who provide brokerage and/or research services (as such services are defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the  U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for the Fund and/or other accounts for which the Sub-Advisor exercises "investment discretion" (as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(35) of the U.S. 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 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 the Sub-Advisor with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion.  In reaching such determination, the 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, the 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 Directors were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

 
(e)
The 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 minimise 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 6.

7.  
Duration.

This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth above. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof, this Agreement shall remain in effect so long as OFI Global remains the investment advisor for the Fund and for the Controlling Fund.

8.  
Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, in the event the Fund terminates the Advisory Agreement or in the event that the Investment Advisory Agreement between OFI Global and the Controlling Fund is terminated.  This Agreement may also be terminated: (i) for cause or with the consent of the parties, the Fund and the Controlling Fund; (ii) by  OFI Global or the Sub-Advisor at any time without penalty upon sixty days' written notice to the other party, the Fund and the Controlling Fund; or (iii) by the Fund or the Controlling Fund at any time without penalty upon sixty days' written notice to OFI Global and the Sub-Advisor provided that such termination by the Fund or the Controlling Fund, as the case may be, shall be directed or approved by the vote of a majority of all of the directors of the Fund or the Controlling Fund, as the case may be, then in office or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the U.S. Investment Company Act) of the Fund or the Controlling Fund, as the case may be.
