                 WHEREAS,  the Fund and OFI  agreed,  per a  resolution  of the Fund's  Board of  Trustees  adopted
December 14, 2000, to reduce the Fund's management fee on assets in excess of $1.5 billion;

         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 Provision.

         The Fund hereby  employs OFI and OFI 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.  OFI 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 or 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 or as such  policies may, from time to time,  be amended by the Fund's  shareholders;  and (vi) the  Prospectus
and Statement of  Additional  Information  of the Fund in effect from time to time.  The  appropriate  officers and
employees of OFI shall be available upon reasonable  notice for consultation  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.

2.       Investment Management.

         (a) OFI shall,  subject to the  direction  and  control by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees,  (i)  regularly
provide  investment advice and  recommendations  to the Fund with respect to its investments,  investment  policies
and the purchase and sale of securities;  (ii) supervise  continuously  the investment  program of the Fund and the

terms of this  Agreement  and  subject to the  provisions  of  paragraph  "7"  hereof,  OFI may  obtain  investment
information,  research or assistance from any other person, firm or corporation to supplement,  update or otherwise
improve its investment management 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 the
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 officer  thereof from acting as investment  adviser
for any other person,  firm or corporation  and shall not in any way limit or restrict OFI or any of its directors,
officers or employees  from  buying,  selling or trading any  securities  for its 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

Advisers Act of 1940.

3.       Other Duties of OFI.

5.       Compensation of OFI.

         The Fund  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 of the Fund as of the close of each business day and payable  monthly at the following  annual
rates:

                           0.75% of the first $200 million of aggregate net assets;
                           0.72% of the next $200 million;
                           0.69% of the next $200 million;
                           0.66% of the next $200 million;
                           0.60% of the next $700 million; and
                           0.58% of aggregate net assets over $1.5 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.  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 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 23(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 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 its Board of Trustees 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.

         (f) Subject to the  foregoing  provisions  of this  paragraph  "7",  OFI may also  consider  sales of Fund
shares and shares of other  investment  companies  managed by OFI or its affiliates as a factor in the selection of
broker-dealers for the Fund's portfolio transactions.






 8.      Duration.

         This  Agreement  will take  effect on the date first set forth  above and will  continue  in effect  until
December  31, 2001,  and  thereafter,  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  Trustees 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 a
"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 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.






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.
