primary investment objective is current income exempt from federal income tax. The Fund&#146;s secondary objective is the enhancement of portfolio value through selection of tax-exempt bonds and municipal market sectors. The Fund seeks to achieve
its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of municipal securities, a significant portion of which Nuveen Asset Management (&#147;NAM&#148;), the Fund&#146;s investment adviser, believes are underrated and undervalued, based upon its
bottom-up, research-driven investment strategy. NAM believes its value oriented strategy offers the opportunity to construct a well diversified portfolio of municipal securities that has the potential to outperform major municipal market benchmarks
over the longer term. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Undervalued municipal securities are securities that, in NAM&#146;s opinion, are worth more than the value assigned to them in the marketplace. NAM believes its value oriented strategy offers the opportunity to construct a well diversified portfolio
of municipal securities that has the potential to outperform major municipal market benchmarks over the longer term. A municipal security&#146;s market value generally will depend upon its form, maturity, call features, and interest rate, as well as

instruments, including municipal securities, have experienced periods of extreme illiquidity and volatility since the latter half of 2007. General market uncertainty and consequent repricing risk have led to market imbalances of sellers and buyers,
which in turn have resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in a variety of debt securities, including municipal securities, and significant and rapid value declines in certain instances. These conditions resulted, and in many cases continue
to result in, greater price volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many debt securities remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. These market conditions may make valuation of some of the
Fund&#146;s municipal securities uncertain and/or result in sudden and significant value declines in its holdings. In addition, illiquidity and volatility in the credit markets may directly and adversely affect the setting of dividend rates on the

Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, when market interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa. Interest rate risk is the risk that the municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in
market interest rates. As interest rates decline, issuers of municipal securities may prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities and potentially reducing the Fund&#146;s income. As interest
rates increase, slower than expected principal payments may extend the average life of securities, potentially locking in a below-market interest rate and reducing the Fund&#146;s value. In typical market interest rate environments, the prices of
longer-term municipal securities generally fluctuate more than prices of shorter-term municipal securities as interest rates change. Because the Fund will invest primarily in long-term municipal securities, the Common Stock net asset value and
market price per share will fluctuate more in response to changes in market interest rates than if the Fund invested primarily in shorter-term municipal securities. Because the values of lower-rated and comparable unrated debt securities are
affected both by credit risk and interest rate risk, the price movements of such lower grade securities in response to changes in interest rates typically have not been highly correlated to the fluctuations of the prices of investment grade quality
securities in response to changes in market interest rates. The Fund&#146;s use of leverage, as described herein, will tend to increase Common Stock interest rate risk. See &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Interest Rate Risk.&#148; </FONT></P>

changes in federal income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt status of interest income from municipal securities. Additionally, the Fund is not a suitable investment for individual retirement accounts, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred

inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust (sometimes called a &#147;tender option bond trust&#148;) formed by a third party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. See &#147;The
Fund&#146;s Investments&#151;Municipal Securities&#151;Inverse Floating Rate Securities.&#148; In general, income on inverse floating rate securities will decrease when interest rates increase and increase when interest rates decrease. Investments
in inverse floating rate securities may subject the Fund to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of principal. In addition, inverse floating rate securities may increase or decrease in value at a greater rate than the
underlying interest rate, which effectively leverages the Fund&#146;s investment. As a result, the market value of such securities generally will be more volatile than that of fixed rate securities. </FONT></P>

<TD><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund pays monthly cash distributions to Common Stockholders at a level rate (stated in terms of a fixed cents per Common Stock share dividend rate) based on the projected performance of the
Fund. The Fund&#146;s ability to maintain a level Common Stock dividend rate will depend on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of dividends on the Common Stock and the Fund&#146;s dividend policy could change.
Over time, the Fund will distribute all of its net investment income. In addition, the Fund intends to effectively distribute, at least annually, the net capital gain and taxable ordinary income, if any, to Common Stockholders. You may elect to
reinvest automatically some or all of your distributions in additional shares of Common Stock under the Fund&#146;s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of municipal securities, a significant portion of which
NAM believes are underrated and undervalued, based upon its bottom-up, research-driven investment strategy. Underrated municipal securities are those whose ratings do not, in NAM&#146;s opinion, reflect their true creditworthiness. Undervalued
municipal securities are securities that, in NAM&#146;s opinion, are worth more than the value assigned to them in the marketplace. NAM believes its value oriented strategy offers the opportunity to construct a well diversified portfolio of
municipal securities that has the potential to outperform major municipal market benchmarks over the longer term. A municipal security&#146;s market value generally will depend upon its form, maturity, call features, and interest rate, as well as
the issuer&#146;s credit quality or credit rating, all such factors examined in the context of the municipal securities market and interest rate levels and trends. NAM may at times believe that securities associated with a particular municipal
market sector (for example, electric utilities), or issued by a particular municipal issuer, are undervalued. NAM may purchase such a security for the Fund&#146;s portfolio because it represents a market sector or issuer that NAM considers
undervalued, even if the value of the particular security appears to be consistent with the value of similar securities. Municipal securities of particular types (e.g., hospital bonds, industrial revenue bonds or securities issued by a particular
municipal issuer) may be undervalued because there is a temporary excess of supply in that market sector, or because of a general decline in the market price of municipal securities of the market sector for reasons that do not apply to the
particular municipal securities that are considered undervalued. The Fund&#146;s investment in underrated or undervalued municipal securities will be based on NAM&#146;s belief that their yield is higher than that available on securities bearing
equivalent levels of interest rate risk, credit risk and other forms of risk, and that their prices will ultimately rise (relative to the market) to reflect their true value. The Fund attempts to increase its portfolio value relative to the
municipal bond market by prudent selection of municipal securities regardless of the direction the market may move. Any capital appreciation realized by the Fund will generally result in the distribution of taxable capital gains to Common
Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in various
municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and refinance public projects, and other related securities and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that
provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. Municipal securities are often issued by state and local governmental entities to finance or refinance public projects, such as roads, schools, and water
supply systems. Municipal securities also may be issued on behalf of private entities or for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility and pollution
control projects. Municipal securities may be issued on a long-term basis to provide long-term financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special
tax, or any other revenue source, including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal securities also may be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis,
anticipating repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of long-term debt. The Fund may purchase municipal securities in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or non-callable; with payment
forms that include fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships, or other
investment companies. The Fund may invest up to approximately 15% of its managed assets in inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

municipal security typically will be deemed to have the rating of its insurer. However, in the event an insurer has a credit rating below the rating of an underlying municipal security or is perceived by the market to have such a lower rating, the
municipal security rating would be the more relevant rating and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. As a result, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security may decline and

regular federal income tax (as previously defined, &#147;municipal securities&#148;). Municipal securities are often issued by state and local governmental entities to finance or refinance public projects such as roads, schools, and water supply
systems. Municipal securities may also be issued on behalf of private entities or for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility and pollution control
projects. Municipal securities may be issued on a long-term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or
any other revenue source, including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments and mortgage payments. Municipal securities may also be issued to finance projects on a short-term interim basis, anticipating
repayment with the proceeds of the later issuance of long-term debt. The Fund may purchase municipal securities in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or non-callable; with payment forms
including fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships or other
investment companies. Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged investment in an underlying municipal

also may purchase municipal securities that represent lease obligations and certificates of participation in such leases. These carry special risks because the issuer of the securities may not be obligated to appropriate money annually to make
payments under the lease. A municipal lease is an obligation in the form of a lease or installment purchase which is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations is generally exempt from
state and local taxes in the state of issuance. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for
governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or
contracts of &#147;non-appropriation&#148; clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a
yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment or
facilities. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and result in a delay in
recovering, or the failure to recover fully, the Fund&#146;s original investment. To the extent that the Fund invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality rating and risk of cancellation of such unrated
leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to reduce this risk, the Fund will only purchase municipal securities representing lease obligations where NAM believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making appropriations until

addition, such participations generally provide the Fund with the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days&#146; notice, of all or any part of the Fund&#146;s participation interest in the underlying municipal securities, plus accrued

Notes.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Municipal securities in the form of notes generally are used to provide for short-term capital needs, in anticipation of an issuer&#146;s receipt of other revenues or financing, and typically have maturities of up
to three years. Such instruments may include tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes and construction loan notes. Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance the working
capital needs of governments. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various tax revenues, such as income, sales, property, use and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes. Revenue anticipation notes are issued in
expectation of receipt of other kinds of revenue, such as federal revenues available under federal revenue sharing programs. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long- term bond financing can be arranged. In most
cases, the long-term bonds then provide the funds needed for repayment of the bond anticipation notes. Tax and revenue anticipation notes combine the funding sources of both tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes. Construction loan
notes are sold to provide construction financing. Mortgage notes insured by the Federal Housing Authority secure these notes; however, the proceeds from the insurance may be less than the economic equivalent of the payment of principal and interest
on the mortgage note if there has been a default. The anticipated revenues from taxes, grants or bond financing generally secure the obligations of an issuer of municipal notes. An investment in such instruments, however, presents a risk that the
anticipated revenues will not be received or that such revenues will be insufficient to satisfy the issuer&#146;s payment obligations under the notes or that refinancing will be otherwise unavailable. </FONT></P>

of municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or redemption by the issuer. For example,
advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for the pre-refunded municipal securities.
However, except for a change in the revenue source from which principal and interest payments are made, the pre-refunded municipal securities remain outstanding on their original terms until they mature or are redeemed by the issuer. </FONT></P>

rate securities (sometimes referred to as &#147;inverse floaters&#148; or residual interests of a tender option bond) are securities whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index.
Generally, inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust formed by a third party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of beneficial
interests or securities: short-term floating rate municipal securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender option bonds), which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating rate municipal securities, which the Fund
would purchase. The short-term floating rate securities have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the special purpose trust. Typically, a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, grants
the floating rate security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives periodic fees. The
holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rate. However, an institution will not be obligated to accept tendered short-term floaters in the event of certain
defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the bond issuer. For its inverse floating rate investment, the Fund receives the residual cash flow from the special purpose trust. Because the holder of the short-term floater is
generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security, the Fund as the holder of the inverse floater assumes the interest rate cash flow risk and the market value risk associated with the municipal security deposited into the special purpose
trust. The volatility of the interest cash flow and the residual market value will vary with the degree to which the trust is leveraged. This is expressed in the ratio of the face value of the short-term floaters in relation to the residual inverse
floaters that are issued by the special purpose trust. In addition, all voting rights and decisions to be made with respect to any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held in the special purpose trust are passed through to the Fund, as the
holder of the residual inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because increases in either the interest rate on the securities or the value of indexes (with which inverse floaters maintain their
inverse relationship) reduce the residual interest paid on inverse floaters, an inverse floater&#146;s value is generally more volatile than that of fixed rate bonds. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity based upon the liquidity of the
underlying securities deposited in a tender option bond trust. The market price of inverse floating rate securities is more volatile than the underlying securities due to leverage. These securities generally will underperform the market of fixed
rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market of fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile, inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields exceeding
the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

arrangement) having a relatively long maturity and bearing interest at a fixed rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rates. The bond is typically issued with the agreement of a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or
other financial institution, which grants the security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution
receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the bond&#146;s fixed coupon rate and the rate, as determined by a remarketing or similar agent at or near the commencement of such period, that would cause the securities, coupled with the
tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. Thus, after payment of this fee, the security holder effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rate. However, an institution
will not be obligated to accept tendered bonds in the event of certain defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the issuer of the bond. The Fund intends to invest in tender option bonds the interest on which will, in the
opinion of bond counsel, counsel for the issuer of interests therein or counsel selected by NAM, be exempt from regular federal income tax. However, because there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) will agree
with such counsel&#146;s opinion in any particular case, there is a risk that the Fund will not be considered the owner of such tender option bonds and thus will not be entitled to treat such interest as exempt from such tax. Additionally, the
federal income tax treatment of certain other aspects of these investments, including the proper tax treatment of tender option bonds and the associated fees in relation to various regulated investment company tax provisions, is unclear. The Fund
intends to manage its portfolio in a manner designed to eliminate or minimize any adverse impact from the tax rules applicable to these investments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

developments to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bond financing methods such as tax increment finance, tax assessment, special services district and Mello-Roos bonds, are generally payable solely from taxes
or other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. They often are exposed to real estate development-related risks and can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings are generally limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to

when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date. This type of transaction may involve an element of risk because no interest accrues on the bonds prior to
settlement and, because bonds are subject to market fluctuations, the value of the bonds at time of delivery may be less (or more) than cost. A separate account of the Fund will be established with its custodian consisting of cash, cash equivalents,

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Zero Coupon Bonds.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A zero coupon bond is a bond that does not pay interest either for the entire life of the
obligation or for an initial period after the issuance of the obligation. When held to its maturity, its return comes from the difference between the purchase price and its maturity value. A zero coupon bond is normally issued and traded at a deep
discount from face value. Zero coupon bonds allow an issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater credit risk than bonds that pay interest currently or in cash. The Fund
would be required to distribute the income on any of these instruments as it accrues, even though the Fund will not receive all of the income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Fund may have to sell other investments, including when it may not

similar instruments for investment purposes and also for hedging purposes. Structured notes are privately negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a benchmark asset, market or
interest rate (an &#147;embedded index&#148;), such as selected securities, an index of securities or specified interest rates, or the differential performance of two assets or markets. The terms of such structured instruments normally provide that
their principal and/or interest payments are to be adjusted upwards or downwards (but not ordinarily below zero) to reflect changes in the embedded index while the structured instruments are outstanding. As a result, the interest and/or principal
payments that may be made on a structured product may vary widely, depending upon a variety of factors, including the volatility of the embedded index and the effect of changes in the embedded index on principal and/or interest payments. The rate of
return on structured notes may be determined by applying a multiplier to the performance or differential performance of the referenced index or indices or other assets. Application of a multiplier involves leverage that will serve to magnify the

issuer, with respect to such debt obligations. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would
keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. As the seller, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. If the Fund is a buyer of a contract, the Fund would have the right to deliver a
referenced debt obligation and receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of such debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event (such as a credit downgrade) by the reference issuer, such as a U.S. or foreign
corporation, with respect to its debt obligations. In return, the Fund would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the counterparty
would keep the stream of payments and would have no further obligations to the Fund. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of
fixed-rate payments for floating rate payments. The Fund will usually enter into interest rate swaps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument,
with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

securities, have experienced periods of extreme illiquidity and volatility since the latter half of 2007. General market uncertainty and consequent repricing risk have led to market imbalances of sellers and buyers, which in turn have resulted in
significant valuation uncertainties in a variety of debt securities, including municipal securities, and significant and rapid value decline in certain instances. These conditions resulted, and in many cases continue to result in, greater price
volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many debt securities remaining illiquid and of uncertain value. These market conditions may make valuation of some of the Fund&#146;s municipal securities
uncertain and/or result in sudden and significant value declines in its holdings. A significant decline in the value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio would likely result in a significant decline in the value of your investment in Common Stock. In

securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in price, or the issuer thereof will fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. In general, lower-rated municipal
securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Fund&#146;s net asset value or dividends. Credit risk is increased when a portfolio
security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of the issuer deteriorates. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities that are rated below investment grade at the time of investment or that are unrated but
judged to be of comparable quality by NAM. No more than 10% of the Fund&#146;s net assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by NAM. If a municipal security satisfies
the rating requirements described above at the time of investment and is subsequently downgraded below that rating, the Fund will not be required to dispose of the security. If a downgrade occurs, NAM will consider what action, including the sale of
the security, is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. This means that the Fund may invest in municipal securities that are involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or are experiencing other financial difficulties at the
time of acquisition (such securities are commonly referred to as distressed securities). Municipal securities of below investment grade quality, commonly referred to as junk bonds, are regarded as having predominately speculative characteristics
with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due, and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business developments. Also, to the extent that the rating assigned to a municipal security
in the Fund&#146;s portfolio is downgraded by any NRSRO, the market price and liquidity of such security may be adversely affected. The market values for municipal securities of below investment grade quality tend to be volatile, and these
securities are less liquid than investment grade municipal securities. For these reasons, an investment in the Fund, compared with a portfolio consisting solely of investment grade securities, may experience the following: </FONT></P>

below investment grade issuer to make principal payments and interest payments compared to an investment grade issuer. The principal amount of below investment grade securities outstanding has proliferated in the past decade as an increasing number
of issuers have used below investment grade securities for financing. The current downturn may severely affect the ability of highly leveraged issuers to service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations upon maturity. As the national
economy experiences the current economic downturn, resulting in decreased tax and other revenue streams of municipal issuers, or in the event interest rates rise sharply, increasing the interest cost on variable rate instruments and negatively
impacting economic activity, the number of defaults by below investment grade municipal issuers is likely to increase. Similarly, downturns in profitability in specific industries could adversely affect private activity bonds. The market values of
lower quality debt securities tend to reflect individual developments of the issuer to a greater extent than do higher quality securities, which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Factors having an adverse impact
on the market value of lower quality securities may have an adverse impact on the Fund&#146;s net asset value and the market value of its Common Stock. In addition, the Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery
upon a default in payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings. In certain circumstances, the Fund may be required to foreclose on an issuer&#146;s assets and take possession of its property or operations. In such circumstances, the
Fund would incur additional costs in disposing of such assets and potential liabilities from operating any business acquired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

a factor that may have an adverse effect on the Fund&#146;s ability to dispose of a particular security. There are fewer dealers in the market for below investment grade municipal securities than the market for investment grade municipal securities.
The prices quoted by different dealers for below investment grade municipal securities may vary significantly, and the spread between the bid and ask price is generally much larger for below investment grade municipal securities than for higher
quality instruments. Under adverse market or economic conditions, the secondary market for below investment grade securities could contract further, independent of any specific adverse changes in the condition of a particular issuer, and these
instruments may become illiquid. As a result, the Fund could find it more difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell the securities only at prices lower than if such securities were widely traded. Prices realized upon the sale of such
lower rated or unrated securities, under these circumstances, may be less than the prices used in calculating the Fund&#146;s net asset value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

financing. Therefore, the risk associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally is greater than is the case with higher rated securities. For example, during an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates,
highly leveraged issuers of below investment grade securities may experience financial stress. During such periods, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their interest payment obligations. The issuer&#146;s ability to service its
debt obligations also may be adversely affected by specific developments, the issuer&#146;s inability to meet specific projected forecasts or the unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss from default by the issuer is significantly
greater for the holders of below investment grade securities because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Prices and yields of below investment grade securities will fluctuate over time
and, during periods of economic uncertainty, volatility of below investment grade securities may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s net asset value. In addition, investments in below investment grade zero coupon bonds rather than income- bearing below
investment grade securities, may be more speculative and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value due to changes in interest rates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

ability of the companies to pay their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic climate, economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the companies.

fall, and vice versa. Interest rate risk is the risk that the municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. As interest rates decline, issuers of municipal securities may
prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities and potentially reducing the Fund&#146;s income. As interest rates increase, slower than expected principal payments may extend the average life of
securities, potentially locking in a below-market interest rate and reducing the Fund&#146;s value. In typical market interest rate environments, the prices of longer-term municipal securities generally fluctuate more than prices of shorter-term
municipal securities as interest rates change. Because the Fund will invest primarily in longer-term municipal securities, the net asset value and market price per share will fluctuate more in response to changes in market interest rates than if the
Fund invested primarily in shorter-term municipal securities. Because the values of lower-rated and comparable unrated debt securities are affected both by credit risk and interest rate risk, the price movements of such lower grade securities
typically have not been highly correlated to the fluctuations of the prices of investment grade quality securities in response to changes in market interest rates. The Fund&#146;s investments in inverse floating rate securities, as described herein

bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms&#146; capital was severely constrained. As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer
for municipal bonds. The amount of public information available about the municipal securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the investment performance of the Fund may therefore be more
dependent on the analytical abilities of NAM than if the Fund were a stock fund or taxable bond fund. The secondary market for municipal securities, particularly the below investment grade bonds in which the Fund may invest, also tends to be less
well-developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to sell its municipal securities at attractive prices or at prices approximating those at which the Fund currently values them.

protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, the Fund could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and the Fund may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to
which it is entitled. To enforce its rights in the event of a default in the payment of interest or repayment of principal, or both, the Fund may take possession of and manage the assets securing the issuer&#146;s obligations on such securities,

provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of

lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the
governmental issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of
non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to fully recover the Fund&#146;s original investment. In the event of non-appropriation, the issuer would be in

derivative instruments, the use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, the use of swaps requires an
understanding by NAM not only of the referenced asset, rate or index, but also of the swap itself. Because they are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid.
Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including
potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. See also, &#147;&#151;Counterparty Risk&#148;, &#147;&#151;Hedging

on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked
prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which

opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at a premium over the then current market price of the shares of Common Stock by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund in a tender offer or similar transaction. The
overall effect of these provisions is to render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger or the assumption of control by a third party. They provide, however, the advantage of potentially requiring persons seeking control of the Fund to
negotiate with its management regarding the price to be paid and facilitating the continuity of the Fund&#146;s investment objectives and policies. The Board of Directors of the Fund has considered the foregoing anti-takeover provisions and
concluded that they are in the best interests of the Fund and its Common Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

shareholders will not have the right to cause the Fund to redeem their shares. Instead, the shares of Common Stock will trade in the open market at a price that will be a function of several factors, including dividend levels (which are in turn
affected by expenses), net asset value, call protection, dividend stability, portfolio credit quality, relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, general market and economic conditions and other factors. Because shares of
closed-end investment companies may frequently trade at prices lower than net asset value, the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors has currently determined that, at least annually, it will consider action that might be taken to reduce or eliminate any
material discount from net asset value in respect of shares of Common Stock, which may include the repurchase of such shares in the open market or in private transactions, the making of a tender offer for such shares at net asset value, or the
conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company. The Fund cannot assure you that its Board of Directors will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers will actually reduce market discount. </FONT></P>

even if the Fund&#146;s shares should trade at a discount, the Board of Directors may determine that, in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders, no action should be taken. See the SAI under &#147;Repurchase of Fund Shares; Conversion to

the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must satisfy certain requirements regarding the sources of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. As a RIC, the Fund is not expected to be subject to federal
income tax. The Fund primarily invests in municipal securities issued by states, cities and local authorities and certain possessions and territories of the United States (such as Puerto Rico or Guam) or municipal securities whose income is
otherwise exempt from regular federal income taxes. Thus, substantially all of the Fund&#146;s dividends paid to you should qualify as &#147;exempt-interest dividends.&#148; A shareholder treats an exempt-interest dividend as interest on state and
local bonds exempt from regular federal income tax. Federal income tax law imposes an alternative minimum tax with respect to corporations, individuals, trust and estates. Interest on certain municipal obligations, such as certain private activity
bonds is included as an item of tax preference in determining the amount of a taxpayer&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income. To the extent that the Fund receives income from such municipal obligations, a portion of the dividends paid by the
Fund, although exempt from regular federal income tax, will be taxable to shareholders to the extent that their tax liability is determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will annually provide a report indicating the percentage

Fund may also distribute to its shareholders amounts that are treated as long-term capital gain or ordinary income (which may include short-term capital gains). These distributions may be subject to federal, state and local taxation, depending on a
shareholder&#146;s situation. If so, they are taxable whether or not such distributions are reinvested. Capital gain distributions are generally taxable at rates applicable to long-term capital gains regardless of how long a shareholder has held its
shares. Long-term capital gains are currently taxable at a maximum rate of 15%. Absent further legislation, the maximum 15% rate on long-term capital gains will cease to apply to taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2010 and the maximum
rate on long-term capital gains will return under current law to 20%. The Fund does not expect that any part of its distributions to shareholders from its investments will qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate

hold their shares as capital assets. Generally a shareholder&#146;s gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year even though the increase in value in such Common Stock is attributable to
tax-exempt interest income. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the same rates applicable to ordinary income. For non-corporate taxpayers, however, long-term capital gains are currently taxed at a maximum
rate of 15%, while short-term capital gains and other ordinary income are currently taxes at ordinary income rates. As noted above, absent further legislation, the maximum rates applicable to long-term capital gains will cease to apply to taxable
years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2010 and the maximum rate on long-term capital gains will return under current law to 20%. Any loss on the sale of shares of Common Stock that have been held for six months or less will be disallowed to the
extent of any distribution of exempt-interest dividends received with respect to such Common Stock. If a shareholder sells or otherwise disposes of shares of Common Stock before holding them for six months, any loss on the sale or disposition will
be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the common shareholder. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of the Fund will be disallowed to the extent those shares of the Fund are
replaced by other substantially identical shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition of the original shares. In that event, the basis of the replacement shares of the Fund

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of municipal securities (defined below), a significant
portion of which Nuveen Asset Management (&#147;NAM&#148;), the Fund&#146;s investment adviser, believes are underrated and undervalued, based upon its bottom-up, research-driven investment strategy. Underrated municipal securities are those whose
ratings do not, in NAM&#146;s opinion, reflect their true creditworthiness. Undervalued municipal securities are securities that, in NAM&#146;s opinion, are worth more than the value assigned to them in the marketplace. NAM believes its value
oriented strategy offers the opportunity to construct a well diversified portfolio of municipal securities that has the potential to outperform major municipal market benchmarks over the longer term. A municipal security&#146;s market value
generally will depend upon its form, maturity, call features, and interest rate, as well as the issuer&#146;s credit quality or credit rating, all such factors examined in the context of the municipal securities market and interest rate levels and
trends. NAM may at times believe that securities associated with a particular municipal market sector (for example, electric utilities), or issued by a particular municipal issuer, are undervalued. NAM may purchase such a security for the
Fund&#146;s portfolio because it represents a market sector or issuer that NAM considers undervalued, even if the value of the particular security appears to be consistent with the value of similar securities. Municipal securities of particular
types (e.g., hospital bonds, industrial revenue bonds or securities issued by a particular municipal issuer) may be undervalued because there is a temporary excess of supply in that market sector, or because of a general decline in the market price
of municipal securities of the market sector for reasons that do not apply to the particular municipal securities that are considered undervalued. The Fund&#146;s investment in underrated or undervalued municipal securities will be based on
NAM&#146;s belief that their yield is higher than that available on securities bearing equivalent levels of interest rate risk, credit risk and other forms of risk, and that their prices will ultimately rise (relative to the market) to reflect their
true value. The Fund attempts to increase its portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market by prudent selection of municipal securities regardless of the direction the market may move. Any capital appreciation realized by the Fund will
generally result in the distribution of taxable capital gains to Common Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in various

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal securities of below investment grade quality (Ba/BB or below) are commonly referred to as junk bonds. Issuers of securities
rated Ba/BB or B are regarded as having current capacity to make principal and interest payments but are subject to business, financial or economic conditions which could adversely affect such payment capacity. Municipal securities rated Baa or BBB
or above are considered &#147;investment grade&#148; securities; municipal securities rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations that lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics, while municipal securities
rated BBB are regarded as having adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Municipal securities rated Aaa or AAA in which the Fund may invest may have been so rated on the basis of the existence of insurance guaranteeing the timely payment,
when due, of all principal and interest. Municipal securities rated below investment grade quality are obligations of issuers that are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay
principal according to the terms of the obligation and, therefore, carry greater investment risk, including the possibility of issuer default and bankruptcy and increased market price volatility. Municipal securities rated below investment grade
tend to be less marketable than higher-quality securities because the market for them is less broad. The market for municipal securities unrated by any NRSRO is even narrower. During periods of thin trading in these markets, the spread between bid
and asked prices is likely to increase significantly and the Fund may have greater difficulty selling its portfolio securities. The Fund will be more dependent on NAM&#146;s research and analysis when investing in these securities. </FONT></P>

securities are securities issued by companies having financial difficulties, such as being in default on their obligations to pay principal or interest thereon when due or that are involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The issuers of
such securities may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These
characteristics of these issuers can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These issuers&#146; securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the issuers to pay
their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic climate, economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the issuers. Distressed securities frequently do
not produce income while they are outstanding and may require the Fund to bear certain extraordinary expenses in order to protect and recover its investment. </FONT></P>

hereto. The ratings of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the municipal securities they rate. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality.
Consequently, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have the same yield. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will generally invest in municipal securities with intermediate or long-term maturities. Generally, the Fund is expected to have
a weighted average maturity of 15 to 30 years. The weighted average maturity of securities held by the Fund may be shortened or lengthened, depending on market conditions and on an assessment by the Fund&#146;s portfolio manager of which segments of
the municipal securities market offer the most favorable relative investment values and opportunities for tax-exempt income and total return. During temporary defensive periods (e.g., times when, in NAM&#146;s opinion, temporary imbalances of supply
and demand or other temporary dislocations in the tax-exempt securities market adversely affect the price at which long-term or intermediate-term municipal securities are available), and in order to keep the Fund&#146;s cash fully invested,
including the period during which the net proceeds of an offering are being invested, the Fund may invest any percentage of its net assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term securities that may be either tax-exempt or
taxable and up to 10% of its net assets in securities of other open or closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in municipal securities of the type in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund intends to invest in taxable short-term
investments only in the event that suitable tax-exempt short-term investments are not available at reasonable prices and yields, as determined by NAM, and in amounts limited to ensure that the Fund is eligible to pay exempt-interest dividends (as
described in &#147;Tax Matters&#148; below). Tax-exempt short-term investments include various obligations issued by state and local governmental issuers, such as tax-exempt notes (bond anticipation notes, tax anticipation notes and revenue
anticipation notes or other such municipal bonds maturing in three years or less from the date of issuance) and municipal commercial paper. The Fund will invest only in taxable short-term investments which are U.S. government securities or
securities rated within the highest grade by Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P or Fitch, and which mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable or floating rate of interest. See Appendix A for a general description of Moody&#146;s,
S&amp;P&#146;s and Fitch&#146;s ratings of securities in such categories. Taxable short-term investments of the Fund may include certificates of deposit issued by U.S. banks with assets of at least $1 billion, or commercial paper or corporate notes,
bonds or debentures with a remaining maturity of one year or less, or repurchase agreements. To the extent the Fund invests in taxable investments, the Fund will not at such times be in a position to achieve its investment objective of tax-exempt
income. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing policies as to ratings of portfolio investments will apply only at the time of the purchase of a

insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. In addition, the obligations of such issuers may become subject to the laws enacted in the future by Congress, state legislatures or referenda extending the time for payment
of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of such obligations or upon municipalities to levy taxes. There is also the possibility that, as a result of legislation or other conditions, the power or ability of
any issuer to pay, when due, the principal of, and interest on, its municipal securities may be materially affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund
may invest up to 25% of its net assets in municipal securities in any one industry or in any one state of origin. In addition, subject to the concentration limits of the Fund&#146;s investment policies and guidelines, the Fund may invest a
significant portion of its net assets in certain sectors of the municipal securities market, such as hospitals and other health care facilities, charter schools and other private educational facilities, special taxing districts and start-up utility
districts and private activity bonds including industrial development bonds on behalf of transportation companies such as airline companies, whose credit quality and performance may be more susceptible to economic, business, political, regulatory
and other developments than other sectors of municipal issuers. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its net assets in the sectors noted above, the Fund&#146;s performance may be subject to additional risk and variability. To the extent that
the Fund focuses its net assets in the hospital and healthcare facilities sector, for example, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with such sector, including adverse government regulation and reduction in reimbursement rates, as well as
government approval of products and services and intense competition. Securities issued with respect to special taxing districts will be subject to various risks, including real-estate development related risks and taxpayer concentration risk.
Further, the fees, special taxes or tax allocations and other revenues established to secure the obligations of securities issued with respect to special taxing districts are generally limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed
and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. Charter schools and other private educational facilities will be subject to various risks, including the reversal of legislation authorizing or funding
charter schools, the failure to renew or secure a charter, the failure of a funding entity to appropriate necessary funds and competition from alternatives such as voucher programs. Issuers of municipal utility securities can be significantly
affected by government regulation, financing difficulties, supply and demand of services or fuel and natural resource conservation. The transportation sector, including airports, airlines, ports and other transportation facilities, can be
significantly affected by changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor relations, insurance costs and government regulation. </FONT></P>

&#147;tobacco settlement bonds.&#148; The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tobacco settlement bonds, which are municipal securities that are backed solely by expected revenues to be derived from lawsuits involving tobacco related
deaths and illnesses which were settled between certain states and American tobacco companies. Tobacco settlement bonds are secured by an issuing state&#146;s proportionate share in the Master Settlement Agreement (&#147;MSA&#148;). The MSA is an
agreement, reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and nearly all of the U.S. tobacco manufacturers. The MSA provides for annual payments in perpetuity by the manufacturers to the states in exchange for releasing all claims against
the manufacturers and a pledge of no further litigation. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share, and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment as set forth in the MSA. A number of states have
securitized the future flow of those payments by selling bonds pursuant to indentures or through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are backed by the future revenue flow related
to the MSA. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments to the state or its governmental entity. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The actual amount of future settlement payments, is further dependent on many factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic

cigarettes shipped in the U.S. by manufacturers participating in the settlement decreases significantly, payments due from them will also decrease. Demand for cigarettes in the U.S. could
continue to decline due to price increases needed to recoup the cost of payments by tobacco companies. Demand could also be affected by: anti-smoking campaigns, tax increases, reduced advertising, enforcement of laws prohibiting sales to minors;
elimination of certain sales venues such as vending machines; and the spread of local ordinances restricting smoking in public places. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be negatively impacted if the decrease in tobacco
consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers would cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing
for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. </FONT></P>

contract obligations (hereinafter collectively called &#147;Municipal Lease Obligations&#148;) of municipal authorities or entities. Although a Municipal Lease Obligation does not constitute a general obligation of the municipality for which the
municipality&#146;s taxing power is pledged, a Municipal Lease Obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality&#146;s covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the Municipal Lease Obligation. However, certain Municipal
Lease Obligations contain &#147;nonappropriation&#148; clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. In
the case of a &#147;non-appropriation&#148; lease, the Fund&#146;s ability to recover under the lease in the event of non-appropriation or default will be limited solely to the repossession of the leased property, without recourse to the general
credit of the lessee, and disposition or releasing of the property might prove difficult. To the extent that the Fund invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality rating and risk of cancellation of such
unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to reduce this risk, the Fund will only purchase Municipal Lease Obligations where NAM believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making appropriations until maturity.

market environments to partially hedge the portfolio against fluctuations in market value due to market interest rate or credit quality fluctuations, or instead to gain a desired investment exposure, by entering into various types of derivative
transactions, including financial futures and index futures as well as related put and call options on such instruments, structured notes, or interest rate swaps on taxable or tax-exempt securities or indexes (which may be

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These transactions present certain risks. In particular, the imperfect correlation between
price movements in the futures contract and price movements in the securities being hedged creates the possibility that losses on the hedge by the Fund may be greater than gains in the value of the securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio. In
addition, futures and options markets may not be liquid in all circumstances. As a result, in volatile markets, the Fund may not be able to close out the transaction without incurring losses substantially greater than the initial deposit. Losses due
to hedging transactions will reduce the Fund&#146;s net asset value which in turn could reduce yield. Net gains, if any, from hedging and other portfolio transactions will be distributed as taxable distributions to shareholders. The Fund will not
make any investment (whether an initial premium or deposit or a subsequent deposit) other than as necessary to close a prior investment if, immediately after such investment, the sum of the amount of its premiums and deposits would exceed 15% of the
Fund&#146;s net assets. The Fund will invest in these instruments only in markets believed by NAM to be active and sufficiently liquid. Successful implementation of most hedging strategies would generate taxable income. </FONT></P>

total contract price. Typically, option holders enter into offsetting closing transactions to enable settlement in cash rather than take delivery of the position in the future of the underlying security. Interest rate swap and credit default swap
transactions are typically entered on a net basis, meaning that the two payment streams are netted out with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund will only sell covered futures contracts,
which means that the Fund segregates assets equal to the amount of the obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Bond Futures and Forward
Contracts</I>. Bond futures contracts are agreements in which one party agrees to deliver to the other an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference between the value of a specific bond at the close of the last trading day
of the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. No physical delivery of securities is made. Forward contracts are agreements to purchase or sell a specified security or currency at a specified future date (or within a specified time
period) and price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are usually entered into with banks, foreign exchange dealers or broker-dealers and are usually for less than one year, but may be renewed. Forward contracts are generally
purchased or sold in over-the-counter (&#147;OTC&#148;) transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (the &#147;CFTC&#148;) currently in effect, which may change from time to time, with respect to futures contracts purchased by the Fund, the Fund will set aside in a segregated account liquid securities with a value at least equal to the
value of instruments underlying such futures contracts less the amount of initial margin on deposit for such contracts. The current view of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that the Fund&#146;s long and short positions in
futures contracts must be collateralized with cash or certain liquid assets held in a segregated account or &#147;covered&#148; in order to counter the impact of any potential leveraging. </FONT></P>

a specific amount of a currency at a set price on a future date. While similar to currency forward contracts, currency futures contracts are traded on commodities exchanges and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. An option on a
currency futures contract gives the holder of the option the right to buy or sell a position in a currency futures contract, at a set price and on or before a specified expiration date. Trading options on international (non-U.S.) currency futures

of cash-rather than any security-equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index future was originally written. Thus, an index
future is similar to traditional financial futures except that settlement is made in cash. The Fund may invest in index futures or similar contracts if available in a form, with market liquidity and settlement and payment features, acceptable to the
Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Index Options</I>. The Fund may also purchase put or call options on U.S. Government or tax-exempt bond index
futures and enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. Options on index futures are similar to options on debt instruments except that an option on an index future gives the purchaser the right,
in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in an index contract rather than an underlying security at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position
by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance of the writer&#146;s futures margin account which represents the amount by which the market price of the index futures contract, at
exercise, is less than the exercise price of the option on the index future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Bond index futures and options transactions

the general risks associated with hedging strategies and the use of derivatives set forth above, there are several risks associated with the use of futures contracts and futures options as hedging techniques. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Futures contracts on U.S. Government securities historically have reacted to an increase or decrease in interest rates in a manner
similar to that in which the underlying U.S. Government securities reacted. To the extent, however, that the Fund enters into such futures contracts, the value of such futures will not vary in direct proportion to the value of the Fund&#146;s
holdings of municipal securities. Thus, the anticipated spread between the price of the futures contract and the hedged security may be distorted due to differences in the nature of the markets. The spread also may be distorted by differences in
initial and variation margin requirements, the liquidity of such markets and the participation of speculators in such markets. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily
limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day&#146;s settlement price at the end of the current trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a futures contract
subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to
prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions and
subjecting some holders of futures contracts to substantial losses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Interest Rate Transactions and Total Return Swaps</I>.
The Fund may enter into various interest rate transactions, such as interest rate swaps and the purchase or sale of interest rate caps and floors, as well as total return swaps and other debt related derivative instruments. The Fund may enter into
these transactions in order to seek to hedge the value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio to seek to increase its return, to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to seek to protect against any increase in
the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective
commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed-rate payments for floating rate payments. In a total return swap, the Fund exchanges with another party their respective commitments to pay or receive the total return of an
underlying asset and a floating local short-term interest rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may use an interest rate cap, which would require it
to pay a premium to the cap counterparty and would entitle it, to the extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, to receive from the counterparty payment of the difference based on the notional amount. The Fund
would use interest rate swaps or caps only with the intent to reduce or eliminate the risk that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common Stock net earnings as a result of leverage. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund will usually enter into swaps or caps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement
on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund intends to maintain in a segregated account with its custodian cash or liquid
securities having a value at least equal to the Fund&#146;s net payment obligations under any swap transaction, marked-to-market daily. If the interest rate swap transaction is entered into on other than a net basis, the full amount of the
Fund&#146;s obligations will be accrued on a daily basis, and the full amount of the Fund&#146;s obligations will be segregated by the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of swaps and caps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated
with ordinary portfolio security transactions, including the risk that the counterparty may be unable to fulfill the transaction. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the
agreements related to the transaction. If NAM is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be unfavorably affected. Depending on the state of interest rates
in general, the Fund&#146;s use of interest rate swaps or caps could enhance or harm the overall performance on the Common Stock. To the extent there is a decline in interest rates, the value of the interest rate swap or cap could decline, and could
result in a decline in the net asset value of the shares of Common Stock. In addition, if short-term interest rates are lower than the Fund&#146;s fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will reduce Common Stock net earnings. If,
on the other hand, short-term interest rates are higher than the fixed rate of payment on the interest rate swap, the swap will enhance Common Stock net earnings. Buying interest rate caps could enhance the performance of the Common Stock by
providing a maximum leverage expense. Buying interest rate caps could also decrease the net earnings of the Common Stock in the event that the premium paid by the Fund to the counterparty exceeds the additional amount the Fund would have been
required to pay had it not entered into the cap agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Swaps and caps do not involve the delivery of securities or other
underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swaps is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund would not be able to use the
anticipated net receipts under the swap or cap to offset payments. Depending on whether the Fund would be entitled to receive net payments from the counterparty on the swap or cap, such a default could negatively impact the performance of the Common
Stock. In addition, because they are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swaps and caps may be considered to be illiquid. It is possible that developments in the swaps and caps markets, including potential
government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to terminate existing agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although this will not guarantee that the counterparty does not default, the Fund will not enter into a swap or cap transaction with any
counter-party that NAM believes does not have the financial resources to honor its obligation under the swap or cap transaction. Further, NAM will continually monitor the financial stability of a counterparty to a swap or cap transaction in an
effort to proactively protect the Fund&#146;s investments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the delivery date; however, although the value of the underlying collateral at the time the transaction is entered into always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price, if the value of the collateral
declines there is a risk of loss of both principal and interest. In the event of default, the collateral may be sold but the Fund might incur a loss if the value of the collateral declines, and might incur disposition costs or experience delays in
connection with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization upon the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. NAM will monitor the value of the
collateral at the time the transaction is entered into and at all times subsequent during the term of the repurchase agreement in an effort to determine that such value always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price. In the event the
value of the collateral declines below the repurchase price, NAM will demand additional collateral from the issuer to increase the value of the collateral to at least that of the repurchase price, including interest. </FONT></P>

either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. government agency securities include securities issued by (a)&nbsp;the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Administration,
Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small Business Administration, and the Government National Mortgage Association, whose securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States; (b)&nbsp;the Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, and the Tennessee Valley Authority, whose securities are supported by the right of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; (c)&nbsp;the Federal National Mortgage Association, whose securities are supported by the
discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain obligations of the agency or instrumentality; and (d)&nbsp;the Student Loan Marketing Association, whose securities are supported only by its credit. While the U.S. government
provides financial support to such U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it always will do so since it is not so obligated by law. The U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities do not
guarantee the market value of their securities. Consequently, the value of such securities may fluctuate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(2)
Certificates of Deposit issued against funds deposited in a bank or a savings and loan association. Such certificates are for a definite period of time, earn a specified rate of return, and are normally negotiable. The issuer of a certificate of
deposit agrees to pay the amount deposited plus interest to the bearer of the certificate on the date specified thereon. Under current Federal Deposit Insurance Company regulations, the maximum insurance payable as to any one certificate of deposit
is $250,000; therefore, certificates of deposit purchased by the Fund may not be fully insured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(3) Repurchase
agreements, which involve purchases of debt securities. At the time the Fund purchases securities pursuant to a repurchase agreement, it simultaneously agrees to resell and redeliver such securities to the seller, who also simultaneously agrees to
buy back the securities at a fixed price and time. This assures a predetermined yield for the Fund during its holding period, since the resale price is always greater than the purchase price and reflects an agreed-upon market rate. Such actions
afford an opportunity for the Fund to invest temporarily available cash. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements only with respect to obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; certificates of deposit; or
bankers&#146; acceptances in which the Fund may invest. Repurchase agreements may be considered loans to the seller, collateralized by the underlying securities. The risk to the Fund is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon sum
on the repurchase date; in the event of default, the repurchase agreement provides that the Fund is entitled to sell the underlying collateral. If the value of the collateral declines after the agreement is entered into, and if the seller defaults
under a repurchase agreement when the value of the underlying collateral is less than the repurchase price, the Fund could incur a loss of both principal and interest. The investment adviser monitors the value of the collateral at the time the
action is entered into and at all times during the term of the repurchase agreement. The investment adviser does so in an effort to determine that the value of the collateral always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price to be paid to
the Fund. If the seller were to be subject to a federal bankruptcy proceeding, the ability of the Fund to liquidate the collateral could be delayed or impaired because of certain provisions of the bankruptcy laws. </FONT></P>

NAM will consider the financial condition of the corporation (e.g., earning power, cash flow, and other liquidity measures) and will continuously monitor the corporation&#146;s ability to meet all of its financial obligations, because the
Fund&#146;s liquidity might be impaired if the corporation were unable to pay principal and interest on demand. Investments in commercial paper will be limited to commercial paper rated in the highest categories by a major rating agency and which

sold to obtain interim financing for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds. The ability of an issuer to meet its obligations on its BANs is primarily dependent on the issuer&#146;s access to

Board of Directors has delegated to NAM the day-to-day determination of the illiquidity of any security held by the Fund, although it has retained oversight and ultimate responsibility for such determinations. No definitive liquidity criteria are
used. The Board of Directors has directed NAM when making liquidity determinations to look for such factors as (i)&nbsp;the nature of the market for a security (including the institutional private resale market; the frequency of trades and quotes
for the security; the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security; the amount of time normally needed to dispose of the security; and the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer), (ii)&nbsp;the terms of certain
securities or other instruments allowing for the disposition to a third party or the issuer thereof (e.g., certain repurchase obligations and demand instruments), and (iii)&nbsp;other relevant factors. The assets used to cover OTC derivatives used
by the Fund will be considered illiquid until the OTC derivatives are sold to qualified dealers who agree that the Fund may repurchase them at a maximum price to be calculated by a formula set forth in an agreement. The &#147;cover&#148; for an OTC
derivative subject to this procedure would be considered illiquid only to the extent that the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the derivative. </FONT></P>

may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than that which prevailed when it decided to sell.
Illiquid securities will be priced at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegatee. If, through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of liquid securities, the Fund should be in a position
where more than 50% of the value of its net assets is invested in illiquid securities, including restricted securities that are not readily marketable, the Fund will take such steps as are deemed advisable by NAM, if any, to protect liquidity.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Inverse Floating Rate Securities</I>. Inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as &#147;inverse floaters&#148;) are
securities whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. Generally, inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a special purpose trust formed by a third
party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of beneficial interests or securities: short-term floating rate municipal securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or
tender option bonds), which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating rate municipal securities, which the Fund would purchase. The short-term floating rate securities have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held
by the special purpose trust. Typically, a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, grants the floating rate security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and
receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives periodic fees. The holder of the short-term floater effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term,
tax-exempt rate. However, an institution will not be obligated to accept tendered short-term floaters in the event of certain defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the bond issuer. For its inverse floating rate
investment, the Fund receives the residual cash flow from the special purpose trust. Because the holder of the short-term floater is generally assured liquidity at the face value of the security, the Fund as the holder of the inverse floater assumes
the interest rate cash flow risk and the market value risk associated with the municipal security deposited into the special purpose trust. The volatility of the interest cash flow and the residual market value will vary with the degree to which the
trust is leveraged. This is expressed in the ratio of the face value of the short-term floaters in relation to the residual inverse floaters that are issued by the special purpose trust. In addition, all voting rights and decisions to be made with
respect to any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held in the special purpose trust are passed through to the Fund, as the holder of the residual inverse floating rate securities. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because increases in either the interest rate on the securities or the value of indexes
(with which inverse floaters maintain their inverse relationship) reduce the residual interest paid on inverse floaters, inverse floaters&#146; value is generally more volatile than that of fixed rate bonds. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of
liquidity based upon, among other things, the liquidity of the underlying securities deposited in a tender option bond trust. The market price of inverse floating rate securities is more volatile than the underlying securities due to leverage. These
securities generally will underperform the market of fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market of fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile, inverse
floaters typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. </FONT></P>

option bonds may take the form of short-term floating rate securities or the option period may be substantially longer. Generally, the interest rate earned will be based upon the market rates for municipal securities with maturities or remarketing
provisions that are comparable in duration to the periodic interval of the tender option, which may vary from weekly, to monthly, to extended periods of one year or multiple years. Since the option feature has a shorter term than the final maturity
or first call date of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the Fund as the holder of the tender option bond relies upon the terms of the agreement with the financial institution furnishing the option as well as the credit strength of that
institution. As further assurance of liquidity, the terms of the trust provide for a liquidation of the municipal security deposited in the trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the tender option bond. The trusts that are organized to
issue both short-term floating rate securities and inverse floaters generally include liquidation triggers to protect the investor in the tender option bond. Generally, the trusts do not have recourse to the investors in the residual inverse
floating rate securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>AUCTION RATE SECURITIES </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal securities also include auction rate municipal securities and auction rate preferred securities issued by closed-end investment
companies that invest primarily in municipal securities (collectively, &#147;auction rate securities&#148;). In certain recent market environments, auction failures have been widespread, which may adversely affect the liquidity and price of auction
rate securities. Provided that the auction mechanism is successful, auction rate securities usually permit the holder to sell the securities in an auction at par value at specified intervals. The dividend is reset by &#147;Dutch&#148; auction in
which bids are made by broker-dealers and other institutions for a certain amount of securities at a specified minimum yield. The dividend rate set by the auction is the lowest interest or dividend rate that covers all securities offered for sale.
While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities. Moreover, between auctions, there may be no secondary market for
these securities, and sales conducted on a secondary market may not be on terms favorable to the seller. Thus, with respect to liquidity and price stability, auction rate securities may differ substantially from cash equivalents, notwithstanding the
frequency of auctions and the credit quality of the security. The Fund&#146;s investments in auction rate securities of closed-end funds are subject to the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share
of any management and other fees paid by such closed-end funds in addition to the advisory fees payable directly by the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>WHEN-ISSUED

obligations with a security that is expected to be called or mature within 60 days before or after the settlement date of the forward transaction. The commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward basis may involve

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Zero Coupon Securities</I>. The Fund&#146;s investments in debt securities may be in the form of a zero coupon bond. Zero coupon bonds
are debt obligations that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest for the entire life of the obligation. When held to its maturity, its return comes from the difference between the purchase price and its maturity value. These
instruments are typically issued and traded at a deep discount from their face amounts. The amount of the discount varies depending on such factors as the time remaining until maturity of the securities, prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of
the security and the perceived credit quality of the issuer. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of debt instruments that pay interest currently and in cash and are likely to respond to changes
in interest rates to a greater degree than do other types of securities having similar maturities and credit quality. In order to satisfy a requirement for qualification to be taxed as a &#147;regulated investment company&#148; under the Code (as
defined under &#147;Tax Matters&#148;), an investment company, such as the Fund, must distribute each year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (as described under &#147;Tax Matters&#148;), including the original issue discount
accrued on zero coupon bonds. Because the Fund will not on a current basis receive cash payments from the issuer of these securities in respect of any accrued original issue discount, in some years the Fund may have to distribute cash obtained from
selling other portfolio holdings of the Fund in order to avoid unfavorable tax consequences. In some circumstances, such sales might be necessary in order to satisfy cash distribution requirements to its Common Stockholders even though investment
considerations might otherwise make it undesirable for the Fund to sell securities at such time. Under many market conditions, investments in zero coupon bonds may be illiquid, making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of them or determine their
current value. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Structured Notes</I>. The Fund may utilize structured notes and similar instruments for investment
purposes and also for hedging purposes. Structured notes are privately negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a benchmark asset, market or interest rate (an &#147;embedded
index&#148;), such as selected securities, an index of securities or specified interest rates, or the differential performance of two assets or markets. The terms of such structured instruments normally provide that their principal and/or interest
payments are to be adjusted upwards or downwards (but not ordinarily below zero) to reflect changes in the embedded index while the structured instruments are outstanding. As a result, the interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a
structured product may vary widely, depending upon a variety of factors, including the volatility of the embedded index and the effect of changes in the embedded index on principal and/or interest payments. The rate of return on structured notes may
be determined by applying a multiplier to the performance or differential performance of the referenced index or indices or other assets. Application of a multiplier involves leverage that will serve to magnify the potential for gain and the risk of
loss. These types of investments may generate taxable income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>DEFENSIVE POSITION; INVEST-UP PERIOD </B></FONT></P>

the Fund&#146;s cash fully invested, including the period during which the proceeds of the offering are being invested, the Fund may invest any percentage of its net assets in short-term investments including high quality, short-term debt securities
that may be either tax-exempt or taxable and up to 10% of its net assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as &#147;ETFs&#148;)) that invest primarily in municipal
securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund intends to invest in taxable short-term investments only in the event that suitable tax-exempt short-term investments are not available at reasonable prices and yields.
Tax-exempt short-term investments include various obligations issued by state and local governmental issuers, such as tax-exempt notes (bond anticipation notes, tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes or other such municipal securities
maturing in three years or less from the date of issuance) and municipal commercial paper. The Fund will invest only in taxable short-term investments which are U.S. government securities or securities rated within the highest grade by Fitch,
Moody&#146;s or S&amp;P, and which mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable or floating rate of interest. Taxable short-term investments of the Fund may include certificates of deposit issued by U.S. banks with assets of
at least $1 billion, or commercial paper or corporate notes, bonds or debentures with a remaining maturity of one year or less, or repurchase agreements. See &#147;Portfolio Composition&#151;Hedging Strategies and Other Uses of
Derivatives&#151;Repurchase Agreements.&#148; To the extent the Fund invests in taxable investments, the Fund will not at such times be in a position to achieve its investment objective of tax-exempt income. For a more complete discussion of the

(including ETFs) that invest primarily in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund generally expects that it may invest in other investment companies either during periods when it has large amounts of
uninvested cash, such as the period shortly after the Fund receives the proceeds of the offering of its Common Stock, or during periods when there is a shortage of attractive municipal securities available in the market. The Fund may invest in
investment companies that are advised by NAM or its affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or pursuant to exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a shareholder in an investment company, the Fund will bear
its ratable share of that investment company&#146;s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the Fund&#146;s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Common Stockholders would therefore be subject to duplicative
expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NAM will take expenses into account when evaluating
the investment merits of an investment in the investment company relative to available municipal security instruments. In addition, because the securities of other investment companies may be leveraged and subject to the same leverage risk, the Fund
may indirectly be subject to those risks described in the Fund&#146;s Prospectus. Market value will tend to fluctuate more than the yield generated by unleveraged shares. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Portfolio trading may be undertaken to accomplish the Fund&#146;s investment objectives. In addition, a security may be sold and another
of comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what NAM believes to be a temporary price disparity between the two securities. Temporary price disparities between two comparable securities may result from supply
and demand imbalances where, for example, a temporary oversupply of certain securities may cause a temporarily low price for such securities, as compared with other securities of like quality and characteristics. The Fund may also engage to a
limited extent in short-term trading consistent with its investment objectives. Securities may be sold in anticipation of a market decline (a rise in interest rates) or purchased in anticipation of a market rise (a decline in interest rates) and
later sold, but the Fund will not engage in trading solely to recognize a gain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

there are no limits on the Fund&#146;s rate of portfolio turnover, and investments may be sold without regard to length of time held when, in NAM&#146;s opinion, investment considerations warrant such action. A higher portfolio turnover rate would
result in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund. Although these commissions and expenses are not reflected in the Fund&#146;s &#147;Total Annual Expenses&#148; on page 13 of the
Fund&#146;s Prospectus, they will be reflected in the Fund&#146;s total return. In addition, high portfolio turnover may result in the realization of net short-term capital gains by the Fund which, when distributed to shareholders, will be taxable

advisor. The Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of directors who serve on the board of every fund in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the Directors seek to provide effective
governance through establishing a board, the overall composition of which, will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, independence and experience to oversee the Nuveen Funds&#146; business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board,
through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the Directors consider, not only the candidate&#146;s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background,
skills and experience enhance the Board&#146;s diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that

its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity. </FONT></P>
 <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the
structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same complex generally are served by the same service providers and personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which raises common issues that must be addressed by the directors
across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation or risk management). The Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures which increases the
Board&#146;s knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Board&#146;s influence and oversight over the investment advisor and other service
providers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board also has a Chairman that is an independent
Director. The Board recognizes that a chairman can perform an important role in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for fund management, and reinforcing the
Board&#146;s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chairman may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with fund management. Accordingly, the
Directors have elected Robert P. Bremner as the independent Chairman of the Board. Specific responsibilities of the Chairman include: (i)&nbsp;presiding at all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders; (ii)&nbsp;seeing that all orders and
resolutions of the Directors are carried into effect; and (iii)&nbsp;maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings of the Directors and the shareholders. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and Fund
performance), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities through several committees that it has established and which report back to the full Board. The Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means to
permit Directors to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Nuveen Funds, including risk oversight. More specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain
committees (as summarized below) as well as certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of Directors among the different committees allows the Directors to gain additional and different perspectives
of the Fund&#146;s operations. The Board has established five standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee and the Nominating and
Governance Committee. The Board may also from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises. The membership and functions of the standing committees are summarized below. </FONT></P>

committee of the Fund. The executive committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive committee, unless otherwise
specifically authorized by the full Board, is limited to: (i)&nbsp;emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly notify each individual Board Member of the
actions taken by the executive committee) and (ii)&nbsp;matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. During the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2009, the Executive Committee did not meet. </FONT></P>

Committee. The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Trust&#146;s shares including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. During the fiscal year ended

Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee (the &#147;Compliance Committee&#148;) is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Nuveen Funds that are not otherwise the
jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to address the Nuveen Funds&#146; compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee reviews the policies
and procedures relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Nuveen Funds arise from time to time;
evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or
regulatory matters as requested by the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight,

elements, such as leverage; and techniques that may be used to address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing issues brought to the committee&#146;s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or
strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Nuveen Funds in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Nuveen Funds and their shareholders. In fulfilling its obligations, the Compliance
Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and at least once a year in person. The Compliance Committee receives written and oral reports from the Nuveen Funds&#146; Chief Compliance Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;) and meets privately with the CCO at each of
its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an annual report to the full Board regarding the operations of the Nuveen Funds&#146; and other service providers&#146; compliance programs as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. The
Compliance Committee also receives reports from the investment services group of Nuveen regarding various investment risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates in discussions with management regarding certain matters
relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage and hedging. The investment services group therefore also reports to the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other things, Fund performance and the various drivers of such
performance. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in conjunction with the Compliance Committee oversees matters relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The committee
operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. The members of the Compliance Committee are William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Carole E. Stone. During the fiscal year ended
October&nbsp;31, 2009, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee met four times. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Audit
Committee</I>. The Audit Committee assists the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices of the Nuveen Funds, and the audits of the financial statements of the Nuveen Funds; the quality
and integrity of the financial statements of the Nuveen Funds; the Nuveen Funds&#146; compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Nuveen Funds&#146; financial statements; the independent auditors&#146; qualifications,
performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the Nuveen Funds and the internal valuation group of Nuveen. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board
and, if applicable, shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation. The Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things, overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the Nuveen Funds&#146; portfolios. Subject to the
Board&#146;s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Nuveen Funds&#146; pricing procedures and actions taken by Nuveen&#146;s internal valuation group which provides regular reports to
the committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Directors Funds&#146; securities brought to its attention and considers the risks to the Funds in assessing the possible resolutions to these matters. The Audit Committee may also

place with respect to risk assessment as well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Nuveen Funds&#146; financial statements. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Members of the

performance and processes, the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. Although the unitary and
committee structure has been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance Committee believes the structure has provided efficient and effective governance, the committee recognizes that as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as
through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary
or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and committee structures, their performance and functions, and
recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Board&#146;s governance over the Nuveen Funds&#146; business. </FONT></P>

Directors; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with members of the Board; and periodically reviews and makes
recommendations about any appropriate changes to Director compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent
in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Directors and
reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Directors. In considering a candidate&#146;s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and
experience, time availability (including the time requirements for due diligence site visits to internal and external sub-advisors and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent Director candidate, independence from the Advisor,
sub-advisors, underwriters or other service providers, including any affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range
of skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent Directors at the time
of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence, governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and with
management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board members. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. This committee is composed of the independent Directors of the Nuveen
Funds. Accordingly, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E. Stone and Terence J. Toth. During the

this standard. An effective Board Member may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the

Nuveen Investments significantly increased its level of debt in connection with the MDP Acquisition. As of June 30, 2010, Nuveen Investments had outstanding approximately $3.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness, with $360 million
of available cash on hand. Nuveen Investments believes that monies generated from operations and cash on hand will be adequate to fund debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future;
however, Nuveen Investments&#146; ability to continue to fund these items, to service its debt and to maintain compliance with covenants in its debt agreements may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, legal and
regulatory factors and by its ability to refinance or repay outstanding indebtedness with scheduled maturities beginning in 2013. In the event that Nuveen Investments breaches certain of the covenants included in its debt agreements, the breach of
such covenants may result in the accelerated payment of its outstanding debt, increase the cost of such debt or generally have an adverse effect on the financial condition of Nuveen Investments. The risks, uncertainties and other factors related to
Nuveen Investments&#146; business, the effects of which may cause its assets under management, earnings, revenues and/or profit margins to decline, are described in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are publicly

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Responsibility for managing NAM&#146;s clients&#146; portfolios is organized according to
investment strategies. Generally, client portfolios with similar strategies are managed using the same objectives, approach and philosophy. Therefore, portfolio holdings, relative position sizes and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar
portfolios which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NAM may receive more compensation with respect to certain
Similar Accounts than that received with respect to the Fund or may receive compensation based in part on the performance of certain Similar Accounts. This may create a potential conflict of interest for the Fund&#146;s portfolio manager by
providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example, placing securities transactions. Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of limited
investment opportunities. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability, and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NAM has policies and procedures designed to manage these conflicts described above such as allocation of investment
opportunities to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example, orders for the same equity security are aggregated on a continual basis throughout each trading day consistent with
NAM&#146;s duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an average price basis. Partially completed orders will be allocated among the
participating accounts on a pro-rata average price basis as well. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Compensation</I>. The Fund&#146;s portfolio
manager&#146;s compensation consists of three basic elements&#151;base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation to the market in order to create a compensation
structure that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio manager&#146;s total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among
others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager&#146;s investment team, the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen Investments (the
parent company of NAM). Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio manager&#146;s compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager&#146;s performance is evaluated in part by comparing the
portfolio manager&#146;s performance against a specified investment benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds in the Fund&#146;s specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the S&amp;P/Investortools
Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2 million. As of
October&nbsp;31, 2009, the S&amp;P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 54,552 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,178 billion. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Base salary</I>. The Fund&#146;s portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level determined by NAM in accordance with
its overall compensation strategy discussed above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a portfolio manager&#146;s base salary. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Cash bonus</I>. The Fund&#146;s portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The level of this bonus is based
upon evaluations and determinations made by each portfolio manager&#146;s supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of factors, including the effectiveness of the
investment strategies recommended to NAM&#146;s investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts, his effectiveness in communicating investment
performance to shareholders and their representatives, and his contribution to NAM&#146;s investment process and to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments in
achieving its business objectives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Long-term incentive compensation</I>. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen

allocation policies that are designed to ensure (1)&nbsp;that portfolio management is seeking the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2)&nbsp;fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over
time and (3)&nbsp;compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund invests primarily in municipal securities. On rare occasions the Fund may acquire, directly or through a special purpose
vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer whose bonds the Fund already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of acquiring equity securities generally
will be to acquire control of the municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer&#146;s credit problem. In the course of exercising control of a
distressed municipal issuer, NAM may pursue the Fund&#146;s interests in a variety of ways, which may entail negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not
consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, but nevertheless provides reports to the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors on its control activities on a quarterly basis.

issued by a cash management security, NAM would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors or its
representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be submitted to the Fund&#146;s Board to determine how the proxy should be voted. A member of NAM&#146;s legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and
ensure that records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.

the main factors to be considered will be the respective investment objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment and the size of investment commitments generally
held. While this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the benefits available from NAM&#146;s organization will
outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not

for municipal bonds, the pricing service establishes a security&#146;s fair value based on various factors, including prices of comparable fixed income securities utilizing a matrix pricing system. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair
value pricing, it is possible that the fair value determined for a particular security may be different from the value realized upon the sale of the security. </FONT></P>

Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock being offered has a par value of $0.01 per share and has equal rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon
liquidation. The shares of Common Stock being offered will, when issued, be fully paid and, subject to matters discussed in &#147;Certain Provisions in the Articles of Incorporation,&#148; non-assessable, and will have no pre-emptive, conversion or
exchange rights or rights to cumulative voting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Common Stock is listed on the New York Exchange and trades under the

shareholder determines to buy additional shares of Common Stock or sell shares already held, the shareholder may conveniently do so by trading on the exchange through a broker or otherwise. Shares of closed-end investment companies may frequently
trade on an exchange at prices lower than net asset value. Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Fund have during some periods traded at prices higher than net asset value and have during other periods traded at prices lower than net
asset value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because the market value of the shares of Common Stock may be influenced by such factors as distribution levels
(which are in turn affected by expenses), call protection, dividend stability, portfolio credit quality, net asset value, relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, general market and economic conditions, and other factors beyond
the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot assure you that shares of Common Stock will trade at a price equal to or higher than net asset value in the future. The Common Stock is designed primarily for long-term investors, and investors in the Common
Stock should not view the Fund as a vehicle for trading purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NO PREFERRED SHARES </B></FONT></P>

instruments without the approval of the Common Stockholders. However, if the Fund issues preferred shares, the Common Stockholders will not be entitled to receive any cash distributions from the Fund unless all accrued dividends on preferred shares
have been paid, and unless asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) with respect to preferred shares would be at least 200% after giving effect to the distributions. </FONT></P>

Fund may issue Borrowings (including bank borrowings or commercial paper and may secure any such Borrowings by mortgaging, pledging or otherwise subjecting as security the Fund&#146;s assets. In connection with such Borrowings, the Fund may be
required to maintain minimum average balances with the lender or to pay a commitment or other fee to maintain a line of credit. Any such requirements would increase the cost of any such Borrowings over the stated interest rate. Under the
requirements of the 1940 Act, the Fund, immediately after any Borrowings, must have an asset coverage of at least 300%. With respect to any such Borrowings, asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all
liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act), bears to the aggregate amount of such Borrowings represented by senior securities issued by the Fund. </FONT></P>

circumstances. Further, the 1940 Act would (in certain circumstances) grant to the lenders to the Fund certain voting rights in the event of default in the payment of interest on or repayment of principal. In the event that such provisions would
impair the Fund&#146;s status as a regulated investment company under the Code (as defined under &#147;Tax Matters&#148;), the Fund would repay the Borrowings. Any Borrowings will likely be ranked senior or equal to all other existing and future

shareholder of a corporation is under no obligation to the corporation or its creditors with respect to the shares subscribed for or owned, except to pay the corporation the full agreed-upon consideration for the shares. However, a shareholder who
receives a distribution which is made in violation of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act&#146;s limitations on distributions is liable to the corporation to the extent that the distribution exceeded the amount that properly could have been paid.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Fund&#146;s obligations are not binding upon the Fund&#146;s directors
individually, but only upon the Fund&#146;s assets and property and provide for the indemnification of directors individually by the Fund for certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund to the maximum extent
permitted under Minnesota law. Nothing in the Articles of Incorporation, however, protects a director against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Anti Takeover Provisions</I>. The Articles of
Incorporation include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or to convert the Fund to open-end status. The Articles of Incorporation require the Board of Directors be divided into three
classes with staggered terms. See the SAI under &#147;Management of the Fund.&#148; This provision in the Articles of Incorporation could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board of Directors. Specifically, the Articles
of Incorporation require a vote by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Common Stock to authorize (1)&nbsp;a conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company, (2)&nbsp;a merger or consolidation of the Fund with
any corporation or a reorganization or recapitalization (3)&nbsp;a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Fund&#146;s assets (other than in the regular course of the Fund&#146;s investment activities), (4)&nbsp;a liquidation or
dissolution of the Fund, unless such action has previously been approved, adopted or authorized by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total number of directors fixed in accordance with the By-Laws, or (5)&nbsp;a removal of directors by
shareholders, and then only for cause, in which case the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Fund&#146;s outstanding Common Stock is required. Approval of shareholders is not required, however, for any transaction, whether
deemed a merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise whereby the Fund issues shares in connection with the acquisition of assets (including those subject to liabilities) from any other investment company or similar entity. None of the
foregoing provisions may be amended except by the vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Common Stock. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
provisions of the Articles of Incorporation described above could have the effect of depriving the Common Stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at a premium over the then current market price of the shares of Common
Stock by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund in a tender offer or similar transaction. The overall effect of these provisions is to render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger or the assumption of control
by a third party. They provide, however, the advantage of potentially requiring persons seeking control of the Fund to negotiate with its management regarding the price to be paid and facilitating the continuity of the Fund&#146;s investment
objectives and policies. The Board of Directors of the Fund has considered the foregoing anti-takeover provisions and concluded that they are in the best interests of the Fund and its Common Stockholders. </FONT></P>

</FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund is a closed-end investment company and as such its shareholders will not have the right to cause the Fund to
redeem their shares. Instead, the Fund&#146;s shares of Common Stock will trade in the open market at a price that will be a function of several factors, including dividend levels (which are in turn affected by expenses), net asset value, call
protection, price, dividend stability, relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, general market and economic conditions and other factors. Because shares of a closed-end investment company may frequently trade at prices lower than
net asset value, the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors has currently determined that, at least annually, it will consider action that might be taken to reduce or eliminate any material discount from net asset value in respect of shares of Common Stock,
which may include the repurchase of such shares in the open market or in private transactions, the making of a tender offer for such shares at net asset value, or the conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Board of Directors will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers, if undertaken, will reduce market discount. In addition, on October 3, 2009, the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors
approved an open market share repurchase program under which the Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its Common Stock. To date, the Fund has not repurchased any Common Stock under the program. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires that any tender offer made by a closed-end investment company
for its shares must be at a price equal to the net asset value of such shares at the close of business on the last day of the tender offer. Any service fees incurred in connection with any tender offer made by the Fund will be borne by the Fund and
will not reduce the stated consideration to be paid to tendering shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to its investment limitations, the
Fund may borrow to finance the repurchase of shares or to make a tender offer. Interest on any borrowings to finance share repurchase transactions or the accumulation of cash by the Fund in anticipation of share repurchases or tenders will reduce
the Fund&#146;s net income. Any share repurchase, tender offer or borrowing that might be approved by the Board of Directors would have to comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the decision to take action in response to a discount from net asset value will be made by the Board of
the Fund at the time it considers such issue, it is the Board&#146;s present policy, which may be changed by the Board, not to authorize repurchases of shares of Common Stock or a tender offer for such shares if (1)&nbsp;such transactions, if

company to redeem their shares on any business day (except in certain circumstances as authorized by or under the 1940 Act) at their net asset value, less such redemption charge, if any, as might be in effect at the time of redemption. In order to
avoid maintaining large cash positions or liquidating favorable investments to meet redemptions, open-end companies typically engage in a continuous offering of their shares. Open-end companies are thus subject to periodic asset in-flows and
out-flows that can complicate portfolio management. The Board of Directors of the Fund may at any time propose conversion of the Fund to an open-end company depending upon their judgment as to the advisability of such action in light of

capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any, are taxable as long-term capital gain, regardless of the length of time the shareholder has owned the shares with respect to which such distributions are made. The amount of taxable income
allocable to the Fund&#146;s shares will depend upon the amount of such income realized by the Fund, but is not generally expected to be significant. Distributions, if any, in excess of the Fund&#146;s earnings and profits will first reduce the
adjusted tax basis of a shareholder&#146;s shares and, after that basis has been reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain to the shareholder (assuming the shares are held as a capital asset). As long as the Fund qualifies as a regulated
investment company under the Code, it is not expected that any part of its distributions to stockholders from its investments will qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders or as &#147;qualified dividend

redemption, sale or exchange of Common Stock normally will result in capital gain or loss to holders of Common Stock who hold their shares as capital assets. Generally a shareholder&#146;s gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the
shares have been held for more than one year even though the increase in value in such Common Stock is attributable to tax-exempt interest income. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the same rates
applicable to ordinary income. For non-corporate taxpayers, however, long-term capital gains are currently taxed at a maximum rate of 15%, while short-term capital gains and other ordinary income are currently taxed at ordinary income rates. Absent
further legislation, the maximum rates applicable to long-term capital gains will cease to apply to taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2010 and the maximum rate on long-term capital gains will return under current law to 20%. Any loss
on the sale of Common Stock that have been held for six months or less will be disallowed to the extent of any distribution of exempt-interest dividends received with respect to such Common Stock. If a shareholder sells or otherwise disposes of
shares of Common Stock before holding them for six months, any loss on the sale or disposition will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the common shareholder. Any loss realized on a sale or
exchange of shares of the Fund will be disallowed to the extent those shares of the Fund are replaced by other substantially identical shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of
disposition of the original shares. In that event, the basis of the replacement shares of the Fund will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. </FONT></P>

certain municipal obligations, such as bonds issued to make loans for housing purposes or to private entities (but not to certain tax-exempt organizations such as universities and non-profit hospitals) is included as an item of tax preference in
determining the amount of a taxpayer&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income. To the extent that the Fund receives income from municipal obligations subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund,
although otherwise exempt from federal income tax, will be taxable to its shareholders to the extent that their tax liability is determined under the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will annually provide a report indicating the percentage
of the Fund&#146;s income attributable to municipal obligations subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, for certain corporations, federal alternative minimum taxable income is increased by 75% of the difference between an
alternative measure of income (&#147;adjusted current earnings&#148;) and the amount otherwise determined to be the alternative minimum taxable income. Interest on all municipal obligations, and therefore all distributions by the Fund that would
otherwise be tax-exempt, is included in calculating a corporation&#146;s adjusted current earnings. Certain small corporations are not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s issue credit rating is a current opinion of the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a
specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors,
insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and takes into account the currency in which the obligation is denominated. The opinion evaluates the obligor&#146;s capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they
come due, and may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default. The issue credit rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a financial obligation, inasmuch
as it does not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Issue credit ratings are based on current

on unaudited financial information. Credit ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or based on other circumstances. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Issue credit ratings can be either long term or short term. Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days&#151;including commercial paper. Short-term ratings are also used to indicate the creditworthiness of an obligor
with respect to put features on long-term obligations. The result is a dual rating, in which the short-term rating addresses the put feature, in addition to the usual long-term rating. Medium-term notes are assigned long-term ratings. </FONT></P>

future is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security for a set price on a future date. They have been designed by boards of trade which have been designated &#147;contracts markets&#148; by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(&#147;CFTC&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase of financial futures is for the purpose of hedging the Fund&#146;s existing or anticipated
holdings of long-term debt securities. For example, if the Fund desires to increase its exposure to long-term bonds and has identified long-term bonds it wishes to purchase at a future time, but expects market interest rates to decline (thereby
causing the value of those bonds to increase), it might purchase financial futures. If interest rates did decrease, the value of those to-be-purchased long-term bonds would increase, but the value of the Fund&#146;s financial futures would be
expected to increase at approximately the same rate, thereby helping maintain the Fund&#146;s purchasing power. When the Fund purchases a financial future, it deposits in cash or securities an &#147;initial margin&#148;, typically equal to an amount
between 1% and 5% of the contract amount. Thereafter, the Fund&#146;s account is either credited or debited on a daily basis in correlation with the fluctuation in price of the underlying future or other requirements imposed by the exchange in order
to maintain an orderly market. The Fund must make additional payments to cover debits to its account and has the right to withdraw credits in excess of the liquidity, the Fund may close out its position at any time prior to expiration of the
financial future by taking an opposite position. At closing a final determination of debits and credits is made, additional cash is paid by or to the Fund to settle the final determination and the Fund realizes a loss or gain depending on whether on
a net basis it made or received such payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The sale of financial futures is for the purpose of hedging the Fund&#146;s
existing or anticipated holdings of long-term debt securities. For example, if the Fund owns long-term bonds and market interest rates were expected to increase (causing those bonds&#146; values to decline), it might sell financial futures. If
interest rates did increase, the value of long-term bonds in the Fund&#146;s portfolio would decline, but the value of the Fund&#146;s financial futures would be expected to increase at approximately the same rate thereby keeping the net asset value
of the Fund from declining as much as it otherwise would have. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Among the risks associated with the use of financial futures
by the Fund as a hedging or anticipatory device, perhaps the most significant is the imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the financial futures and movements in the price of the debt securities which are the subject of the hedge.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Thus, if the price of the financial future moves less or more than the price of the securities which are the subject of the
hedge, the hedge will not be fully effective. To compensate for this imperfect correlation, the Fund may enter into financial futures in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of the securities being hedged if the historical volatility of
the prices of such securities has been greater than the historical volatility of the financial futures. Conversely, the Fund may enter into fewer financial futures if the historical volatility of the price of the securities being hedged is less than
the historical volatility of the financial futures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market prices of financial futures may also be affected by factors
other than interest rates. One of these factors is the possibility that rapid changes in the volume of closing transactions, whether due to volatile markets or movements by speculators, would temporarily distort the normal relationship between the
markets in the financial future and the chosen debt securities. In these circumstances as well as in periods of rapid and large price movements. The Fund might find it difficult or impossible to close out a particular transaction. </FONT></P>

closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. The purchase of put options on financial futures is analogous to the purchase of put options by the Fund on its portfolio securities to hedge against the risk of
rising interest rates. As with options on debt securities, the holder of an option may terminate his position by selling an option of the Fund. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected. </FONT></P>

Board of Trade. The index fluctuates with changes in the market values of all tax-exempt bonds included rather than a single bond. An index future is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of
cash-rather than any security-equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index future was originally written. Thus, an index future
is similar to traditional financial futures except that settlement is made in cash. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">INDEX OPTIONS </FONT></P>

with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. Options on index futures are similar to options on debt instruments except that an option on an index future gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a
position in an index contract rather than an underlying security at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder
of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance of the writer&#146;s futures margin account which represents the amount by which the market price of the index futures contract, at exercise, is less than the exercise price of
the option on the index future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Bond index futures and options transactions would be subject to risks similar to transactions

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors, typically for periods ranging from a few weeks
to several years. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped
between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount (the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) of a particular security, or in a basket of
securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements may include, by way of example, (i)&nbsp;interest rate swaps, in which one party exchanges a commitment to pay a floating, shorter-term interest rate (typically by reference to the rate of
a specific security or index) for the other party&#146;s commitment to pay a fixed, longer-term interest rate (either as specifically agreed, or by reference to a specified security or index); (ii)&nbsp;interest rate caps, in which, in return for a
premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate or cap; (iii)&nbsp;interest rate floors, in which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the
extent that interest rates fall below a specified level or floor; (iv)&nbsp;interest rate collars, in which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor, or vice versa, in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given
minimum or maximum levels or collar amounts; (v)&nbsp;total return swaps, in which one party commits to pay the total return of an underlying security or asset in return for receiving from the other party a

specified return or the return of another instrument (typically a floating short-term interest rate), and (vi)&nbsp;credit default swap, in which the buyer pays a periodic fee in return for a
contingent payment by the seller upon a credit event (such as a default) happening with respect to a specified instrument, typically in an amount equivalent to the loss incurred on a specific investment in that security due to the credit event.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Fund may enter into such swap agreements for any purpose consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective, such as for
the purpose of attempting to obtain, enhance, or preserve a particular desired return or spread at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return or spread. The Fund also may enter
into swaps in order to protect against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Whether the Fund&#146;s use of swap agreements will be successful in furthering its investment objective will depend, in part, on the
ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments and the changes in the future values, indices, or rates covered by the swap agreement. Swap agreements may be considered
to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The Fund will enter swap agreements only with
counterparties that the Adviser reasonably believes are capable of performing under the swap agreements. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Fund will have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Certain restrictions imposed on the Fund by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may limit the Fund&#146;s ability to use swap agreements. The swap market is
largely unregulated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Corporation serve or have served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in one or more such capacities. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding (including costs connected with the preparation of a settlement) may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if authorized by the Board of Directors in
the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay that amount of the advance which exceeds the amount which it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to receive from the
Corporation by reason of indemnification as authorized herein; provided, however, that prior to making any such advance at least one of the following conditions shall have been met: (1) the indemnitee shall provide a security for his undertaking,
(2) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (3) a majority of a quorum of the disinterested, non-party directors of the Corporation, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall
determine, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification. </FONT></P>

conduct of his office (&#147;disabling conduct&#148;), and the Corporation shall not indemnify any of its officers or directors against any liability to the Corporation or to its security holders unless a determination shall have been made in the
manner provided hereafter that such liability has not arisen from such officer&#146;s or director&#146;s disabling conduct. A determination that an officer or director is entitled to indemnification shall have been properly made if it is based upon
(1) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of disabling conduct or, (2) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a
review of the facts, that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940 nor parties to the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Corporation or to its security holders unless a determination shall have been made in the manner provided hereafter that such liability has not arisen from such officer&#146;s or director&#146;s disabling conduct. A determination that an officer or
director is entitled to indemnification shall have been properly made if it is based upon (1)&nbsp;a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of
disabling conduct or, (2)&nbsp;in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, by (a)&nbsp;the vote of a majority of a quorum of
directors who are neither &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 nor parties to the proceeding, or (b)&nbsp;an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. </FONT></P>

option of the shareholders, each Participant shall take such distribution entirely in shares and U.S. Trust shall automatically receive such shares, including fractions, for the Participant&#146;s account, except in circumstances described in
Paragraph 3 below. Except in such circumstances, the number of additional shares to be credited to each Participant&#146;s account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution payable on the Participant&#146;s shares by the
current market price per share on the payable date for such distribution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">3. Should the net asset value per Fund share exceed the market
price per share on the day for which trades will settle on the payment date for such distribution (the &#147;Valuation Date&#148;) for a distribution payable in shares or in cash at the option of the shareholder, or should the Fund declare a
distribution payable only in cash, each Participant shall take such distribution in cash and U.S. Trust shall apply the amount of such distribution to the purchase on the open market of shares of the Fund for the Participant&#146;s account. Such
Plan purchases shall be made as early as the Valuation Date, under the supervision of the investment adviser. U.S. Trust shall complete such Plan purchases no more than 30 days after the Valuation Date, except where temporary curtailment or
suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities law. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">4. For the purpose of this Plan, the
market price of the Fund&#146;s shares on a particular date shall be the last sale price on the Exchange where it is traded on that date, or if there is no sale on such Exchange on that date, then the mean between the closing bid and asked
quotations for such shares on such Exchange on such date. </FONT></P>

$100 to $500, to U.S. Trust for the purchase on the open market of the Fund&#146;s shares for their account. Such voluntary payments will be invested on or shortly after the 15th of January and the 15th of July; and in no event more than 30 days
after such dates except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities law. Funds received more than 30 business days, or fewer than 5 business days, prior to the
investment date, will be returned uninvested. Participants may withdraw their entire voluntary cash payment by written notice received by U.S. Trust not less than 48 hours before such payment is to be invested. </FONT></P>

Fund&#146;s shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as U.S. Trust shall determine. Participants&#146; funds held uninvested by U.S. Trust will not
bear interest, and it is understood that, in any event, U.S. Trust shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase shares within 30 days after the Valuation Date as herein provided, or with the timing of any purchases affected.
U.S. Trust shall have no responsibility as to the value of the Fund&#146;s shares acquired for Participants&#146; accounts. U.S. Trust may commingle all Participants&#146; amounts to be used for open-market purchases of Fund shares and the price per
share allocable to each Participant in connection with such purchases shall be the average price (including brokerage commissions and other related costs) of all Fund shares purchased by U.S. Trust as Agent. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">7. U.S. Trust may hold each Participant&#146;s shares acquired pursuant to this Plan, together with the shares of other Participants, in non-certificated

after the date thereof. U.S. Trust will deliver to any Participant upon request, without charge, a certificate or certificates for his full shares. Although a Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three
decimal places) in a share of the Fund, and distributions on fractional shares will be credited to the Participant&#146;s account, no certificates for a fractional share will be issued. In the event of termination of a Participant&#146;s account
under the Plan, U.S. Trust will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest at the market value of the Fund&#146;s shares at the time of termination. </FONT></P>

Participant in calculating the number of rights to be issued to that Participant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

prior to any distribution record date for the next succeeding distribution; otherwise such termination will be effective shortly after the investment of such distribution with respect to all subsequent distributions. The Plan may be terminated by
the Fund or U.S. Trust upon at least 90 days prior notice. Upon any termination, U.S. Trust will cause a certificate or certificates for the full shares held for each Participant under the Plan and cash adjustment for any fraction to be delivered to
the Participant without charge. If any Participant elects in advance of such termination to have U.S. Trust sell part or all of his shares, U.S. Trust is authorized to deduct from the proceeds a $2.50 fee plus the brokerage commissions incurred for
the transaction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">12. These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by U.S. Trust or the Fund at any time or times but, except

to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, U.S. Trust receives notice of the termination of such Participant&#146;s account under the
Plan in accordance with the terms hereof. Any such amendment may include an appointment by U.S. Trust in its place and stead of a successor Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any Agent for the purpose of receiving
distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Agent, for each Participant&#146;s account, all dividends and distributions payable on shares of the Fund held in the Participant&#146;s name or under the Plan for retention or

current payments of such compensation, and to treat any deferred amount as though an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more Eligible Funds. Each Board intends that the Plan shall be maintained at all times on an unfunded
basis for federal income tax purposes under the Code. The Plan is not covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. </FONT></P>

(ii)&nbsp;if a change in the Participant&#146;s payment election would result in the commencement of payment in a given Plan Year, the change may in no event be made later than the end of the annual enrollment period occurring prior to the first day
of such Plan Year. With the exception of this Section&nbsp;1.3 the provisions of this amended and restated Plan shall not apply to such Grandfathered Account. The Pre-2005 Plan shall be deemed to constitute a separate plan for purposes of Section
