invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund&#146;s investment adviser. Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominately speculative
characteristics with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. Managed Assets are net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings

to this tax. Taxable income or gain earned by the Fund will be allocated proportionately to holders of Preferred Stock and common shares, based on the percentage of total Preferred Stock dividends relative to common share dividends.

withdrawn in the Rating Agencies&#146; discretion. The Fund, however, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause at least one Rating Agency (as defined in this prospectus) to publish a credit rating with respect to MTP Shares for so long as
MTP Shares are outstanding. The Fixed Dividend Rate will be subject to an increase in the event that the ratings of the MTP Shares by the Rating Agencies are each downgraded below such minimum levels or if no Rating Agency is then rating the shares.
See &#147;Description of MTP Shares&#151;Dividends and Dividend Periods&#151;Adjustment to Fixed Dividend Rate&#151;Ratings.&#148; The Board of Trustees of the Fund has the right to terminate the designation of any of the Rating Agencies for
purposes of the MTP Shares, provided that at least one Rating Agency continues to maintain a rating with respect to the MTP Shares. In such event, any rating of such terminated Rating Agency, to the extent it would have been taken into account in
any of the provisions of the MTP Shares which are described in this prospectus or included in the Statement, will be disregarded, and only the ratings of the then-designated Rating Agencies will be taken into account. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

generated by assets held to maturity. S&amp;P has requested comments on the S&amp;P Proposal and the comment period ended October 29, 2010. S&amp;P stated that after the comment period expired, it would review the comments and publish updated

addition, any market value securities (including the MTP Shares offered hereby) that had a rating of AAA from S&amp;P prior to the adoption of the proposed criteria may be unable to maintain such rating after the adoption of such criteria, if
adopted as proposed. In the event that S&amp;P downgrades the MTP Shares, the Fixed Dividend Rate would not change. However, if each of the other Rating Agencies also downgrades the MTP Shares, the Fixed Dividend Rate would increase. See

<TD><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes and to enhance portfolio value relative to the
municipal bond market by investing in tax-exempt municipal bonds that the Fund&#146;s investment adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, believes are underrated or undervalued or that represent municipal market sectors that are undervalued. Under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one NRSRO or are unrated
but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of
comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. No more than 10% of the Fund&#146;s Managed Assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management.
Municipal securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. See
&#147;Risks&#151;General Risks of Investing in the Fund&#151;Credit and Below Investment Grade Risk.&#148; Managed Assets are net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial
paper or notes) and any Preferred Stock outstanding. During temporary defensive periods and in order to keep the Fund&#146;s cash fully invested, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in short-term investments including high quality,
short-term securities that may be either tax-exempt or taxable. A portion of the dividends from MTP Shares may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. See

the risks of investing in MTP Shares. In the event that one or more of the Rating Agencies do not issue a rating on the MTP Shares at all or at the minimum level required, the issuance and sale of MTP Shares in this offering may not be completed. A
rating issued by a Rating Agency is only the opinion of the entity issuing the rating at that time, and is not a guarantee as to quality, or an assurance of the future performance, of the rated security (in this case, MTP Shares). In addition, the

securities market is one in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms&#146; capital became severely constrained. As a result, some firms were
unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal securities. 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 Fund&#146;s investment performance may therefore be more dependent on Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s analytical abilities than if the Fund were to invest in stocks or taxable bonds. As noted above, the secondary market for

improved significantly compared to 2009, households and small businesses continue to have difficulty borrowing, and credit continues to contract. The banking system remains fragile and vulnerable to negative shocks. If the labor market recovery
should falter further, household spending growth could be even less than expected. If equity markets fail to grow as projected, both financial sector income and taxable capital gains realizations could be negatively affected. These effects would
ripple through the State economy, depressing both employment and wage growth. An even weaker labor market than anticipated could also result in lower wages, which in turn could result in weaker household consumption. Similar to many municipal
issuers, the credit crisis could also impact the State&#146;s ability to sell bonds at the level (or on the timetable) expected, which would result in a weakened overall cash position for the State in the current fiscal year. The finances of local
governments in New York, particularly New York City and its suburbs, may be similarly affected. Pending litigation matters and matters involving Medicaid reimbursements could further impact the State&#146;s finances by causing New York State and New

$21,901,600, or $25,234,840, assuming the underwriters exercise an overallotment option of 338,400 MTP Shares, after payment of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. The Fund intends to use the net proceeds from
the sale of MTP Shares to refinance and redeem all of the Fund&#146;s outstanding MuniPreferred shares, and to maintain the Fund&#146;s leveraged capital structure. To the extent the underwriters purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments,
the proceeds to the Fund from such additional purchase will be invested in accordance with the Fund&#146;s investment policies. Such redemption of the MuniPreferred shares is expected to occur within four weeks of the closing of the offering.

to change its methods and assumptions for rating certain &#147;market value securities,&#148; including those issued by registered closed-end funds such as the MTP Shares to be issued by the Fund. The S&amp;P Proposal defined &#147;market value
securities&#148; as those whose source of repayment is liquidation proceeds generated from open market sales of assets (in the Fund&#146;s case, portfolio securities), rather than cash flow generated by assets held to maturity. S&amp;P has requested
comments on the S&amp;P Proposal and the comment period ended October 29, 2010. S&amp;P stated that after the comment period expired, it would review the comments and publish updated criteria methodology and assumptions, which would be applicable to
all outstanding S&amp;P ratings of market value securities. S&amp;P has not yet published updated criteria methodology and assumptions. The updated criteria, if adopted by S&amp;P, may be the same as proposed or may differ based upon comments
received by S&amp;P. Under the current S&amp;P Proposal, when rating market value securities (including MTP Shares) issued by the Fund, S&amp;P would substantially increase the reductions in value, or &#147;haircuts,&#148; applied to the Fund&#146;s
portfolio securities compared with its present methodology. Due to these increased haircuts, any market value securities issued by the Fund (including MTP Shares) in the future may be ineligible for a AAA rating from S&amp;P. In addition, any market
value securities (including the MTP Shares offered hereby) that had a rating of AAA from S&amp;P prior to the adoption of the proposed criteria may be unable to maintain such rating after the adoption of such criteria, if adopted as proposed. In the
event that S&amp;P downgrades the MTP Shares, the Fixed Dividend Rate would not change. However, if each of the other Rating Agencies also downgrades the MTP Shares, the Fixed Dividend Rate would increase. See &#147;Description of MTP
Shares&#151;Dividends and Dividend Periods&#151;Adjustments to Fixed Dividend Rate&#151;Ratings.&#148; Nevertheless, a downgrade by S&amp;P could adversely affect the market pricing and liquidity of the MTP Shares. There can be no assurance that
S&amp;P will or will not take any action with respect to the S&amp;P Proposal or that any such action would not result in a downgrade of MTP Shares. Further, there can be no assurance that any other rating agency will not also alter its rating
criteria resulting in downgrades of ratings, which could further adversely affect the market pricing and liquidity of MTP Shares. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

10% of the Fund&#146;s Managed Assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as
having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. Managed Assets are net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any
borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) and any Preferred Stock outstanding. The foregoing credit quality policies apply only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to dispose of a security in the
event that a rating agency downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issue. In determining whether to retain or sell such a security, Nuveen Asset Management may consider such factors as its assessment of the credit
quality of the issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to such security by other rating agencies. A general description of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P&#146;s and Fitch&#146;s ratings of
municipal securities is set forth in Appendix B to the SAI. The Fund may also invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in municipal bonds of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.

securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income tax. Municipal securities are generally debt obligations issued by state and local governmental entities and may
be issued by U.S.&nbsp;territories to finance or refinance public projects such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal securities may also be issued 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 on long term debt. Municipal securities may be issued and purchased 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 security, which may increase the effective leverage of the Fund. </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 municipal securities in which the Fund will invest are generally issued by the State of New York, the City of New York, or a political
subdivision of either, and pay interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by Nuveen Asset Management to be reliable), is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City
income taxes, although the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest in municipal securities issued by U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico or Guam) that are exempt from regular federal, New York State and

S&amp;P&#146;s and Fitch&#146;s ratings represent their opinions of the quality of a particular municipal security, but these ratings are general and are not absolute quality standards. Therefore, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon,
and rating may have different yields, while municipal securities with the same maturity and coupon and different ratings may have the same yield. The market value of municipal securities will vary with changes in interest rates and in the ability of
their issuers to make interest and principal payments. </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

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Leases and Certificates of Participation.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund
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 that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations generally is 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&nbsp;ongoing basis. In order to reduce this risk, the Fund will only purchase municipal securities representing lease obligations where Nuveen Asset Management believes the issuer has a strong incentive to continue making
appropriations until maturity. </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">A certificate of
participation represents an undivided interest in an unmanaged pool of municipal leases, an installment purchase agreement or other instruments. The certificates are typically issued by a municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received
an assignment of the payments to be made by the state or political subdivision under such leases or installment purchase agreements. Such certificates provide the Fund with the right to a pro rata undivided interest in the underlying municipal
securities. In 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 interest. </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"><I>Municipal
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>

from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the pre-refunded municipal securities. Issuers 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

&#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: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term
floaters or tender option bonds) and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters or residual interest securities). Both classes of beneficial interests are represented by certificates. 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, the institution granting the tender option 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 bond 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 total face value of the short-term floaters in relation to the value of the inverse
floaters that are issued by the special purpose trust. 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 the interest rate on the short-term floaters reduce the residual interest paid on inverse floaters, and because
fluctuations in the value of the municipal bond deposited in the special purpose trust affect the value of the inverse floater only, and not the value of the short-term floater issued by the trust, inverse floaters&#146; value is generally more
volatile than that of fixed rate bonds. The market price of inverse floating rate securities is generally more volatile than the underlying bonds due to the leveraging effect of this ownership structure. These securities generally will underperform
the market of fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment (<I>i.e.,</I> when bond values are falling), but tend to out-perform the market of fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile,
inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity based upon the liquidity of the
underlying bonds deposited in a special purpose trust. </FONT></P>

trusts that have recourse to the Fund. In Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s discretion, the Fund may enter into a separate shortfall and forbearance agreement with the third party sponsor of a special purpose trust. The Fund may enter into such
recourse agreements (i)&nbsp;when the liquidity provider to the special purpose trust requires such an agreement because the level of leverage in the trust exceeds the level that the liquidity provider is willing to support absent such an agreement;
and/or (ii)&nbsp;to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the trust in the event that the municipal obligation held in the trust has declined in value. Such an agreement would require the Fund to reimburse the third party sponsor of
such inverse floater, upon termination of the trust issuing the inverse floater, the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal amount due to the holders of floating rate interests. Such agreements may
expose the Fund to a risk of loss that exceeds its investment in the inverse floating rate securities. Absent a shortfall and forbearance agreement, the Fund would not be required to make such a reimbursement. If the Fund chooses not to enter into

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s investments in inverse floating rate securities issued by special purpose trusts that have recourse to the Fund may be highly leveraged. The structure and degree to which the Fund&#146;s
inverse floating rate securities are highly leveraged will vary based upon a number of factors, including the size of the trust itself and the terms of the underlying municipal security held in a special purpose trust. An inverse floating rate
security generally is considered highly leveraged if the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests issued by the related special purpose trust is in excess of three times the principal amount of the inverse floating rate securities
owned by the trust (the ratio of the principal amount of such short-term floating rate interests to the principal amount of the inverse floating rate securities is referred to as the &#147;gearing&#148;). In the event of a significant decline in the

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 floating rate securities 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 bond deposited in the trust and the application of the proceeds to pay off the floating rate securities. 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 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

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 market prices of zero coupon bonds are affected to
a greater extent by changes in prevailing levels of interest rates and thereby tend to be more volatile in price than securities that pay interest periodically. In addition, 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 be advisable to do so, to make income distributions to its
shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Structured Notes </B></FONT></P>

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:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Some of these short-term securities may be variable or floating rate securities. The Fund, however, emphasizes investments in municipal securities with long- or intermediate-term maturities. The Fund buys municipal securities with different
maturities and intends to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15 to 30 years, although this may be shortened depending on market conditions. As a result, the Fund&#146;s portfolio may include long-term and intermediate-term municipal
securities. If the long-term municipal security market is unstable, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary investments. Temporary investments are high quality, generally uninsured, short-term municipal securities that
may either be tax-exempt or taxable. The Fund will buy taxable temporary investments only if suitable tax-exempt temporary investments are not available at reasonable prices and yields. The Fund will invest only in taxable temporary securities that
are U.S. Government securities or corporate debt securities rated within the highest grade by Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P or Fitch, and that mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable of floating rate of interest. The Fund&#146;s
policies on securities ratings only apply when the Fund buys a security, and the Fund is not required to sell securities that have been downgraded. See Appendix B to the SAI for a description of securities ratings. The Fund also may invest in
taxable temporary investments that are certificates of deposit from U.S. banks with assets of at least $1 billion, or repurchase agreements. The Fund intends to allocate taxable income on temporary investments, if any, proportionately between common
shares and Preferred Stock, including MTP Shares, based on the percentage of total dividends distributed to each class for that year. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Secondary Market and Delayed Listing Risk.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the Fund has limited prior trading history for exchange-listed preferred shares, it is difficult to predict the trading
patterns of MTP Shares, including the effective costs of trading MTP Shares. During a period of up to 30 days from the date of this prospectus, the MTP Shares will not be listed on any securities exchange. During this period, the underwriters do not
intend to make a market in MTP Shares. Consequently, an investment in MTP Shares during this period will likely be illiquid and holders of MTP Shares may not be able to sell such shares as it is unlikely that a secondary market for MTP Shares will
develop during this period. If a secondary market does develop during this period, holders of MTP Shares may be able to sell such shares only at substantial discounts from liquidation preference. Application has been made to list the MTP Shares on
the New York Stock Exchange so that trading on such exchange will begin within 30 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to notice of issuance. If the Fund is unable to list MTP Shares on a national securities exchange, holders of MTP Shares
may be unable to sell such shares at all, or if they are able to, only at substantial discounts from liquidation preference. Even after the MTP Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange as anticipated, there is a risk that the market for MTP
Shares may be thinly traded and relatively illiquid compared to the market for other types of securities, with the spread between the bid and asked prices considerably greater than the spreads of other securities with comparable terms, credit
ratings and tax-advantaged income features. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Rating Agencies designated by the Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees and that such ratings will be a requirement of issuance of such shares by the underwriters pursuant to an underwriting agreement. There can be no assurance that the MTP Shares will
receive any particular rating from any Rating Agency, or that any such ratings will be maintained at the level originally assigned through the term of MTP Shares. In the event that one or more of the Rating Agencies do not issue a rating on the MTP
Shares at all or at the minimum level required, the issuance and sale of MTP Shares in this offering may not be completed. Ratings do not eliminate or mitigate the risks of investing in MTP Shares. A rating issued by a Rating Agency (including
Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P and Fitch) is only the opinion of the entity issuing the rating at that time, and is not a guarantee as to quality, or an assurance of the future performance, of the rated security (in this case, MTP Shares). In addition, the
manner in which the Rating Agency obtains and processes information about a particular security may affect the Rating Agency&#146;s ability to timely react to changes in an issuer&#146;s circumstances (in this case, the Fund) that could influence a
particular rating. A Rating Agency could downgrade MTP Shares, which may make MTP Shares less liquid in the secondary market and reduce market prices. As described above under &#147;Description of MTP Shares&#151;Rating Agencies,&#148; S&amp;P is
currently considering adopting the S&amp;P Proposal, which may result in S&amp;P downgrading the MTP Shares after such proposal becomes effective. In the event that S&amp;P downgrades the MTP Shares, the Fixed Dividend Rate would only increase if
each of the other Rating Agencies also downgrades the MTP Shares. Nevertheless, a downgrade by S&amp;P could adversely affect the market pricing and liquidity of the MTP Shares. There can be no assurance that S&amp;P will or will not take any action

qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally accorded to regulated investment companies, among other things, the Fund must derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain prescribed sources. If for
any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to stockholders, and
such distributions would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits. The value of MTP Shares may be adversely affected by changes in tax rates and policies. Because dividends from
MTP Shares are generally not expected to be subject to regular federal, New York State or New York City income taxation, the attractiveness of such shares in relation to other investment alternatives is affected by changes in regular federal, New
York State or New York City income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt treatment of dividends on MTP Shares. A portion of the dividends from MTP Shares may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Fund intends to treat
MTP Shares as stock in the Fund for federal income tax purposes. Because there is no direct legal authority on the classification of instruments similar to MTP Shares, investors should be aware that the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;)
could assert a contrary position&#151;meaning that the IRS could classify MTP Shares as debt. If the IRS prevailed on such a position, the Fund would not be able to pass through tax-exempt income to holders of MTP Shares, and dividends paid on MTP
Shares (including dividends already paid) could become taxable. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; See also the form of opinion of counsel included as Appendix C to the SAI. </FONT></P>

otherwise may be subject to prior payments due to the holders of senior indebtedness. In addition, the 1940 Act may provide debt holders with voting rights that are superior to the voting rights of Preferred Stock holders, including holders of MTP

the Term Redemption Liquidity Account (as described under &#147;Description of MTP Shares&#148;). Further, there may be market imbalances of sellers and buyers of MTP Shares during periods of extreme illiquidity and volatility. Such market
conditions may lead to periods of thin trading in any secondary market for MTP Shares and may make valuation of MTP Shares uncertain. As a result, the spread between bid and asked prices is likely to increase significantly such that an MTP Shares
investor may have greater difficulty selling his or her MTP Shares. Less liquid and more volatile trading environments could result in sudden and significant valuation increases or declines in MTP Shares. </FONT></P>

Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline in price, or the issuer thereof will fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. 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% (measured at the time of investment) of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that are rated below investment grade or that are unrated but judged to be of
comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. 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, Nuveen Asset Management will consider what action, including the sale of the security, is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Municipal securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as
having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due, and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business
developments than investment grade municipal securities. 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

municipal securities market is one in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms&#146; capital became severely constrained. As a result, some firms
were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal securities. 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 Fund&#146;s investment performance may therefore be more dependent on Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s analytical abilities than if the Fund were to invest in stocks or taxable bonds. As noted above the secondary market for
municipal securities 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 </FONT></P>

interest and principal may be diminished during general economic downturns and as governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local governments. If the current national economic recession continues, the ability of
municipalities to collect revenue and service their obligations could be materially and adversely affected. The taxing power of any government entity may be limited by provisions of state constitutions or laws and an entity&#146;s credit will depend
on many factors, including the entity&#146;s tax base, the extent to which the entity relies on federal or state aid, and other factors which are beyond the entity&#146;s control. In addition, laws enacted in the future by Congress or state
legislatures or referenda could extend the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or impose other constraints on enforcement of such obligations, or on the ability of municipalities to levy taxes. Issuers of municipal securities might seek
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,
which may increase the Fund&#146;s operating expenses. Any income derived from the Fund&#146;s ownership or operation of such assets may not be tax-exempt. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

and like the nation, experienced a solid first quarter. While the State has forecasted continued weak growth for 2010, support from continued low interest rates, a gradually rising stock market, and continued global growth should boost consumer
spending going into 2011. Healthy corporate earnings, particularly for export oriented firms are expected to return equity markets to a modestly upward path, accompanied by slow but consistent employment and income growth. However, there are
significant risks to the State&#146;s continued economic recovery. The credit crisis and equity market volatility present particular uncertainty in State forecasts as New York is the nation&#146;s financial capital. Although credit markets have
improved significantly compared to 2009, households and small businesses continue to have difficulty borrowing and credit continues to contract. The banking system remains fragile and vulnerable to negative shocks. If the labor market recovery
should falter further, household spending growth could be even less than expected. Although the recent weakening of the U.S. dollar should support continued growth in U.S. exports, threats of currency wars add to global instability. Similarly, if
equity markets fail to grow as projected, both financial sector income and taxable capital gains realizations could be negatively affected. These effects would ripple through the State economy, depressing both employment and wage growth. </FONT></P>

anticipated a decline in State employment of 0.3% for 2010, with growth for 2011 revised down slightly to 0.8%. Private sector jobs are expected to decline 0.4% for 2010 and increase 1.2% in 2011. DOB has revised down its forecast for State wage
growth to 4.5% for 2010 and 2.9% for 2011. An even weaker labor market than anticipated could also result in lower wages, which in turn could result in weaker household consumption. In contrast, stronger national and world economic growth, or a
stronger upturn in stock prices, along with even stronger activity in mergers and acquisitions and other Wall Street activities, could result in higher wage and bonuses growth than estimated. Similar to many municipal issuers, the credit crisis
could also impact the State&#146;s ability to sell bonds at the level (or on the timetable) expected, which would result in a weakened overall cash position for the State in the current fiscal year. The finances of local governments in the State,
particularly the City and its suburbs, may be similarly affected. Pending litigation matters and matters involving Medicaid reimbursements could further impact the State&#146;s finances by causing the State and the City to lose in excess of one
billion dollars. </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">As of September March 4, 2010,

may enter into such recourse agreements (i) when the liquidity provider to the special purpose trust requires such an agreement because the level of leverage in the special purpose trust exceeds the level that the liquidity provider is willing to
support absent such an agreement; and/or (ii) to seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the special purpose trust in the event that the municipal obligation held in the trust has declined in value. Such an agreement would require the
Fund to reimburse the third party sponsor of the trust, upon termination of the trust issuing the inverse floater, the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal amount due to the holders of floating

highly leveraged. The structure and degree to which the Fund&#146;s inverse floating rate securities are highly leveraged will vary based upon a number of factors, including the size of the trust itself and the terms of the underlying municipal
security held in a special purpose trust. An inverse floating rate security generally is considered highly leveraged if the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests issued by the related special purpose trust is in excess of three
times the principal amount of the inverse floating rate securities owned by the trust (the ratio of the principal amount of such short-term floating rate interests to the principal amount of the inverse floating rate securities is referred to as the
&#147;gearing&#148;). In the event of a significant decline in the value of an underlying security, the Fund may suffer losses in excess of the amount of its investment (up to an amount equal to the value of the municipal securities underlying the
inverse floating rate securities) as a result of liquidating special purpose trusts or other collateral required to maintain the Fund&#146;s anticipated effective leverage ratio. </FONT></P>

credit agreements or escrow accounts. The credit quality of the companies that provide such credit enhancements will affect the value of those securities. Many significant providers of insurance for municipal securities have recently incurred
significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced the
insurers&#146; capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. As of December 7, 2010, there are no longer any bond insurers rated AAA by
Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P and/or Fitch and at least one rating agency has placed all bond insurers, except Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Company, on &#147;negative credit watch,&#148; &#147;credit watch evolving,&#148; &#147;credit outlook
developing,&#148; or &#147;rating withdrawn.&#148; These events may presage one or more rating reductions for any other insurer in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the
insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal
security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. In such a case, the value of insurance associated with a municipal security would decline and the insurance may not add any value. As concern has increased about the balance sheets
of insurers, prices on insured bonds&#151;especially those bonds issued by weaker underlying credits&#151;declined. Most insured bonds are currently being valued according to their fundamentals as if they were uninsured. Assuming that the insurer
remains creditworthy, the insurance feature of a municipal security guarantees the full payment of principal and interest when due through the life of an insured obligation. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the insured
obligation or the value of the Fund&#146;s common shares. </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

which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations. The Fund believes that the likelihood of such circumstances is remote. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

and as such its shareholders will not have the right to cause the Fund to redeem shares in the Fund held by such shareholders. Instead, the common shares 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, dividend stability, 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 Trustees 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 common shares, 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 submitting the conversion of
the Fund to an open-end investment company to a vote of shareholders. The Fund cannot assure you that its Board of Trustees will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers will actually reduce market discount.
The Fund will be unable to repurchase its common shares if it does not meet certain asset coverage requirements relating to outstanding Preferred Stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

States, cities and local authorities and certain possessions and territories of the United States (such as Puerto Rico or Guam) or in municipal securities whose income is otherwise exempt from regular federal income taxes. Thus, substantially all of
the Fund&#146;s dividends to the holders of common shares and MTP Shares will 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. Some or all of an exempt-interest dividend, however, may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax imposed on the shareholder. Different federal alternative tax rules apply to individuals and to corporations. The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides an exemption from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals for interest on private activity bonds and, for purposes of calculating a corporate taxpayer&#146;s adjusted current earnings, an
exemption for interest on all tax-exempt bonds, with both exemptions limited to bonds that are issued after December&nbsp;31, 2008 and before January&nbsp;1, 2011, including refunding bonds issued during that period to refund bonds originally issued
after December&nbsp;31, 2003 and before January&nbsp;1, 2009. </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

of MuniPreferred and FundPreferred shares. The FINRA staff has provided Nuveen Investments, LLC an opportunity to make a written submission to FINRA to aid its consideration of whether to revise and/or go forward with the staff&#146;s preliminary
determination to recommend disciplinary action. Nuveen Investments, LLC has made such a submission responding to the potential allegations and asserting its defenses. Nuveen Investments, LLC anticipates continuing to discuss these matters with the
FINRA staff. Upon the successful completion of this offering, these outstanding MuniPreferred shares may be redeemed or purchased by the Fund with the net proceeds of the offering as set forth in &#147;Use of Proceeds.&#148; Although such a
redemption or purchase would be done in accordance with the 1940 Act in a manner that did not favor these underwriters, affiliates or customers, the underwriters or their affiliates may nonetheless be deemed to obtain a material benefit from the
offering of the MTP Shares due to such redemption or purchase including, for certain of the underwriters and their affiliates, potentially substantial financial relief and/or relief related to legal and regulatory matters associated with currently
illiquid MuniPreferred shares. </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, Nuveen

considerable investments in New York municipal obligations. Accordingly, the Fund is susceptible to certain factors which could adversely affect issuers of New York municipal obligations. The ability of issuers to pay interest on, and repay
principal of, New York municipal obligations may be affected by: (1)&nbsp;amendments to the New York Constitution and other statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of New York government entities; (2)&nbsp;the general financial and
economic profile as well as the political climate of the State of New York, its public authorities, and political subdivisions; and (3)&nbsp;a change in New York laws and regulations or subsequent court decisions that may affect, directly or
indirectly, New York municipal obligations. The Fund&#146;s yield and share price are sensitive to these factors as one or more of such factors could undermine New York issuers&#146; efforts to borrow, inhibit secondary market liquidity, erode
credit ratings and affect New York issuers&#146; ability to pay interest on, and repay principal of, New York municipal obligations. Furthermore, it should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local New York issuers may be
unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State of New York (&#147;State&#148;) and the City of New York (&#147;City&#148;), and that there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in

important financial concerns relating to the Fund&#146;s investments in New York municipal obligations. This section is not intended to be an entirely comprehensive description of all risks involved in investing in New York municipal obligations.
The information in this section is intended to give a recent historical description and is not intended to indicate future or continuing trends in the financial or other positions of the State and the City. It should be noted that the information
recorded here primarily is based on the economic and budget forecasts found in certain 2010 publications issued by the State, the City and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (&#147;MTA&#148;) that were published prior to December 7, 2010. The
accuracy and completeness of the information in those reports have not been independently verified. Since the time of those publications, there may be significant changes in circumstances altering the economic and budget predictions found in those

note that many of the dollar amounts referenced in this section have been truncated to one digit after the decimal and rounded up or down to the appropriate dollar denomination. Because such dollar amounts generally reference large sums of money

large share of the nation&#146;s financial activities, information, education and health services employment, and a very small share of the nation&#146;s farming and mining activity. The State has the third largest population in the nation, and its
residents have a relatively high level of personal wealth. Its location, airport facilities and natural harbors have made it a vital link in international commerce, and tourism comprises a significant part of the economy. The State is likely to be

deleveraging. Equity market prices, as represented by the S&amp;P 500, declined 16% between late April 2010 and early July 2010 and virtually stagnated for the remainder of the summer. The equity
market decrease coincided with a deceleration in both household spending and labor market growth. Real U.S. GDP growth declined from 3.7% in the first quarter of 2010 to 1.7% in the second quarter, and is projected to remain there for the entire
second half of 2010. The national economy, as measured by real U.S. GDP, is now estimated to grow 2.6% in 2010, followed by downwardly revised growth of 2.6% for 2011. Despite fiscal and monetary policy actions of historic proportion, the
nation&#146;s housing market remains weak. While home prices are stabilizing and the rate at which homes are entering foreclosure seems to have peaked, the level of foreclosure activity continues to depress new home construction. Moreover, as
distance from the expiration of the Federal homebuyers&#146; credit increases, the residential housing market&#146;s intrinsic weakness has become increasingly apparent. Therefore, DOB has lowered its projection for private residential fixed
investment to a decline of 2.4% for 2010, followed by growth of 4.1% for 2011. The housing market&#146;s persistent weakness represents yet another temporary setback for the nation&#146;s labor market, depressing not only the demand for construction
workers and building supplies, but also the demand for home appliances and other consumer durables. DOB&#146;s examination of data as of November 9, 2010 provides little indication that a significant increase in hiring is imminent. Consequently, DOB
has revised down its near-term labor market outlook, with monthly job gains not projected to return to 200,000 until the middle of 2011, coinciding with a strengthening of domestic demand. An employment decline of 0.6% on an annual average basis is
now anticipated for 2010, followed by an increase of 1.1% for 2011. The unemployment rate for 2011 is estimated at 9.4%, and 9.7% for 2010. The weaker outlook for employment, together with downward revisions to wages and some of the other components
of personal income, have resulted in a weaker outlook for income growth. U.S. personal income growth of 3.1% is projected for 2010, followed by growth of 3.3% for 2011. Although historically low mortgage rates have failed to increase home sales,
they do appear to have generated a strong wave of refinancings as homeowners try to reduce their debt loads. That relief is also projected to support stronger consumption growth going forward, with real quarterly consumption growth expected to
exceed 3% for most of 2011. </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 State economy
seems to have emerged from recession during the first quarter of 2010, and like the nation, experienced a solid first quarter. Strong finance and insurance sector profits for 2009 resulted in a pick-up in securities industry bonuses in the first
quarter of 2010, with some spillover into the second quarter as well. However, the State was not immune from the loss of momentum that plagued the nation during the spring and summer of 2010. The State Labor Department estimates that, as expected,
private sector employment fell during three of the five months from May through September 2010. DOB has anticipated a decline in State employment of 0.3% for 2010, with growth for 2011 revised down slightly to 0.8%. Private sector jobs are expected
to decline 0.4% for 2010 and increase 1.2% in 2011. DOB has revised down its forecast for State wage growth to 4.5% for 2010 and 2.9% for 2011. In addition, under current law, the Federal income tax cuts implemented in 2001 and 2003 are scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2010, at which point ordinary income tax rates and the rate on capital gains realizations are scheduled to increase, and dividend income is to return to being taxed as ordinary income. DOB&#146;s forecast is based on the
assumption that high-income taxpayers will behave strategically and shift bonus, dividend, and capital gains realizations income into 2010 to take advantage of the lower rates. That behavior is expected to result in a substantial increase in taxable
income for the 2010 tax year. Consequently, the possibility that Congress may extend the lower rates represents a risk to the forecast. For example, if marginal tax rates on ordinary income remain constant, and no shifting of bonus income occurs,
then State wages are projected to rise only 3.6% in 2010 and 4.8% in 2011. </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

the State&#146;s continued economic recovery. As the nation&#146;s financial capital, U.S. credit and equity market volatility pose a particularly large degree of uncertainty for the State. Although credit markets have improved significantly

shocks. If the labor market recovery should falter further, household spending growth could be even less than expected. A portion of Federal stimulus spending remains in the pipeline and has
supported some job creation in the nonresidential construction sector. But if Federal support for the economy should cease before the private sector has gathered sufficient strength, already struggling state and local governments would have to
tighten their belts even more. In addition, the impact of the Federal financial reform package on the profitability of the State&#146;s finance industry is still unknown and thus represents a major risk to DOB&#146;s forecast for bonuses and income
going forward. Lower bonuses than expected reduce a major segment of income subject to tax and reduce the level of economic activity generated by the spending of those wages. If equity markets fail to grow as projected, both financial sector income
and taxable capital gains realizations could be negatively affected. These effects would ripple through the State economy, depressing both employment and wage growth. An even weaker labor market than anticipated could also result in lower wages,
which in turn could result in weaker household consumption. Similar to many municipal issuers, the credit crisis could also impact the State&#146;s ability to sell bonds at the level (or on the timetable) expected, which would result in a weakened

is required to be balanced on a cash basis and that is the primary focus of the DOB in preparing the financial plan for the State. State finance law also requires the State financial plan to be reported using generally accepted accounting principles
(&#147;GAAP&#148;), in accordance with standards and regulations set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (&#147;GASB&#148;). As such, the State reports its financial results on both the cash accounting basis, showing receipts and

Plan&#148;). The Financial Plan was since updated by the Update to Annual Information Statement, dated November 9, 2010. The State financial results, as described below, are calculated on a cash accounting basis. The GAAP projections for the

2010-11. The gap included a budget shortfall of $1.65 billion from 2009-10 that was carried forward into 2010-11. The Financial Plan closed the projected budget gap through a gap closing plan, including the recurring value of the deficit reduction
plan (&#147;DRP&#148;) approved in December 2009. However, as of November 9, 2010, DOB predicted additional budget gaps of $9.0 billion in 2011-12, $14.6 billion in 2012-13 and $17.2 billion in 2013-14. The projected budget gaps for 2012-13 and
2013-14 will be materially affected by the level of recurring actions ultimately approved to balance the 2011-12 fiscal year. The combined four-year gap projected for fiscal years 2010-11 through 2013-14 totals approximately $40.8 billion before
budget reduction recommendations. The current budget gap is predominantly due to the reduction in projected receipts from personal income tax (&#147;PIT&#148;) and business taxes. Future year budget gaps are a result of a combination of lower tax
receipts and increases in projected disbursements. DOB estimates that the DRP approved in December 2009 will generate recurring savings in the range of $700 million to $875 million in fiscal years 2010-11 through 2013-14. </FONT></P>

General Fund operating results through September 2010 were marginally unfavorable compared to Financial Plan projections, and DOB now estimates a potential General Fund budget gap of $315 million in 2010-11. The Financial Plan provided permanent
authorization for the General Fund to borrow resources temporarily from other funds in the State&#146;s short-term investment pool (&#147;STIP&#148;) for a period not to exceed four months or to the end of the fiscal year, whichever is shorter.
Through the first six months of 2010-11, the General Fund used this authorization to meet payment obligations at times in May, June, July, and September 2010, and ended the month of June 2010 with a negative $87 million balance. During certain
months of the fiscal year, there may be substantial changes in the level of the General Fund&#146;s daily balance due to the timing of when the State&#146;s General Fund realizes receipts, and when the State&#146;s payment obligations are required
to be met. For example, while the State ended the month of June 2010 with a temporary STIP loan balance of $87 million, the State&#146;s General Fund had temporarily borrowed $1.1 billion from STIP at its lowest point during that month. Similarly,
while the State ended the month of September 2010 with a positive General Fund balance of $2.4 billion, the State&#146;s General Fund temporarily borrowed $1.5 billion from STIP at its lowest point during September. DOB expects that the General Fund
will continue to rely on this temporary borrowing authority at times during the remainder of 2010-11, with low balances expected during November and December 2010. However, the current cashflow forecast estimates that the General Fund will end each
month with a positive balance. </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 budget

judgment predicated on the Sherrill and Cayuga holdings. On August&nbsp;11, 2006, the State moved for summary judgment dismissing the action, based on the defenses of laches, acquiescence, and impossibility. By order dated May&nbsp;21, 2007, the
District Court dismissed plaintiffs&#146; claims to the extent that they asserted a possessory interest, but permitted plaintiffs to pursue a claim seeking the difference between the amount paid and the fair market value of the lands at the time of
the transaction. The District Court certified the May&nbsp;21, 2007 order for interlocutory appeal and, on July&nbsp;13, 2007, the Second Circuit granted motions by both sides seeking leave to pursue interlocutory appeals of that order. On August 9,
2010, the Circuit Court rendered a decision which affirmed the summary judgment order insofar as it dismissed the Oneida land claim and reversed it insofar as it would have allowed plaintiffs to pursue a fair compensation claim against the State.

Oneida Indian Nation v. City of Sherrill, applying the same equitable defenses that the Supreme Court relied on in City of Sherrill. The Supreme Court denied certiorari in Cayuga on May 15, 2006. This case was closed but recently became active when
the Cayuga plaintiffs filed a FRCP 60(b)(6) motion to have the judgment vacated. Along with this motion a letter was sent to Judge McCurn&#146;s chamber seeking a stay of the 60 (b)(6) motion until after the Second Circuit decides the appeal in the

the Appellate Division, Third Department, on April 26, 2010. On June 24, 2010, the Appellate Division reversed the dismissal of the case and remanded the matter back to the lower court. The Appellate Division order directed the defendants to answer
the complaint thirty days after the date of the decision. On September 13, 2010, the Appellate Division granted the defendants&#146; motion for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.</I> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

manufacturers. The initial complaint set forth claims for: (1) violations of the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution; (2) the establishment of an &#147;output cartel&#148; in conflict with the Sherman Act; and (3) selective non-enforcement of
the laws on Native American reservations in contradiction of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Subsequently, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted defendants&#146; motion to dismiss the complaint
for failure to state a cause of action. Plaintiffs appealed from this dismissal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in an opinion decided January 6, 2004, (1) affirmed the dismissal of the Commerce Clause claim; (2) reversed the
dismissal of the Sherman Act claim; and (3) remanded the selective enforcement claim to the District Court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint that also challenges the MSA itself (as well as other related State
statutes) mainly on grounds of preemption, and plaintiffs also sought a preliminary injunction. On September 14, 2004, the District Court denied the motion for a preliminary injunction, except as to that portion that related to the tobacco
manufacturers&#146; ability to obtain the release of certain funds from escrow. The Second Circuit affirmed the District Court&#146;s holding in May 2005. The motions and cross-motions of the parties for summary judgment were fully submitted to the
District Court in December 2006. The District Court requested, by order dated July 7, 2008, updated statistical information and other information needed to resolve certain material questions. Pursuant to a December 15, 2008 order summarizing a

retirees, and beneficiaries increased from $176.6&nbsp;billion on April 1, 2009 to 186.8 billion (including $75.6&nbsp;billion for current retirees and beneficiaries) on April, 2010 and the net assets available for benefits as of March&nbsp;31, 2010

assets, plus future actuarially determined contributions. The investment losses experienced in fiscal year 2009 have negatively impacted the value of assets held for the Systems. The current actuarial smoothing method spreads the impact over a
5-year period, and thus contribution rates increased for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 and further increases are expected for fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The amount of such future increases would depend, in part, on the value of the pension fund as
of each April 1 as well as on the present value of the anticipated benefits to be paid by the pension fund as of each April 1. Final contribution rates for fiscal year 2012 were released in early September 2010. Contributions are set to increase

constructing and operating revenue-producing public benefit facilities. Authorities may issue bonds and notes within the amounts and restrictions set forth in their legislative authorization and are not subject to the constitutional restrictions on
the incurrence of debt that apply to the State itself. Not surprisingly, if any of the Authorities were to default on their respective obligations, particularly with respect to debt that is State-supported or State-related, the State&#146;s access
to the public credit markets could be impaired, and consequently, the market price of its outstanding debt could be negatively affected. As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, there were 19 public authorities with outstanding debt of $100 million or more,
and the aggregate outstanding debt, including refunding bonds, of these public authorities was approximately $152 billion, only a portion of which constitutes State-supported or State-related debt. </FONT></P>

appropriations, in some cases of a recurring nature, to certain of the Authorities for operating and other expenses and, in fulfillment of its commitments on moral obligation indebtedness or otherwise, for debt service. This operating assistance is
expected to continue to be required in future years. Moreover, certain statutory arrangements provide for State local assistance payments otherwise payable to localities to be made under certain circumstances to certain Authorities. The State has no
obligation to provide additional assistance to localities whose local assistance payments have been paid to Authorities under these arrangements, but understandably, the affected localities could seek additional State funds in the event that local

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income
taxes and to enhance portfolio value relative to the municipal bond market by investing in tax-exempt municipal bonds that the Fund&#146;s investment adviser believes are underrated or undervalued or that represent municipal market sectors that are
undervalued. The Fund&#146;s investment objectives and its policy to invest 80% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities and other related investments exempt from regular federal, New York State, and New York City income taxes are fundamental
policies of the Fund. The Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in municipal securities subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of federal tax law, and the Fund expects that a
substantial portion of the income it produces will be includable in alternative minimum taxable income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (&#147;NRSRO&#148;) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that at the time of investment are
rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. No more than 10% of the Fund&#146;s Managed Assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but
judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management. Managed Assets are net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) and any Preferred Stock
outstanding. Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominately speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. The foregoing credit
quality policies apply only at the time a security is purchased, and the Fund is not required to dispose of a security in the event that a rating agency downgrades its assessment of the credit characteristics of a particular issue. In determining
whether to retain or sell such a security, Nuveen Asset Management may consider such factors as its assessment of the credit quality of the issuer of such security, the price at which such security could be sold and the rating, if any, assigned to
such security by other rating agencies. The Fund may also invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in municipal bonds of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. A portion of the dividends
from MTP Shares may be 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">Underrated municipal securities are those
municipal securities whose ratings do not, in Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s opinion, reflect their true value. They may be underrated because of the time that has elapsed since their last ratings, or because rating agencies have not fully taken
into account positive factors, or for other reasons. Undervalued municipal securities are those securities that, in Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s opinion, are worth more than their market value. They may be undervalued because there is a temporary
excess of supply in that particular sector (such as hospital bonds, or bonds of a particular municipal issuer). Nuveen Asset Management may buy such a security even if the value of that security is consistent with the value of other securities in
that sector. Municipal securities also may be undervalued because there has been a general decline in the market price of municipal securities for reasons that do not apply to the particular municipal securities that Nuveen Asset Management
considers undervalued. Nuveen Asset Management believes that the prices of these municipal securities should ultimately reflect their true value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund also may invest up to 15% of its net assets in inverse floating rate securities. The economic effect of leverage through the Fund&#146;s purchase of inverse floating rate securities creates an
opportunity for increased net income and returns, but also creates the possibly that the Fund&#146;s long-term returns will be diminished if the cost of leverage exceeds the return on the inverse floating rate securities purchased by the Fund.

obligation of a superior or unrelated governmental or other entity (other than a bond insurer), it shall also be included in the computation of securities owned that are issued by such governmental or other entity. Where a security is guaranteed by
a governmental entity or some other facility, such as a bank guarantee or letter of credit, such a guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate security and would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank. When
a municipal security is insured by bond insurance, it shall not be considered a security that is issued or guaranteed by the insurer; instead, the issuer of such municipal security will be determined in accordance with the principles set forth

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to and supplementing the Prospectus, the Fund&#146;s portfolio will be composed principally of the investments described
below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The term &#147;municipal securities&#148; includes municipal securities with relatively short-term maturities. Some of
these short-term securities may be variable or floating rate securities. The Fund, however, emphasizes investments in municipal securities with long- or intermediate-term maturities. The Fund buys municipal securities with different maturities and
intends to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15 to 30 years, although this may be shortened depending on market conditions. As a result, the Fund&#146;s portfolio may include long-term and intermediate-term municipal securities. If the
long-term municipal bond market is unstable, the Fund may temporarily invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary investments. Temporary investments are high quality, generally uninsured, short-term municipal securities that may either be
tax-exempt or taxable. The Fund will buy taxable temporary investments only if suitable tax-exempt temporary investments are not available at reasonable prices and yields. The Fund will invest only in taxable temporary securities that are U.S.
Government securities or corporate debt securities rated within the highest grade by Moody&#146;s or S&amp;P, and that mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable or floating rate of interest. The Fund&#146;s policies on
securities ratings only apply when the Fund buys a security, and the Fund is not required to sell securities that have been downgraded. See Appendix&nbsp;B to this Statement of Additional Information for a description of securities ratings. The Fund
also may invest in taxable temporary investments that are certificates of deposit from U.S. banks with assets of at least $1 billion, or repurchase agreements. The Fund intends to allocate taxable income on temporary investments, if any,
proportionately between common shares and Preferred Stock, based on the percentage of total dividends distributed to each class for that year. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Included within the general category of municipal securities described in the Prospectus are participations in lease obligations or
installment purchase contract obligations (hereinafter collectively called &#147;Municipal Lease Obligations&#148;) of municipal authorities or entities. Although Municipal Lease Obligations do not constitute general obligations 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;non-appropriation&#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. The Fund seeks to minimize these risks by only investing in those &#147;non-appropriation&#148; Municipal Lease Obligations where (a) the nature
of the leased equipment or property is such that its ownership or use is essential to a governmental function of the municipality, (b) the lease payments will commence amortization of principal at an early date that results in an average life of
seven years or less for the Municipal Lease Obligation, (c) appropriate covenants will be obtained from the municipal obligor prohibiting the substitution or purchase of similar equipment if lease payments are not appropriated, (d) the lease obligor
has maintained good market acceptability in the past, (e) the investment is of a size that will be attractive to institutional investors and (f) the underlying leased equipment has elements of portability or use, or both, that enhance its
marketability in the event foreclosure on the underlying equipment were ever required. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain municipal securities may carry
variable or floating rates of interest whereby the rate of interest is not fixed but varies with changes in specified market rates or indexes, such as a bank prime rate or a tax-exempt money market index. As used in the Prospectus and in this
Statement of Additional Information, the term municipal securities also includes obligations, such as tax-exempt notes, municipal commercial paper and Municipal Lease Obligations, having relatively short-term maturities, although the Fund emphasizes
investments in municipal securities with long-term maturities. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures
contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. Nuveen Asset Management uses derivatives to seek to enhance return, to hedge some
of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. The Fund may attempt to hedge all or a portion of its investment portfolio against market risk by engaging in transactions in
financial futures contracts, options on financial futures or options that either are based on an index of long-term municipal securities (i.e., those with remaining maturities averaging 20-30 years) or relate to debt securities whose prices Nuveen
Asset Management anticipates to correlate with the prices of the municipal securities the Fund owns. To accomplish such hedging, the Fund may take an investment position in a futures contract or in an option which is expected to move in the opposite
direction from the position being hedged. Hedging may be utilized to reduce the risk that the value of securities the Fund owns may decline on account of an increase in interest rates and to hedge against increases in the cost of the securities the
Fund intends to purchase as a result of a decline in interest rates. The use of futures and options for hedging purposes can be expected to result in taxable income or gain. The Fund currently intends to allocate any taxable income or gain
proportionately between its Common Shares and its Preferred Stock. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; </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

securities or indexes is a means of hedging the Fund&#146;s portfolio against an increase in the price of securities such Fund intends to purchase. Writing a call option on a futures contract or on debt securities or indexes may serve as a hedge
against a modest decline in prices of municipal securities held in the Fund&#146;s portfolio, and writing a put option on a futures contract or on debt securities or indexes may serve as a partial hedge against an increase in the value of municipal
securities the Fund intends to acquire. The writing of these options provides a hedge to the extent of the premium received in the writing transaction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

unless the purchase of a put option covers the long futures position. The Fund will not sell futures unless the Fund owns the instruments underlying the futures or owns options on such instruments or owns a portfolio whose market price may be
expected to move in tandem with the market price of the instruments or index underlying the futures. If the Fund engages in transactions involving the purchase or writing of put and call options on debt securities or indexes, the Fund will not
purchase these options if more than 5% of its assets would be invested in the premiums for these options and it will only write &#147;covered&#148; or &#147;secured&#148; options, where the Fund holds the securities or cash required to be delivered
upon exercise, with such cash being maintained in a segregated account. These requirements and limitations may limit the Fund&#146;s ability to engage in hedging transactions. So long as any Rating Agency is rating the Fund&#146;s Preferred Stock,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Description of Financial Futures and Options.</I> A futures contract is a contract between a seller and a buyer for the sale and
purchase of specified property at a specified future date for a specified price. An option is a contract that gives the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of a call option) specified property from, or to sell
(in the case of a put option) specified property to, the writer of the option for a specified price during a specified period prior to the option&#146;s expiration. Financial futures contracts and options cover specified debt securities (such as
U.S. Treasury securities) or indexes designed to correlate with price movements in certain categories of debt securities. At least one exchange trades futures contracts on an index designed to correlate with the long-term municipal bond market.
Financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts are traded on exchanges regulated by the CFTC. Options on certain financial instruments and financial indexes are traded on securities markets regulated by the SEC. Although
futures contracts and options on specified financial instruments call for settlement by delivery of the financial instruments covered by the contracts, in most cases positions in these contracts are closed out in cash by entering into offsetting
liquidating or closing transactions. Index futures and options are designed for cash settlement only. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Risks of Futures and
Options Transactions.</I> There are certain risks associated with the use of financial futures and options to hedge investment portfolios. There may be an imperfect correlation between price movements of the futures and options and price movements
of the portfolio securities being hedged. Losses may be incurred in hedging transactions, which could reduce the portfolio gains that might have been realized if the hedging transactions had not been entered into. The ability to close out positions
in futures and options depends upon the existence of a liquid secondary market, which may not exist for all futures and options at all times. If the Fund engages in futures transactions or in the writing of options on futures, it will be required to
maintain initial margin and maintenance margin and may be required to make daily variation margin payments in accordance with applicable rules of the exchanges and the CFTC. If the Fund purchases a financial futures contract or a call option or
writes a put option in order to hedge the anticipated purchase of municipal securities, and if the Fund fails to complete the anticipated purchase transaction, the Fund may have a loss or a gain on the futures or options transaction that will not be
offset by price movements in the municipal securities that were the subject of the anticipatory hedge. The cost of put options on debt securities or indexes effectively increases the cost of the securities subject to them, thereby reducing the yield
otherwise available from these securities. If the Fund decides to use futures contracts or options on futures contracts for hedging purposes, the Fund will be required to establish an account for such purposes with one or more CFTC-registered
futures commission merchants. A futures commission merchant could establish initial and maintenance margin requirements for the Fund that are greater than those which would otherwise apply to the Fund under applicable rules of the exchanges and the
CFTC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Repurchase Agreements.</I> The Fund may buy repurchase agreements as temporary investments. A repurchase agreement
is a contract in which the seller of securities (U.S. government securities or municipal bonds) agrees to repurchase the same securities from the buyer at a specified price on a future date. The repurchase price determines the yield during the
Fund&#146;s holding period. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans whose collateral is the underlying security that is the subject of the repurchase agreement. Income from repurchase agreements is taxable and required to be allocated
between common shares and Preferred Stock. See &#147;Tax Matters.&#148; The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with registered securities dealers or domestic banks that, in Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s opinion, present minimal credit
risks. The risk to the Fund is limited to the ability of the other party to pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the delivery date; however, although the value of the underlying collateral at the time of the transaction always equals or exceeds
the repurchase price, if the value of the collateral declines there is a risk of loss of principal and interest. If the other party defaults, the collateral may be sold, but the Fund may lose money if the value of the collateral declines and may
have to pay the costs of the sale or experience delays in selling the collateral. If the seller files for bankruptcy, the Fund may not be able to sell the collateral quickly or at all. Nuveen Asset Management will monitor the value of the

interpretive provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff. In accordance with these laws, rules and positions, the Fund must &#147;set aside&#148; (often referred to as &#147;asset segregation&#148;) liquid assets, or engage in
other Securities and Exchange Commission or staff-approved measures, to &#147;cover&#148; open positions with respect to certain kinds of derivatives instruments. In the case of forward currency contracts that are not contractually required to cash
settle, for example, the Fund must set aside liquid assets equal to such contracts&#146; full notional value while the positions are open. With respect to forward currency contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, however, the Fund
is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund&#146;s daily marked-to-market net obligations (<I>i.e.</I>, the Fund&#146;s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts&#146; full notional
value. The Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions from time to time articulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff regarding asset segregation.

applicable positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff. As a result of their segregation, such assets may not be used for other operational purposes. Nuveen Asset Management will monitor the Fund&#146;s use of derivatives and

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. Nuveen Asset Management 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. Nuveen Asset
Management 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(4)
Commercial paper, which consists of short-term unsecured promissory notes, including variable rate master demand notes issued by corporations to finance their current operations. Master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between the Fund
and a corporation. There is no secondary market for such notes. However, they are redeemable by the Fund at any time. Nuveen Asset Management will consider the financial condition of the corporation (e.g., earning power, cash flow, and other

restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may only be resold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act that are deemed to be illiquid, and certain repurchase
agreements. The Board of Trustees or its delegate has the ultimate authority to determine which securities are liquid or illiquid. The Board of Trustees has delegated to Nuveen Asset Management 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 Trustees has directed Nuveen Asset Management 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

</B></FONT></P> <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: floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as short-term floaters or tender
option bonds) and inverse floating rate securities (sometimes referred to as inverse floaters or residual interest securities). Both classes of beneficial interests are represented by certificates. 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, the institution granting the tender option 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 bond 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 inverse floaters that are issued by the
special purpose trust. The Fund expects to make limited investments in inverse floaters, with leverage ratios that may vary between one and three times. However, the Fund is permitted to invest in highly leveraged inverse floating rate securities.
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:12px;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. 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:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Inverse floaters have varying degrees of liquidity based upon, among other things, the liquidity of the underlying securities deposited

seek to prevent the liquidity provider from collapsing the trust in the event that the municipal obligation held in the trust has declined in value. Such an agreement would require the Fund to reimburse the third party sponsor of such inverse
floater, upon termination of the trust issuing the inverse floater, the difference between the liquidation value of the bonds held in the trust and the principal amount due to the holders of floating rate interests. Such agreements may expose the
Fund to a risk of loss that exceeds its investment in the inverse floating rate securities. Absent a shortfall and forbearance agreement, the Fund would not be required to make such a reimbursement. If the Fund chooses not to enter into such an
agreement, the special purpose trust could be liquidated and the Fund could incur a loss. </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 segregate or earmark

trusts. Floating rate securities 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 floating rate security 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 floating rate
security. 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 floating rate security. </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 recent market environments, auction failures have been widespread, which has adversely affected 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

Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund is required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission to maintain in a separate account liquid assets, consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities having a market value at all times of at least equal to the amount of any delayed payment commitment. Income generated by any such
assets which provide taxable income for federal income tax purposes is includable in the taxable income of the Fund and, to the extent distributed, will be taxable distributions to shareholders. The Fund may enter into contracts to purchase
securities on a forward basis (<I>i.e.</I>, where settlement will occur more than 60&nbsp;days from the date of the transaction) only to the extent that the Fund specifically collateralizes such 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 an element of risk because no interest accrues on
the bonds prior to settlement and at the time of delivery the market value may be less than their cost. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>OTHER INVESTMENTS </B></FONT></P>
<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 the Fund&#146;s shareholders 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>

interest rates. The Fund also may sell one municipal bond and buy another of comparable quality at about the same time to take advantage of what Nuveen Asset Management believes to be a temporary price disparity between the two bonds that may result
from imbalanced supply and demand. The Fund also may engage in a limited amount of short-term trading, consistent with its investment objectives. The Fund may sell securities in anticipation of a market decline (a rise in interest rates) or buy
securities in anticipation of a market rise (a decline in interest rates) and later sell them, but the Fund will not engage in trading solely to recognize a gain. The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objectives by prudently selecting
municipal securities with a view to holding them for investment. Although the Fund cannot accurately predict its annual portfolio turnover rate, the Fund expects, though it cannot guarantee, that its annual portfolio turnover rate generally will not
exceed 100% under normal circumstances. For the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2010, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate was 10%. There are no limits on the rate of portfolio turnover, and investments may be sold without regard to length
of time held when investment considerations warrant such action. A higher portfolio turnover rate results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund. 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 as ordinary income. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees (as the case may be, each is referred to hereafter as the &#147;Board&#148; and the
directors or trustees of the Nuveen Funds, as applicable, are each referred to herein as &#147;Trustees&#148;) oversees the operations and management of the Nuveen Funds, including the duties performed for the Funds by the investment 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 Trustees 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 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. </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 Trustee. 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 Trustees have elected Robert P. Bremner
as the independent Chairman of the Board. Specific responsibilities of the Chairman include: (i) presiding at all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders; (ii) seeing that all orders and resolutions of the Trustees are carried into effect; and
(iii) maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings of the Trustees 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 Trustees to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the 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 Trustees among the different committees allows the Trustees to gain additional and different perspectives of a
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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board.
Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and John P. Amboian serve as the current members of the Executive Committee of the Board. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Executive Committee met one time. </FONT></P>

legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Funds&#146; financial statements; the independent auditors&#146; qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the 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 Funds&#146; portfolios. Subject to the Board&#146;s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the 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 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 consider any financial risk exposures for the Funds in conjunction with performing its functions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external
auditors for the Funds and the internal audit group at Nuveen Investments. The Audit Committee also may review in a general manner the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management as
well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Funds&#146; financial statements. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Members of the Audit Committee shall be independent (as set
forth in the charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack
B.&nbsp;Evans, David J. Kundert, Chair, William J. Schneider and Terence J. Toth, each of whom is an independent Trustee of the Funds. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Audit Committee met four times. </FONT></P>

oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the 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 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 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

things, exposures to particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities; risks related to product structure 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 Funds in adopting a particular approach or resolution compared to the
anticipated benefits to the 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
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 Funds&#146; and other service

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 Trustees. 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 September 30, 2010 the Compliance 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">The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking, identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nominating and
Governance Committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board 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 Funds&#146; business.

education of Trustees; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are be able to communicate in writing with members of the Board; and periodically reviews and
makes recommendations about any appropriate changes to Trustee 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 Trustees
and reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Trustees. 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 Trustee 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 Trustees 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 Trustees of the 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 fiscal

December 31, 2009. The Fund does not have a retirement or pension plan. The officers and trustees affiliated with Nuveen Investments serve without any compensation from the Fund. Certain of the
Nuveen Funds have a deferred compensation plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) that permits any trustee who is not an &#147;interested person&#148; of certain funds to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as a trustee. The
deferred compensation of a participating trustee is credited to a book reserve account of a fund when the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the trustee. The value of the trustee&#146;s deferral account at any time is equal to the value
that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen Funds. At the time for commencing distributions from a trustee&#146;s deferral account, the trustee may
elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of five years. The Fund will not be liable for any other fund&#146;s obligations to make distributions under the Plan. </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 Nuveen Asset Management). 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 manager&#146;s performance against a specified investment
benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds in each 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 May 31, 2010, the S&amp;P/Investortools Municipal Bond Index was comprised
of 55,306 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,205 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 Nuveen Asset Management in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed above. Nuveen Asset Management 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 or her peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a
number of factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he or she serves as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks
established for those accounts, his or her effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and their representatives, and his or her contribution to Nuveen Asset Management&#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 Investments, by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC in November 2007, certain employees,
including portfolio managers, received profit interests in Nuveen Investments. These profit interests entitle the holders to participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen Investments beyond the issue date and vest over five to seven years,
or earlier in the case of a liquidity event. In addition, in July 2009, Nuveen Investments created and funded a trust, as part of a newly-established incentive program, which purchased shares of certain Nuveen Mutual Funds and awarded such shares,
subject to vesting, to certain employees, including portfolio managers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Material Conflicts of Interest</I>. Each portfolio

securities. On rare occasions the Fund may acquire, directly or through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of certain issuers whose securities the Fund already owns when such securities 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 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 issuer, Nuveen Asset Management 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. Nuveen Asset Management does not consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the

for the Fund, the negotiation of the prices to be paid and the allocation of transactions among various dealer firms. Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment by the Fund of brokerage commissions. There generally is no stated commission
in the case of securities traded in the OTC market but the price paid by the Fund usually includes an undisclosed dealer commission or mark-up. Transactions in the OTC market can also be placed with broker-dealers who act as agents and charge
brokerage commissions for effecting OTC transactions. The Fund may place its OTC transactions either directly with principal market makers, or with broker-dealers if that is consistent with Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s obligation to obtain best
qualitative execution. In certain instances, the Fund may make purchases of underwritten issues at prices that include underwriting fees. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Management&#146;s practice to select dealers that, in addition, furnish research information (primarily credit analyses of issuers and general economic reports) and statistical and other services to Nuveen Asset Management. It is not possible to
place a dollar value on information and statistical and other services received from dealers. Since it is only supplementary to Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s own research efforts, the receipt of research information is not expected to reduce
significantly Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s expenses. While Nuveen Asset Management will be primarily responsible for the placement of the business of the Fund, Nuveen Asset Management&#146;s policies and practices in this regard must be consistent

shares. Instead, the Fund&#146;s shares 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, 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 Trustees 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 the Fund&#146;s shares, 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 submitting the conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company for a vote by shareholders. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Board of Trustees will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers, if undertaken, will reduce market discount. </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 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 on 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 Trustees 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>

delisting of the common shares and MTP Shares from the NYSE Amex, the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, as applicable, or (b)&nbsp;impair the Fund&#146;s status as a regulated investment company under the Code (which would make the Fund a

the net asset value of those shares that remain outstanding. However, there can be no assurance that share repurchases or tenders at or below net asset value will result in the Fund&#146;s shares trading at a price equal to their net asset value.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Fund&#146;s shares may be the subject of repurchase or tender offers at net asset value from time to time, or that the Fund may be converted to an open-end investment company, may reduce any spread between market
price and net asset value that might otherwise exist. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, a purchase by the Fund of its shares will decrease the

open-end company would require the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Fund&#146;s common and Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Fund&#146;s Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single class unless the conversion has been approved by the requisite vote of the trustees, in which case a majority vote of the requisite holders would be required. See the Fund&#146;s Prospectus under &#147;Certain Provisions in the
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws&#148; for a discussion of voting requirements applicable to conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company. If the Fund converted to an open-end investment company, the Fund&#146;s common shares would no
longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere and the Fund&#146;s Preferred Stock, including MTP Shares, would no longer be outstanding. In contrast to a closed-end investment company, shareholders of an open-end investment company
may require the company to redeem their shares on any business day (except in certain circumstances as authorized by or under the 1940 Act or rules thereunder) 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 investment companies typically engage in a continuous offering of their shares. Open-end investment
companies are thus subject to periodic asset in-flows and out-flows that can complicate portfolio management. The Board of Trustees of the Fund may at any time propose conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company depending upon their
judgment as to the advisability of such action in light of circumstances then prevailing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Before deciding whether to take any
action if the Fund&#146;s shares trade below net asset value, the Board of Trustees would consider all relevant factors, including the extent and duration of the discount, the liquidity of the Fund&#146;s portfolio, the impact of any action that
might be taken on the Fund or its shareholders, and market considerations. Based on these considerations, even if the Fund&#146;s shares should trade at a discount, the Board of Trustees may determine that, in the interest of the Fund and its

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following is intended to be a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences of investing in MTP Shares. The discussion generally applies only to holders of MTP Shares who are U.S. holders. You will be a U.S. holder if you are an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a U.S. domestic
corporation, or any other person that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of an investment in MTP Shares. This summary deals only with U.S. holders that hold MTP Shares as capital assets. It does not address
considerations that may be relevant to you if you are an investor that is subject to special tax rules, such as a financial institution, insurance company, regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, investor in pass-through
entities, U.S. holder of MTP Shares whose &#147;functional currency&#148; is not the United States dollar, tax-exempt organization, dealer in securities or currencies, trader in securities or commodities that elects mark to market treatment, person
who holds MTP Shares in a qualified tax-deferred account such as an IRA, or person that will hold MTP Shares as a position in a &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;hedge&#148; or as part of a &#147;constructive sale&#148; for federal income tax purposes. It
is not intended to be a complete discussion of all such federal income tax consequences, nor does it purport to deal with all categories of investors. This discussion reflects applicable tax laws of the United States as of the date of this Statement
of Additional Information, which tax laws may change or be subject to new interpretation by the courts or the Internal Revenue Service, possibly with retroactive effect. INVESTORS ARE THEREFORE ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS BEFORE
MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN 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 Fund intends to elect to be treated, and to qualify each year, as a regulated
investment company, under Subchapter M of the Code, and to satisfy conditions which enable dividends on Common Shares and MTP Shares which are attributable to interest on municipal securities to be exempt from federal income tax in the hands of
owners of such stock, subject to the possible application of 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">In order for any
distributions to holders of MTP Shares to be eligible to be treated as exempt-interest dividends, MTP Shares must be treated as stock for federal income tax purposes. Under present law, Tax Counsel is of the opinion that MTP Shares of the Fund will
constitute equity of the Fund, and thus distributions with respect to MTP Shares (other than distributions in redemption of MTP Shares subject to Section 302(b) of the Code) will generally constitute dividends to the extent of the Fund&#146;s
current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes. Because the treatment of a corporate security as debt or equity is determined on the basis of the facts and circumstances of each case, and no controlling
precedent exists for the MTP Shares, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question the Fund&#146;s treatment of MTP Shares as equity. If the IRS were to succeed in such a challenge, holders of MTP Shares could be characterized as
receiving taxable interest income rather than exempt-interest or other dividends, possibly requiring them to file amended income tax returns and retroactively to recognize additional amounts of ordinary income or to pay additional tax, interest, and
penalties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To qualify for the favorable federal income tax treatment generally accorded to regulated investment companies,
the Fund must, among other things, (a) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or non-U.S.
currencies, or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, or net income derived from interests in &#147;qualified publicly traded partnerships,&#148; as defined in the Code; (b) diversify
its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of the Fund&#146;s assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, the securities of other
regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for the purposes of this calculation to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets and not greater than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested in the securities (other than U.S. government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) of a single
issuer, or two or more issuers that the Fund controls and are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships; and (c) distribute each year an amount equal to or
greater than the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code, but without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a regulated investment company, the Fund generally will not be subject to federal income
tax on its investment company taxable income and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any, that it distributes to shareholders. The Fund may retain for investment its net capital gain.
However, if the Fund retains any net capital gain or any investment company taxable income, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates on the amount retained. If the Fund retains any net capital gain, it may designate the retained amount
as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its shareholders who, if subject to federal income tax on long-term capital gains, (i) will be required to include in income for federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their share of
such undistributed amount, and (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the tax paid by the Fund on such undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities, if any, and to claim refunds to the extent the credit
exceeds such liabilities. For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of shares owned by a shareholder of the Fund will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the
shareholder&#146;s gross income and the tax deemed paid by the shareholder under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders, at least annually, substantially all of its investment company taxable income
and the net capital gain not otherwise retained 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">Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a
calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax. To prevent imposition of the excise tax, the Fund must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary taxable
income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) 98% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one-year period ending November 30 of the calendar year,
and (3) any ordinary taxable income and capital gains for previous years that were not distributed during those years and on which the Fund paid no federal income tax. To prevent application of the excise tax, the Fund intends to make its
distributions in accordance with the calendar year distribution requirement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If at any time when the Fund&#146;s MTP Shares
are outstanding the Fund fails to meet the Asset Coverage, the Fund will be required to suspend distributions to holders of its Common Shares until such asset coverage is restored. See &#147;Description of MTP Shares&#151;Restrictions on Dividend,
Redemption and Other Payments&#148; in the Prospectus. This may prevent the Fund from distributing at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code determined without regard to the deduction for dividends
paid) and net tax-exempt income, and may therefore jeopardize the Fund&#146;s qualification for taxation as a regulated investment company or cause the Fund to incur a tax liability or a non-deductible 4% excise tax on the undistributed taxable
income (including gain), or both. Upon failure to meet the MTP Asset Coverage, the Fund will be required to redeem MTP Shares in order to maintain or restore such asset coverage and avoid the adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders of
failing to qualify as a regulated investment company. There can be no assurance, however, that any such redemption would achieve such objectives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the Fund failed to qualify as a regulated investment company or failed to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement in any taxable year, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary
corporation on its taxable income (even if such income were distributed to its shareholders) and distributions to shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. Additionally, all distributions out of earnings and
profits would be taxed to shareholders as ordinary dividend income. Such distributions generally would be eligible (i) to be treated as &#147;qualified dividend income,&#148; as discussed below in the case of noncorporate shareholders and (ii) for
the dividends received deduction under Section 243 of the Code (the &#147;Dividends Received Deduction&#148;) in the case of corporate shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund intends to qualify to pay &#147;exempt-interest&#148; dividends, as defined in the Code, on its Common Shares and MTP Shares by satisfying the requirement that, at the close of each quarter of
its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets consist of tax-exempt municipal bonds. Exempt-interest dividends are dividends or any part thereof (other than a capital gain dividend) paid by the Fund which are attributable to
interest on municipal bonds and are so designated by the Fund. Exempt-interest dividends will be exempt from federal income tax, subject to the possible application of the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P>

each day on which such holder is the shareholder of record. The Fund intends to notify holders of MTP Shares in advance if it will allocate to them income that is not exempt from regular federal income tax. In certain circumstances, the Fund will
make payments to holders of MTP Shares to offset the tax effects of the taxable distribution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A portion of the Fund&#146;s
expenditures that would otherwise be deductible may not be allowed as deductions by reason of the Fund&#146;s investment in municipal securities (with such disallowed portion, in general, being the same percentage of the Fund&#146;s aggregate
expenses as the percentage of the Fund&#146;s aggregate income (other than capital gain income) that constitutes exempt-interest income from municipal securities). A similar disallowance rule also applies to interest expense paid or incurred by the
Fund, if any. Such disallowed deductions, if any, will reduce the amount that the Fund can designate as exempt-interest dividends by the disallowed amount. As a result, income distributions by the Fund in excess of the amount of the Fund&#146;s
exempt-interest dividends may be taxable as ordinary income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s investment in zero coupon bonds will cause it to
realize income prior to the receipt of cash payments with respect to these bonds. Such income will be accrued daily by the Fund and, in order to avoid a tax payable by the Fund, the Fund may be required to liquidate securities that it might
otherwise continue to hold in order to generate cash so that the Fund may make required distributions to its shareholders. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Distributions to shareholders of ordinary income other than tax-exempt interest (including net investment income received by the Fund
from taxable temporary investments, if any, certain income from financial futures and options transactions and market discount realized by the Fund on the sale of municipal securities) and of net short-term capital gains realized by the Fund, if
any, will be taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions by the Fund of net capital gain (<I>i.e.</I>, the excess of net long-term 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). For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; received by noncorporate shareholders is taxed at rates
equivalent to long-term capital gain tax rates, which reach a maximum of 15%. Qualified dividend income generally includes dividends from domestic corporations and dividends from non-U.S. corporations that meet certain specified criteria. For
taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, qualified dividend income will no longer be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, and the maximum individual tax rate on long-term capital gains will increase to 20%, unless
Congress enacts legislation providing otherwise. 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 shareholders from its investments will qualify for the
Dividends Received Deduction available to corporate shareholders or as qualified dividend income in the case of noncorporate shareholders. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) indicates that the Fund is required to designate distributions paid with respect to its Common Shares and its MTP Shares as consisting of a portion of
each type of income distributed by the Fund. The portion of each type of income deemed received by the holders of each class of shares will be equal to the portion of total Fund dividends received by such class. Thus, the Fund will designate
dividends paid as exempt-interest dividends in a manner that allocates such dividends between the holders of the Common Shares and the MTP Shares in proportion to the total dividends paid to each such class during or with respect to the taxable
year, or otherwise as required by applicable law. Capital gain dividends and ordinary income dividends will similarly be allocated between the two classes. In certain circumstances, the Fund will make payments to holders of MTP Shares to offset the
tax effects of a taxable distribution. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Code provides that interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase

may not be an appropriate investment for a shareholder who is considered either a &#147;substantial user&#148; or a &#147;related person&#148; within the meaning of the Code. In general, a &#147;substantial user&#148; of a facility includes a
&#147;nonexempt person who regularly uses a part of such facility in his trade or business.&#148; &#147;Related persons&#148; are in general defined to include persons among whom there exists a relationship, either by family or business, which would
result in a disallowance of losses in transactions among them under various provisions of the Code (or if they are members of the same controlled group of corporations under the Code), including a partnership and each of its partners (and certain
members of their families), an S corporation and each of its shareholders (and certain members of their families) and various combinations of these and other relationships. The foregoing is not a complete description of all of the provisions of the

distributed by the Fund (and received by the shareholders) on December&nbsp;31 of the year declared. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain of the
Fund&#146;s investment practices are subject to special provisions of the Code that, among other things, may disallow, limit or defer the use of certain deductions or losses of the Fund, affect the holding period of securities held by the Fund and
alter the character of the gains or losses realized by the Fund. These provisions may also require the Fund to recognize income or gain without receiving cash with which to make distributions in the amounts necessary to satisfy the requirements for
maintaining regulated investment company status and for avoiding income and excise taxes. The Fund will monitor its transactions and may make certain tax elections in order to mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent disqualification of the
Fund as a regulated investment company. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of MTP Shares, if any (other than
redemptions, the rules for which are described below) will generally be treated as capital gain or loss, except that a portion of the amount received on the disposition of MTP Shares may be characterized as an accumulated but unpaid dividend subject
to the rules described above. Gain or loss will generally be treated as long-term if the MTP Shares have been held for more than one year and otherwise will be treated as short-term. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of
corporations at the rates applicable to ordinary income. For non-corporate taxpayers, however, under current law short-term capital gains and ordinary income will be taxed at a maximum rate of 35% while long-term capital gains generally will be
taxed at a maximum rate of 15%, subject to the legislation phase-out discussed above. However, because of the limitations on itemized deductions and the deduction for personal exemptions applicable to higher income taxpayers, the effective rate of
tax may be higher in certain circumstances. Losses realized by a shareholder on the sale or exchange of shares of the Fund held for six months or less are disallowed to the extent of any distribution of exempt-interest dividends received with
respect to such shares, and, if not disallowed, such losses are treated as long-term capital losses to the extent of any distribution of long-term capital gain received (or amounts designated as undistributed capital gains) with respect to such
shares. 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 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>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

law imposes an alternative minimum tax with respect to corporations, individuals, trusts and estates. Interest on certain municipal 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 received income from municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund, although otherwise exempt from federal income tax, would 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 securities 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 securities, and therefore a distribution 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. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides an exemption from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals for
interest on private activity bonds and, for purposes of calculating a corporate taxpayer&#146;s adjusted current earnings, an exemption for interest on all tax-exempt bonds, with both exemptions limited to bonds that are issued after December 31,

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about 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 reflects Standard &amp; Poor&#146;s view of 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. </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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the put feature, in addition to the usual long-term rating. Medium-term notes are assigned long-term ratings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT

ratings are an assessment of default risk, but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in

are not assigned prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non- payment on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration of the
deferral or grace period, unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a coercive debt exchange. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Rating Watches indicate that there is a heightened probability of a rating change and the likely direction of such a change. These are
designated as &#147;Positive&#148;, indicating a potential upgrade, &#147;Negative&#148;, for a potential downgrade, or &#147;Evolving&#148;, if ratings may be raised, lowered or affirmed. However, ratings that are not on Rating Watch can be raised
or lowered without being placed on Rating Watch first, if circumstances warrant such an action. A Rating Watch is typically event-driven and, as such, it is generally resolved over a relatively short period. The event driving the Watch may be either
anticipated or have already occurred, but in both cases, the exact rating implications remain undetermined. The Watch period is typically used to gather further information and/or subject the information to further analysis. Additionally, a Watch
may be used where the rating implications are already clear, but where a triggering event (e.g. shareholder or regulatory approval) exists. The Watch will typically extend to cover the period until the triggering event is resolved or its outcome is
predictable with a high enough degree of certainty to permit resolution of the Watch. Rating Watches can be employed by all analytical groups and are applied to the ratings of individual entities and/or individual instruments. At the lowest
categories of speculative grade (&#145;CCC&#146;, &#145;CC&#146; and &#145;C&#146;) the high volatility of credit profiles may imply that almost all ratings should carry a Watch. Watches are nonetheless only applied selectively in these categories,
where a committee decides that particular events or threats are best communicated by the addition of the Watch designation. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Rating Outlooks indicate the direction a rating is likely to move over a one- to two-year period. They reflect financial or other trends
that have not yet reached the level that would trigger a rating action, but which may do so if such trends continue. The majority of Outlooks are generally Stable, which is consistent with the historical migration experience of ratings over a one-
to two-year period. Positive or Negative rating Outlooks do not imply that a rating change is inevitable and, similarly, ratings with Stable Outlooks can be raised or lowered without a prior revision to the Outlook, if circumstances warrant such an
action. Occasionally, where the fundamental trend has strong, conflicting elements of both positive and negative, the Rating Outlook may be described as Evolving. Outlooks are currently applied on the long-term scale to issuer ratings in corporate
finance (including sovereigns, industrials, utilities, financial institutions and insurance companies) and public finance outside the U.S.; to issue ratings in public finance in the U.S.; to certain issues in project finance; to Insurer Financial
Strength Ratings; to issuer and/or issue ratings in a number of National Rating scales; and to the ratings of structured finance transactions. Outlooks are not applied to ratings assigned on the short-term scale and are applied selectively to
ratings in the &#145;CCC&#146;, &#145;CC&#146; and &#145;C&#146; categories. Defaulted ratings typically do not carry an Outlook. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

nonetheless likely see ratings placed on Watch rather than a revision to the Outlook. An Outlook revision may, however, be deemed more appropriate where a series of potential event risks has been identified, none of which individually warrants a
Watch but which cumulatively indicate heightened probability of a rating change over the following one to two years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A

which the Underwriters are 50% at fault and other defendants, all of whom are insolvent, are 50% at fault. Further assume that there were 2 Underwriters, each which underwrote 50% of the offering, and they were equally at fault. If neither
Underwriter settles, then each would be required to pay $500 to satisfy the $1,000 verdict for which they are jointly and severally liable (or, if one paid $1,000, Section&nbsp;9.5 would obligate the other to contribute $500 towards such payment).
If the first Underwriter settles for $100, then the second Underwriter will obtain a judgment credit of $500, being equal to the greater of: (a)&nbsp;settlement amount ($100), (b)&nbsp;the first Underwriter&#146;s fault ($250), and (c)&nbsp;the
