Nuveen Mutual Funds
Form of
Dealer Distribution and
Shareholder Servicing Agreement
As principal underwriter of shares of the various Nuveen non-money market
open-end mutual funds, and of the shares of any future such funds (collectively,
the "Funds"), we invite you to join a selling group for the distribution of
shares of common stock of the Funds (the "Shares"). As exclusive agent of the
Funds, we offer to sell you Shares on the following terms:
1. In all sales of Shares to the public you shall act as dealer for your own
account, and in no transaction shall you have any authority to act as agent
for any Fund, for us or for any other member of the Selling Group.
2. Orders received from you shall be accepted by us only at the public
offering price applicable to each order, as established by the then current
Prospectus of the appropriate Fund, subject to the discounts provided in
such Prospectus. Upon receipt from you of any order to purchase Shares we
shall confirm to you in writing or by wire to be followed by a confirmation
in writing. Additional instructions may be forwarded to you from time to
time. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us in our sole
discretion.
3. You may offer and sell Shares to your customers only at the public offering
price determined in the manner described in the current Prospectus of the
appropriate Fund. Shares will be offered at a public offering price based
upon the net asset value of such Shares plus, with respect to certain
class(es) of Shares, a sales charge from which you shall receive a discount
equal to a percentage of the applicable offering price as provided in the
Prospectus. You may receive a distribution fee and/or a service fee with
respect to certain class(es) of Shares for which such fees are applicable,
as provided in the applicable Prospectus, which distribution fee and/or
service fee shall be payable for such periods and at such intervals as are
from time to time specified by us. Your placement of an order for Shares
after the date of any notice of such amendment shall conclusively evidence
your agreement to be bound thereby.
Reduced sales charges may also be available as a result of a cumulative
discount or pursuant to a letter of intent. Further information as to such
reduced sales charges, if any, is set forth in the appropriate Fund
Prospectus. You agree to advise us promptly as to the amounts of any sales
made by you to the public qualifying for reduced sales charges.
4. By accepting this Agreement, you agree:
a) That you will purchase Shares only from us;
b) That you will purchase Shares from us only to cover purchase orders
already received from your customers, or for your own bona fide
investment; and
c) That you will not withhold placing with us orders received from your
customers so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding.
d) That, with respect to the sale of Shares of Funds that offer multiple
classes of Shares, you will comply with the terms of the Policies and
Procedures with Respect to Sales of Multiple Classes of Shares,
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5. We will not accept from you any conditional orders for Shares.
6. Payment for Shares ordered from us shall be in New York clearing house
funds and must be received by the Funds' agent, Chase Global Funds
Services, Co., 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, within three
business days after our acceptance of your order. If such payment is not
received, we reserve the right, without notice, forthwith to cancel the
sale or, at our option, to cause the Fund to redeem the Shares ordered, in
which case we may hold you responsible for any loss, including loss of
profit, suffered by us as result of your failure to make such payment. If
any Shares confirmed to you under the terms of this agreement are
repurchased by the issuing Fund or by us as agent for the Fund, or are
tendered for repurchase, within seven
1
business days after the date of our confirmation of the original purchase
order, you shall promptly refund to us the full discount, commission, or
other concession, if any, allowed or paid to you on such Shares.
7. Shares sold hereunder shall be available in book-entry form on the books of
Shareholder Services, Inc. unless other instructions have been given.
8. No person is authorized to make any representations concerning Shares of
any Fund except those contained in the applicable current Prospectus and
printed information subsequently issued by the appropriate Fund or by us as
information supplemental to such Prospectus. You agree that you will not
offer or sell any Shares except under circumstances that will result in
compliance with the applicable Federal and state securities laws and that
in connection with sales and offers to sell Shares you will furnish to each
person to whom any such sale or offer is made a copy of the then current
Prospectus for the appropriate Fund (as the amended or supplemented) and
will not furnish to any persons any information relating to Shares which is
inconsistent in any respect with the information contained in the then
current Prospectus or cause any advertisement to be published in any
newspaper or posted in any public place without our consent and the consent
of the appropriate Fund. You shall be responsible for any required filing
of such advertising.
9. All sales will be made subject to our receipt of Shares from the
appropriate Fund. We reserve the right, in our discretion, without notice,
to modify, suspend or withdraw entirely the offering of any Shares, and
upon notice to change the price, sales charge, or dealer discount or to
modify, cancel or change the terms of this agreement.
10. Your acceptance of this agreement constitutes a representation that you are
a registered securities dealer and a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and agree to comply with
all applicable state and Federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to
transactions hereunder and to the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., including specifically Section 26,
Article III thereof. You likewise agree that you will not offer to sell
Shares in any state or other jurisdiction in which they may not lawfully be
offered for sale.
11. You shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities,
personnel and literature distribution as is necessary or appropriate for
providing information and services to your customers. Such services and
assistance may include, but not be limited to, establishment and
maintenance of shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, answering routine inquiries regarding the Funds,
and such other services as may be agreed upon from time to time and as may
be permitted by applicable statute, rule, or regulation. You shall perform
these services in good faith and with reasonable care. You shall
immediately inform the Funds or us of all written complaints received by
you from Fund shareholders relating to the maintenance of their accounts
and shall promptly answer all such complaints.
12. All communications to us should be sent to 000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000. Any notice to you shall be duly given if mailed or
telegraphed to you at the address specified by you below.
13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Illinois. This Agreement is subject to the Prospectuses of the Funds
from time to time in effect, and, in the event of a conflict, the terms of
the Prospectuses shall control. References herein to the "Prospectus" of a
Fund shall mean the prospectus and statement of additional information of
such Fund as from time to time in effect. Any changes, modifications or
additions reflected in any such Prospectus shall be effective on the date
of such Prospectus (or supplement thereto) unless specified otherwise. This
Agreement shall supersede any prior dealer distribution agreement with
respect to the Funds.

Exhibit A to Nuveen Mutual Funds
Dealer Distribution and
Shareholder Servicing Agreement
Policies and Procedures With Respect to
Sales of Multiple Classes of Funds
The Nuveen non-money market open-end mutual funds (the "Funds") have one or more
of the following classes of shares generally available to the public: Class A
Shares, which are normally subject to an up-front sales charge and a service
fee; Class B Shares, which are subject to an asset-based sales charge, a service
fee, and a declining contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"); and Class C
Shares, which are subject to an asset-based sales charge, a service fee, and a
12-month CDSC, it is important for an investor to choose the method of
purchasing shares which best suits his or her particular circumstances. To
assist investors in these decisions, Nuveen Investments, underwriter for the
Nuveen Mutual Funds, has instituted the following policies with respect to
orders for Fund shares. These policies apply to each Authorized Dealer which
distributes Fund shares.
1. Purchase orders for a single purchaser equal to or exceeding $1,000,000
should be placed only for Class A shares, unless such purchase for Class B
or Class C Shares has been reviewed and approved by the Authorized Dealer's
appropriate supervisor.
2. Any purchase order for less than $1,000,000 may be for Class A, Class B or
Class C Shares in light of the relevant facts and circumstances, including:
a) the specific purchase order dollar amount;
b) the length of time the investor expects to hold his or her Shares;
c) whether the investor expects to reinvest dividends; and
d) any other relevant circumstances such as the availability of purchases
under a letter of intent, a combined discount or a cumulative
discount, as described in the Prospectus for the Fund, and any
anticipated changes in the funds net asset value per share.
There are instances when one method of purchasing Shares may be more appropriate
than the other. For example, investors who would qualify for a significant
discount from the maximum sales load on Class A Shares might determine that
payment of such a reduced up-front sales charge is preferable to the payment of
a higher ongoing distribution fee on Class B or Class C Shares. On the other
hand, investors who prefer not to pay an up-front sales charge may wish to defer
the sales charge by purchasing Class B or Class C Shares. Those who plan to
redeem their shares within 5 years might consider Class C Shares, particularly
if they do not expect to reinvest dividends in additional shares. Note that, if
an investor anticipates redeeming Class B Shares within a short period of time
such as one year, that investor may bear higher distribution expenses than if
Class A Shares had been purchased. In addition, investors who intend to hold
their shares for a significantly long time may not wish to bear the higher
ongoing-asset-based sales charges of Class B or Class C Shares, irrespective of
the fact that the CDSC that would apply to a redemption of Class B Shares is
reduced over time and is ultimately eliminated, and that the CDSC that would
apply to a redemption of Class C Shares is relatively short in duration and
small in amount.
Appropriate supervisory personnel within your organization must ensure that all
employees receiving investor inquiries about the purchase of shares of the Funds
advise the investor of the available pricing structures offered by the Funds and
the impact of choosing one method over another, including breakpoints and the
availability of letters of intent, combined purchases and cumulative discounts.
In some instances it may be appropriate for a supervisory person to discuss a
purchase with the investor.
4
These policies are effective immediately with respect to any order for the
purchase of shares of the Funds.
