Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board April 3, 2006 Nuveen California Municipal Exchange-Traded Closed-End Funds (NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX) Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS Portfolio manager Scott Romans reviews key investment strategies and the semiannual performance of these eight California Funds. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL, and NKX since 2003. He assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in May 2005. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2006? During this reporting period, we saw a general increase in interest rates across the yield curve, with short-term rates rising faster than longer-term rates. Between September 1, 2005, and February 28, 2006, the Federal Reserve implemented four increases of 0.25% each in the fed funds rate, raising this short-term target by 100 basis points. In contrast, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended February 2006 at 4.55%, up from 4.02% six months earlier, while the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of longer-term municipal market rates, was 5.04% at the end of February 2006, an increase of 17 basis points from the end of August 2005. As interest rates increased, bond valuations generally declined, and the yield curve flattened as shorter-term rates approached the levels of longer-term rates. In this environment, one of our key strategies continued to be careful duration1 management. As the yield curve flattened, we continued to see a substantial number of advance refundings2 in the California market. While these refundings benefited the Funds' performance to a certain extent during this period, they also had a shortening effect on the Funds' durations. To help us maintain these durations within our preferred strategic range, our purchase activity focused mainly on attractively priced bonds with longer durations, that is, bonds maturing in 25 to 30 years. In the current rate environment, we believe that bonds in this part of the yield curve generally offer more attractive opportunities and the best values. In looking for potential purchase candidates, we kept an opportunistic eye toward all types of issuance that we believed could add value to the Funds' portfolios, balancing the goal of performance potential with the need to support the Funds' income streams. Overall, portfolio activity was relatively light, due in part to the decline in California municipal supply during this six-month period. This was especially true during the first 1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these changes than bonds with shorter durations. 2 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower net borrowing costs for bond issuers. 4 two months of 2006, when new issuance in the state dropped 27% from levels seen in early 2005. While we continued to emphasize maintaining weightings of bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated bonds in the four noninsured Funds and NKL and NKX (which can invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities), tighter supply meant fewer opportunities to find lower-rated issues that we believed represented value for shareholders. Therefore, the majority of our new purchases for these six Funds were higher-rated credits, while NPC and NCL continued to invest in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities. One area where we did find opportunities to purchase lower-rated bonds was the tobacco sector. In NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH, we replaced some pre-refunded issues with BBB rated tobacco bonds issued by Sonoma County. This helped us maintain the tobacco allocations of these four Funds at preferred levels. Although the Sonoma County tobacco bonds had lower coupons and shorter maturities than we had strategically targeted for these Funds during this period, we believed that this was offset by the attractive structures and return potential offered by these credits. In NKL and NKX, our duration management strategies also included the use of forward interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument. As discussed in our last shareholder report, we began using these swaps in late 2004 in an effort to reduce the interest rate risk of these two Funds. These hedges were not an attempt to profit from correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements. Instead, our sole objective was to reduce the Funds' durations (and resulting pricing sensitivity) without having a negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short term. During this reporting period, the hedges performed as expected and had a positive impact on the performances of NKL and NKX. As long-term interest rates rose, the value of the hedges increased while the valuation of the Funds' holdings generally declined. We believe this hedging strategy was effective in achieving the intended goal of helping to reduce the net asset value (NAV) volatility of these Funds, and in February 2006, we removed the hedges. 5 As part of our duration management strategies during this period, we were also selectively selling holdings with shorter durations, including bonds with very short maturities, bonds priced to short calls, and pre-refunded bonds. The proceeds from these sales, as well as proceeds from any calls, were then generally reinvested in the 25- to 30-year part of the yield curve as attractive opportunities arose. HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for these California Funds, as well as for relevant indexes and peer groups, are presented in the accompanying table.

Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any expenses. 4 The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category for each period as follows: 6 months, 26; 1 year, 26; 5 years, 15; and 10 years, 13. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 5 The Lipper Insured California Municipal Debt Funds average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in its category for each period as follows: 6 months, 13; 1 year, 13; 5 years, 8; and 10 years, 6. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 6 For the six months ended February 28, 2006, the cumulative returns on NAV for NAC, NVX, and NZH exceeded the return on their Lehman Brothers California municipal benchmark, while NCU trailed this measure. NZH performed relatively in line with the average return for the Lipper California peer group, while the other three noninsured Funds underperformed this average. Among the insured Funds, the returns on NAV for NKL and NKX outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, while NPC and NCL lagged the index return for the six month reporting period. NKL and NKX also performed in line with the average return for the Lipper Insured California peer group, while NPC and NCL trailed the group average. During this reporting period, positive contributors to the Funds' returns included allocations to lower-rated credits (in the four noninsured Funds, as well as NKL, and NKX), yield curve and duration positioning, and--to a more limited extent-- pre-refunding activity. As mentioned earlier, the hedging strategies we employed in NKL and NKX also had a positive impact on the performance of these two Funds for the period. With bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated generally outperforming other credit quality sectors during this period, allocations to these lower-quality credits were a major driver of performance among the six Funds that invest in noninsured bonds. At the same time, the performances of NPC and NCL were hampered by the fact that, as insured Funds, they could not hold any of these lower rated credits. The performance of the lower- credit quality issues during this period was largely the result of investor demand for the higher yields typically associated with these bonds, which drove up their value. As of February 28, 2006, bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated bonds accounted for 16% to 17% of the portfolios of the noninsured Funds, while NKL and NKX each had an allocation of approximately 6% to bonds rated BBB. Among the lower-rated bonds making positive contributions to the Funds' cumulative returns for this period were healthcare (including hospitals and long-term care), housing, and tobacco credits. At period end, the six noninsured Funds held between 2% and 4% of their portfolios in unenhanced tobacco bonds. 7 As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period, yield curve and duration positioning also played important roles in the Funds' performances. On the whole, bonds priced to intermediate calls (i.e., between 2009 and 2012, the part of the curve that experienced the greatest rate changes) were the most impacted by the changes in the yield curve. As a result, these bonds generally underperformed those priced to very short calls (i.e., 2006) and longer calls (i.e., 2014 and beyond). Yield curve positioning or, more specifically, greater exposure to those parts of the yield curve that performed well helped the performance of these Funds during this period. As mentioned earlier, we also continued to see a substantial number of refinancings during this period, which benefited the Funds through price appreciation and enhanced credit quality. The impact of a bond's price appreciation on the Fund's total return is determined by the structure of the bond being refinanced. For example, the advance refunding of a bond with a 7% coupon produces greater price appreciation, and therefore greater positive impact on total return, than the refunding of a 5% coupon bond. As the yield curve flattened, we saw more lower coupon bonds being pre-refunded, which meant that the positive impact of price appreciation from advance refundings was less than in the previous reporting period. In addition, the new bonds that were issued to replace those that were pre-refunded were now higher-quality securities with new maturities and call dates, some of which fell into that part of the yield curve that underperformed during this period. As a result, while the Funds benefited immediately from the initial price appreciation associated with advance refundings, some of their pre-refunded holdings subsequently did not perform well. Additionally, the rising interest rate environment of this six-month period generally meant that the Funds' holdings of older pre-refunded bonds tended to underperform the general municipal market, due primarily to the shorter effective maturities of these bonds. This was especially true in NPC, which held approximately 30% of its portfolio in older pre-refunded bonds as of February 28, 2006. In addition to the factors mentioned above, security-specific issues--including the timing, size, and degree of credit quality enhancement of advance refundings--also accounted for some of the performance differential among these Funds. For example, the difference in exposure to bonds that were newly advance refunded during this period (5.2% in NCL versus 1.5% in NPC) explained much of the difference in performance between these two Funds. 8 HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2006? We continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of February 28, 2006, the four noninsured Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 70% in NCU and NZH and 70% in NAC to 73% in NVX. NPC and NCL continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, while NKL and NKX, which can invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities, had each allocated 84% of their portfolios to insured bonds. As of February 28, 2006, potential call exposure for the period March 2006 through the end of 2007 ranged from zero in NKL, 1% in NAC, 2% in NVX, 3% in NZH, and 4% in NKX to 10% in NCU, 12% in NPC, and 16% in NCL. We continued to work to manage the call structure of these Funds, especially older Funds such as NPC, NCL, and NCU. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates. 9 Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION All of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. The extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates these leveraged Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, leveraged Funds generally pay lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. However, when short-term interest rates rise, as they did during this reporting period, the Funds' borrowing costs also rise, impacting the Funds' expenses, income streams, and total returns. While leveraging still provided benefits for common shareholders, the extent of these benefits was reduced. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were reinvested into bonds generally offering lower yields. While the dividends of all eight Funds remained stable throughout the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2006, NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH announced monthly dividend reductions on March 1, 2006. Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds received capital gains and/or net ordinary income distributions at the end of December 2005 as follows: LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC $0.1367 $0.0109 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCU $0.0122 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC $0.0334 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of February 28, 2006, all of the Funds in this report, except NKX, had positive UNII balances for financial statement purposes and positive UNII balances, based on our best estimate, for tax purposes. NKX 10 had a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes and a positive UNII balance, based on our best estimate, for tax purposes. At the end of the reporting period, the Funds' share prices were trading at premiums or discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart: 2/28/06 6-MONTH AVERAGE PREMIUM/DISCOUNT PREMIUM/DISCOUNT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC +2.10% -2.25% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCL +0.20% -3.03% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCU -3.94% -4.59% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC +1.97% +0.21% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NVX -3.18% -4.72% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NZH -3.11% -5.32% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKL -2.24% -3.88% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKX -3.66% -5.01% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 68 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The California funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California or certain U.S. territories. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Investment Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of derivative investments are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond or derivative investment, each Fund may use a market price or fair market value quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that the market price or fair market value for an investment are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At February 28, 2006, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds. Investment Income Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any. Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation. 69 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA PREMIUM PREMIUM PREMIUM DIVIDEND INCOME INCOME 2 INCOME ADVANTAGE (NPC) (NCL) (NCU) (NAC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- -- 1,720 -- Series T 1,800 1,900 -- -- Series TH -- 1,900 -- 3,500 Series F -- -- -- 3,500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,800 3,800 1,720 7,000 ================================================================================ INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE 2 ADVANTAGE 3 ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NVX) (NZH) (NKL) (NKX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 2,200 3,740 -- -- Series T -- -- 2,360 -- Series TH -- 3,740 -- 1,800 Series F 2,200 -- 2,360 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,400 7,480 4,720 1,800 ================================================================================ Insurance Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) invest only in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds' Common shares. Original Issue 70 Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale. Forward Swap Transactions The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative impact that an increase in long-term interest rates could have on Common share net asset value. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract, and would increase or decrease in value based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swaps' termination date were to increase or decrease. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss would be recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated to, terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To minimize such credit risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. At February 28, 2006, the Funds did not have any forward swap contracts outstanding. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 2. FUND SHARES Transactions in Common shares were as follows:

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions.

Post-October losses of $259,334 were treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year. 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME 2 (NCL) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NCU) TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For the next $3 billion .3875 For net assets over $5 billion .3750 ================================================================================ CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NAC) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NVX) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 3 (NZH) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NKL) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE INSURED CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE (NKX) TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For net assets over $2 billion .3750 ================================================================================ 74 The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As of February 28, 2006, the complex-level fee rate was .1886%. COMPLEX-LEVEL COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $55 billion .2000% For the next $1 billion .1800 For the next $1 billion .1600 For the next $3 billion .1425 For the next $3 billion .1325 For the next $3 billion .1250 For the next $5 billion .1200 For the next $5 billion .1175 For the next $15 billion .1150 For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400 ================================================================================ (1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S. (2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as a different rate or rates is determined. The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBLE You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions. LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds. MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES Robert P.
