BREMNER] DEAR SHAREHOLDER, The economic environment in which your Fund operates reflects continuing but uneven economic recovery. The U.S. and other major industrial countries are experiencing steady but comparatively low levels of economic growth, while emerging market countries are seeing a resumption of relatively strong economic expansion. The potential impact of steps being considered by many governments to counteract the extraordinary governmental spending and credit expansion to deal with the recent financial and economic crisis is injecting uncertainty into global financial markets. The implications for future tax rates, government spending, interest rates and the pace of economic recovery in the U.S. and other leading economies are extremely difficult to predict at the present time. The long term health of the global economy depends on restoring some measure of fiscal discipline around the world, but since all of the corrective steps require economic pain, it is not surprising that governments are reluctant to undertake them. In the near term, governments remain committed to furthering economic recovery and realizing a meaningful reduction in their national unemployment rates. Such an environment should produce continued economic growth and, consequently, attractive investment opportunities. Over the longer term, the larger uncertainty mentioned earlier carries the risk of unexpected potholes in the road to sustained recovery. For this reason, Nuveen's investment management teams are working hard to balance return and risk by building well-diversified portfolios, among other strategies. I encourage you to read the following commentary on the management of your Fund. As always, I also encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your Nuveen Fund investment. Please consult the Nuveen website for the most recent information on your Nuveen Fund at: www.nuveen.com. On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead. Sincerely, /s/ Robert P. Bremner Robert P.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENTS DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2010? During this reporting period, municipal bond prices generally rose as strong cash flows into municipal bond funds combined with tighter supply of new tax-exempt issuance to provide favorable supply and demand conditions. As the period began, there continued to be considerable downward pressure on the economy, and both the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the federal government continued their efforts to improve the overall economic environment. For its part, the Fed continued to hold the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% since cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its June 2010 meeting (following the end of this reporting period), the central bank renewed its pledge to keep the fed funds rate "exceptionally low" for an "extended period." As part of its efforts, the federal government put into place the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a $787 billion economic stimulus package intended to provide job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance to state and local governments and expansion of unemployment benefits and other federal social welfare programs. In recent months, these and other measures taken by the Fed and the government to ease the economic recession have produced some incipient signs of improvement. In the first quarter of 2010, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at an annualized rate of 2.7%. This marked the first time since 2007 that the economy had strung together three consecutive positive quarters. Housing also provided something of a bright spot, as the average home price gained 3.8% for the twelve months ended April 2010, the largest year-over-year increase since September 2006. At the same time, inflation continued to be relatively tame, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.0% year-over-year as of May 2010, driven mainly by increased prices CERTAIN STATEMENTS IN THIS REPORT ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

THE FUNDS DISCLAIM ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE PUBLICLY OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS OR VIEWS EXPRESSED HEREIN. 2 Nuveen Investments for gasoline and fuel oil. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) rose 0.9% over the year, the lowest pace since 1966 and within the Fed's official objective of 2.0% or lower for this measure. While labor markets remained weak, recent months saw some improvement. As of May 2010, the national unemployment rate was 9.7%, up from 9.4% in May 2009 but below the 26-year high of 10.1% in October 2009. Municipal market conditions began to show general signs of improvement throughout most of the period. This trend was bolstered by the reduced issuance of tax-exempt municipal debt, due in part to the introduction of the Build America Bond program in 2009. Build America Bonds are a new class of taxable municipal debt, created as part of the February 2009 economic stimulus package. These bonds currently offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to 35% of the bonds' interest payments and therefore provide issuers with an attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, taxable Build America Bonds issuance totaled $95.9 billion, accounting for over 22% of new bonds issued in the municipal market. Over the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, municipal bond issuance nationwide--both tax-exempt and taxable--totaled $428.1 billion, an increase of 17% compared with the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2009. Although total municipal issuance rose during these twelve months, supply actually would have fallen approximately 9% without the Build America Bonds issuance. Demand for tax-exempt bonds remained strong during this period, supported in part by the prospect of higher tax rates in the future. Combined with the lower supply of tax-exempt bonds, this provided support for municipal bond prices. HOW WERE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA DURING THIS PERIOD? Over the past twelve months, Maryland's credit profile remained relatively strong, due to the state's historically sound fiscal management as well as a diverse economy that has fared better than the nation as a whole during the recession. In May 2010, Maryland's jobless rate was 7.2%, up from 7.0% in May 2009, but down from its recent high of 7.7% in early 2010. Like most other states, Maryland's finances have suffered due to declining revenues, which resulted in budget gaps and general fund deficits over the past three years. The state's $31.6 billion fiscal 2010 budget relied on $1 billion of federal stimulus funding, one-time measures, and mid-year reductions totaling more than $1 billion to close a $2.8 billion deficit. In February 2010, Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S&P), and Fitch confirmed their ratings on Maryland general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, municipal issuance in the state totaled $6.9 billion, up almost 25% from the previous twelve-month period. Virginia's proximity to Washington D.C. and a large military presence added some stability to the commonwealth's economy over the twelve-month period, particularly in the northern region. Unemployment in the commonwealth rose from 6.8% in May 2009 to 7.1% in May 2010, below the recent high of 7.3% in March 2010. Virginia was hard hit by the housing recession, especially in the Washington D.C. area, as home sale prices fell to 2002 levels. Recently, however, prices in the area have risen, adding some stability to residential construction. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index, home prices in the Washington D.C. area rose 7.3% over the twelve months ended April 2010, Nuveen Investments 3 compared with a 16.9% loss for the twelve months ended April 2009. For fiscal 2010 and 2011, Virginia faced budget shortfalls of $3.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. As of May 2010, Moody's, S&P and Fitch maintained their ratings on Virginia general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, issuance in Virginia totaled $8.5 billion, a decrease of 2% from the previous twelve months. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD? As previously mentioned, the availability of tax-exempt bonds declined nationally during this period, due in part to the introduction of taxable Build America Bonds in April 2009. This program also had an impact on tax-exempt supply in Maryland and Virginia, both of which ranked among the top 15 states by dollar amount of bonds issued under the Build America Bond program. In Maryland, Build America Bond issuance represented approximately 30% of municipal issuance, while these bonds comprised about 25% of municipal supply in Virginia. Since interest payments from Build America Bonds represent taxable income, we do not view these bonds as good investment opportunities for the Maryland and Virginia Funds. Despite the constrained issuance of tax-exempt municipal bonds, we continued to find attractive value opportunities, taking a bottom-up approach to discovering undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. In the Maryland Funds, we found value in several areas of the market, primarily in the health care sector, but also in transportation (specifically bonds issued for the Port of Baltimore) and higher education. The Virginia Funds also purchased health care and transportation credits (including zero coupon bonds issued to fund the Dulles Corridor Metrorail project) as well as dedicated tax bonds backed by Puerto Rico sales taxes. Some of our investment activity during this period was driven by opportunities created by the provisions of the Build America Bond program. For example, tax-exempt supply was more plentiful in the health care and higher education sectors because, as 501(c)(3) (non-profit) organizations, hospitals and private universities generally do not qualify for the Build America Bond program and must continue to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market. In addition, health care entities were active issuers during this period, as they sought to replace variable rate issuance with fixed rates. Refunding issues also are not covered by the Build America Bond program, and this resulted in attractive opportunities in various other sectors of the market. The impact of the Build America Bond program was also evident in the area of longer-term issuance, as municipal issuers sought to take full advantage of the attractive financing terms offered by these bonds. Approximately 70% of Build America Bonds were issued with maturities of at least 30 years or more. Even though this significantly reduced the availability of tax-exempt credits with longer maturities, we continued to find good opportunities to purchase attractive longer-term bonds for these Funds. During this period, we generally focused on bonds in the 25-year to 30-year part of the yield curve offering 5% coupons or higher. These bonds helped us to maintain the Funds' durations within our target duration range and also rewarded investors as the yield curve remained steep. 4 Nuveen Investments Cash for new purchases during this period was generated primarily by the proceeds from called and maturing bonds. In NPV, we also trimmed our position in bonds with very short maturities. On the whole, however, selling was relatively limited during this period, as the bonds in our portfolios generally offered higher yields than those available in the current marketplace. As of May 31, 2010, all seven of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities.(1) We employ inverse floaters as a form of leverage for a variety of reasons, including duration management as well as income and total return enhancement. HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for the Nuveen Maryland and Virginia Funds, as well as relevant index and peer group information, are presented in the accompanying table.

For the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, the total returns on common share net asset value (NAV) for all of the Maryland and Virginia Funds exceeded the returns for their respective state's (S&P) Municipal Bond Index as well as the S&P National Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, all of the Funds except NPV also outperformed the average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average. Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period included yield curve and duration positioning, credit exposure and sector allocation. In addition, the use of structural leverage was an important positive factor during this period. The impact of structural leverage is discussed in more detail on page seven. Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. 1 An inverse floating rate security, also known as an inverse floater, is a financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities in which the Funds invested during this reporting period, are further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this Report sections of this report. 2 The Standard & Poor's (S&P) Municipal Bond Indexes for Maryland and Virginia are unleveraged, market value-weighted indexes designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Maryland and Virginia municipal bond markets, respectively. These indexes do not reflect any initial or ongoing expenses and are not available for direct investment. 3 The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. This index does not reflect any initial or ongoing expenses and is not available for direct investment. 4 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as follows: 1-year, 46 funds; 5-year, 46 funds; and 10-year, 18 funds. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment. Nuveen Investments 5 During this period, bonds with longer maturities generally outperformed bonds with shorter maturities, with bonds at the longest end of the yield curve posting the strongest returns. The outperformance of longer term bonds was due in part to the decline in interest rates, particularly at the longer end of the curve. The scarcity of tax-exempt bonds with longer maturities also drove up the prices of these bonds. Overall, yield curve positioning and duration proved positive for the performance of the Virginia Funds and neutral to slightly negative in the Maryland Funds. The Virginia Funds tended to have more exposure to the outperforming longer part of the yield curve, while the Maryland Funds were underweighted in this area of the curve. Credit exposure also played an important role in the performance of these Funds. The demand for municipal bonds increased during this period, driven by a variety of factors, including concerns about potential tax increases, the need to rebalance portfolio allocations and a growing appetite for additional risk. At the same time, the supply of new tax-exempt municipal paper declined, due largely to the Build America Bond program. As investors bid up municipal bond prices, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally outperformed those rated AAA. In this environment, the Funds' performance benefited from their allocations to lower quality credits. This was especially true in NFM, which had the heaviest weighting of lower-rated and non-rated bonds among the seven Funds. NMY and NPV, on the other hand, tended to have higher credit quality positions overall, particularly NMY, which had the highest allocation to AAA-rated bonds among these Funds. The higher credit quality hampered the relative performance of these two Funds during this period. Overall, sector allocations were a positive factor for the Funds' performance during this period. Holdings that generally contributed to the Funds' returns included industrial development revenue (IDR) and health care bonds, both of which exceeded the overall municipal market return by substantial margins. Revenue bonds as a whole performed well, with transportation, housing and special tax among the sectors that outperformed the general municipal market for this period. Zero coupon bonds also were among the strongest performers. All of these Funds benefited from their overweight in health care, housing and other revenue (specifically dedicated tax) credits, while the Maryland Funds also had an overexposure to IDRs. In contrast, pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities, performed relatively poorly during this period. The underperformance of these bonds can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. Among the revenue sectors, education, electric utilities, water and sewer and resource recovery trailed the overall municipal market by small margins, while many general obligation and other tax-backed bonds also failed to keep pace with the market for the twelve months. All of the Maryland and Virginia Funds were overweighted in pre-refunded bonds, and the Maryland Funds also had heavy exposures to higher education credits, which had a negative influence on comparative performance. On the other hand, these Funds were generally underweighted in tax-backed securities, which lessened the impact of the underperformance of these bonds. 6 Nuveen Investments IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the comparative indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. The Funds use leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when bond prices generally are rising. Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of these Funds over this reporting period. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS' LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE Shortly after their inceptions, each of the Funds issued auction rate preferred shares (ARPS) to create financial leverage. As noted in past shareholder reports, the ARPS issued by many closed-end funds, including these Funds, have been hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more ARPS have been submitted for sale in each of their regularly scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy have been almost completely non-existent since late February 2008. This means that these auctions have "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of the ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in ARPS did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares continued to receive distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. In the recent market, with short-term rates at multigenerational lows, those maximum rates also have been low. One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is that each Fund's cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, each Fund's common share earnings likely have been incrementally lower at times than they otherwise might have been. As noted in past shareholder reports, the Nuveen funds' Board of Directors/Trustees authorized several methods to refinance a portion of the Nuveen funds' outstanding ARPS. Some funds have utilized tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, for leverage purposes. The amount of TOBs that a fund may use varies according to the composition of each fund's portfolio. Some funds have a greater ability to use TOBs than others. Some funds have issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred (VRDP) Shares, but these issuances have been limited since it has been difficult to find liquidity providers on economically viable terms given the constrained credit environment. Some funds have issued MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) Shares, a fixed rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period of five years. Nuveen Investments 7 While all these efforts have reduced the total amount of outstanding ARPS issued by the Nuveen funds, the funds cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding ARPS might be redeemed. At the time this report was prepared, thirty Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of some common shareholders of each fund, alleging that Nuveen and the fund's officers and Board of Directors/Trustees breached their fiduciary duties related to the redemption at par of the fund's ARPS. After an extensive independent review, on July 14, 2010, the Board of Directors/Trustees announced that each fund had rejected the demands contained in the letters. As a result, the Board of Directors/Trustees has resumed consideration of additional ARPS refinancing. Any future determinations by the Board of Directors/Trustees to refinance a specific fund's ARPS will continue to be based upon a review of the fund's specific circumstances, considering, among other factors, the availability and terms of potential alternative sources of leverage, the receipt of applicable ratings and other necessary approvals for such alternative sources of leverage, and overall market conditions. As of May 31, 2010, the amounts of ARPS redeemed at par by the Funds are as shown in the accompanying table. AUCTION RATE % OF ORIGINAL PREFERRED SHARES AUCTION RATE FUND REDEEMED PREFERRED SHARES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NMY $46,125,000 58.3% NFM $32,000,000 100.0% NZR $32,000,000 100.0% NWI $24,175,000 62.0% NPV $38,250,000 60.0% NGB $24,000,000 100.0% NNB $42,000,000 100.0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of May 31, 2010, the Funds have issued and outstanding MTP Shares, at liquidation value, as shown in the accompanying table. (Refer to Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - General Information and Significant Accounting Policies and Footnote 4 - Fund Shares for further details on MTP Shares.) MTP SHARES FUND AT LIQUIDATION VALUE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NMY $38,775,000 NFM $26,485,000 NZR $27,300,000 NWI $20,700,000 NPV $32,205,000 NGB $22,800,000 NNB $43,200,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of May 31, 2010, 83 out of the 84 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds that had issued ARPS have redeemed at par all or a portion of these shares. These redemptions bring the total amount of Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds' ARPS redemptions to approximately $4.4 billion of the approximately $11.0 billion originally outstanding.

Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds received net ordinary income distributions at the end of December 2009 as follows: ORDINARY INCOME FUND (PER SHARE) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPV $0.0267 NNB $0.0037 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2, Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, and Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 at May 31, 2010, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Chicago, Illinois July 27, 2010 24 Nuveen Investments NMY | Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund | Portfolio of Investments May 31, 2010

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Nuveen Investments 71 | Notes to | Financial Statements 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFM), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NZR), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NWI), Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV), Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NGB) and Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NNB) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of Maryland Premium Income (NMY) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") while Common shares of Maryland Dividend Advantage (NFM), Maryland Dividend Advantage 2 (NZR), Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI), Virginia Dividend Advantage (NGB) and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 (NNB) are traded on the NYSE Amex. 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 designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories. In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) (the "Codification") as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Codification supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have a material effect on the Funds' financial statements. 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 ("U.S. GAAP"). 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 Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular investment, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates 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/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/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2010, 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. Interest 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 of its 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 that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, 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. 72 Nuveen Investments For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. 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 at least 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. GAAP. AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SHARES The following Funds have issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares ("ARPS"), $25,000 stated value per share, which approximates market value, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's ARPS 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. As of May 31, 2010, the number of ARPS outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows:
MARYLAND MARYLAND VIRGINIA PREMIUM DIVIDEND PREMIUM INCOME ADVANTAGE 3 INCOME (NMY) (NWI) (NPV) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series T -- 593 333 Series W 585 -- -- Series TH 734 -- 689 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,319 593 1,022 ==================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the ARPS issued by the Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. As of May 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of outstanding ARPS redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

MUNIFUND TERM PREFERRED SHARES The Funds have issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred ("MTP") Shares, with a $10 stated value per share. Proceeds from the issuance of MTP Shares, net of offering expenses, were used to redeem all, or a portion of, each Fund's outstanding ARPS. Each Fund's MTP Shares are issued in one Series. Dividends, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The MTP Shares trade on the NYSE. As of May 31, 2010, the number of MTP Shares outstanding, annual interest rate and the NYSE "ticker" symbol for each Fund are as follows:

Each Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document ("Term Redemption Date"), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. MTP Shares will be subject to redemption at the option of each Fund ("Optional Redemption Date"), subject to a payment of premium for one year following the Optional Redemption Date ("Premium Expiration Date"), and at par thereafter. MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at the option of each Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit rating of the MTP Shares. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the MTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.

INVERSE FLOATING RATE SECURITIES Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond. A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an "externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a "self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as "(UB) - Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction," with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of "Interest expense and amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations. Nuveen Investments 75 | Notes to | Financial Statements (continued) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters. Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is included as "Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although each Fund is authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did make any such investments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. MARKET AND COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default. Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, 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 valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. 76 Nuveen Investments ZERO COUPON SECURITIES Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically. OFFERING COSTS Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of MTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge which will be amortized over the 5-year life of the shares. Each Fund's amortized deferred charges are recognized as a component of "Interest expense and amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations. Each Fund's offering costs incurred were as follows:

CUSTODIAN FEE CREDIT Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank. INDEMNIFICATIONS Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and 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. GAAP 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. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS In determining the value of each Fund's investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of May 31, 2010:

6. 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 timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds. At May 31, 2010, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule: MARYLAND PREMIUM INCOME (NMY) VIRGINIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPV) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS* 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 ================================================================================ Nuveen Investments 83 | Notes to | Financial Statements (continued) MARYLAND DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NFM) MARYLAND DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NZR) MARYLAND DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 3 (NWI) VIRGINIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NGB) VIRGINIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NNB) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS* 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 ================================================================================ The annual complex-level for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
EFFECTIVE RATE AT COMPLEX-LEVEL MANAGED NET ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL* BREAKPOINT LEVEL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $55 billion .2000% $56 billion .1996 $57 billion .1989 $60 billion .1961 $63 billion .1931 $66 billion .1900 $71 billion .1851 $76 billion .1806 $80 billion .1773 $91 billion .1691 $125 billion .1599 $200 billion .1505 $250 billion .1469 $300 billion .1445 ================================================================================
* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds, with such daily managed assets defined separately for each fund in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level fees, daily net assets and managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. As of May 31, 2010, the complex-level fee rate was .1855%. 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 trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables 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. For the first ten years of Maryland Dividend Advantage's (NFM) and Virginia Dividend Advantage's (NGB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, JANUARY 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001* .30% 2007 .25% 2002 .30 2008 .20 2003 .30 2009 .15 2004 .30 2010 .10 2005 .30 2011 .05 2006 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations. The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse Maryland Dividend Advantage (NFM) and Virginia Dividend Advantage (NGB) for any portion of their fees and expenses beyond January 31, 2011. 84 Nuveen Investments For the first ten years of Maryland Dividend Advantage 2's (NZR) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001* .30% 2007 .25% 2002 .30 2008 .20 2003 .30 2009 .15 2004 .30 2010 .10 2005 .30 2011 .05 2006 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS On January 21, 2010, FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements. The objective of this guidance is to provide guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for both Level 2 and Level 3 positions, ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) on a gross basis (i.e., transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 rollforward must be shown on a gross basis rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

(a) The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents. (b) Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. (c) Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares and/or MuniFund Term Preferred shares, where applicable. (d) After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable. (e) The expense ratios in the above table reflect, among other things, payments to MuniFund Term Preferred shareholders and/or the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 - MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively. * For the period January 29, 2010 (first issuance date of shares) through May 31, 2010. ** For the period April 13, 2010 (first issuance date of shares) through May 31, 2010.

(a) The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents. (b) Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. (c) Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares and/or MuniFund Term Preferred shares, where applicable. (d) After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable. (e) The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to MuniFund Term Preferred shareholders and/or the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 -MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively. * Rounds to less than $.01 per share. ** For the period January 26, 2010 (first issuance date of shares) through May 31, 2010. *** For the period November 18, 2009 (first issuance date of shares) through May 31, 2010.

(1) Board Members serve three year terms, except for two board members who are elected by the holders of Preferred Shares. The Board of Trustees is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, with each being elected to serve until the third succeeding annual shareholders' meeting subsequent to its election or thereafter in each case when its respective successors are duly elected or appointed, except two board members are elected by the holders of Preferred Shares to serve until the next annual shareholders' meeting subsequent to its election or thereafter in each case when its respective successors are duly elected or appointed. The first year elected or appointed represents the year in which the board member was first elected or appointed to any fund in the Nuveen Complex. (2) Also serves as a trustee of the Nuveen Diversified Commodity Fund, a Nuveen-sponsored commodity pool that has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a proposed initial public offering. The S-1 has not been declared effective, and the commodity pool has not commenced operations. (3) Mr. Amboian is an interested trustee because of his position with Nuveen Investments, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, which are affiliates of the Nuveen Funds. (4) Officers serve one year terms through July of each year. The year first elected or appointed represents the year in which the Officer was first elected or appointed to any fund in the Nuveen Complex. 98 Nuveen Investments Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 ACT"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 25-26, 2010 (the "MAY MEETING"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each a "BOARD" and each Trustee or Director, a "BOARD MEMBER") of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the advisory agreements (each an "ADVISORY AGREEMENT") between each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period. In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2010 (the "APRIL MEETING"). Accordingly, the factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting. In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds and NAM, including absolute and comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Funds (as described in more detail below), the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by NAM. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of NAM, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund's Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as Nuveen Investments 99 Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued) all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members' considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below. A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, including advisory services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line, including continued activities to refinance auction rate preferred securities, manage leverage during periods of market turbulence and implement an enhanced leverage management process, modify investment mandates in light of market conditions and seek shareholder approval as necessary, maintain the fund share repurchase program and maintain shareholder communications to keep shareholders apprised of Nuveen's efforts in refinancing preferred shares. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to provide timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and having direct communications with analysts and financial advisors. As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the background, experience and track record of NAM's investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM's ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive for taking undue risks. In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered NAM's compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory. 100 Nuveen Investments B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM The Board considered the performance results of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund's historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund's performance information with that of other funds (the "PERFORMANCE PEER GROUP") based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund's total return information compared to its Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). In addition, the Board reviewed each Fund's total return information compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). Moreover, the Board reviewed the peer ranking of the Nuveen municipal funds advised by NAM in the aggregate. The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels. This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings. In reviewing peer comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the Performance Peer Group of certain funds may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the funds, thereby limiting the usefulness of comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered that the Performance Peer Groups of certain funds (including the Funds) were classified as having significant differences from such funds based on considerations such as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the composition of the peer set (E.G., the number and size of competing funds and number of competing managers). Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance over time had been satisfactory. The Independent Board Members noted that although each Fund underperformed its respective benchmark in the three-year period, each Fund outperformed the performance of its respective benchmark in the one-year period. C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY 1. FEES AND EXPENSES The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the "PEER UNIVERSE") and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the "PEER GROUP") and any expense limitations. The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and/or Peer Group. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as: the asset level of a fund Nuveen Investments 101 Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued) relative to peers; the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; the investment objectives of the peers; expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement; the timing of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage; and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe or Peer Group may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers. In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). Except as set forth in the following sentence, the Independent Board Members noted that the Funds had net management fees and/or net expense ratios below, at or near (within 5 basis points or less) the peer averages of their Peer Group or Peer Universe. The Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund and the Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund had net advisory fees above the peer average but net expense ratios below the peer expense ratio average. Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund. 2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients, including municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed municipal bond exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are sub-advised by NAM. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees. 3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2009. The Independent Board Members 102 Nuveen Investments noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen's revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's investment in its fund business. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits NAM may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable. D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase. Further, the Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end Nuveen Investments 103 Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued) funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds' investment portfolio. In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex are generally reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen's costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase. E. INDIRECT BENEFITS In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk and as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds. In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters. F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed. 104 Nuveen Investments Reinvest Automatically Easily and Conveniently NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest 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 compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on 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 quarter you'll receive a statement showing your total 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 greater of the net asset value or 95% of 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. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may Nuveen Investments 105 Reinvest Automatically Easily and Conveniently (continued) exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the 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. 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 financial 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.

Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have "failed," with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. o 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. o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time to maturity (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 unless an escrow account has been established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust. o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. Nuveen Investments 107 Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (continued) o 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. o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. o PRE-REFUNDING: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond's credit rating and thus its value. o 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. o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically. 108 Nuveen Investments Other Useful Information BOARD OF TRUSTEES John P.

There were no amendments to or waivers from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder. (To view the code, click on Fund Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.) ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees ("Board") determined that the registrant has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial expert is Jack B. Evans, who is "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed. The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

(1) "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. (2) "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees". (3) "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. (4) "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services for agreed upon procedures engagements performed for leveraged funds. SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with NAM that provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting, during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

"Non-Audit Fees billed to Fund" for both fiscal year ends represent "Tax Fees" and "All Other Fees" billed to Fund in their respective amounts from the previous table. Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. The registrant's Board has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, Terence J. Toth, William J. Schneider and David J. Kundert. ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS. a) See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1. b) Not applicable. ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer, NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board on its control activities on a quarterly basis. In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of the registrant's Board or its representative. A member of NAM's legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules. ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant's investment strategies: NAME FUND Cathryn P. Steeves Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts: TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cathryn P. Steeves Registered Investment Company 44 $8.282 billion Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0 Other Accounts 0 $0 * Assets are as of May 31, 2010. None of the assets in these accounts are subject to an advisory fee based on performance. Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic elements--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's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager's performance is evaluated in part by comparing manager's performance against a specified investment benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds in each Fund's specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2 million. As of May 31, 2010, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 55,306 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,205 billion. Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a portfolio manager's base salary. Cash bonus. Each 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's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts, his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its business objectives. Long-term incentive compensation. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen Investments, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit interests in Nuveen's parent. These profit interests entitle the holders to participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen 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. Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM, however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager, although the allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest. Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of May 31, 2010, the portfolio manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal investment team.
