Exhibit (e)(7)

NUVEEN MUTUAL FUNDS

Dealer Distribution, Shareholder Servicing and Fee-Based Program Agreement

As principal underwriter of shares of the various Nuveen non-money market open-end mutual funds, and of the shares of any future such funds (collectively, the “Funds”) Nuveen Investments, LLC (the “Distributor”) invites you (a) to join a selling group for the distribution of shares of common stock of the Funds (the “Shares”), and/or (b) if you offer a Fee-Based Program for financial planning, investment advisory and/or asset management services or provide such services to your clients in connection with the establishment of an investment account for which a comprehensive “wrap fee” charge is imposed (“Fee-Based Program”), to include select open-end investment companies sponsored by Nuveen Investments in your Fee-Based Program. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by all parties, as exclusive agent of the Funds, we offer to sell you Shares and you agree to purchase Shares and/or provide the services described herein on the following terms:

1. In all sales of Shares to the public you shall act as dealer for your own account or as agent for your customers, and in no transaction shall you have any authority to act as agent for any Fund, for us or for any other member of the Selling Group. If acting as agent for your customers, the customers in question are for all purposes your customers and not customers of Nuveen Investments. We shall execute transactions for each of your customers only upon your authorization, it being understood in all cases that (a) you are acting as agent for the customer; (b) the transactions are without recourse against you by the customer; (c) as between you and the customer, the customer will have full beneficial ownership of the securities; (d) each transaction is initiated solely upon the order of the customer; and (e) each transaction is for the account of the customer and not for your account.

2. Orders for purchase of Shares received from you shall be accepted by us only at the public offering price applicable to each order, as established by the then current Prospectus of the appropriate Fund, subject to the discounts provided in such Prospectus. Upon receipt from you of any order to purchase Shares we shall confirm to you in writing or by wire to be followed by a confirmation in writing, and, if applicable, we shall concurrently send to your customer a letter confirming such order, together with a copy of the appropriate Fund’s current prospectus. Additional instructions may be forwarded to you from time to time. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us in our sole discretion.

3. Members of the general public, including you and your customers, may purchase Shares and you may offer and sell Shares to your customers only at the public offering price determined in the manner described in the current Prospectus of the appropriate Fund. Shares will be offered at a public offering price based upon the net asset value of such Shares plus, with respect to certain class(es) of Shares, either (1) a sales charge from which you shall receive a discount equal to a percentage of the applicable offering price as provided in the Prospectus or, (2) if applicable, a sales charge which, together with the amount of that sales charge to be retained by banks or bank-affiliated broker-dealers acting as agent for their customers, is set forth in the Prospectus. You may receive a distribution fee and/or a service fee with respect to certain class(es) of Shares for which such fees are applicable, as provided in the applicable Prospectus, which distribution fee and/or service fee shall be payable for such periods and at such intervals as are from time to time specified by us. Your placement of an order for Shares after the date of any notice of an amendment to this Agreement shall conclusively evidence your agreement to be bound thereby.

Reduced sales charges may also be available as a result of a cumulative discount or pursuant to a letter of intent. Further information as to such reduced sales charges, if any, is set forth in the appropriate Fund Prospectus. You agree to advise us promptly as to the amounts of any sales made by you to the public qualifying for reduced sales charges.

4. By accepting this Agreement, you agree:

a) That you will purchase Shares only from us, and only to cover purchase orders already received from your customers, or for your own bona fide investment;

b) That you will not withhold placing with us orders received from your customers so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding; and

c) That, with respect to the sale of Shares of Funds that offer multiple classes of Shares, you will comply with the terms of the Policies and Procedures with Respect to Sales of Multiple Classes of Shares, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5. We will not accept from you any conditional orders for Shares.

6. Payment for Shares ordered from us shall be in New York clearing house funds and must be received by the Funds’ agent, Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) attn: Nuveen Investor Services., 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, within three business days after our acceptance of your order. If such payment is not received, we reserve the right, without notice, forthwith to cancel the sale or, at our option, to cause the Fund to redeem the Shares ordered, in which case we may hold you responsible for any loss, including loss of profit, suffered by us as result of your or your customer’s failure to make such payment. If any Shares confirmed to you or your customer under the terms of this agreement are repurchased by the issuing Fund or by us as agent for the Fund, or are tendered for repurchase, within seven business days after the date of our confirmation of the original purchase order, you shall promptly refund to us the full discount, commission, or other concession, if any, allowed or paid to you on such Shares.

7. Shares sold hereunder shall be available in book-entry form on the books of BFDS unless other instructions have been given.

8. No person is authorized to make any representations concerning Shares of any Fund except those contained in the applicable current Prospectus and printed information subsequently issued by the appropriate Fund or by us as information supplemental to such Prospectus. You agree that you will not offer or sell any Shares except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable Federal and state securities laws and that in connection with sales and offers to sell Shares you will furnish to each person to whom any such sale or offer is made a copy of the then current Prospectus for the appropriate Fund (as the amended or supplemented) and will not furnish to any persons any information relating to Shares which is inconsistent in any respect with the information contained in the then current Prospectus or cause any advertisement to be published in any newspaper or posted in any public place without our consent and the consent of the appropriate Fund. You shall be responsible for any required filing of such advertising. The Fund shall supply you with such quantities of Prospectuses, statements of additional information, semi-annual and annual reports, proxies and other required documentation as may reasonably be requested by you, at the cost of the Fund.

9. All sales will be made subject to our receipt of Shares from the appropriate Fund. We reserve the right, in our discretion, without notice, to modify, suspend or withdraw entirely the offering of any Shares, and upon notice to change the price, sales charge, or dealer discount or to modify, cancel or change the terms of this Agreement.

10. You shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and literature distribution as is necessary or appropriate for providing information and services to your customers. Such services and assistance may include, but not be limited to, establishment and maintenance of shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine inquiries regarding the Funds, and such other services as may be agreed upon from time to time and as may be permitted by applicable statute, rule, or regulation. You shall perform these services in good faith and with reasonable care. You shall immediately inform the Funds or us of all written complaints received by you from Fund shareholders relating to the maintenance of their accounts and shall promptly answer all such complaints.

11. In connection with the Funds that permit the sale of their shares at net asset value to customers purchasing through a Fee-Based Program, as described in their respective Prospectuses, you further agree to abide by the following terms:

a) You represent that you have established a Fee-Based Program as defined above;

b) The Funds to which this Agreement pertains will be those designated by Distributor and accepted by you, from time to time, subject to the provision of each Fund’s then current Prospectus, state and federal securities laws and regulations, and applicable rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc (the “NASD”);

c) You may sell certain class(es) of shares of the Funds designated as described in Sub-section b) above at net asset value to your bona fide clients participating in the Fee-Based Program. You will earn no concession or commission on any such sale, but will be entitled to receive the appropriate 12b-1 fees, if any, otherwise payable with respect thereto to the extent provided from time to time in the applicable Funds’ Prospectuses;

d) Any agent (other than your employee(s) or representative(s)) employed or utilized by you to perform any services under this Agreement on your behalf, including but not limited to a clearing agent, shall enter into an agreement with Distributor containing such provisions as Distributor may reasonably require; you shall, however, remain responsible for the performance of your agents; and

e) Distributor is not endorsing, recommending or otherwise involved in providing any investment product offered by you (including but not limited to the Fee-Based Program), and you are prohibited from representing otherwise; Distributor is merely affording you the opportunity to use shares of certain Funds distributed by Distributor as an investment medium for the Fee-Based Program.

12. All communications to us should be sent to 000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. Any notice to you shall be duly given if mailed or telegraphed to you at the address specified by you below.
