                 NUVEEN TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
                 Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an
                 open-end, diversified management investment company with the
                 objective of providing as high a level of current interest
                 income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent, in
                 the view of Fund management, with stability of principal and
                 maintenance of liquidity through investment in a
                 professionally managed portfolio of high quality, short-term
                 Municipal Obligations. The Fund will value its portfolio
                 securities at amortized cost and seek to maintain a net asset
                 value of $1.00 per share.
                    
                  The Fund is designed as a convenient investment vehicle for
                 institutional investors with temporary cash balances such as
                 trust departments, trust companies, and banks acting as
                 agent, adviser, or custodian. It is equally appropriate for
                 the investment of short-term funds held or managed by
                 corporations, insurance companies, investment counselors, law
                 firms, broker-dealers and individuals.     
                    
                  This Prospectus, which should be retained for future
                 reference, sets forth concisely the information about the
                 Fund that a prospective investor ought to know before
                 investing. A "Statement of Additional Information" dated May

                 by the U.S. Government and there can be no assurance that the
                 Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
                 $1.00 per share.

                 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
                 Federal Reserve Board or any other agency.

                 HIGHLIGHTS
                    
                 Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an
                 open-end, diversified management investment company with the
                 objective of providing, through investment in a
                 professionally managed portfolio of high quality short-term
                 Municipal Obligations, as high a level of current interest
                 income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent, in
                 the view of the Fund's management, with stability of
                 principal and the maintenance of liquidity. The Fund values
                 its portfolio at amortized cost and seeks to maintain a net
                 asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no guarantee that
                 this value will be maintained. See "Net Asset Value" on page
                 12 and "The Fund and Its Investment Objective" on page 6.
                        
                  The Fund intends to qualify, as it has in prior years, for
                 tax treatment as a regulated investment company and to
                 satisfy conditions that will enable interest income which is
                 exempt from federal income tax in the hands of the Fund to
                 retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the
                 shareholders of the Fund. Dividends may not be exempt from
                 state or local income taxes. See "Taxes" on page 17.     
 
How to Buy Fund Shares
                    
                 Fund shares may be purchased on days on which the Federal
                 Reserve Bank of Boston is normally open for business
                 ("Business Days") at the net asset value next determined
                 after an order is received together with payment in federal
                 funds. The minimum initial investment is $25,000. Subsequent
                 investments for the account of the shareholder must be in
                 amounts of $500 or more. See "How to Buy Fund Shares" on page
                 14.     
 
How to Redeem Fund Shares
                    
                 Shareholders may redeem shares at net asset value next
                 computed after receipt of a redemption request in proper form
                 on any Business Day. There is no redemption fee. See "How to
                 Redeem Fund Shares" on page 15.     
 
Dividends           
                 The Fund declares dividends daily from its accumulated net
                 income and distributes the dividends monthly in the form of
                 additional shares or, at the option of the investor, in cash.
                 See "Dividends" on page 13.     
Investment Adviser and Principal Underwriter
                    
                 John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated ("Nuveen") acts as principal
                 underwriter of the Fund. Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("Nuveen
                 Advisory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, acts as the
                 Fund's investment adviser and receives an annual fee of .4 of
                 1% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund. The
                 management fee is reduced to .375 of 1%, .350 of 1% and .325
                 of 1% of the average daily net asset value over $500,000,000,
                 $1,000,000,000, and $2,000,000,000, respectively. See
                 "Management of the Fund" on page 11.

Investments         
                 The Fund invests primarily in municipal money market
                 instruments. The Fund may from time to time invest a portion
                 of its assets in debt obligations which are not rated, and
                 variable rate or floating rate obligations. Each of these
                 investments and practices involves certain risk factors.
                 Investors are urged to read the descriptions set forth in
                 this Prospectus of these investments and practices. See
                 "Investment Policies" on page 6.     
                    
                  The information set forth above should be read in
                 conjunction with the detailed information set forth elsewhere
                 in this Prospectus.     
 
                 FUND EXPENSES
                    
                 The following tables illustrate all expenses and fees that a
                 shareholder of the Fund will incur. The expenses and fees
                 shown are for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995.

                  The purpose of the foregoing tables is to help the investor
                 understand all expenses and fees that an investor in the Fund
                 will bear directly or indirectly. As discussed under
                 "Management of the Fund," the management fee is reduced or
                 Nuveen Advisory assumes certain expenses so as to prevent the
                 total expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year from exceeding
                 .45 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund.
                        
                  The following example illustrates the expenses that an
                 investor would pay on a $1,000 investment over various time
                 periods assuming (1) a 5% annual rate of return and (2)
                 redemption at the end of each time period. As noted in the
                 table above, the Fund charges no redemption fees of any kind.

* Annualized.
 
                 YIELD
                 From time to time the Fund may advertise its "yield,"
                 "effective yield" and "taxable equivalent yield." The "yield"
                 of the Fund is based on the income generated by an investment
                 in the Fund over a seven day period. The income is then
                 annualized, i.e. the amount of the income generated by the
                 investment during that week is assumed to be generated each
                 week over a 52-week period and is expressed as a percentage
                 of the investment. "Effective yield" is calculated similarly
                 except that, when annualized, the income earned by the
                 investment is assumed to be reinvested. Due to this
                 compounding effect, the effective yield will be slightly
                 higher than the yield. "Taxable equivalent yield" is the
                 yield that a taxable
 
                                         5
<PAGE>
 
 
                 investment would need to generate in order to equal the
                 Fund's yield on an after-tax basis for an investor in a
                 stated tax bracket (normally assumed to be the bracket with
                 the highest marginal tax rate). A taxable equivalent yield
                 quotation will be higher than the yield or the effective
                 yield quotations. Additional information concerning the
                 Fund's performance figures appears in the Statement of
                 Additional Information.
                    
                  Based on the seven-day period ended February 28, 1995, the
                 Fund's yield, effective yield and taxable equivalent yield
                 (using the maximum federal income tax rate of 39.6%) were

                  This Prospectus may be in use for a full year and it can be
                 expected that during this period there will be material
                 fluctuations in yield from that quoted above. For information

                 THE FUND AND ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
                 The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment
                 company which has the objective of providing, through
                 investment in a professionally managed portfolio of high
                 quality short-term Municipal Obligations (described below),
                 as high a level of current interest income exempt from
                 federal income tax as is consistent, in the view of the
                 Fund's management, with stability of principal and the
                 maintenance of liquidity. The Fund's investment objective is
                 a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed
                 without the approval of the holders of a majority of the
                 shares. The Fund values its portfolio securities at amortized
                 cost and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of
                 $1.00 per share. There is risk in all investments and,
                 therefore, there can be no assurance that the Fund's
                 objective will be achieved.
       
                 INVESTMENT POLICIES
In General          
                 The Fund's investment portfolio will consist primarily of
                 short-term Municipal Obligations which at the time of
                 purchase are eligible for purchase by money market funds
                 under applicable guidelines of the Securities and Exchange
                 Commission ("SEC"), and are: (1) bonds rated within the two
                 highest long-term grades by Moody's Investor Service Inc.
                 ("Moody's") --Aaa or Aa, or by Standard & Poor's Corporation
                 ("S&P") --AAA or AA respectively, or, in the case of
                 municipal commercial paper, rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1
                 by S&P; (2) unrated obligations, which, in the opinion of
                 Nuveen Advisory, have credit characteristics equivalent to
                 obligations rated Aa, MIG-1, VMIG-1 or Prime-1 by Moody's, or
                 AA, SP-1 or A-1 by S&P; or (3) obligations exempt from
                 federal income tax which at the time of purchase are backed
                 by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government as to
                 payment of principal and interest.     
                    
                  The investment portfolio of the Fund will be limited to
                 obligations maturing within 397 days from the date of
                 acquisition or that have variable or floating rates     
 
                                         6
<PAGE>
 
                    
                 of interest (such rates vary with changes in specified market
                 rates or indices such as a bank prime rate or tax-exempt
                 money market index). The Fund may invest in such variable and
                 floating rate instruments even if they carry stated
                 maturities in excess of 397 days, provided that (1) certain
                 conditions contained in rules issued by the SEC under the
                 Investment Company Act of 1940 are satisfied and (2) they
                 meet the conditions of applicable SEC rules and permit the
                 Fund to recover the full principal amount thereof upon
                 specified notice. The Fund's right to obtain payment on such
                 an instrument could be adversely affected by events occurring
                 between the date the Fund elects to tender the instrument and
                 the date proceeds are due.     
                  The ratings of Moody's and S&P represent their opinions as
                 to the quality of those Municipal Obligations which they
                 undertake to rate. It should be emphasized, however, that
                 ratings are general and are not absolute standards of
                 quality. Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, an issue may
                 cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the
                 minimum required for purchase by the Fund. Neither event
                 requires the elimination of such obligation from the Fund's
                 portfolio, but Nuveen Advisory will consider such an event in
                 its determination of whether the Fund should continue to hold
                 such obligation. To the extent that unrated Municipal
                 Obligations may be less liquid, there may be somewhat greater
                 risks in purchasing unrated Municipal Obligations.
                  The types of short-term Municipal Obligations in which the
                 Fund may invest include bond anticipation notes, tax
                 anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, construction
                 loan notes to provide construction financing of specific
                 projects and bank notes issued by governmental authorities to
                 commercial banks as evidence of borrowings. Since these
                 short-term securities frequently serve as interim financing
                 pending receipt of anticipated funds from the issuance of
                 long-term bonds, tax collections or other anticipated future
                 revenues, a weakness in an issuer's ability to obtain such
                 funds as anticipated could adversely affect the issuer's
                 ability to meet its obligations on these short-term
                 securities.
                    
                  The Fund has obtained commitments (each, a "Commitment")
                 from MBIA Insurance Corporation ("MBIA") with respect to
                 certain designated bonds held by the Fund for which credit
                 support is furnished by one of the banks ("Approved Banks")
                 approved by MBIA under its established credit approval
                 standards. Under the terms of a Commitment, if the Fund were
                 to determine that certain adverse circumstances relating to
                 the financial condition of the Approved Bank had occurred,
                 the Fund could cause MBIA to issue a "while-in-fund"
                 insurance policy covering the underlying bonds; after time
                 and subject to further terms and conditions, the Fund could
                 obtain from MBIA an "insured-to-maturity" insurance policy as
                 to the covered bonds. Each type of insurance policy would
                 insure payment of interest on the bonds and payment of
                 principal at maturity. Although such insurance would not
                 guarantee the market value of the bonds or the value of the
                     
                                         7
<PAGE>
 
 
                 Fund's shares, the Fund believes that its ability to obtain
                 insurance for such bonds under such adverse circumstances
                 will enable the Fund to hold or dispose of such bonds at a
                 price at or near their par value.
                  The Fund intends to remain as fully invested in municipal
                 securities as is prudent or practical under the
                 circumstances. The Fund to date has not purchased and has no
                 present intention to purchase "temporary investments," the
                 income from which is subject to federal income tax. However,
                 the Fund may invest not more than 20% of its net assets in
                 such temporary investments. Further, during extraordinary
                 circumstances, the Fund may, for defensive purposes, invest
                 more than 20% of its net assets in such temporary
                 investments. The Fund will invest only in temporary
                 investments with remaining maturities of one year or less
                 which, in the opinion of Nuveen Advisory, are of "high grade"
                 quality.
                    
                  The SEC has proposed amendments to Rule 2a-7 under the
                 Investment Company Act of 1940 that would, among other
                 things, further limit the types of securities eligible for
                 purchase by tax-exempt money market funds. If these
                 amendments are adopted, the Fund will make any necessary
                 adjustments to its portfolio to ensure compliance with Rule
                 2a-7.     
                    
                  Because investments of the Fund will consist of securities
                 with relatively short maturities, the Fund can expect to have
                 a high portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will maintain a
                 dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more than
                 90 days. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, the
                 average maturity of the Fund's portfolio ranged from 30 to 60
                 days.     
 
Municipal Obligations
                 Municipal Obligations include debt obligations issued by
                 states, cities and local authorities to obtain funds for
                 various public purposes, including the construction of such
                 public facilities as airports, bridges, highways, housing,
                 hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water
                 and sewer works. Other public purposes for which Municipal
                 Obligations may be issued include the refinancing of
                 outstanding obligations, the obtaining of funds for general
                 operating expenses and for loans to other public institutions
                 and facilities. In addition, certain industrial development
                 bonds and pollution control bonds may be included within the
                 term Municipal Obligations if the interest paid thereon
                 qualifies as exempt from federal income tax.
                  Two principal classifications of Municipal Obligations are
                 "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation
                 bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith,
                 credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and
                 interest. Revenue bonds are payable only from the revenues
                 derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or,
                 in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other
                 specific revenue source. Industrial development and pollution
                 control bonds are in most cases revenue bonds and do not
                 generally constitute the pledge of the credit or
 
                                         8

                 taxing power of the issuer of such bonds. There are, of
                 course, variations in the security of Municipal Obligations,
                 both within a particular classification and between
                 classifications, depending on numerous factors.
                    
                  Municipal Obligations can be further classified between
                 bonds and notes. Bonds are issued to raise longer-term
                 capital but, when purchased by the Fund, will have 397 days
                 or less remaining until maturity or will have a variable or
                 floating rate of interest. These issues may be either general
                 obligation bonds or revenue bonds.     
                  Notes are short-term instruments with a maturity of two
                 years or less. Most notes are general obligations of the
                 issuer and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale,
                 collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Payment of
                 these notes is primarily dependent upon the issuer's receipt
                 of the anticipated revenues.
                  Municipal Obligations also include very short-term
                 unsecured, negotiable promissory notes, issued by states,
                 municipalities, and their agencies, which are known as "tax-
                 exempt commercial paper" or "municipal paper." Payment of
                 principal and interest on issues of municipal paper may be
                 made from various sources, to the extent that funds are
                 available therefrom. There is a limited secondary market for
                 issues of municipal paper.
                  While these various types of notes as a group represent the
                 major portion of the tax-exempt note market, other types of
                 notes are occasionally available in the marketplace and the
                 Fund may invest in such other types of notes to the extent
                 consistent with its investment objective and limitations.
                 Such notes may be issued for different purposes and with
                 different security than those mentioned above.
                  The yields on Municipal Obligations are dependent on a
                 variety of factors, including the condition of the general
                 money market and the Municipal Obligation market, the size of
                 a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the
                 rating of the issue. Consequently, Municipal Obligations with
                 the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different
                 yields while obligations of the same maturity and coupon with
                 different ratings may have the same yield. The market value
                 of outstanding Municipal Obligations will vary with changes
                 in prevailing interest rate levels and as a result of
                 changing evaluations of the ability of their issuers to meet
                 interest and principal payments.
                  The Fund may purchase and sell Municipal Obligations on a
                 when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When-issued and
                 delayed delivery transactions arise when securities are
                 purchased or sold with payment and delivery beyond the
                 regular settlement date. (When-issued transactions normally
                 settle within 30-45 days). On such transactions the payment
                 obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the
                 buyer enters into the commitment. The commitment to purchase
                 securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may
                 involve an element of risk because the value of the
                 securities is subject to market fluctuation. No interest
                 accrues to the
 
                                         9
<PAGE>
 
 
                 purchaser prior to settlement of the transaction and at the
                 time of delivery the market value may be less than cost.
                  Obligations of issuers of Municipal Obligations are subject
                 to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws
                 affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. In addition,
                 the obligations of such issuers may become subject to laws
                 enacted in the future by Congress, state legislatures or
                 referenda extending the time for payment of principal and/or
                 interest, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of
                 such obligations or upon municipalities to levy taxes. There
                 is also the possibility that, as a result of legislation or
                 other conditions, the power or ability of any issuer to pay,
                 when due, the principal of and interest on its Municipal
                 Obligations may be materially affected.
 
Certain Fundamental Investment Policies
                 The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not: (1) invest more
                 than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer,
                 excluding the United States government, its agencies and
                 instrumentalities; (2) borrow money, except from banks for
                 temporary or emergency purposes and then only in an amount
                 not exceeding (a) 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets
                 at the time of borrowing or (b) one-third of the value of the
                 Fund's total assets including the amount borrowed, in order
                 to meet redemption requests which might otherwise require the
                 untimely disposition of securities; (3) pledge, mortgage or
                 hypothecate its assets, except that, to secure permitted
                 borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, it may pledge
                 securities having a market value at the time of pledge not
                 exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets; (4)
                 make loans, other than by entering into repurchase agreements
                 and through the purchase of Municipal Obligations or
                 temporary investments in accordance with its investment
                 objective, policies and limitations; (5) invest more than 5%
                 of its total assets in securities of unseasoned issuers
                 which, together with their predecessors, have been in
                 operation for less than three years; (6) invest more than 10%
                 of its assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than
                 seven days, "illiquid" securities (such as non-negotiable
                 CDs) and securities without readily available market
                 quotations; or (7) invest more than 25% of its assets in the
                 securities of issuers in any single industry; provided,
                 however, that such limitation shall not be applicable to the
                 purchase of Municipal Obligations and obligations issued or
                 guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or
                 instrumentalities. For purposes of applying the limitations
                 of clauses (1) and (5), the "issuer" of a security shall be
                 deemed to be the entity whose assets and revenues are
                 committed to the payment of principal and interest on such
                 security, provided that the guarantee of an instrument will
                 be considered a separate security (subject to certain
                 exclusions allowed under the Investment Company Act of 1940).
                 The foregoing restrictions and other limitations discussed
                 herein will apply only at the time of purchase of securities
                 and will not be considered violated unless an excess or
 
                                         10

                 deficiency occurs or exists immediately after and as a result
                 of an acquisition of securities.
                  Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund may not
                 purchase portfolio securities from any underwriting syndicate
                 of which Nuveen is a member except under certain limited
                 conditions set forth in Rule 10f-3.
                  For a more complete description of the fundamental
                 investment policies summarized above and the other
                 fundamental investment policies applicable to the Fund, see
                 the Statement of Additional Information. Such fundamental
                 investment policies, together with the Fund's investment
                 objective, and other fundamental policies cannot be changed
                 without approval by holders of a "majority of the Fund's
                 outstanding voting shares." As defined by the Investment
                 Company Act of 1940, this means the vote of (i) 67% or more
                 of the shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more
                 than 50% of the shares are present or represented by proxy,
                 or (ii) more than 50% of the shares, whichever is less.
 
                 MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
                 The management of the Fund, including general supervision of
                 the duties performed by Nuveen Advisory under the Investment
                 Management Agreement, is the responsibility of the Fund's
                 Board of Directors.
                  Nuveen Advisory acts as the investment adviser for and
                 manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
                 Fund. Its address is 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
                 60606. Nuveen Advisory also administers the Fund's business
                 affairs, acts as pricing agent for the Fund, provides office
                 facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping
                 and administrative services, and permits any of its officers
                 or employees to serve without compensation as directors or
                 officers of the Fund if elected to such positions.
                  For the services and facilities furnished by Nuveen
                 Advisory, the Fund has agreed to pay an annual management fee
                 as follows:

</TABLE>    
 
                  All fees and expenses are accrued daily and deducted before
                 payment of dividends to investors. In addition to the
                 management fee of Nuveen Advisory, the Fund pays all other
                 costs and expenses of its operations.
                  The management fee will be reduced or Nuveen Advisory will
                 assume certain Fund expenses in an amount necessary to
                 prevent the Fund's total expenses

                 (including Nuveen Advisory's management fee, but excluding
                 interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of
                 portfolio securities and, to the extent permitted,
                 extraordinary expenses) in any fiscal year from exceeding .45
                 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund. For
                 the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, the management fee
                 amounted to .39 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets,
                 and total expenses amounted to .44 of 1% of the Fund's
                 average daily net assets.     
                    
                  Nuveen Advisory was organized in 1976 and since then has
                 exclusively engaged in the management of municipal securities
                 portfolios. It currently serves as investment adviser to 21
                 open-end municipal securities portfolios (the "Nuveen Mutual
                 Funds") and 55 exchange-traded municipal securities funds
                 (the "Nuveen Exchange-Traded Funds"). Each of these invests
                 substantially all of its assets in investment grade quality,
                 tax-free municipal securities. As of the date of this
                 Prospectus, Nuveen Advisory manages approximately $30 billion
                 in assets held by the Nuveen Mutual Funds and the Nuveen
                 Exchange-Traded Funds.     
                  Nuveen Advisory is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Nuveen
                 & Co. Incorporated, ("Nuveen") 333 West Wacker Drive,
                 Chicago, Illinois 60606, the oldest and largest investment
                 banking firm (based on number of employees) specializing in
                 the underwriting and distribution of tax-exempt securities.
                 Nuveen, the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares, is
                 sponsor of the Nuveen Tax-Exempt Unit Trust, a registered
                 unit investment trust. It is also the principal underwriter
                 of the Nuveen Mutual Funds, and served as co-managing
                 underwriter for the shares of the Nuveen Exchange-Traded
                 Funds. Over 1,000,000 individuals have invested to date in
                 Nuveen's tax exempt funds and trusts. Founded in 1898, Nuveen
                 is a subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company which, in turn, is
                 approximately 75% owned by The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St.
                 Paul"). St. Paul is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is
                 principally engaged in providing property-liability insurance
                 through subsidiaries.
 
                 NET ASSET VALUE
                    
                 The net asset value of the Fund's shares is determined by
                 United States Trust Company of New York, the Fund's
                 custodian, at 12:00 noon eastern time on (1) each day on
                 which the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is normally open for
                 business (a "Business Day") and (2) on any other day during
                 which there is a sufficient degree of trading in the Fund's
                 portfolio securities such that the current net asset value of
                 the Fund's shares might be materially affected by changes in
                 the value of portfolio securities. The net asset value per
                 share will be computed by dividing the sum of the value of
                 the Fund's total assets, less liabilities, by the total
                 number of shares outstanding at such time.     
 
                                         12
<PAGE>
 
 
                  The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per
                 share. In this connection, the Fund values its portfolio
                 securities on the basis of their amortized cost. This method
                 values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and
                 thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any
                 discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating
                 interest rates on the market value of the security. For a
                 more complete description of this valuation method and its
                 effect on existing and prospective shareholders, see the
                 Statement of Additional Information. There can be no
                 assurance that the Fund will be able at all times to maintain
                 a net asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
                 DIVIDENDS
                 All of the net income of the Fund is declared on each
                 calendar day as a dividend on shares entitled to such
                 dividend. Net income of the Fund consists of all interest
                 income accrued and discount earned on portfolio assets
                 (adjusted for amortization of premium or discount on
                 securities when required for federal income tax purposes),
                 plus or minus any realized short-term gains or losses on
                 portfolio instruments since the previous dividend
                 declaration, less estimated expenses incurred subsequent to
                 the previous dividend declaration. It is not expected that
                 realized or unrealized gains or losses on portfolio
                 instruments will be a meaningful factor in the computation of
                 the Fund's net income. Dividends are paid monthly and are
                 reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset
                 value or, at the shareholder's option, paid in cash. Net
                 realized long-term capital gains, if any, will be paid not
                 less frequently than annually and reinvested in additional
                 shares of the Fund at net asset value unless the shareholder
                 has elected to receive capital gains in cash. The Fund does
                 not anticipate realizing any significant long-term capital
                 gains or losses.
 
                 SUITABILITY
                 The Fund is designed as a convenient means for institutional
                 investors with temporary cash balances who seek to obtain
                 income exempt from federal income taxes. Although the Fund is
                 primarily designed for banks and trust companies seeking tax-
                 free investment of short-term funds held in accounts for
                 which the bank or trust company acts in a fiduciary,
                 advisory, agency, custodial or similar capacity, the Fund is
                 equally appropriate for the tax-free investment of short-term
                 funds held by corporations, insurance companies, investment
                 counselors, law firms, investment bankers, brokers,
                 individuals and others.
                  Because plans qualified under Section 401 of the Internal
                 Revenue Code or other persons exempt from federal income tax
                 will be unable to benefit from the tax-exempt nature of the
                 Fund's dividends, the Fund is not generally suitable for such
                 plans or persons.

                 HOW TO BUY FUND SHARES
In General       Investors may purchase Fund shares on Business Days (as
                 defined under "Net Asset Value") at the net asset value which
                 is next computed after receipt of a proper purchase order and
                 receipt of payment in federal funds. There are no sales
                 charges.
   
Purchase by Telephone     
                    
                 To purchase shares of the Fund, first open an account by
                 calling Nuveen on any Business Day at 800.858.4084.
                 Information needed to establish the account will be taken
                 over the telephone. An application form should be completed
                 promptly and mailed to the Fund. Federal funds should be
                 wired to:     
 
                 United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.
                 ABA #101000695
                 Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
                 Account No. ______________________________________ (see above)
                 Account Name: ________________________________________________
 
                 The investor will be required to complete an application and
                 mail it to the Fund after making the initial telephone
                 purchase. Subsequent investments may be made by following the
                 same wire transfer procedure.
                  If an order is received by Nuveen by 12:00 noon, eastern
                 time, and federal funds are received by United Missouri Bank
                 of Kansas City, N.A. on the same day, the order is effective
                 that day. Federal funds should be wired as early as possible,
                 but no later than 3:00 p.m. eastern time, to facilitate
                 crediting to the shareholder's account on that day.
   
Purchase by Mail     
                    
                 Complete an application form and mail it with a check or
                 Federal Reserve draft to Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund,
                 Inc., c/o Shareholder Services, Inc., P.O. Box 5330, Denver,
                 CO 80217-5330. The order becomes effective as soon as the
                 check or draft is converted to federal funds. This usually
                 occurs one Business Day after receipt, but may take longer.
                     
Commencement ofDividends
                 Shares are deemed to have been purchased and are entitled to
                 dividends commencing on the day the purchase order becomes
                 effective.
 
Minimum Investment
                 The minimum initial investment is $25,000; subsequent
                 investments must be in amounts of $500 or more. Institutions
                 are encouraged to open single master accounts. If, however,
                 an institution wishes to use the Fund's transfer agent's sub-
                 accounting system, these sub-accounts may be aggregated for
                 the purpose of meeting the minimum investment.

Additional Information
                    
                 As transfer agent for the Fund, Shareholder Services, Inc.
                 ("SSI") maintains an account for each shareholder of record.
                 In the interest of economy and convenience, share
                 certificates are not issued unless specifically requested by
                 writing the Fund. No certificates are issued for fractional
                 shares.     
                  Confirmations of each purchase and redemption order as well
                 as monthly statements are sent to every shareholder. Master
                 accounts also receive a monthly summary report setting forth
                 the share balance and dividends earned for the month for each
                 sub-account established under that master account.
                  To assist those institutions performing their own sub-
                 accounting, same day information as to the Fund's daily per
                 share income to seven decimal places and the one-day yield to
                 four decimal places are normally available by 3:30 p.m.,
                 eastern time.
                  Banks and other organizations through which investors may
                 purchase shares of the Fund may impose charges in connection
                 with purchase orders. Investors should contact their
                 institutions directly to determine what charges, if any, may
                 be imposed.
                  Subject to the rules of the SEC, the Fund reserves the right
                 to suspend the continuous offering of the shares at any time,
                 but such suspension shall not affect the shareholder's right
                 of redemption as described below. The Fund also reserves the
                 right to reject any purchase order and to waive or increase
                 minimum investment requirements.
 
                 HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES
In General       Upon receipt of a proper redemption request on a Business Day
                 the Fund will redeem its shares at their next determined net
                 asset value. The Fund reserves the right not to honor
                 redemption requests where the shares to be redeemed have been
                 purchased by check within 15 days prior to the date the
                 redemption request is received. There is no delay when shares
                 being redeemed were purchased by wiring federal funds and
                 thus purchase by this method is strongly recommended.
 
Telephone Redemption
                    
                 Redemption requests may be made by calling Nuveen at
                 800.858.4084. Shareholders wishing to redeem by telephone
                 must have elected this option on an account application form
                 and have returned the form to Nuveen before telephone
                 redemption requests can be accepted. If a redemption request
                 is received by Nuveen by 12:00 noon, eastern time, the
                 proceeds are ordinarily wired on the same day to the
                 commercial bank account designated on the shareholder's
                 application form. The shares redeemed do not earn income on
                 the day the proceeds are wired. If the redemption request is
                 received by Nuveen after 12:00 noon, eastern time, the shares
                 to be redeemed earn income on the day the request is received
                 and proceeds are ordinarily wired the next Business Day. The
                 Fund reserves the right to charge a fee of approximately $5
                 for the cost of wire transferred redemptions of less than
                 $5,000.     
 
                                         15
<PAGE>
 
 
                 The amount and terms of this fee are subject to change.
                 Telephone redemption is not available to redeem shares for
                 which share certificates have been issued.
                  Proceeds of telephone redemption of shares will be
                 transferred by Federal Reserve wire only to the commercial
                 bank account specified on the shareholder's application form.
                 In order to establish multiple accounts, or to change the
                 account or accounts designated to receive wire redemption
                 proceeds, a written request specifying the change must be
                 sent to Nuveen. This request must be signed by each
                 shareholder with each signature guaranteed by a member of an
                 approved Medallion Guarantee Program, or in such other manner
                 as may be acceptable to the Fund. Further documentation may
                 be required from corporations, executors, trustees or
                 personal representatives.
                    
                  The Fund reserves the right to refuse a telephone redemption
                 and, at its option, may limit the timing, amount or frequency
                 of these redemptions. This procedure may be modified or
                 terminated at any time, on 30 days' notice, by the Fund. The
                 Fund, SSI and Nuveen will not be liable for following
                 telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine. The
                 Fund employs procedures reasonably designed to confirm that
                 telephone instructions are genuine. These procedures include
                 recording all telephone instructions and requiring up to
                 three forms of identification prior to acting upon a caller's
                 instructions. If the Fund does not follow reasonable
                 procedures for protecting shareholders against loss on
                 telephone transactions, it may be liable for any losses due
                 to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.     
 
Written Redemption
                    
                 Shareholders may redeem their shares by sending a written
                 request for redemption directly to the Fund, accompanied by
                 duly endorsed certificates, if issued. Requests for
                 redemption and share certificates, if issued, must be signed
                 by each shareholder and, if the redemption proceeds exceed
                 $25,000 or are payable other than to the shareholder of
                 record at the address of record (which address may not have
                 been changed in the preceding 60 days), the signatures must
                 be guaranteed by a member of an approved Medallion Guarantee
                 Program, or in such other manner as may be acceptable to the
                 Fund. Under normal circumstances payment will be made by
                 check and mailed within one Business Day (and in no event
                 more than seven days) after receipt of a redemption request
                 in proper form.     
 
Redemption in Kind
                 The Fund has committed to pay in cash all redemption requests
                 made by each shareholder during any 90 day period up to the
                 lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Fund
                 at the beginning of such period. This commitment is
                 irrevocable without the prior approval of the SEC and is a
                 fundamental policy of the Fund which may not be changed
                 without shareholder approval. In the case of redemption
                 requests in excess of such amounts, the Board of Directors
                 reserves the
 
                                         16

                 right to have the Fund make payment in whole or in part in
                 securities or other assets of the Fund in case of an
                 emergency or any time a cash distribution would impair the
                 liquidity of the Fund to the detriment of the existing
                 shareholders. In this event, the securities would be valued
                 in the same manner as the portfolio of the Fund is valued. If
                 the recipient were to sell such securities, he or she would
                 incur brokerage charges.
 
Other Practices  The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or delay payment
                 more than seven days (a) during any period when the New York
                 Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
                 holiday closings), (b) when trading in the markets the Fund
                 normally utilizes is restricted, or an emergency exists as
                 determined by the SEC so that disposal of the Fund's
                 investments or determination of its net asset value is not
                 reasonably practicable, or (c) for such other periods as the
                 SEC by order may permit for protection of the shareholders of
                 the Fund.
                  The Fund reserves the right to redeem any account with a
                 balance of $5,000 or less. Shareholders will be notified that
                 the value of their account is less than $5,000 and will be
                 allowed 60 days to make additional share purchases before the
                 redemption is processed.
                  Banks and other organizations through which investors may
                 redeem shares of the Fund may impose charges for redemption.
                 Shareholders should contact such institutions directly
                 regarding any such charges.
 
                 TAXES
Federal Income TaxMatters
                    
                 The Fund intends to qualify, as it has in prior years, under
                 Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
                 (the "Code"), for tax treatment as a regulated investment
                 company. In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated
                 investment company, the Fund must satisfy certain
                 requirements relating to the sources of its income,
                 diversification of its assets and distribution of its income
                 to shareholders. As a regulated investment company, the Fund
                 will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of
                 its net investment income and net realized capital gains that
                 is currently distributed to shareholders. The fund also
                 intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest
                 income from Municipal Obligations that is exempt from federal
                 income tax in the hands of the Fund, to retain such tax-
                 exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the
                 Fund. Distributions of interest income on Municipal
                 Obligations may not be exempt from state or local income
                 taxes.     
                    
                  Distributions by the Fund of net interest income received,
                 if any, from temporary investments and net short-term capital
                 gains, if any, realized by the Fund, will be taxable to
                 shareholders as ordinary income. As long as the Fund
                 qualifies as a regulated investment company under the Code,
                 distributions to shareholders will     
 
                                         17
<PAGE>
 
                    
                 not qualify for the dividends received deduction for
                 corporations. If in any year the Fund should fail to qualify
                 under Subchapter M for tax treatment as a regulated
                 investment company, the Fund would incur a regular corporate
                 federal income tax upon its taxable income for that year, and
                 the entire amount of distributions to shareholders would be
                 taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.     
                    
                  The Code provides that interest on indebtedness incurred or
                 continued to purchase or carry tax-free investments, such as
                 shares of the Fund, is not deductible. Under rules used by
                 the Internal Revenue Service for determining when borrowed
                 funds are considered used for the purpose of purchasing or
                 carrying particular assets, the purchase of shares may be
                 considered to have been made with borrowed funds even though
                 such funds are not directly traceable to the purchase of
                 shares.     
                           
                  Tax-exempt income is taken into account in calculating the
                 amount of social security and railroad retirement benefits
                 that may be subject to federal income tax.     
                  The Fund may invest in the type of private activity bonds
                 the interest on which is not federally tax-exempt to persons
                 who are "substantial users" of the facilities financed by
                 such bonds or who are "related persons" of such substantial
                 users. Accordingly, the Fund may not be an appropriate
                 investment for shareholders who are considered either a
                 "substantial user" or a "related person" thereof. Such
                 persons should consult their tax advisers before investing in
                 the Fund.
                    
                  The Fund may invest in private activity bonds, the interest
                 on which is a specific item of tax preference for purposes of
                 computing the alternative minimum tax on corporations and
                 individuals. This type of private activity bond includes most
                 industrial and housing revenue bonds. Shareholders whose tax
                 liability is determined under the alternative minimum tax
                 will be taxed on their share of the Fund's exempt-interest
                 dividends that were paid from income earned on these bonds.
                 In addition, the alternative minimum taxable income for
                 corporations is increased by 75% of the difference between an
                 alternative measure of income ("adjusted current earnings")
                 and the amount otherwise determined to be alternative minimum
                 taxable income. Interest on all Municipal Obligations, and
                 therefore all distributions by the Fund that would otherwise
                 be tax-exempt, is included in calculating a corporation's
                 adjusted current earnings.     
                  The Fund is required in certain circumstances to withhold
                 31% of taxable dividends and certain other payments paid to
                 non-corporate holders of shares who have not furnished to the
                 Fund their correct taxpayer identification number (in the
                 case of individuals, their social security number) and
                 certain certificates, or who are otherwise subject to back-up
                 withholding.
                  The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the
                 provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations presently in
                 effect as they directly govern the taxation of the Fund and
                 its shareholders. These provisions are subject to change by
                 legislative or administrative action, and any such change may
                 be retroactive with respect to
 
                                         18

                 Fund transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult their
                 own tax advisers for more detailed information concerning the
                 federal taxation of the Fund and the federal, state and local
                 tax consequences to its shareholders.
 
State and Local TaxAspects
                 The exemption from federal income tax for distributions of
                 interest income from Municipal Obligations which are
                 designated exempt interest dividends will not necessarily
                 result in exemption under the income or other tax laws of any
                 state or local taxing authority. The laws of the several
                 states and local taxing authorities vary with respect to the
                 taxation of such distributions, and shareholders of the Fund
                 are advised to consult their own tax advisers in that regard.

                                            ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 1995 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS     
                 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
                 Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.:
                    
                 We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of
                 Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. (a Maryland
                 corporation), including the portfolio of investments, as of
                 February 28, 1995, and the related statement of operations
                 for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net
                 assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
                 the financial highlights for the periods indicated thereon.
                 These financial statements and financial highlights are the
                 responsibility of the Fund's 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 generally
                 accepted auditing standards. 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. An audit
                 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
                 amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
                 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
                 February 28, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and
                 brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
                 principles used and significant estimates made by management,
                 as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
                 presentation. 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 net assets of Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market
                 Fund, Inc. as of February 28, 1995, the results of its
                 operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
                 assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
                 the financial highlights for the periods indicated thereon in
                 conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NUVEEN TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.     
                 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                 The Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is
                 registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
                 open-end, diversified management investment company. The
                 following is a summary of significant accounting policies
                 followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
                 statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
                 principles.
 
Securities Valuation
                    
                 Investments consist of short-term municipal securities
                 maturing within one year from the date of acquisition.
                 Securities with a maturity of more than one year in all cases
                 have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as
                 short-term securities and are traded and valued at amortized
                 cost. On a dollar-weighted basis, the average maturity of all
                 such securities must be 90 days or less (at February 28,
                 1995, the dollar-weighted average life was 37 days).     
 
Securities Transactions
                 Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
                 Realized gains and losses from such transactions are
                 determined on the specific identification method. Securities
                 purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
                 may be settled a month or more after the transaction date.
                 The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
                 during this period. The Fund has instructed the custodian to
                 segregate assets in a separate account with a current value
                 at least equal to the amount of its purchase commitments. At
                 February 28, 1995, there were no such purchase commitments.
 
Interest Income  Interest income is determined on the basis of interest
                 accrued, adjusted for premium amortized and discount earned.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
                 Net investment income, adjusted for realized short-term gains
                 and losses on investment transactions, is declared as a
                 dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of each
                 business day and payment is made or reinvestment is credited
                 to shareholder accounts after month-end.
 
Federal Income Taxes
                 The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the
                 Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
                 companies by distributing all of its income including any net
                 realized gains from investments, to shareholders. Therefore,
                 no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, the
                 Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest
                 from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular
                 federal income tax, to retain such tax exempt status when
                 distributed to shareholders. All income dividends paid during
                 the year ended February 28, 1995, have been designated Exempt
                 Interest Dividends.
 
Insurance Commitments
                 The Fund has obtained commitments (each a "Commitment") from
                 Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation ("MBIA") with
                 respect to certain designated bonds held by the Fund for
                 which credit support is furnished by banks ("Approved Banks")
                 approved by MBIA under its established credit approval
                 standards. Under the terms of a Commitment, if the Fund were
                 to determine that certain adverse circumstances relating to
                 the financial condition of the Approved Bank had occurred,
                 the Fund could cause MBIA to issue a "while-in-fund"
                 insurance policy covering the underlying bonds; after time
                 and subject to further terms and conditions, the Fund could
                 obtain from MBIA an "insured-to-maturity" insurance policy as
                 to the covered bonds. Each type of insurance policy would
                 insure payment of interest on the bonds and payment of
                 principal at maturity. Although such insurance would not
                 guarantee the market value of the bonds or the value of the
                 Fund's shares, the Fund believes that its ability to obtain
                 insurance for such bonds under such adverse circumstances
                 will enable the Fund to hold or dispose of such bonds at a
                 price at or near their par value.

Derivative Financial Instruments
                    
                 In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
                 (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
                 119 Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and
                 Fair Value of Financial Instruments which prescribes
                 disclosure requirements for transactions in certain
                 derivative financial instruments including futures, forward,
                 swap, and option contracts, and other financial instruments
                 with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are
                 authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may
                 do so in the future, they did not make any such investments
                 during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, other than
                 occasional purchases of high quality synthetic money market
                 securities.     
 
                 2. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
                    
                 Purchases and sales (including maturities) of investment
                 securities during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995,
                 aggregated $4,005,558,706 and $4,202,855,766, respectively.
                     
                  For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments
                 owned at February 28, 1995, was the same as the cost for
                 financial reporting purposes.

                 3. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
                 Under the Fund's investment management agreement with Nuveen
                 Advisory Corp. ("the Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
                 The John Nuveen Company, the Fund pays the Adviser an annual
                 management fee, payable monthly, as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
  AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSET VALUE       MANAGEMENT FEE
  <S>                                 <C>
  For the first $500,000,000            .400 of 1%
  For the next $500,000,000             .375
  For the next $1,000,000,000           .350
  For net assets over $2,000,000,000    .325
</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    
                 The management fee is reduced by, or the Adviser assumes
                 certain Fund expenses in an amount necessary to prevent the
                 Fund's total expenses (including the Adviser's fee, but
                 excluding interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and
                 disposing of portfolio securities and, to the extent
                 permitted, extraordinary expenses) in any fiscal year from
                 exceeding .45 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of
                 the Fund.     
                  The management fee referred to above compensates the Adviser
                 for overall investment advisory and administrative services,
                 and general office facilities. The Fund pays no compensation
                 directly to its directors who are affiliated with the Adviser
                 or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for
                 their services to the Fund from the Adviser.
 
                 4. COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS
                    
                 At February 28, 1995, the Fund had 5 billion shares of $.01
                 par value common stock authorized. Net assets consisted of
                 $759,243,653 capital paid in.

                 5. INVESTMENT COMPOSITION
                 The Fund invests in municipal securities which include
                 general obligation, escrowed and revenue bonds. At February

                 Fund have credit enhancements (letters of credit, guarantees
                 or insurance) issued by third party domestic or foreign banks
                 or other institutions.

                 FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective and certain fundamental policies are described
in the Prospectus. The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not:
 
(1) Invest in securities other than Municipal Obligations and temporary in-
vestments as those terms are defined in the Prospectus;
 
(2) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer,
excluding the United States government, its agencies and instrumentalities;
 
(3) Borrow money, except from banks for temporary or emergency purposes and
not for investment purposes and then only in an amount not exceeding (a) 10%
of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time of borrowing or (b) one-
third of the value of the Fund's total assets including the amount borrowed in
order to meet redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely
disposition of securities. While any such borrowings are outstanding, no net
purchases of investment securities will be made by the Fund. If due to market
fluctuations or other reasons the value of the Fund's assets falls below 300%
of its borrowings, the Fund will reduce its borrowings within 3 business days.
To do this, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time
when it may be disadvantageous to do so;
 
(4) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets, except that, to secure
borrowings permitted by subparagraph (3) above, it may pledge securities hav-
ing a market value at the time of pledge not exceeding 10% of the value of the
Fund's total assets;
 
(5) Issue senior securities as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940
except to the extent such issuance might be involved with respect to
borrowings described under item (3) above;
 
(6) Underwrite any issue of securities, except to the extent that the purchase
of Municipal Obligations in accordance with the Fund's investment objective,
policies, and limitations, may be deemed to be an underwriting;
 
(7) Purchase or sell real estate, but this shall not prevent the Fund from in-
vesting in Municipal Obligations secured by real estate or interests therein;
 
(8) Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts or oil, gas or other
mineral exploration or development programs;
 
(9) Make loans, other than by entering into repurchase agreements and through
the purchase of Municipal Obligations or temporary investments in accordance
with its investment objective, policies and limitations;
 
(10) Make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin, ex-
cept for such short term credits as are necessary for the clearance of trans-
actions;
 
(11) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of unseasoned is-
suers which, together with their predecessors, have been in operation for less
than three years;
 
2
<PAGE>
 
(12) Invest more than 25% of its assets in the securities of issuers in any
single industry; provided, however, that such limitations shall not be applica-
ble to the purchase of Municipal Obligations and obligations issued or guaran-
teed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities;
 
(13) Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer other than the securities
of the Fund if, to the Fund's knowledge, those directors of the Fund, or those
officers and directors of Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("Nuveen Advisory"), who indi-
vidually own beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding securities of
such issuer, together own beneficially more than 5% of such outstanding securi-
ties.
 
For the purpose of applying the limitations set forth in paragraphs (2) and
(11) above, an issuer shall be deemed a separate issuer when its assets and
revenues are separate from other governmental entities and its securities are
backed only by its assets and revenues. Similarly, in the case of a non-govern-
mental user, such as an industrial corporation or a privately owned or operated
hospital, if the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-
governmental user then such non-governmental user would be deemed to be the
sole issuer. Where a security is also backed by the enforceable obligations of
a superior or unrelated governmental entity or other entity it shall be in-
cluded in the computation of securities owned that are issued by such govern-
mental entity or other entity.
 
If, however, a security is guaranteed by a governmental entity or some other
entity (other than a bond insurer), such as a bank guarantee or letter of cred-
it, such a guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate secu-
rity and would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank.
The Fund's present policy, which is not a fundamental policy, is that it will
not hold securities of a single bank, including securities backed by a letter
of credit of such bank, if such holdings would exceed 10% of the total assets
of the Fund.
   
The foregoing fundamental investment policies, together with the Fund's invest-
ment objective, and other fundamental policies, cannot be changed without ap-
proval by holders of a "majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares." As
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, this means the vote of (i) 67%
or more of the shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of
the shares are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the
shares, whichever is less. The foregoing restrictions and limitations will ap-
ply only at the time of purchase of securities and will not be considered vio-
lated unless an excess or deficiency occurs or exists immediately after and as
a result of an acquisition of securities, unless otherwise indicated.     
 
PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
As described in the Prospectus, the Fund invests primarily in a diversified
portfolio of Municipal Obligations consisting of money market instruments is-
sued by governmental authorities. In general, Municipal Obligations include
debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including
construction of a wide range of public facilities. Industrial development bonds
and pollution control bonds that are issued by or on behalf of public authori-
ties to finance various privately-operated facilities are included within the
term Municipal Obligations if the interest paid thereon is exempt from federal
income tax.
 
                                                                               3
<PAGE>
 
The following is a more complete description of certain short-term Municipal
Obligations in which the Fund may invest:
 
Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) are usually general obligations of state and
local governmental issuers which are sold to obtain interim financing for pro-
jects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obli-
gations or bonds. The ability of an issuer to meet its obligations on its BANs
is primarily dependent on the issuer's access to the long-term municipal bond
market and the likelihood that the proceeds of such bond sales will be used to
pay the principal and interest on the BANs.
 
Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) are issued by state and local governments to fi-
nance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally to be
derived from specific future tax revenues. TANs are usually general obliga-
tions of the issuer. A weakness in an issuer's capacity to raise taxes due to,
among other things, a decline in its tax base or a rise in delinquencies,
could adversely affect the issuer's ability to meet its obligations on out-
standing TANs.
 
Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANs) are issued by governments or governmental
bodies with the expectation that future revenues from a designated source will
be used to repay the notes. In general they also constitute general obliga-
tions of the issuer. A decline in the receipt of projected revenues, such as
anticipated revenues from another level of government, could adversely affect
an issuer's ability to meet its obligations on outstanding RANs. In addition,
the possibility that the revenues would, when received, be used to meet other
obligations could affect the ability of the issuer to pay the principal and
interest on RANs.
 
Construction Loan Notes are issued to provide construction financing for spe-
cific projects. Frequently, these notes are redeemed with funds obtained from
the Federal Housing Administration.
 
Bank Notes are notes issued by local governmental bodies and agencies as those
described above to commercial banks as evidence of borrowings. The purposes
for which the notes are issued are varied but they are frequently issued to
meet short-term working capital or capital-project needs. These notes may have
risks similar to the risks associated with TANs and RANs.
 
Variable and Floating Rate Instruments--Certain Municipal Obligations, certain
instruments issued, guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government or its
agencies, and certain debt instruments issued by domestic banks or corpora-
tions, may carry variable or floating rates of interest. Such instruments bear
interest at rates which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in speci-
fied market rates or indices, such as a bank prime rate or tax-exempt money
market index. Variable rate notes are adjusted to current interest rate levels
at certain specified times, such as every 30 days, as set forth in the instru-
ment. A floating rate note adjusts automatically whenever there is a change in
its base interest rate adjustor, e.g., a change in the prime lending rate or
specified interest rate indices. Typically such instruments carry demand fea-
tures permitting the Fund to recover the full principal amount thereof upon
specified notice.
 
One form of variable or floating rate instrument consists of an underlying
fixed rate municipal bond that is subject to a third party demand feature or
"tender option." The holder of the bond would pay a
 
4
<PAGE>
 
"tender fee" to the third party tender option provider, the amount of which
would be periodically adjusted so that the bond/tender option combination would
reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates the par value
of the bond. The bond/tender option combination would therefore be functionally
equivalent to ordinary variable or floating rate obligations as described
above, and the Fund may purchase such obligation subject to certain conditions
specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Fund's right to obtain payment at par on a demand instrument upon demand
could be adversely affected by events occurring between the date the Fund
elects to tender the instrument and the date proceeds are due. Nuveen Advisory
will monitor on an ongoing basis the pricing, quality and liquidity of such in-
struments and will similarly monitor the ability of an obligor under the demand
arrangement, including demand obligors as to instruments supported by bank let-
ters of credit or guarantees, to pay principal and interest on demand. Although
the ultimate maturity of such variable rate obligations may exceed one year,
the Fund will treat the maturity of each variable rate demand obligation, for
purposes of computing its dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity, as the
longer of (i) the notice period required before the Fund is entitled to payment
of the principal amount through demand, or (ii) the period remaining until the
next interest rate adjustment.
 
The Fund may also obtain standby commitments with respect to Municipal Obliga-
tions. Under a standby commitment (often referred to as a put), the party issu-
ing the commitment agrees to purchase at the Fund's option the Municipal Obli-
gation at an agreed-upon price on certain dates or within a specific period.
Since the value of a standby commitment depends in part upon the ability of the
issuing party to meet its purchase obligations thereunder, the Fund will enter
into standby commitments only with parties which have been evaluated by Nuveen
Advisory and, in the opinion of Nuveen Advisory, present minimal credit risks.
 
The amount payable to the Fund upon its exercise of a standby commitment would
be (1) the acquisition cost of the Municipal Obligations (excluding any accrued
interest that the Fund paid on acquisition), less any amortized market premium
or plus any amortized market or original issue discount during the period the
Fund owned the security, plus (2) all interest accrued on the security since
the last interest payment date during the period the security was owned by the
Fund. The Fund's right to exercise standby commitments held by it will be un-
conditional and unqualified. The acquisition of a standby commitment will not
affect the valuation of the underlying security, which will continue to be val-
ued in accordance with the amortized cost method. The standby commitment itself
will be valued at zero in determining net asset value. The Fund may purchase
standby commitments for cash or pay a higher price for portfolio securities
which are acquired subject to such a commitment (thus reducing the yield to ma-
turity otherwise available for the same securities). The maturity of a Munici-
pal Obligation purchased by the Fund will not be considered shortened by any
standby commitment to which such security is subject. Although the Fund's
rights under a standby commitment would not be transferable, the Fund could
sell Municipal Obligations which were subject to a standby commitment to a
third party at any time.
 
                                                                               5
<PAGE>
 
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
As described under "Investment Policies of the Portfolio--Municipal Obliga-
tions" in the Prospectus, the Fund may purchase and sell Municipal Obligations
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When-issued and delayed delivery
transactions arise when securities are purchased or sold with payment and de-
livery beyond the regular settlement date. (When-issued transactions normally
settle within 30-45 days.) On such transactions the payment obligation and the
interest rate are fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. The
commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may involve an element of risk because the value of the securities is subject
to market fluctuation, no interest accrues to the purchaser prior to settlement
of the transaction, and at the time of delivery the market value may be less
than cost. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a Municipal
Obligation on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, it will record the
transaction and reflect the amount due and the value of the security in deter-
mining its net asset value. Likewise, at the time the Fund makes the commitment
to sell a Municipal Obligation on a delayed delivery basis, it will record the
transaction and include the proceeds to be received in determining its net as-
set value; accordingly, any fluctuations in the value of the Municipal Obliga-
tion sold pursuant to a delayed delivery commitment are ignored in calculating
net asset value so long as the commitment remains in effect. The Fund will
maintain designated readily marketable assets at least equal in value to com-
mitments to purchase when-issued or delayed delivery securities, such assets to
be segregated by the Custodian specifically for the settlement of such commit-
ments. The Fund will only make commitments to purchase Municipal Obligations on
a when-issued or delayed delivery basis with the intention of actually acquir-
ing the securities, but the Fund reserves the right to sell these securities
before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable. If a when-issued security
is sold before delivery any gain or loss would not be tax-exempt.
 
TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
   
The Prospectus discusses briefly the Fund's ability to invest a portion of its
assets on a temporary basis or for defensive purposes in taxable "temporary in-
vestments." As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund has not invested in and has
no present intention to invest in such temporary investments. In any event,
temporary investments will not exceed 20% of the Fund's assets except when made
for defensive purposes. The Fund will invest only in temporary investments
which, in the opinion of Nuveen Advisory, are of "high grade" quality and have
remaining maturities of one year or less. Temporary investments include obliga-
tions of the United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities; debt
securities of issuers having, at the time of purchase, a quality rating within
the two highest grades by either Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") (Aaa or Aa, or AAA or AA, respectively);
commercial paper rated in the highest grade by either of such rating services
(Prime-1 or A-1, respectively); certificates of deposit of domestic banks with
assets of $1 billion or more; and Municipal Obligations and U.S. government ob-
ligations subject to short-term repurchase agreements.     
 
Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Fund may invest in the following tem-
porary investments:
 
U.S. Government Direct Obligations are issued by the United States Treasury and
include bills, notes, and bonds.
 
6
<PAGE>
 
- --Treasury bills are issued with maturities of up to one year. They are issued
 in bearer form, are sold on a discount basis and are payable at par value at
 maturity.
 
- --Treasury notes are longer-term interest-bearing obligations with original ma-
 turities of one to seven years.
 
- --Treasury bonds are longer-term interest-bearing obligations with original ma-
 turities of five to thirty years.
   
U.S. Government Agencies Securities--Certain federal agencies have been estab-
lished as instrumentalities of the United States government to supervise and
finance certain types of activities. These agencies include, but are not lim-
ited to, the Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association,
Government National Mortgage Association, Export-Import Bank of the United
States and Tennessee Valley Authority. Issues of these agencies, while not di-
rect obligations of the United States government, are either backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States or are guaranteed by the Treasury or sup-
ported by the issuing agencies' right to borrow from the Treasury. There can be
no assurance that the United States government itself will pay interest and
principal on securities as to which it is not so legally obligated.     
 
Certificates of Deposit (CDs)--A certificate of deposit is a negotiable inter-
est-bearing instrument with a specific maturity. CDs are issued by banks in ex-
change for the deposit of funds and normally can be traded in the secondary
market, prior to maturity. The Fund will only invest in U.S. dollar denominated
CDs issued by U.S. banks with assets of $1 billion or more.
 
Commercial Paper--Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured
short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Maturities on these issues
vary from a few days to nine months. Commercial paper may be purchased from
U.S. corporations.
   
Other Corporate Obligations--The Fund may purchase notes, bonds and debentures
issued by corporations if at the time of purchase there is less than 397 days
remaining until maturity or if they carry a variable or floating rate of inter-
est.     
 
Repurchase Agreements--A repurchase agreement is a contractual agreement
whereby the seller of securities (U.S. government or Municipal Obligations)
agrees to repurchase the same security at a specified price on a future date
agreed upon by the parties. The agreed upon repurchase price determines the
yield during the Fund's holding period. Repurchase agreements are considered to
be loans collateralized by the underlying security that is the subject of the
repurchase contract. The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with
dealers, domestic banks or recognized financial institutions that in the opin-
ion of Nuveen Advisory represent minimal credit risk. The risk to the Fund is
limited to the ability of the issuer to pay the agreed upon repurchase price on
the delivery date; however, although the value of the underlying collateral at
the time the transaction is entered into always equals or exceeds the agreed
upon repurchase price, if the value of the collateral declines, there is a risk
of loss of both principal and interest. In the event of default, the collateral
may be sold but the Fund might incur a loss if the value of the collateral de-
clines, and might incur disposition costs or experience

delays in connection with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bank-
ruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
realization upon the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. Nuveen
Advisory will monitor the value of the collateral at the time the transaction
is entered into and at all times subsequent during the term of the repurchase
agreement in an effort to determine that the value always equals or exceeds the
agreed upon repurchase price. In the event the value of the collateral declines
below the repurchase price, Nuveen Advisory will demand additional collateral
from the issuer to increase the value of the collateral to at least that of the
repurchase price.

RATINGS OF INVESTMENTS
The two highest ratings of Moody's for Municipal Obligations are Aaa and Aa.
Municipal Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the "best quality." The
rating of Aa is assigned to Municipal Obligations which are of "high quality by
all standards," but as to which margins of protection or other elements make
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa rated Municipal Obligations.
The Aaa and Aa rated Municipal Obligations comprise what are generally known as
"high grade bonds." Moody's bond rating symbols may contain numerical modifiers
of a generic rating classification. The modifier 1 indicates that the bond
ranks at the high end of its category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range
ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of
its generic rating category.
   
The two highest ratings of S&P for Municipal Obligations are AAA and AA. Munic-
ipal Obligations rated AAA have an extremely strong capacity to pay principal
and interest. The rating of AA indicates that capacity to pay principal and in-
terest is very strong and such bonds differ from AAA issues only in small de-
gree.     
 
The highest rating of Moody's and S&P for federally tax-exempt short-term loans
and notes is VMIG-1 or MIG-1 and SP-1, respectively. Obligations designated
VMIG-1 and MIG-1 are the best quality, enjoying strong protection from estab-
lished cash flows for their servicing or from established and broad-based ac-
cess to the market for refinancing, or both. The designation SP-1 indicates a
very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest.
 
The Fund's ability to purchase commercial paper of tax-exempt and corporate is-
suers is limited to commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P.
The rating Prime-1 (P-1) is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's. Issuers rated P-1 have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term
obligations normally evidenced by the following characteristics: leading market
positions in well-established industries; high rates of return on funds em-
ployed; conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt
and ample asset protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed finan-
cial charges and high internal cash generation; well-established access to a
range of financial markets and assured sources of alternative liquidity. The
designation A-1 indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is
very strong.

visory also administers the Fund's business affairs, provides office facili-
ties and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative serv-
ices, and permits any of its officers or employees to serve without compensa-
tion as directors or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions. See
"Management of the Fund" in the Prospectus.
   
Nuveen Advisory is paid an annual management fee in an amount equal to .4 of
1% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, .375 of 1% of the
next $500 million, .35 of 1% of the next $1 billion, and .325 of 1% of average
daily net assets over $2 billion. The management fee will be reduced or Nuveen
Advisory will assume certain Fund expenses in an amount necessary to prevent
the Fund's total expenses in any fiscal year from exceeding .45 of 1% of the
average daily net asset value of the Fund. The management fee for fiscal years
ended February 28, 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $3,225,810, $4,898,235 and
$6,964,484, respectively. As discussed in the Prospectus, subject to the ex-
pense limitations of the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund is respon-
sible for payment of certain of the costs and expenses of its operations.     
   
Nuveen Advisory is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated
("Nuveen"), the Fund's principal underwriter. Founded in 1898, Nuveen is the
oldest and largest investment banking firm specializing in the underwriting
and distribution of tax-exempt securities and maintains the largest research
department in the investment banking community devoted exclusively to the
analysis of municipal securities. In 1961, Nuveen began sponsoring the Nuveen
Tax-Exempt Unit Trust and since that time has issued more than $34 billion in
tax-exempt unit trusts, including over $12 billion in tax-exempt insured unit
trusts. In addition, the Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds held approxi-
mately $30 billion in tax-exempt securities under management as of the date of
this Statement. Over 1,000,000 individuals have invested to date in Nuveen's
tax-exempt funds and trusts. Nuveen is a subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company
which, in turn, is approximately 75% owned by The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
("St. Paul"). St. Paul is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is principally
engaged in providing property-liability insurance through subsidiaries.     
   
Nuveen Advisory's portfolio managers call upon the resources of Nuveen's Re-
search Department, the largest in the investment banking industry devoted ex-
clusively to tax-exempt securities. Nuveen's Research Department was selected
in 1994 by Research & Ratings Review, a municipal industry publication, as one
of the top four research teams in the municipal industry, based on an exten-
sive industry-wide poll of more than 1,000 portfolio managers, department
heads and bond buyers. The Nuveen Research Department reviews more than $100
billion in tax-exempt bonds every year.     
   
The Fund, the other Nuveen funds, Nuveen Advisory, and other related entities
have adopted a code of ethics which essentially prohibits all Nuveen fund man-
agement personnel, including Nuveen fund portfolio managers, from engaging in
personal investments which compete or interfere with, or attempt to take ad-
vantage of, a Fund's anticipated or actual portfolio transactions, and is de-
signed to assure that the interest of Fund shareholders is placed before the
interest of Nuveen personnel in connection with personal investment transac-
tions.     
 
                                                                             13

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
Nuveen Advisory, in effecting purchases and sales of portfolio securities for
the account of the Fund, will place orders in such manner as, in the opinion of
management, will offer the best price and market for the execution of each
transaction. Portfolio securities will normally be purchased directly from an
underwriter or in the over-the-counter market from the principal dealers in
such securities, unless it appears that a better price or execution may be ob-
tained elsewhere. Portfolio securities will not be purchased from Nuveen or its
affiliates except in compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940.
   
The Fund since its inception has effected all portfolio transactions on a prin-
cipal (as opposed to an agency) basis and, accordingly, has not paid any bro-
kerage commissions. Purchases from underwriters include a commission or conces-
sion paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers include
the spread between the bid and asked price. Given the best price and execution
obtainable, it is the practice of the Fund to select dealers which, in addi-
tion, furnish research information (primarily credit analyses of issuers) and
statistical and other services to Nuveen Advisory. It is not possible to place
a dollar value on information and statistical and other services received from
dealers. Since it is only supplementary to Nuveen Advisory's own research ef-
forts, the receipt of research information is not expected to reduce signifi-
cantly Nuveen Advisory's expenses. Any research benefits obtained are available
to all Nuveen Advisory's other clients. While Nuveen Advisory will be primarily
responsible for the placement of the Fund's business, the policies and prac-
tices of Nuveen Advisory in this regard must be consistent with the foregoing
and will, at all times, be subject to review by the Board of Directors of the
Fund.     
 
Nuveen Advisory reserves the right to, and does, manage other investment ac-
counts and investment companies for other clients which may have investment ob-
jectives similar to the Fund. Subject to applicable laws and regulations,
Nuveen Advisory will attempt to allocate equitably portfolio transactions among
the Fund and the portfolios of its other clients purchasing securities whenever
decisions are made to purchase or sell securities by the Fund and one or more
of such other clients simultaneously. In making such allocations the main fac-
tors to be considered will be the respective investment objectives of the Fund
and such other clients, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or
comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment by the Fund and
such other clients, the size of investment commitments generally held by the
Fund and such other clients and opinions of the persons responsible for recom-
mending investments to the Fund and such other clients.
 
While this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of
the securities available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of
the Fund's Board of Directors that the benefits available from Nuveen
Advisory's organization will outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from ex-
posure to simultaneous transactions.
 
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund may not purchase portfolio
securities from any underwriting syndicate of which Nuveen is a member except
under certain limited conditions set forth in Rule 10f-3. The Rule sets forth
requirements relating to, among other things, the terms of an issue of Munici-
pal Obligations purchased by the Fund, the amount of Municipal Obligations
which may be
 
14
<PAGE>
 
purchased in any one issue and the assets of the Fund which may be invested in
a particular issue. In addition, purchases of securities made pursuant to the
terms of the Rule must be approved at least quarterly by the Board of Directors
of the Fund, including a majority of the members thereof who are not interested
persons of the Fund.
 
                                NET ASSET VALUE
 
As stated in the Prospectus, the net asset value of the shares of the Fund will
be determined by United States Trust Company of New York, the Fund's custodian,
as of 12:00 noon, eastern time, (1) on each day on which the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston is normally open and (2) on any day during which there is suffi-
cient degree of trading in the Fund's portfolio securities that the current net
asset value of the Fund shares might be materially affected by such changes in
the value of the portfolio securities. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is
not open and the Fund will similarly not be open on New Year's Day, Martin Lu-
ther King's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Inde-
pendence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. It is possible that changing circumstances during the year will
result in addition or deletions to the above lists. The net asset value per
share will be computed by dividing the value of the Fund's total assets, less
liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding at such time.
 
                            AMORTIZED COST VALUATION
 
As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund will seek to maintain a net asset value
of $1.00 per share. In this connection, the Fund values its portfolio securi-
ties at their amortized cost, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Com-
mission (the "Commission") under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
1940. This method does not take into account unrealized securities gains or
losses. It involves valuing an instrument at its cost on the date of purchase
and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in
periods during which the value of an investment, as determined by amortized
cost, is higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the
instrument. During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield on
shares of the Fund may tend to be higher than a like computation made by a fund
with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon market
prices and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio instruments.
Thus, if the use of the amortized cost method by the Fund resulted in a lower
aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in the
Fund would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from an
investment in a fund utilizing solely market values, and existing investors in
the Fund would receive less investment income. The converse would apply in a
period of rising interest rates.
   
The Fund, as a condition to the use of amortized cost and the maintenance of
its per share net asset value of $1.00, must maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, only purchase instruments having remain-
ing maturities of 397 days or less, and invest only in securities determined to
be of high quality with minimal credit risks. The Fund may invest in variable
and floating rate instruments even if they carry stated maturities in excess of
397 days, upon certain conditions contained in rules and regulations issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the     
 
                                                                              15

Investment Company Act of 1940, but will do so only if there is a secondary
market for such instruments or if they carry demand features, permissible under
rules of the Commission for money market funds, to recover the full principal
amount thereof upon specified notice at par, or both.
 
The Board of Directors, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, has established procedures de-
signed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per
share as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such pro-
cedures will include review of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the Board of
Directors, at such intervals as it may deem appropriate, to determine whether
the net asset value calculated by using available market quotations or market
equivalents deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost. Market quo-
tations and market equivalents used in such review may be obtained from a pric-
ing agent approved by the Board of Directors. The Board has selected Nuveen Ad-
visory to act as pricing agent, but in the future may select an independent
pricing service to perform this function. In serving as pricing agent, Nuveen
Advisory will follow guidelines adopted by the Board, and the Board will moni-
tor Nuveen Advisory to see that the guidelines are followed. The pricing agent
will value the Fund's investment based on methods which include consideration
of: yield or prices of municipal obligations of comparable quality, coupon, ma-
turity, and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market
conditions. The pricing agent may employ electronic data processing techniques
and/or a matrix system to determine valuations. The extent of any deviation be-
tween the Fund's net asset value based on the pricing agent's market valuation
and $1.00 per share based on amortized cost will be examined by the Board of
Directors. If such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board of Directors will
promptly consider what action, if any, will be initiated. In the event the
Board of Directors determines that a deviation exists which may result in mate-
rial dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, it
has agreed to take such corrective action as it regards as necessary and appro-
priate, including the sale of portfolio instruments prior to maturity to real-
ize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withhold-
ing dividends or payment of distributions from capital or capital gains; re-
demption of shares in kind; or establishing a net asset value per share by us-
ing available market quotations.
 
                                  TAX MATTERS
   
FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS     
   
The following discussion of federal income tax matters is based upon the advice
of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson, Washington, D.C., counsel to the
Fund.     
   
As described in the Prospectus, the Fund intends to qualify, as it has in prior
years, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
(the "Code"), for tax treatment as a regulated investment company. In order to
qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must satisfy certain
requirements relating to the source of its income, diversification of its
assets, and distributions of its income to shareholders. First, the Fund must
derive at least 90% of its annual gross income (including tax-exempt interest)
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from
the sale or other disposition of stock or securities, foreign currencies or
other income (including but not limited to gains from options and futures)
derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock or securities
(the "90% gross income test"). Second, the Fund must derive less     
 
16
<PAGE>
 
   
than 30% of its annual gross income from the sale or other disposition of any
of the following which was held for less then three months: (i) stock or
securities and (ii) certain options, futures, or forward contracts (the "short-
short test"). Third, the Fund must diversify its holdings so that, at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of its total
assets is comprised of cash, cash items, United States Government securities,
securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities limited
in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the
value of the Fund's total assets and to not more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of
the total assets it invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than
United States Government securities and securities of other regulated
investment companies) or two or more issuers controlled by the Fund and engaged
in the same, similar or related trades or businesses.     
   
As a regulated investment company, a fund will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax in any taxable year for which it distributes at least 90% of its
"investment company taxable income" (which includes dividends, taxable inter-
est, taxable original issue discount and market discount income, income from
securities lending, net short-term capital gain in excess of long-term capital
loss, and any other taxable income other than "net capital gain" (as defined
below) and is reduced by deductible expenses) and at least 90% of the excess of
its gross tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions ("net
tax-exempt interest").     
   
The Fund also intends to satisfy conditions (including requirements as to the
proportion of its assets invested in Municipal Obligations) which will enable
it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its
investment in Municipal Obligations, which is exempt from regular federal
income tax when received by the Fund, as Exempt Interest Dividends.
Shareholders receiving Exempt Interest Dividends will not be subject to federal
income tax on the amount of such dividends.     
   
Distributions by the Fund of net interest income received from certain taxable
temporary investments (such as certificates of deposit, commercial paper and
obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities) and net short-term capital gains realized by the Fund, if
any, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income whether received in
cash or additional shares. If the Fund purchases a Municipal Obligation at a
market discount, any gain realized by the Fund upon the sale or redemption of
the Municipal Obligation will be treated as taxable interest income to the
extent such gain does not exceed the market discount, and any gain realized in
excess of the market discount will be treated as capital gains. Any net long-
term capital gains realized by the Fund and distributed to shareholders in cash
or in additional shares will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital
gains regardless of the length of time investors have owned shares of the Fund.
The Fund does not expect to realize significant long-term capital gains.
Because the taxable portion of the Fund's investment income consists primarily
of interest, none of its dividends, whether or not treated as exempt-interest
dividends, is expected to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code for the
dividends received deductions for corporations.     
   
If the Fund has both tax-exempt and taxable interest income, it will use the
"actual earned method" for determining the designated percentage that is tax-
able income and designate the use of such method within 60 days after the end
of the Fund's taxable year. Under this method the ratio of (a) taxable     
 
                                                                              17
<PAGE>
 
   
income earned during the period for which a distribution was made, to (b) to-
tal income earned during the period, determines the percentage of the distri-
bution designated taxable. The percentage of income, if any, designated as
taxable under this method will vary from distribution to distribution.     
       
       
Although dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, divi-
dends declared in October, November or December, payable to shareholders of
record on a specified date in one of those months and paid during the follow-
ing January, will be treated as having been distributed by the Fund (and re-
ceived by the shareholders) on December 31.
   
The redemption or exchange of the shares of the Fund is not expected to result
in capital gain or loss to the shareholders because the Fund's net asset value
is expected to remain constant at $1.00 per share. To the extent that the
Fund's net asset value is greater or lesser than $1.00 per share, redemptions
or exchanges may result in capital gain or loss to the shareholder.     
   
In order to avoid a 4% federal excise tax, the Fund must distribute or be
deemed to have distributed by December 31 of each calendar year at least 98%
of its taxable ordinary income for such year, at least 98% of the excess of
its realized capital gains over its realized capital losses (generally com-
puted on the basis of the one-year period ending on October 31 of such year)
and 100% of any taxable ordinary income and the excess of realized capital
gains over realized capital losses for the prior year that was not distributed
during such year and on which the Fund paid no federal income tax. The Fund
intends to make timely distributions in compliance with these requirements and
consequently it is anticipated that it generally will not be required to pay
the excise tax.     
 
If in any year the Fund should fail to qualify under Subchapter M for tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, the Fund would incur a regular
corporate federal income tax upon its income for that year, other than inter-
est income from Municipal Obligations, and distributions to its shareholders
out of net interest income from Municipal Obligations or other investments, or
out of net capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary divi-
dend income for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Fund's avail-
able earnings and profits.
 
Among the requirements that the Fund must meet in order to qualify under
Subchapter M in any year is that less than 30% of its gross income must be de-
rived from the sale or other disposition of securities held for less than
three months.
          
As stated in the Prospectus under "Taxes," the Fund may invest in the type of
private activity bonds, the interest on which is not federally tax-exempt to
persons who are "substantial users" of the facilities financed by such bonds
or "related persons" of such "substantial users." Accordingly, the Fund may
not be an appropriate investment for shareholders who are considered either a
"substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning of the Code. In
general, a "substantial user" of a facility financed from the proceeds of pri-
vate activity bonds includes a "non-exempt person who regularly uses a part of
such facility in his trade or business." "Related persons" are in general de-
fined to include persons among whom there exists a relationship, either by
family or business, which would result in a disallowance of losses in transac-
tions among them under various provisions of the Code (or if they are members
of the same controlled group of corporations under the Code). For certain pri-
vate activity bonds, this     
 
18
<PAGE>
 
includes a partnership and each of its partners (including their spouses and
minor children) and an S corporation and each of its shareholders (and their
spouses and minor children). Various combinations of these relationships may
also constitute "related persons" under the Code. The foregoing is not a com-
plete statement of all of the provisions of the Code covering the definitions
of "substantial user" and "related person." For additional information, invest-
ors should consult their tax advisers before investing in the Fund.
   
Federal tax law imposes an alternative minimum tax with respect to both corpo-
rations and individuals. Interest on certain Municipal Obligations, such as
bonds issued to make loans for housing purposes or to private entities (but not
for certain tax-exempt organizations such as universities and non-profit hospi-
tals), is included as an item of tax preference in determining the amount of a
taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income. To the extent that the Fund re-
ceives income from Municipal Obligations subject to the alternative minimum
tax, a portion of the dividends paid by it, although otherwise exempt from fed-
eral income tax, will be taxable to shareholders to the extent that their tax
liability is determined under the alternative minimum tax regime. The Fund will
annually supply shareholders with a report indicating the percentage of Fund
income attributable to Municipal Obligations subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax.     
   
In addition, the alternative minimum taxable income for corporations is in-
creased by 75% of the difference between an alternative measure of income ("ad-
justed current earnings") and the amount otherwise determined to be the alter-
native minimum taxable income. Interest on all Municipal Obligations, and
therefore all distributions by the Fund that would otherwise be tax-exempt, is
included in calculating the alternative measures of a corporation's taxable in-
come.     
   
Individuals whose "modified income" exceeds a base amount will be subject to
Federal income tax on up to one-half of their social security or railroad re-
tirement benefits. Modified income currently includes adjusted gross income,
one-half of social security benefits and tax-exempt interest, including exempt-
interest dividends from the Fund. Individuals whose modified income exceeds
certain base amounts are required to include in gross income up to 85% of their
social security benefits.     
   
The Code provides that interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to pur-
chase or carry shares of the Fund is not deductible. Under rules used by the
IRS for determining when borrowed funds are considered used for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying particular assets, the purchase of shares of a Fund may
be considered to have been made with borrowed funds even though such funds are
not directly traceable to the purchase of shares.     
 
The Fund is required in certain circumstances to withhold 31% of taxable divi-
dends and certain other payments paid to non-corporate holders of shares who
have not furnished to the Fund their correct taxpayer identification number (in
the case of individuals, their social security number) and certain certifi-
cates, or who are otherwise subject to back-up withholding.
 
The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the provisions of the
Code and Treasury Regulations presently in effect as they directly govern the
taxation of the Fund and its shareholders.
For complete provisions, reference should be made to the pertinent Code sec-
tions and Treasury
 
                                                                              19

Regulations. The Code and Treasury Regulations are subject to change by legis-
lative or administrative action, and any such change may be retroactive with
respect to Fund transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers for more detailed information concerning the federal taxation of the
Fund and the income tax consequences to its shareholders.
 
State and Local Tax Aspects. The exemption from federal income tax for distri-
butions of interest income from Municipal Obligations which are designated ex-
empt interest dividends will not necessarily result in exemption under the in-
come or other tax laws of any state or local taxing authority. The laws of the
several states and local taxing authorities vary with respect to the taxation
of such distributions, and shareholders of the Fund are advised to consult
their own tax advisers in that regard.

                     PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AND DISTRIBUTOR
 
Nuveen acts as the principal underwriter or distributor of Fund shares. Shares
of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis at net asset value without a
sales charge. Nuveen has agreed to pay sales and promotion expenses in connec-
tion with the offering of Fund shares, including the cost of printing and dis-
tributing prospectuses (except expenses of preparing, printing and distributing
prospectuses to existing shareholders and governmental agencies) and advertis-
ing and sales literature expense. Expenses incurred in registering the Fund and
its shares under federal and state securities laws will be paid by the Fund.
 
                               YIELD INFORMATION
   
As explained in the Prospectus, the historical performance of the Fund may be
expressed in terms of "yield" or "effective yield." The Fund's yield and effec-
tive yield for the seven-day period ended February 28, 1995 were 3.54% and
3.60%, respectively. These measures of performance are described below.     
 
Yield is computed in accordance with a standard method prescribed by rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under that method, current yield is
based on a seven-day period and is computed as follows: the Fund's net invest-
ment income per share for the period is divided by the price per share (ex-
pected to remain constant at $1.00) at the beginning of the period, the result
(the "base period return") is divided by 7 and multiplied by 365, and the re-
sulting figure is carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent. For the pur-
pose of this calculation, the Fund's net investment income per share includes
its accrued interest income plus or minus amortized purchase discount or pre-
mium less accrued expenses, but does not include realized capital gains or
losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
 
 
20
<PAGE>
 
   
The Fund's effective yield is calculated by taking the base period return (com-
puted as described above) and calculating the effect of assumed compounding.
The formula for effective yield is: (base period return + 1)/3//6//5///7/-1.
    
The Fund's yield will fluctuate, and the publication of annualized yield quota-
tions is not a representation of what an investment in the Fund will actually
yield for any given future period. Actual yields will depend not only on
changes in interest rates on money market instruments during the period in
question, but also on such matters as the Fund's expenses.
 
In reports or other communications to shareholders or in advertising and sales
literature, the Fund may compare its performance to that of other money market
mutual funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), by
Donoghue's Money Fund Report ("Donoghue's") or similar services or by financial
publications such as Barron's, Changing Times, Forbes and Money Magazine. Per-
formance comparisons by these indexes, services or publications may rank mutual
funds over different periods of time by means of aggregate, average, year-by-
year or other types of performance figures. Lipper ranks mutual funds by over-
all performance, investment objectives, and assets and assumes the reinvestment
of dividends for the period covered. Donoghue's ranks investment results ac-
cording to total return (annualized results net of management fees and ex-
penses) and presents one year results as effective annual yields assuming rein-
vestment of dividends. Any given performance quotation or performance compari-
son should not be considered as representative of the Fund's performance for
any future period.
 
A comparison of tax-exempt and taxable equivalent yields is one element to con-
sider in making an investment decision. The Fund may from time to time in its
advertising and sales materials compare its then current yields as of a recent
date with the yields on taxable investments such as corporate or U.S. Govern-
ment bonds and bank CDs or money market accounts, each of which has investment
characteristics that may differ from those of the Fund. U.S. Government bonds,
for example, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government,
and bank CDs and money market accounts are insured by an agency of the federal
government.

"Providing secure
income remains
our top priority"
 
The objective of the Nuveen Tax-Free Money Market Funds is to provide as high a
level of current tax-free income as is consistent with stability of principal
and the maintenance of liquidity. It is a pleasure to report that for the year
ended February 28, 1995, Nuveen's Tax-Free Money Market Funds met their
objectives, providing yields that compared favorably with those available from
both tax-exempt and taxable short-term alternatives.
  The 7-day annualized yield for the funds covered in this report ranged from
3.33% to 3.51% on February 28. To equal these yields, an investor in the 36%
federal income tax bracket would need to earn at least 5.20% on taxable
alternatives.
  Since February 1994, the Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates seven
times to fend off future inflation. As a result, the funds' yields increased
more than 70% over the course of the year. In this environment, we continue to
look for opportunities to capture attractive yields in different market sectors
and over many types of municipal securities, including tax-free variable rate
demand notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes, commercial paper, and selected
certificates of participation. The benefits of this type of diversification
combine with share

price stability, daily liquidity, and investment convenience to make Nuveen Tax-
Free Money Market Funds some of the best vehicles conservative, tax-conscious
investors can find for their short-term funds.
 Our approach to investing has provided more than one million Nuveen investors
with the tax-free income they need to help realize their dreams and goals and to
improve the quality of their lives year after year. We are confident that it
will continue to do so in the future.
 We appreciate your trust in our family of funds, and we look forward to helping
you meet your tax-free investment objectives in the future.


Sincerely,

Answering your 
questions


We spoke recently with Tom
Spalding, head of Nuveen's portfo-
lio management team, and asked
him about developments in the
municipal market and the outlook 
for Nuveen's tax-free funds.


How did the Federal 
Reserve Board's moves
to raise short-term
interest rates affect
the performance of
the funds?
 
The Fed's moves certainly affected our money market funds' performance over the
past year. Yields have moved up significantly, which is good news for income-
oriented investors.
  By raising short-term interest rates aggressively in recent months, the
Federal Reserve has demonstrated its commitment to fighting inflation, which
should be good news for all municipal investors. As long as inflation-the
primary factor affecting investment values-remains under control, the
fundamentals for strong municipal performance are in place.

Tom Spalding, head 
of Nuveen's portfolio 
management team, 
answers investors' 
questions on develop-
ments in the 
municipal market.


A number of fund
managers have
encountered problems
recently related to
the use of derivative
securities. Do you use
derivatives in your 
portfolios?

 
Over the last year, participants in the financial services industry, including
securities dealers, underwriters and investment advisers, received much
attention in the press relating to the use of certain types of derivative
financial instruments in the management of portfolios, including those of mutual
funds. There are many different types of derivative investments available in the
market today, including those derivatives whose market values respond to
interest rate changes with greater volatility than do others. In general,
derivatives used to speculate on the future course of interest rates pose the
greatest risk, while derivatives used for hedging purposes present less risk
and, if used properly, can often reduce the probability of loss (while
sacrificing upside potential). Synthetic money market securities generally
present no greater risk to investors than ordinary money market securities.
 Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and
may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, other than a limited amount of synthetic
money market securities.

                                NUVEEN TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                               FEBRUARY 28, 1995
                 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                 At February 28, 1995, the money market Funds (the "Funds")
                 covered in this report are Nuveen Tax-Free Reserves, Inc., a
                 nationally diversified Fund, Nuveen California Tax-Free Fund,
                 Inc. (comprised of the Nuveen California Tax-Free Money
                 Market Fund) and Nuveen Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Inc.
                 (comprised of the Nuveen Massachusetts and New York Tax-Free
                 Money Market Funds).
                  The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of
                 1940 as open-end, diversified management investment
                 companies.
                  Each Fund invests in tax-exempt money market instruments.
                 Shares of the state Funds are issued in three series: (1) the
                 "Service Plan" series intended for purchase by or through
                 banks and other organizations who have agreed to perform
                 certain services for their customers who are shareholders of
                 this series of the Fund, (2) the "Distribution Plan" series
                 intended for purchase by or through securities dealers who
                 have agreed to perform distribution and administrative
                 services for their customers who are shareholders of this
                 series of the Fund and (3) the "Institutional" series
                 intended for purchase by trustees, bank trust departments and
                 investment bankers or advisers.
                  Each Fund issues its own shares, at net asset value which
                 the Fund will seek to maintain at $1.00 per share without
                 sales charge.
                  The following is a summary of significant accounting
                 policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their
                 financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
                 accounting principles.
 
Securities       Investments in each of the Funds consist of short-term
Valuation        municipal securities maturing within one year from the date
                 of acquisition. Securities with a maturity of more than one
                 year in all cases have variable rate and demand features
                 qualifying them as short-term securities and are traded and
                 valued at amortized costs. On a dollar-weighted basis, the
                 average maturity of all such securities must be 90 days or
                 less (at February 28, 1995, the dollar-weighted average life
                 was 29 days for Reserves, 36 days for California Money
                 Market, 41 days for Massachusetts Money Market and 30 days
                 for New York Money Market).
 
Securities       Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
Transactions     Realized gains and losses from such transactions are
                 determined on the specific identification method. Securities
                 purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
                 may be settled a month or more after the transaction date.
                 The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
                 during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
                 to segregate assets in a separate account with a current
                 value at least equal
 
                                         33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                 to the amount of their purchase commitments. At February 28,
                 1995, there were no such purchase commitments in any of the
                 Funds.
 
Interest Income  Interest income is determined on the basis of interest
                 accrued, adjusted for premium amortized and discount earned.
 
Dividends and    Net investment income, adjusted for realized short-term gains
Distributions    and losses on investment transactions, is declared as a
to Shareholders  dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of each
                 business day and payment is made or reinvestment is credited
                 to shareholder accounts after month-end.
 
Federal Income   Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax
Taxes            purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the
                 Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
                 companies by distributing all of its income to shareholders.
                 Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
                 Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which
                 will enable interest from municipal securities, which is
                 exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes
                 for the California, Massachusetts and New York Money Market
                 Funds, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to
                 the shareholders of the Funds. All income dividends paid
                 during the year ended February 28, 1995, have been designated
                 Exempt Interest Dividends.
 
Insurance        The Funds have obtained commitments (each, a "Commitment")
Commitments      from Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation ("MBIA")
                 with respect to certain designated bonds held by the Funds
                 for which credit support is furnished by banks ("Approved
                 Banks") approved by MBIA under its established credit
                 approval standards. Under the terms of a Commitment, if a
                 Fund were to determine that certain adverse circumstances
                 relating to the financial condition of an Approved Bank had
                 occurred, the Fund could cause MBIA to issue a "while-in-
                 fund" insurance policy covering the underlying bonds; after
                 time and subject to further terms and conditions, the Fund
                 could obtain from MBIA an "insured-to-maturity" insurance
                 policy as to the covered bonds. Each type of insurance policy
                 would insure payment of interest on the bonds and payment of
                 principal at maturity. Although such insurance would not
                 guarantee the market value of the bonds or the value of the
                 Funds' shares, the Funds believe that their ability to obtain
                 insurance for such bonds under such adverse circumstances

                 4. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
                 Under the Funds' investment management agreements with Nuveen
                 Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
                 The John Nuveen Company, each Fund pays to the Adviser an
                 annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set
                 forth below which are based upon the average daily net asset
                 value of each Fund:

                  Also, pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Funds,
                 Nuveen is the distributor or principal underwriter of Fund
                 shares and pays sales and promotion expenses in connection
                 with the offering of Fund shares. The Funds have adopted a
                 Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
                 Company Act of 1940 and a Service Plan pursuant to which the
                 Funds and Nuveen pay, in equal amounts, fees to securities
                 dealers and service organizations for services rendered in
                 the distribution of shares of the Funds or the servicing of
                 shareholder accounts. For Reserves, total service payments to
                 such securities dealers and organizations on an annualized
                 basis range from .1 of 1% to .2 of 1% of the average daily
                 net asset value of serviced accounts up to $10 million and .3
                 of 1% for such assets over $10 million. For the California,
                 Massachusetts and New York Money Market Funds, total service
                 payments to such securities dealers and organizations are .25
                 of 1% per year of the average daily net asset value of
                 serviced accounts.
                  The management fee referred to above is reduced by, or the
                 Adviser assumes certain expenses of each Fund, in an amount
                 necessary to prevent the total expenses of each Fund
                 (including the management fee and each Fund's share of
                 service payments under the Distribution and Service Plans,
                 but excluding interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and
                 disposing of portfolio securities and, to the extent
                 permitted, extraordinary expenses) in any fiscal year from
                 exceeding .75 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of
                 Reserves, and .55 of 1% of the average daily net asset value
                 of the California, Massachusetts and New York Money Market
                 Funds.

                  The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall
                 investment advisory and administrative services, and general
                 office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to
                 their directors who are affiliated with the Adviser or to
                 their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
                 services to the Funds from the Adviser.
 
                 5. INVESTMENT COMPOSITION
                 Each Fund invests in municipal securities which include

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
                 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
                 Nuveen Tax-Free Reserves,
                 Nuveen California Tax-Free Fund, Inc.,
                 Nuveen Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Inc.:
 
                 We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of
                 NUVEEN TAX-FREE RESERVES (a Maryland corporation), NUVEEN
                 CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND, INC. (comprised of Nuveen
                 California Tax-Free Money Market Fund) (a Maryland
                 corporation) and NUVEEN TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
                 (comprised of Nuveen Massachusetts and New York Tax-Free
                 Money Market Funds) (a Minnesota corporation), including the
                 portfolios of investments, as of February 28, 1995, and the
                 related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
                 statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years
                 in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the
                 periods indicated thereon. 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 generally
                 accepted auditing standards. 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. An audit
                 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
                 amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
                 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
                 February 28, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and
                 brokers. As to securities purchased but not received, we
                 requested confirmation from brokers and, when replies were
                 not received, we carried out other alternative auditing
                 procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
                 principles used and significant estimates made by management,
                 as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
                 presentation. 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 net assets of each of the respective funds
                 constituting Nuveen Tax-Free Reserves, Nuveen California Tax-
                 Free Fund, Inc. and Nuveen Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Inc.
                 as of February 28, 1995, the results of their operations 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 the periods indicated thereon in conformity
                 with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 27: INDEMNIFICATION
Section 2-418 of the General Corporation Law of Maryland provides for indemni-

ration of Registrant provides as follows:
 
  NINTH: To the maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of
  the State of Maryland, as from time to time amended, the Corporation shall
  indemnify its currently acting and its former directors, officers, employ-
  ees and agents, and those persons who, at the request of the Corporation
  serve or have served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
  or other enterprise in one or more such capacities. The indemnification
  provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
  which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.
 
  Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or crim-
  inal action, suit or proceeding (including costs connected with the prepa-
  ration of a settlement) may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
  final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if authorized by the
  Board of Directors in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by
  or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay that
  amount of the advance which exceeds the amount which it is ultimately de-
  termined that he is entitled to receive from the Corporation by reason of
  indemnification as authorized herein; provided, however, that prior to mak-
  ing any such advance at least one of the following conditions shall have
  been met: (1) the indemnitee shall provide a security for his undertaking,
  (2) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of
  any lawful advances, or (3) a majority of a quorum of the disinterested,
  non-party directors of the Corporation, or an independent legal counsel in
  written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available
  facts, that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will
  be found and entitled to indemnification.
 
  Nothing in these Articles of Incorporation or in the By-Laws shall be
  deemed to protect or provide indemnification to any director or officer of
  the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation or to its security
  holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfea-
  sance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties in-
  volved in the conduct of his office ("disabling conduct"), and the Corpora-
  tion shall not indemnify any of its officers or directors against any lia-
  bility to the Corporation or to its security holders unless a determination
  shall have been made in the manner provided hereafter that such liability
  has not arisen from such officer's or director's disabling conduct. A de-
  termination that an officer or director is entitled to indemnification
  shall have been properly made if it is based upon (1) a final decision on
  the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought
  that the person to be indemnified ("indemnitee") was not liable by reason
  of disabling conduct or, (2) in the absence of such a decision, a reason-
  able determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the indemnitee
  was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, by (a) the vote of a major-
  ity of a quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the
  Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 nor parties to
  the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
 
                               -----------------
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to the officers, directors or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities
 
                                                                            C-3

and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by an officer or director or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such officer, director or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.     
   
The directors and officers of the Registrant (and of the other management
investment companies for which Nuveen Advisory Corp. serves as investment
adviser) are covered by an Investment Trust Errors and Omissions policy in the
aggregate amount of $20,000,000 (with a maximum deductible of $500,000) against
liability and expenses of claims of wrongful acts arising out of their position
with the Registrant (and such other companies), except for matters which
involve willful acts, bad faith, gross negligence and willful disregard of duty
(i.e., where the insured did not act in good faith for a purpose he or she
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the applicable investment
company or where he or she had reasonable cause to believe this conduct was
unlawful).

                        INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
                        -------------------------------



     AGREEMENT made this 1st day of May, 1988, by and between NUVEEN TAX-EXEMPT
MONEY MARKET FUND, INC., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), and NUVEEN
ADVISORY CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser").


                                  WITNESSETH
                                  ----------


     In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is
hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:


     1.  The Fund hereby employs the Adviser to act as the investment adviser
for, and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund
in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies and limitations,
and to administer its affairs to the extent requested by and subject to the
supervision of the Board of Directors of the Fund for the period and upon the
terms herein set forth. The investment of such assets shall be subject to the
Fund's policies, restrictions and instructions with respect to securities
investments as set forth in the Fund's Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 covering the
Fund's shares of Common Stock, including the Prospectus forming a part thereof,
all as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as from time to
time amended, and all applicable laws and the regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the management of registered open-end,
diversified management investment companies.
<PAGE>
 



                                      -2-


     The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during such period to render
such services, to furnish office facilities and equipment and clerical, 
bookkeeping and administrative services (other than such services, if any, 
provided by the Fund's transfer agent and shareholder service agent) for the
Fund, to permit any of its officers or employees to serve without compensation
as directors or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions, and to
assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.
The Adviser shall, for all purposes herein provided, be deemed to be an 
independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized,
shall have no authority to act for nor represent the Fund in any way, nor
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund.


     2. For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the Fund will
pay to the Adviser, at the end of each calendar month, an investment management
fee computed at an annual rate of .40 of 1% of the average daily net assets of
the Fund for the first $500 million in net assets, .375 of 1% of average daily
net assets in excess of $500 million but not more than $1 billion, .35 of 1% of
average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion but not more than $2 billion,
and .325 of 1% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. For the
month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective, or terminates, there
shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the number of days that the
Agreement is in effect during the month and year, respectively. The services of
the Adviser to the Fund under this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and
the Adviser shall be free to render similar services or other services to others
so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.

                                      -3-




     3. In addition to the services and facilities described in Section 1 the
Adviser shall assume and pay to the extent hereafter provided: (x) any expenses
for services rendered by a custodian for the safekeeping of the Fund's
securities or other property, for keeping its books of account, for calculating
the net asset value of the Fund as provided in the Articles of Incorporation of
the Fund, and any other charges of the custodian; and (y) the cost and expenses
of the Fund's operations, including compensation of the directors, transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder service agent expenses, legal fees, expenses
of independent accountants, costs of share certificates, expenses of preparing,
printing and distributing reports to shareholders and governmental agencies, and
all fees payable to Federal, State, or other governmental agencies on account of
the registration of securities issued by the Fund, filing of corporate documents
or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser shall not be obligated
to assume or pay interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of
portfolio securities or extraordinary expenses of the Fund. The Fund shall not
incur any obligation for management or administrative expenses which the Fund
intends the Adviser to assume and pay hereunder without first obtaining the
written approval of the Adviser.

     The foregoing enumerated expenses are hereby assumed by the Adviser to the
extent they, together with the Adviser's fee payable hereunder (but excluding
interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio 
securities and extraordinary expenses), exceed during any fiscal year .45 of 1%
of the Fund's average net assets for such year; to the extent
<PAGE>
 



                                      -4-



they do not exceed such percentage, such expenses shall be properly chargeable
to the Fund. If, at the end of any month, the expenses of the Fund properly
chargeable to the income account on a year-to-date basis shall exceed the
appropriate percentage of average net assets, the payment to the Adviser for
that month shall be reduced and, if necessary, the Adviser shall assume and pay
expenses pursuant hereto so that the total year-to-date net expense will not
exceed such percentage. As of the end of the Fund's fiscal year, the foregoing
computation and assumption of expenses shall be readjusted, if necessary, so
that the expenses assumed and paid by the Adviser, if any, are such, and the
aggregate compensation payable to the Adviser for the year, (otherwise equal to
the percentages set forth in Section 2 hereof of the average net asset value as
determined and described herein throughout the fiscal year) is diminished as may
be necessary, so that the total amount of expenses borne by the Fund shall not
exceed the applicable expense limitation.

     The net asset value of the Fund shall be calculated as provided in the
Articles of Incorporation of the Fund. On each day when net asset value is not
calculated, the net asset value of a share of Common Stock of the Fund shall be
deemed to be the net asset value of such share as of the close of business on
the last day on which such calculation was made for the purpose of the foregoing
computations.

     The Adviser shall arrange for officers or employees of the Adviser to 
serve, without compensation from the Fund, as directors, officers or agents of
the Fund, if duly elected or appointed to such positions, and subject to their
individual consent and to any limitations imposed by law.
<PAGE>
 



                                      -5-


     4. Subject to applicable statutes and regulations, it is understood that
officers, directors, or agents of the Fund are, or may be, interested in the
Adviser as officers, directors, agents, shareholders or otherwise, and that
the officers, directors, shareholders and agents of the Adviser may be 
interested in the Fund otherwise than as directors, officers or agents.


     5. The Adviser shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of the
purchase, sale or retention of any security, whether or not such purchase,
sale or retention shall have been based upon the investigation and research
made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation
shall have been selected with due care and in good faith, except loss resulting
from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on the part of the
Adviser in the performance of its obligations and duties, or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.


     6. The Adviser reserves the right to and does manage other investment
accounts and funds, including those with investment objectives similar to the
Fund. In the event that the Adviser manages other investment accounts or funds,
securities considered as investments for the Fund may also be appropriate for
such other investment accounts and funds that may be managed by the Adviser.
Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Adviser will attempt to allocate
equitably portfolio transactions among the Fund and the portfolios of its other
investment accounts and funds purchasing securities whenever decisions are made
to purchase or sell securities by the Fund and one
<PAGE>
 



                                      -6-


or more of such other accounts or funds simultaneously. In making such
allocations, the main factors to be considered by the Adviser will be the
respective investment objectives of the Fund and such other accounts and funds,
the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities,
the availability of cash for investment by the Fund and such other accounts and
funds, the size of investment commitments generally held by the Fund and such
accounts and funds, and the opinions of the persons responsible for recommending
investments to the Fund and such other accounts and funds.


     7. This Agreement shall continue in effect until May 1, 1989, unless and
until terminated by either party as hereinafter provided, and shall continue in
force from year to year thereafter, but only as long as such continuance is
specifically approved, at least annually, in the manner required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940.


     This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment, and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty
by the Fund or by the Adviser upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the other
party. The Fund may effect termination by action of the Board of Directors, or
by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Fund,
accompanied by appropriate notice.


     This Agreement may be terminated, at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, by the Board of Directors of the Fund, or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Fund, in the event that it 
<PAGE>
 



                                      -7-


shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that the
Adviser, or any officer or director of the Adviser, has taken any action which
results in a breach of the covenants of the Adviser set forth herein.


     Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the Adviser to
receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation, described in
Section 2, earned prior to such termination.


     8. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule, or otherwise, the remainder shall not be thereby
affected.


     9. The Adviser and its affiliates reserve the right to grant, at any time,
the use of the name "Nuveen", or any approximation or abbreviation thereof, to
any other investment company or business enterprise. Upon termination of this
Agreement by either party, or by its terms, the Fund shall thereafter refrain
from using any name of the Fund which includes "Nuveen", or any approximation or
abbreviation thereof, or is sufficiently similar to such name as to be likely to
cause confusion with such name, and shall not allude in any public statement or
advertisement to the former association.


     10. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and
delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party at such address as
such other party may designate for receipt of such notice.

                                      -8-




     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and the Adviser have caused this Agreement
to be executed on the day and year above written.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
upon receipt of the authorized consideration therefor in an amount not less than
either the Shares' net asset value or par value, if any, established and in 
force at the time of their sale, the Fund Shares so issued will be validly 
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

    2.4.  The Fund shall either (a) furnish the Transfer Agent with sufficient 
supplies of blank Share certificates in the form approved from time to time by 
Board of Directors of the Fund, and from time to time will renew such supplies 
upon request of the Transfer Agent, or (b) authorize the Transfer Agent to 
itself create laser-printed Share certificates in the form approved by the Board
of Directors of the Fund. Any such blank Share certificates shall be properly 
signed, by facsimile or otherwise, by authorized Officers and, if required, 
shall bear the seal of the Fund or a facsimile thereof. Notwithstanding the 
death, resignation or removal of any Officer authorized to sign such Share 
certificates, the Transfer Agent may continue to countersign and issue Share 
certificates bearing such Officer's signature until otherwise directed by the 
Fund. The Fund agrees to indemnify and exonerate, save and hold the Transfer 
Agent harmless, from and against any and all claims or demands that may be 
asserted against the Transfer Agent with respect to the genuineness of any Share
certificate supplied to the Transfer Agent by the Fund pursuant to this 
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 3

                     AUTHORIZATION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES

    3.1.  The Transfer Agent shall maintain records of accounts evidencing 
ownership of Shares as provided in this Agreement and in the Fund's Prospectus 
and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, when requested shall
countersign, record, issue, and deliver certificates for Shares both upon 
original issue and transfer. Evidence of the ownership of Shares shall be 
maintained on the Transfer Agent's records in book (uncertificated) form, or, if
requested by an Approved Institution (or the Distributor or its agent acting on 
behalf of such Approved Institution) or shareholder, Share certificates shall be
issued, subject to the provisions of Article 5 hereof, to evidence the ownership
of Shares.

    3.2.  Prior to the issuance of any Shares pursuant to Share splits and prior
to any reduction in the number of Shares outstanding, the Fund shall deliver the
following documents to the Transfer Agent:

    (a)  A copy of the resolution(s) adopted by the Board of Directors of the 
Fund and/or the shareholders of the relevant Fund, certified by the Secretary of
the Fund, authorizing such issuance of additional Shares of such Fund or such 
reduction, as the case may be;

    (b)  In the case of the issuance of Shares, an opinion of counsel for the 
Fund with respect to matters set forth in Section 2.3(f) hereof as to such 
shares; and

    (c)  Such additional documents as the Transfer Agent may reasonably request.

                                   ARTICLE 4

                    RECAPITALIZATION OR CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT

    4.1.  In the case of any Share split, recapitalization or other capital 
adjustment, the Transfer Agent will, in the case of accounts represented by 
uncertificated Shares, cause the account records to be adjusted, as necessary, 
to reflect the number of Shares held for the account of each such shareholder as
a result of such adjustment, or, in the case of Shares represented by 
certificates, will, if so instructed by the Fund, issue revised Share 
certificates in exchange for, or upon transfer of, outstanding share 
certificates in the old form, in either case upon receiving:

    (a)  A Certificate authorizing the issuance of revised Share certificates 
and any other action required to be taken by the Transfer Agent in connection 
with any such split, recapitalization or other capital adjustment;

    (b)  A copy of any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund, 
certified by the Secretary of the Fund, with respect to the adjustment;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
    (c)  Specimen Share certificates in the revised form approved by the Board 
of Directors of the Fund;

    (d)  An opinion of counsel for the Fund with respect to the matters set 
forth in Article 2, Section 2.3(f) hereof as to such Shares; and

    (e)  Such additional documents as the Transfer Agent may reasonably request.

    4.2.  The Fund shall either (a) furnish the Transfer Agent with a sufficient
supply of blank Share certificates in any new form authorized in connection with
any such Share split, recapitalization or other capital adjustment, and from 
time to time will replenish such supply upon the request of the Transfer Agent, 
or (b) authorize the Transfer Agent to itself create laser-printed Share 
certificates in the form approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Any 
such blank Share certificates shall be properly signed by authorized Officers 
and, if required, shall bear the Fund's seal or facsimile thereof.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                 ISSUANCE, REDEMPTION, AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

    5.1.  (a)  On each Business Day, the Transfer Agent shall accept, at such 
times as are agreed upon from time to time by the Transfer Agent and the Fund, 
(i) purchase orders received by the Transfer Agent directly from an Approved 
Institution (or the Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved 
Institution) or an individual investor, (ii) redemption requests either 
received from a shareholder, whether or not an Approved Institution (or the 
Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution), or 
contained in a Certificate, and (iii) requests for exchanges of Shares of the 
Fund for Shares of another fund received from a shareholder, whether or not an 
Approved Institution (or the Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such 
Approved Institution), or contained in a Certificate, provided that (1) such 
purchase order, exchange request or redemption request, as the case may be, is 
in conformity with the Fund's purchase, exchange, and redemption procedures, as 
applicable, described in the Prospectus, and (2) if such type of purchase order,
exchange request, or redemption request is not described in the Prospectus in 
effect upon the commencement date of the Agreement, the Transfer Agent has 
agreed to accept and act as to such order or request. Upon receipt on any 
Business Day of any check drawn or endorsed to the Transfer Agent, the Fund, or 
the Distributor for the purchase of Shares, or any payment made by Automated 
Clearing House or Federal Funds wire, the Transfer Agent shall deposit such 
check or payment in the bank account established by the Fund or the Distributor 
for the collection of such amounts and shall wire such amounts to the Fund's 
Custodian on the next Business Day. The Transfer Agent shall have no 
responsibility hereunder for the Fund's compliance with states securities 
registration laws ("Blue Sky laws") relating to such purchase orders, except to 
the extent that the Transfer Agent will maintain records in a manner that will 
enable the Fund to monitor the total number of Shares of the Fund sold in each 
state and shall provide the Fund reports as to such sales as specified in 
Appendix B to this Agreement.

    (b)  On each Business Day, the Transfer Agent shall also accept, at such 
times as are agreed upon from time to time by the Transfer Agent and the Fund, a
Computer Tape consistent in all respects with the Transfer Agent's tape layout 
package, as amended from time to time, which is reasonably believed by the 
Transfer Agent to be furnished by or on behalf of any Approved Institution, 
setting forth data as to purchases, redemptions and exchanges of Shares 
irrespective of whether payment of the purchase price accompanies such Computer 
Tape. The Transfer Agent may rely on the data on such Computer Tape as accurate,
and shall not be responsible hereunder for errors in such Computer Tapes 
furnished to it hereunder, unless caused solely by the Transfer Agent's own 
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

    (c)  On each Business Day, the Fund shall provide or cause to be provided to
the Transfer Agent, at such time as the parties hereto shall agree, the net 
asset value per share for the Fund and such other information as the Transfer 
Agent may reasonably request.

    5.2.  On the Business Day following each Business Day, at such time as the 
Transfer Agent and the Fund shall agree, an authorized employee of the Transfer 
Agent shall confirm the following information by summary sheet

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 



transmitted by electronic or other electromagnetic means to an authorized
employee or agent of the Fund (or by such other form as shall be agreed upon
from time to time by the Fund and the Transfer Agent);

   (a)  The total dollar amount to be applied toward the purchase of Shares of 
the Fund and the number of Shares of the Fund purchased on such prior Business 
Day, computed by aggregating the amounts so specified in (i) the purchase orders
received by the Transfer Agent on such prior Business Day from individual 
investors and (ii) all Computer Tapes described in Section 5.1(b) timely 
received by the Transfer Agent with respect to such prior Business Day;

   (b)  The total dollar value and number of Shares of the Fund redeemed on such
prior Business Day, computed by aggregating the amounts so specified in (i) the 
redemption requests received by the Transfer Agent directly on the preceding 
Business Day from shareholders, and (ii) all Computer Tapes described in Section
5.1(b) relating to such prior Business Day; and

   (c)  The total dollar value and number of Shares of the Fund to be exchanged 
for Shares of another fund and the number of shares of such other fund to be 
issued in such exchanges on such prior Business Day, and the total dollar value 
and number of shares of the Fund to be issued in exchange for shares of another 
fund on such prior business day (if not included in 5.2(a) above), all computed 
by aggregating the amounts represented by any exchange requests received 
directly by the Transfer Agent from shareholders and the amounts specified in 
all Computer Tapes described in Section 5.1(b) relating to such prior Business 
Day.

   5.3.  As to each Business Day, the Transfer Agent will (on a day on which 
banks in Chicago, Illinois, and New York, New York are open for business but in 
any event on or prior to the fifth Business Day following such Business Day) 
advise the Distributor of the amount of cash necessary to be wired to the 
appropriate Custodian, representing purchase orders for the Fund's Shares 
received by the Transfer Agent as to such Business Day, as set forth in Section 
5.1 above. As to each Business Day, the Transfer Agent will advise the Fund of 
the amount of cash representing exchange orders received by the Transfer Agent 
as to such Business Day, such advice to be given on the next Business Day.

   5.4.  As to each Business Day, the Transfer Agent shall issue to, and redeem 
from, the accounts specified in a purchase order, redemption request, or 
exchange request received by the Transfer Agent in proper form in accordance 
with the Prospectus and, when required by the Prospectus, properly endorsed by 
the record owner thereof with the record owner's or owners' signatures(s) 
guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank or U.S. trust company, a member of a 
national securities exchange, or shall issue to, and /or redeem from, the 
accounts specified in a Computer Tape received by the Transfer Agent from an 
Approved Institution, the appropriate number of full and fractional Shares based
on the net asset value per Share of the relevant series of the Fund specified in
an advice received as to such Business Day from the Fund. Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, if a redemption specified in a redemption request received directly 
by the Transfer Agent or in a Computer Tape is for a dollar value of Shares in 
excess of the dollar value of uncertificated Shares in the specified account
plus the dollar value of certificated Shares in the specified account for which
the Transfer Agent has received the tender of a Share certificate or
certificates in proper form as described above, the Transfer Agent shall not
effect such redemption in whole or part. In such case involving a Computer Tape,
the Transfer Agent shall orally or by electronic or other electromagnetic means
advise both the Fund and the Approved Institution (or the Distributor or its
agent if acting on behalf of such Approved Institution) which supplied such
Computer Tape of such discrepancy. In such case involving a direct shareholder,
the Transfer Agent shall, within five (5) business days, notify such shareholder
directly, orally, or in writing.

   5.5.  The Transfer Agent shall, as of each Business Day specified in a 
Certificate described in Section 6.1, issue Shares of the Fund, based on the net
asset value per Share of the Fund specified in an advice received from the Fund 
as to such Business Day, in connection with a reinvestment of a dividend or 
distribution on Shares of the Fund.

   5.6.  On each Business Day, the Transfer Agent shall advise the Fund by 
computer/electromagnetic tape specifying, with respect to the immediately 
preceding Business Day; the total number of Shares of the Fund (including 
fractional Shares) issued and outstanding at the opening of business on such 
day; the total number of Shares of the Fund

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 



sold on such day, pursuant to Section 5.2; the total number of Shares in the 
Fund redeemed or exchanged on such day; the total number of Shares of the Fund, 
if any, sold on such day pursuant to preceding Section 5.4, and the total number
of Shares of the Fund issued and outstanding at the close of business on such 
day. Unless the Fund or its agent shall advise the Transfer Agent of any error 
in the information contained in such computer/electromagnetic tape (the "Initial
Tape") prior to the transmission of the next computer/electromagnetic tape by
the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to have fulfilled its 
responsibilities hereunder with respect to the accuracy of the data on 
subsequent computer/electromagnetic tapes submitted to the Fund that are based 
in whole or in part upon any inaccurate data from the Initial Tape.

   5.7.  In connection with each purchase, exchange and redemption of Shares 
other than pursuant to a Computer Tape submitted by an Approved Institution (or 
by the Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution), 
the Transfer Agent shall send to the shareholder such statements as are 
described in the Prospectus or as otherwise reasonably instructed in writing by 
the Fund. If the Prospectus indicates that certificates for Shares are 
available, and if specifically requested in writing by any shareholder, or if 
otherwise required hereunder, the Transfer Agent will countersign, issue and 
mail to such shareholder, at the address set forth in the records of the 
Transfer Agent, a Share certificate for any full Shares requested.

   5.8.  In computing the redemption proceeds to be paid to any shareholder or 
to an account for an Approved Institution, the Transfer Agent shall first 
compute the amount of any withholding for federal income taxes for which the 
Transfer Agent has the responsibility under this Agreement to calculate such 
withholding, in such manner as the Fund and the Transfer Agent shall agree from 
time to time in conformity with instructions provided by the Fund to the 
Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall also compute any withholding for 
federal income taxes for which the Transfer Agent has such responsibility at the
time of any exchange of a Fund's shares for another fund's shares. In the case 
of a redemption of Shares directly by a shareholder of record and not by means 
of a Computer Tape submitted by an Approved Institution (or by the Distributor 
or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution), upon deposit of 
moneys in a redemption account by the relevant Custodian against which the 
Transfer Agent is authorized by the Fund to draw checks in connection with a 
redemption of Shares of the Fund, the Transfer Agent shall cancel the redeemed
Shares and after making appropriate deduction for any withholding of taxes
required of it by this Agreement or applicable law, make payment of (i) the
redemption proceeds to the order of the shareholder, and (ii) any tax withheld
to the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the Fund's redemption and
payment procedures described in the Prospectus or as otherwise reasonably
described in a written instruction from the Fund. In the case of an exchange of
Shares directly by a shareholder of record and not by means of a Computer Tape
submitted by an Approved Institution (or by the Distributor or its agent acting
on behalf of such Approved Institution), upon deposit of moneys in an account by
the relevant Custodian against which the Transfer Agent is authorized by the
Fund to draw checks in connection with an exchange of Shares of the Fund, the
Transfer Agent shall cancel the exchanged Shares, and withhold and pay taxes
required under this Agreement and applicable law. In the case of a redemption of
Shares pursuant to a Computer Tape, the Transfer Agent shall, on the next
Business Day, send the Fund a Computer Tape setting forth the amount of
redemption proceeds due each Approved Institution. If such Approved Institution
(or the Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution)
has previously furnished the Transfer Agent withholding instructions with
respect to such redemption or any exchange of Shares pursuant to a Computer
Tape, the Transfer Agent shall include in the Computer Tape furnished to the
Fund information as to the amount of such withholding.

   5.9.  The Transfer Agent shall not be required to issue Shares of any 
Portfolio of the Fund (other than with respect to the reinvestment of dividends 
or distributions on shares owned by an existing shareholder if so stated in the
certificate) after it has received a Certificate stating that the sale of Shares
of that Portfolio of the Fund has been suspended or discontinued.

   5.10.  The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for the payment of the 
original issue or other taxes required to be paid by the Fund in connection with
the issuance of any Shares.

   5.11.  The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for issuing or effecting 
any "stop transfer" or other similar order or restriction on any Shares held in 
the name of an Approved Institution. In the case of Shares registered in the 
name of a shareholder other than an Approved Institution as to

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
 
which a "stop transfer" or other similar order or restriction applies, the
Transfer Agent will adhere to the terms of such stop transfer or similar order,
except that it may rely on a Certificate to effect a redemption, exchange or
transfer of such Shares, notwithstanding such stop order or restriction.

   5.12.  The Transfer Agent shall accept (a) a Computer Tape which is furnished
by or on behalf of any Approved Institution (or the Distributor or its agent
acting on behalf of such Approved Institution) and represented to be
instructions with respect to the transfer of Shares from one account of such 
Approved Institution to another such account, and (b) as to Shares standing 
directly in the name of a shareholder other than an Approved Institution, 
transfer instructions in proper form in accordance with the Fund's Prospectus 
and the Transfer Agent's rules described herein, and shall effect the transfer 
specified in said Computer Tape or transfer instructions, provided that any 
necessary documents or Share certificates have been tendered to the Transfer 
Agent.

   5.13.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (b) of this Section 
5.13 and in Section 5.14, Shares will be transferred, exchanged or redeemed 
other than pursuant to Computer Tapes from an Approved Institution (or the 
Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution) upon 
presentation to the Transfer Agent of endorsed Share certificates or, in the 
case of uncertificated Shares, instructions endorsed in proper form in 
accordance with the Prospectus as stated in Section 5.4, accompanied by such 
documents as the Transfer Agent reasonably deems necessary to evidence the 
authority of the person making such transfer, exchange or redemption, and 
bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of transfer taxes. In the case of 
small estates, where no administration is contemplated, the Transfer Agent may, 
when furnished with an appropriate small estates affidavit under applicable law 
or with a surety bond, and without further approval of the Fund, transfer or 
redeem Shares registered in the name of a decedent if the current market value 
of the Shares being redeemed or transferred does not exceed such amount as may 
from time to time be presented by the applicable state statutes and regulations.
The Transfer Agent reserves the right to refuse to transfer, exchange or redeem
Shares until it is reasonably satisfied that the endorsement on the Share
certificate or instructions is valid and genuine, and for that purpose it will
require, unless otherwise instructed by an Officer, a signature guarantee as
stated in Section 5.4 of this Agreement. The Transfer Agent also reserves the
right to refuse to transfer, exchange or redeem Shares until it is reasonably
satisfied that the requested transfer, exchange, or redemption is legally
authorized, or until it is reasonably satisfied that there is no basis to any
claims adverse to such transfer, exchange or redemption. The Transfer Agent may,
in effecting transfers, exchanges and redemptions of Shares, rely upon those
provisions of the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security
Transfers or the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended from time
to time, applicable to the transfer of securities.

   (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this 
Agreement to the contrary, the Transfer Agent shall be fully protected by the 
Fund in requiring any instructions, documents, assurances, endorsements or 
guarantees, including, without limitation, any signature guarantees, in 
connection with a redemption, exchange or transfer of Shares whenever the 
Transfer Agent reasonably believes that requiring the same would be consistent 
with the transfer, exchange and redemption procedures described in the 
Prospectus, or in any instructions or certificates provided to the Transfer 
Agent by the Fund.

   5.14.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Transfer Agent shall not be expected to require, as a condition to
any transfer, redemption or exchange of any Shares pursuant to a Computer Tape, 
any documents, including, without limitation, any documents of the kind 
described in Section 5.13(a) to evidence the authority of the person requesting 
the transfer, exchange or redemption and/or the payment of any transfer taxes, 
and shall be fully protected in accordance with the applicable provisions of 
this Agreement.

   5.15.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any agreement or 
representation by the Transfer Agent to permit, or to agree to permit, any 
Approved Institution to input information into the System, although the Transfer
Agent may, with the Fund's written permission, permit access to the System by an
Approved Institution to retrieve data or information as to such Approved 
Institution's accounts.

                                   ARTICLE 6


                          DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS


   6.1.  The Fund shall furnish to the Transfer Agent a Certificate either 
(i) setting forth with respect to the Fund the date of the declaration of a
dividend or distribution, the date of accrual or payment thereof, as the case
may be, the record date as of which shareholders entitled to payment or accrual,
as the case may be, shall be determined, the amount per Share of such dividend
or distribution for the Fund, the payment date on which all previously accrued
and unpaid dividends are to be paid, and the total amount, if any, payable by
the Transfer Agent with respect to such dividend or distribution on such payment
date, or (ii) stating that the declaration of dividends and distributions shall
be on a daily or other periodic basis and containing information of the type set
forth in subsection (i) hereof.

   6.2.  Upon the payment date specified in the relevant Certificate, the 
Transfer Agent shall, in the case of a cash dividend or distribution, advise the
Fund (by telephone or other electronic transmission) of the amount of cash
necessary to make the payment of the dividend or distribution to the 
shareholders of record as of such payment date, including the amounts to be paid
to Approved Institutions. The Fund shall be responsible for having the 
appropriate Custodian transfer a sufficient amount of cash to a dividend 
disbursement account maintained by the Fund against which the Transfer Agent 
shall cause checks to be drawn to the order of such shareholders or Approved
Institutions in payment of the dividend. The Transfer Agent shall not be liable
for any improper payments made in accordance with a Certificate described in
Section 6.1. If the Transfer Agent shall not receive from the appropriate 
Custodian sufficient cash to make payments of any cash dividend or distribution 
to shareholders of the Fund as of the record date, the Transfer Agent may, upon
notifying the Fund, withhold payment to all shareholders of record as of the 
record date until sufficient cash is provided to the Transfer Agent unless
otherwise instructed by the Fund by a Certificate and acceptable to the Transfer
Agent. In the case of dividends or distributions reinvested in additional Shares
of a series of the Fund, the Transfer Agent shall follow the procedures set
forth in Section 5.5.

   6.3.  The Transfer Agent shall in no way be responsible for the determination
of the rate or form of dividends or capital gain distributions due shareholders.

   6.4.  The Transfer Agent shall upon request of the Fund file such appropriate
information returns concerning the payment of dividends and capital gain 
distributions and redemptions with the proper Federal, state and local 
authorities as are required by law to be filed by the Fund but shall in no way
be responsible for the collection or withholding of taxes due on such dividends
or distributions or on redemption proceeds due shareholders, except and only to
the extent required of it by applicable law for accounts of shareholders other 
than Approved Institutions. If any amount is to be withheld from any dividend
or distribution paid to, or exchange or redemption proceeds or other cash
distribution from, the account of an Approved Institution, such Approved 
Institution (or the Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved
Institution) may advise the Transfer Agent of the amount to be withheld 
therefrom, and if such advice is provided in a timely manner to the Transfer
Agent, the Transfer Agent will provide a separate check for such amount to the
Approved Institution, which shall be responsible for the proper application of
such withheld amounts.


                                   ARTICLE 7


                             CONCERNING THE FUND 
  

   7.1.  The Fund shall promptly deliver to the Transfer Agent written notice of
any change in the Officers authorized to sign or give Share certificates or
Certificates, together with a specimen signature of each new Officer.

   7.2.  It shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund to deliver to the 
Transfer Agent in a timely manner the Fund's currently effective Prospectus,
copies of any exemptive relief obtained by the Fund under applicable securities
laws and copies of any amendments to the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, 
By-Laws and any other documents to be furnished by the Fund under this Agreement
to enable the Transfer Agent to carry out its duties hereunder, and, for 
purposes of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall not be deemed to have 
notice of any information contained in such




                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
Prospectus, exemptive relief or other document until it is actually received by
the Transfer Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 8

                        CONCERNING THE TRANSFER AGENT 

   8.1.  Subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 8.4, the Transfer 
Agent shall not be liable and shall be fully protected in acting upon and in 
compliance with any Computer Tape, Certificate, oral instructions, writing or 
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed (in the
case of written instructions or documents) or made by the proper person or 
persons and shall not be held to have any notice of any change of authority of 
any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Fund or such person.
Subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 8.4, the Transfer Agent 
shall be similarly protected in processing Share certificates which it 
reasonably believes to bear the proper manual or facsimile signatures of the 
Officers of the Fund and the proper countersignature of the Transfer Agent or 
any prior transfer agent.

   8.2.  The Transfer Agent covenants that it shall carry out its 
responsibilities under this Agreement in accordance and compliance with the 
provisions of applicable laws and regulations governing its operation as a 
transfer agent.

   8.3.  The Transfer Agent shall keep and maintain on behalf of the Fund such 
records which the Fund or the Transfer Agent is, or may be, required to keep and
maintain pursuant to any applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including 
without limitation Rule 31a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, relating
to the maintenance of records in connection with the services to be provided 
hereunder. The Transfer Agent agrees to make such records available for 
inspection by the Fund at reasonable times and otherwise to keep confidential 
all records and other information relative to the Fund and its shareholders, 
except when the Transfer Agent reasonably believes it has been (i) requested to 
divulge such information by duly-constituted authorities or court process; (ii) 
or requested by a shareholder with respect to information concerning an account 
as to which such shareholder has either a legal or beneficial interest; or (iii)
when requested by the Fund, the shareholder, or the dealer of record as to such 
account.

   8.4.  (a)  The Transfer Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage, 
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs, 
resulting from the Transfer Agent's actions or omissions to act under or in 
connection with this Agreement and its duties and responsibilities hereunder, 
except for any loss or damage arising out of its own failure to act in good 
faith, or its negligence or willful misfeasance.

   (b)  The Transfer Agent shall, provided such coverage is readily available to
the Transfer Agent at reasonable rates and upon reasonable terms and conditions,
maintain an insurance policy or surety bond, in the face amount of $10 million 
per covered transaction against losses suffered by the Transfer Agent in excess 
of the policy deductibles arising from errors and omissions on the part of the 
Transfer Agent in carrying out its responsibilities under this Agreement and 
other agreements. The Transfer Agent shall upon request, furnish promptly to the
Fund copies of all insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 8.4(b)
that have not previously been furnished to the Fund.

   (c)  Any costs or losses incurred by the Fund for the processing of any 
purchase, redemption, exchange or other share transactions at a price per share 
other than the price per share applicable to the effective date of the 
transaction (the foregoing being generally referred to herein as "as of" 
transactions) will be handled in the following manner:

        1.  For each calendar year, if all "as of" transactions for the year,
            taken in the aggregate, result in a net loss to the Fund ("net
            loss"), Transfer Agent will reimburse the Fund for such net loss,
            except to the extent that such net loss may be offset by application
            of a "net benefit" to the Fund carried over from prior calendar
            years pursuant to sub-paragraph 2 immediately below.

        2.  For each calendar year, if all "as of" transactions for the year,
            taken in the aggregate, result in a net benefit to the Fund ("net
            benefit"), the Fund shall not reimburse the Transfer Agent for the
            amount of such net benefit; however, any "net benefit" for any
            calendar year may be used to offset, in whole or in part, any "net
            loss" suffered by the Fund in any future calendar year so as to
            reduce the amount by which the Transfer Agent shall be required to
            reimburse the Fund for such "net loss" in such year pursuant to sub-
            paragraph 1 immediately above.

        3.  Any "net loss" for which the Transfer Agent reimburses the Fund in
            any calendar year shall not be carried over into future years so as
            to offset any "net benefit" in such future years.

   8.5.  The Fund shall indemnify and exonerate, save and hold harmless the
Transfer Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents (hereinafter
the Transfer Agent and such persons are referred to as "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all liabilities or losses arising from claims or demands 
(whether with or without basis in fact or law), and from any and all expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and court
costs associated with defending against such claims and demands,) of any nature
which any Indemnitee may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against any
Indemnitee by any person arising out of or in any manner related to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith and without
negligence or willful misconduct in reasonable reliance upon (i) any provision
of this Agreement; (ii) the Prospectus; (iii) any instruction or order 
including, without limitation, any Computer Tape reasonably believed by the
Transfer Agent to have been received from an Approved Institution (or the 
Distributor or its agent acting on behalf of such Approved Institution); 
(iv) any instrument or order reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to be
genuine and to be signed, countersigned or executed by any duly authorized
Officer; (v) any Certificate or other instructions of an Officer; (vi) any 
opinion of legal counsel for the Fund; (vii) any records or data supplied by the
Fund's prior transfer agent; or (viii) any order of any court, arbitration panel
or other judicial entity.

   8.6.  At any time the Transfer Agent may apply to an Officer of the Fund for
written instructions with respect to any matters arising in connection with the
Transfer Agent's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and the Transfer
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith
and without negligence or willful misconduct in accordance with such written
instructions. The Transfer Agent may consult with counsel to the Fund, at the
expense of the Fund and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done
or omitted by it in good faith and without negligence or willful misfeasance in
accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel of the Fund. Such application
by the Transfer Agent for written instructions from an Officer of the Fund may,
at the option of the Transfer Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed
to be taken or omitted by the Transfer Agent with respect to its duties or
obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action
shall be taken, and the Transfer Agent shall not be liable (other than for its
bad faith, negligence or willful misfeasance) for any action taken or omitted
in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the
date specified therein unless, prior to taking or omitting any such action, the
Transfer Agent has received written instructions in response to such application
specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

   8.7.  Any report, confirmation or other document furnished to the Fund or to
an Approved Institution as part of the Transfer Agent's responsibilities under
this Agreement shall be deemed final and conclusive on the 8th Business Day
after such report, confirmation or document has been furnished to the Fund or
Approved Institution, as the case may be, and the Transfer Agent shall not be
liable to the Fund or such Approved Institution under this Agreement as to any
error or omission in such report, confirmation or document that is not reported
to the Transfer Agent within such 7-day period.

   8.8.  The Transfer Agent shall deliver Share certificates by courier or by
certified or registered mail to the shareholder's address in the records of the
Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall advise the Fund of any Share 
certificates returned as undeliverable after being transmitted by courier or
mailed as herein provided for.
 



                                     -10-
<PAGE>
 
   8.9.   The Transfer Agent may issue new Share certificates in place of Share 
certificates represented to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed upon receiving 
instructions satisfactory to the Transfer Agent. If the Transfer Agent receives 
written notification from the owner of the lost, destroyed, or stolen Share 
certificate within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of such loss, 
destruction or theft, the Transfer Agent shall issue a replacement Share 
certificate upon receipt of an affidavit or affidavits of loss or nonreceipt and
an indemnity agreement executed by the registered owner or his legal 
representative, and supported (a) in the case of a certificate having a value at
the time of replacement of less than $100, by a fixed penalty surety bond for 
twice the then-current market value of Shares represented by said certificate, 
(b) in the case of a certificate having a value at time of replacement of $100 
or more, by an open penalty bond, in form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, or
(c) by such other documentation or reasonable assurances in a particular case as
may be set forth in a Certificate. If the Fund receives such written 
notification from the owner of the lost, destroyed or stolen Share certificate 
within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of it, the Fund shall 
promptly notify the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may issue new Share 
certificates in exchange for, and upon surrender of, mutilated Share 
certificates.

   8.10.  The Transfer Agent will supply shareholder lists to the Fund from time
to time upon receiving a request therefor from an Officer of the Fund.

   8.11.  At the request of an Officer, the Transfer Agent will address and mail
such appropriate notices to shareholders as the Fund may direct, at the Fund's 
expense.

   8.12.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, the
Transfer Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire into, and shall
not be liable for:

   (a)  The legality of the issue or sale of any Shares, the sufficiency of the 
amount to be received therefor, or the authority of an Approved Institution or 
of the Fund, as the case may be, to request such sale or issuance;

   (b)  The legality of a transfer, exchange or redemption of any Shares by an 
Approved Institution, the propriety of the amount to be paid therefor, or the 
authority of an Approved Institution to request such transfer, exchange or 
redemption;

   (c)  The legality of the declaration of any dividend or capital gains 
distribution by the Fund, or the legality of the issue of any Shares in payment 
of any Share dividend or distribution; or

   (d)  The legality of any recapitalization or readjustment of the Shares.

   8.13.  The Transfer Agent shall be entitled to receive, and the Fund hereby 
agrees to pay to the Transfer Agent for its performance hereunder, including its
performance of the duties and functions set forth in Appendix B hereto, (i) its 
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation legal expenses,
court costs, and attorney's fees, associated with litigation or arbitration), 
incurred in connection with this Agreement and its performance hereunder and 
(ii) such compensation as is specified in Appendix C hereto as such fees may be 
amended from time to time by agreement in writing by the Transfer Agent and the 
Fund.

   8.14.  The Transfer Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever
except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this 
Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied in this Agreement 
against the Transfer Agent.

   8.15.  The Transfer Agent shall indemnify and exonerate, save and hold 
harmless the Fund, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and 
against any and all liabilities or losses arising from claims and demands 
(whether with or without basis in fact or law), and from any and all expenses 
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and court 
costs), of any nature which the Fund or any officer, director, employee or agent
may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against them by any person arising
out of or in any manner related to the Transfer Agent's failure to comply with 
the terms of this Agreement or which arise out of the Transfer Agent's 
negligence or willful misconduct provided, however, that the Transfer Agent 
shall not indemnify and exonerate, save and

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
hold harmless, the Fund, its officers, directors, employees, and agents for 
anything arising out of or in any manner related to the Fund's failure to comply
with the terms of this Agreement or which arises out of the Fund's, or any 
officer's, director's, employee's or agent's (other than the Transfer Agent) 
negligence or willful misconduct.

                                   ARTICLE 9

                                  TERMINATION

   9.1.  The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
and shall continue through June 30, 1996 (which period shall be referred to
herein as the "Initial Term"), unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section
9.2. Thereafter, unless terminated by either party at the end of the Initial
Term upon at least 90 days' prior written notice, this Agreement shall continue
from day to day thereafter (such period shall be referred to as the "Renewal
Term"), until either of the parties hereto terminates this Agreement by giving
at least 6 months' prior written notice to the other party, whereupon this
Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the expiration of the 6-month
period specified in the written notice. In the event such notice of termination
is given by the Fund, it shall be accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Fund, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, electing to terminate this Agreement. The Fund shall, on or before
the termination date, deliver to the Transfer Agent a copy of a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Fund certified by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary designating a successor transfer agent or transfer agents. In the
absence of such designation by the Fund, the Transfer Agent may designate a
successor transfer agent. If the Fund fails to designate a successor transfer
agent and if the Transfer Agent is unable to find a successor transfer agent,
the Fund shall, upon the date specified for termination of this Agreement and
delivery of the records maintained hereunder, be deemed to be its own transfer
agent and the Transfer Agent shall thereby be relieved of all duties and
responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement.

   9.2.  Notwithstanding Section 9.1 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated at
any time by the Fund upon not less than 60 days' written notice from the Fund to
the Transfer Agent notifying the Transfer Agent: (i) if the Fund's Board of
Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940), upon
completion of the procedures set forth below have reasonably made a specific
finding that the Transfer Agent has failed on a continuing basis to perform its
duties pursuant to this Agreement in a satisfactory manner consistent with then
current industry standards and practices or (ii) if there is instituted or
pending any action or proceeding by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or regulatory agency against or involving the parties hereto,
their affiliates, the Directors of the Fund or any of them and challenging the
making of this Agreement or alleging that any material term of the Agreement is
contrary to law or any governmental agency has threatened in writing to commence
such an action or proceeding. Prior to any termination pursuant to clause (i),
the Board of Directors of the Fund shall provide the Transfer Agent with a
written statement of the specific aspects of the Transfer Agent's performance of
its duties that are unsatisfactory, the specific incident or incidents giving
rise to the Board of Directors' conclusion and any written material that the
Board of Directors relied upon in making such a determination. The Transfer
Agent shall have 30 days to respond to such written statement. If no response is
made, or if, after reasonable consideration of the response of the Transfer
Agent, such response is unsatisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Fund,
then the Board of Directors of the Fund may terminate the Agreement pursuant to
clause (i) hereof. For purposes of making a finding as contemplated by clause
(i) above, and without limiting the generality of such clause (i), the Transfer
Agent shall, absent unusual circumstances, be presumed to have failed on a
continuing basis to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement in a
satisfactory manner consistent with the industry standards and practices
prevailing on the date of this Agreement if any of the following should occur:

   (1)  The Transfer Agent, through its fault, is unable (more than once in a 
twelve-month period) to process daily activity for any two successive Business 
Days and to confirm information generated by such activity by the fourth 
Business Day following the later of such two Business Days. (For example, 
assuming no holidays, daily activity on a Monday and Tuesday is not confirmed by
the following Monday.)

   (2)  The Transfer Agent, through its fault, is unable (more than two times in
any twelve-month period) to provide system access to personnel of an Approved 
Institution for six hours between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Chicago time on three 
successive Business Days.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>
 
   (3)  The Transfer Agent, through its fault, is unable (more than twice in any
one year) to create and mail dividend checks within four Business Days after the
Fund's payable date (assuming that the required information has been furnished
to the Transfer Agent on the record date).

   (4)  The Transfer Agent, through its fault, is unable to instruct various
financial institutions on daily money movements from and to the Fund's Custodian
for two successive Business Days by the fourth Business Day following the later
of such two Business Days. (For this purpose, instructions based on reasonable
estimates are treated as fulfilling the Transfer Agent's obligations hereunder.)

   (5)  The Transfer Agent, through its fault, is unable (more than twice in any
twelve-month period) to transmit dividend activity to an Approved Institution
within five Business Days from the Fund's payable date.

   For purposes of the foregoing, an event described in any of the foregoing 
clauses 1 through 5 shall be deemed not to have occurred if the Transfer Agent's
inability to perform is a result directly or indirectly of faulty or inadequate 
performance by service providers including but not limited to telephone 
companies, pricing services, John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated, Approved 
Institutions, and banks other than the Transfer Agent and its agents and
employees or a result directly or indirectly of other events out of the Transfer
Agent's reasonable control. Also for the purpose of the foregoing, if the
Transfer Agent processes transactions or instructions (as the case may be) as
required hereunder within the time periods indicated but more than 10% of the
transactions, checks or instructions, as the case may be, are inaccurate in any
material respect and are not corrected within the requisite time, then the
Transfer Agent shall be deemed to have been unable to perform the relevant
service within the requisite time.

   9.3.  In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent will 
facilitate transfer of the records maintained by it hereunder and cooperate with
such successor transfer agent as may be designated pursuant to the provisions of
Section 9.1 hereof with respect to delivery of such records and assumption by 
such successor transfer agent of its duties. In the event the Fund or the 
Transfer Agent terminates the Transfer Agency Agreement at any time, the Fund 
shall be responsible for the payment of fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent 
relating to the conversion to the new Transfer Agent.

                                  ARTICLE 10

                               ADDITIONAL SERIES

   10.1.  In the event that the Fund establishes one or more series in addition 
to any series named herein with respect to which it desires to have the Transfer
Agent render services as Transfer Agent under the terms hereof, it shall so 
notify the Transfer Agent in writing at least 60 days in advance of the sale of 
Shares of such series and shall deliver to the Transfer Agent the documents 
listed in Section 2.3 with respect to such series. Unless the Transfer Agent 
declines in writing within a reasonable time to provide such services, the 
Shares of such series shall be subject to this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 11

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

   11.1.  The Fund agrees that prior to effecting any change in the Prospectus 
which would increase or alter the duties or obligations of the Transfer Agent 
hereunder, it shall advise the Transfer Agent of such proposed change at least 
30 days prior to the intended date of the same, and shall proceed with such 
change only if it shall have received the written consent of the Transfer Agent 
thereto, and shall have received and agreed to the schedule of charges, if any, 
specified by the Transfer Agent as necessary to effect such change.

   11.2.  Any notice or other instrument in writing, authorized or required by 
this Agreement to be given to the Fund shall be sufficiently given if addressed 
to the Fund and mailed or delivered to it at its office at 333 West Wacker 
Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, Attention: Mr. Stuart W. Rogers, or at such 
other place as the Fund may from time to time designate in writing.

                                     -13-

<PAGE>
 
   11.3.  Any notice or other instrument in writing, authorized or required by 
this Agreement to be given to the Transfer Agent shall be sufficiently given if 
addressed to the Transfer Agent, Attention: President, and mailed or delivered 
to it at its office at 3410 South Galena Street, Denver, Colorado 80231, with a 
copy to be sent to Andrew J. Donohue at Oppenheimer Management Corporation, Two 
World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048, or at such other place as the 
Transfer Agent may from time to time designate in writing.

   11.4.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by
a written agreement executed by both parties.

   11.5.  This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the parties 
hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that 
this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Fund or the Transfer Agent without
the written consent of the other party. A change in ownership of the Transfer 
Agent as a result of an internal reorganization of the Transfer Agent, its 
parent corporation or affiliates shall not be deemed to be an "assignment" 
hereunder. A change in "control" (as defined under the Investment Company Act of
1940) of the Transfer Agent's parent corporation shall not be deemed an 
"assignment" hereunder. A sale of a controlling interest in the capital stock or
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Transfer Agent to a third party
unaffiliated with the Transfer Agent or its parent corporation shall be deemed 
an "assignment" hereunder.

   11.6.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with 
the laws of the State of Colorado as applicable to agreements to be wholly 
performed in that state.

   11.7.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of 
which shall be deemed to be an original; but such counterparts shall, together, 
constitute only one instrument.

   11.8.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit only the 
Transfer Agent and the Fund, and no rights shall be granted to any other person 
by virtue of this Agreement.

   11.9.  Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent will be liable or responsible 
hereunder for delays or errors by reason of circumstances reasonably beyond its 
control, including, without limitation, acts of civil or military authority, 
national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, mechanical breakdown, flood, 
catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots, or failure of 
transportation, communication or power supply.

   11.10. The Fund shall establish and maintain such bank accounts, with such 
bank or banks as are selected by the Fund, as are necessary so that the Transfer
Agent may perform the services to be provided hereunder. To the extent that 
performance of such services shall require the Transfer Agent directly to 
disburse amounts for payments of dividends, redemption proceeds or other 
purposes, the Fund shall provide such bank or banks with all instructions and 
authorizations necessary to evidence the Transfer Agent's authority to effect 
such transactions.

                                  ARTICLE 12

                 SERVICES NOT PERFORMED BY THE TRANSFER AGENT

   12.1  The Fund and Nuveen & Co. have indicated to the Transfer Agent that 
they will have Nuveen & Co. perform several functions which would otherwise have
been performed by the Transfer Agent. Specifically, Nuveen & Co. shall, on 
behalf of the Fund, perform the following functions: (i) respond to inquiries 
from shareholders; (ii) input detailed information regarding purchases and sales
of Fund shares by shareholders; and (iii) arrange for receipt by the Fund of 
payment for Fund shares purchased by shareholders and payment by the Fund of 
shares redeemed by Fund shareholders.

   12.2.  The Transfer Agent has agreed to the fees set forth in Appendix C 
relying on Nuveen & Co. performing the functions set forth in 12.1. In the event
that for any reason the Transfer Agent is requested to perform any of those
functions the fees set forth in Appendix C shall be increased to adequately
compensate the Transfer Agent for performing those functions.

                                     -14-
<PAGE>
 
     12.3. The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for any of the functions
performed (or to be performed) by Nuveen & Co. under 12.1 or any other functions
equally performed or agreed to be performed by Nuveen. The Transfer Agent shall 
be fully indemnified and protected by the Fund and Nuveen & Co. from any 
liability, cost or expense arising out of or in any manner connected therewith.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be 
executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized, as of the day 
and year first above written.

     RE:  REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM N-1A
          UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
          (FILE NO. 2-70520)
          -----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc., a 
Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), in connection with the above-referenced 
Registration Statement on Form N-1A (as amended, the "Registration Statement") 
which relates to the Fund's shares of common stock, par value $.01 (the
"Shares"). This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the Fund's
filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 to the Registration Statement (the
"Amendment") with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 485(b)
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). With your permission, all
assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any
independent investigation or verification on our part except to the extent
otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the
subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

     In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, 
executed copies of the following documents:

     (a)  a certificate of the Maryland State Department of Assessments and 
          Taxation (the "Department") as to the existence and good standing of 
          the Fund;

     (b)  copies, certified by the Department, of the Fund's Charter and of all 
          amendments and all supplements thereto (the "Charter");

     (c)  a certificate executed by Karen L. Healy, the Assistant Secretary of
          the Fund, certifying as to, and attaching copies of, the Fund's
          Charter and By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws"), and certain
          resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund authorizing
          the issuance of the Shares; and

     (d)  a printer's proof, dated April 26, 1995, of the Amendment.

     In our capacity as counsel to the Fund, we have examined the originals, or 
certified, conformed or reproduced copies, of all records, agreements, 
instruments and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis 
for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations, we have assumed
the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity of all original or certified copies, and the
conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as 
conformed or reproduced copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to such
opinion, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, certificates and oral
or written statements of public officials and officers or representatives of the
Fund. We have assumed that the Amendment, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, will be in substantially the form of the printer's proof
referred to in paragraph (d) above.

     Based upon, and subject to, the limitations set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the Fund's 
Charter and for the consideration described in the Registration Statement, will 
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable under the laws of the State of 
Maryland.

     The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of 
Maryland. As to matters of Maryland law covered thereby, we have relied solely
upon the opinion of Venable, Baetjer and Howard, LLP, addressed to us and dated 
April 26, 1995.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in 
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 
Act.

          Re: Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
              -----------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special Maryland counsel to Nuveen Tax-Exempt Money 
Market Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with
the issuance of shares (the "Shares") of its common stock, par value $.01 per
share.

          We have examined the Company's Charter and Bylaws and the prospectus
with respect to the Shares included in Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 to the
Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, File Nos. 2-70520 and 811-3134
(the "Registration Statement"), substantially in the form in which it is to
become effective (the "Prospectus"). We have further examined and relied upon a
certificate of the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation to the
effect that the Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the
State of Maryland and is in good standing and duly authorized to transact
business in the State of Maryland.

          We have also examined and relied upon such corporate records of the
Company and other documents and certificates with respect to factual matters as
we have deemed necessary to render the opinion expressed herein. We have
assumed, without independent verification, the genuineness of all

signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and
the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

          Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that:

          1.  The Company is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
              under the laws of the State of Maryland.

          2.  The Shares of the Company's common stock to be offered for sale 
              pursuant to the Prospectus are, to the extent of the number of
              Shares authorized to be issued by the Company in its Charter, duly
              authorized, and, when sold, issued and paid for as contemplated by
              the Prospectus, such shares will have been validly and legally
              issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.

     This letter expresses our opinion with respect to the Maryland General
Corporation Law governing matters such as the authorization and issuance of
stock. It does not extend to the securities or "blue sky" laws of Maryland, to
federal securities laws or to other laws.

     You may rely upon this opinion in rendering your opinion to the Company to
be filed with Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 to the Registration Statement. We
consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

 a. Current Yield is calculated as follows:
 
   i. Net investment income per share for the seven
                       day period
    -------------------------------------------------   = Base Period Return
     Value of account at beginning of seven-day pe-
                          riod
 
   ii. Base Period Return X 365/7 = Current Yield
    
 b. Calculation of Current Yield for seven-day period ended February 28,
 1995:     
 
                          
                          .0006783     365          
                        ( -------- ) X --- = 3.54%             
                            1.00        7

II. Effective Yield                    
 
 a. Effective Yield is calculated as follows:
 
              (Base Period Return + 1) 365/7 - 1 = Effective Yield
    
 b. Calculation of Effective Yield for seven-day period ended February 28,
 1995:     
                                        365/7                
                        .0006783                             
                    [ ( -------- ) + 1 ]      - 1 = 3.60%            
                          1.00
 
III. Taxable Equivalent Yield
 
 a. The Taxable Equivalent Yield formula is as follows:
 
                                Tax Exempt Yield
                          -----------------------------
                          (1 - federal income tax rate)
    
 b. Based on a maximum Federal income tax rate of 39.6%, the Taxable Equiva-
  lent Yield for the seven-day period ended February 28, 1995 is as follows:
                                  
                                 
                                  3.54%
                                 ------- = 5.86%
                                 1 - .396      
 
                                                                               1

                             Reporting Requirements


The Securities and Exchange Commission, in Investment Company Act Release No.
ll42l, has adopted Rule l7j-l "to provide guidance to investment companies as to
the minimum standards of conduct appropriate for persons who have access to
information regarding the purchase and sale of portfolio securities by
investment companies."  The Rule requires registered investment companies, their
investment advisers and their principal underwriters to adopt codes of ethics
and reporting requirements to guard against violations of the standards set
forth in the Rule and the principles provided below and to establish guidelines
for the conduct of persons who (1) may obtain information concerning securities
held by or considered for purchase or sale by any series of the Nuveen Tax-
Exempt Unit Trusts (the "Trusts") or by any of the registered management
investment companies (the "Funds") or non-management investment company clients
("Clients") to which Nuveen Advisory Corp. or Nuveen Institutional Advisory
Corp. act as investment advisers or (2) who may make any recommendation or
participate in the determination of which recommendation shall be made
concerning the purchase or sale of any securities by a Trust, Fund or Client.
This Code of Ethics (the "Code") consists of six sections -- 1. Statement of
General Principles; 2. Definitions; 3. Exempted Transactions; 4. Prohibitions;
5. Reporting Requirements; and 6. Sanctions.

     I.  Statement of General Principles

     The Code is based upon the principle that the officers, directors and
     employees of a Fund, Nuveen Advisory Corp., Nuveen Institutional Advisory
     Corp., John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated and The John Nuveen Company owe a
     fiduciary duty to, among others, the unitholders and shareholders of the
     Trusts and Funds and the Clients, to conduct their personal securities
     transactions in a manner which does not interfere with Trust, Fund or
     Client portfolio transactions or otherwise take unfair advantage of their
     relationship to the Trusts, Funds or Clients.  In accordance with this
     general principle, persons covered by the Code must: (1) place the
     interests of unitholders and shareholders of the Trusts and Funds and the
<PAGE>
 
                                       2


     Clients first; (2) execute personal securities transactions in compliance
     with the Code; (3) avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest and
     any abuse of their positions of trust and responsibility; and (4) not take
     inappropriate advantage of their positions. It bears emphasis that
     technical compliance with the Code's procedures will not automatically
     insulate from scrutiny trades which show a pattern of abuse of the
     individual's fiduciary duties to the Trust, Fund or Client.

II.  Definitions

     As used herein:
 
     (l)  "Access person" shall mean any director, officer or advisory person of
          any Fund or of Nuveen Advisory Corp. or Nuveen Institutional Advisory
          Corp.

          A list of persons deemed to be access persons is attached as Exhibit
          A.

     (2)  "Advisory person" shall mean:

          (a) Any employee of a Fund, of Nuveen Advisory Corp., of Nuveen
              Institutional Advisory Corp. or of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated
              who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties,
              makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding the
              purchase or sale of securities by a Trust, Fund or Client or whose
              functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect
              to such purchases or sales; and

          (b) Any director or officer of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or The
              John Nuveen Company who in the ordinary course of business makes,
              participates in or obtains information regarding the purchase or
              sale of securities for a Trust, Fund or Client or recommendations
              made with regard to the purchase or sale of a security by a Trust,
              Fund or Client, or whose functions or duties relate to the making
              of any recommendation to a Trust, Fund or Client regarding the
              purchase or sale of securities.

     (3)  A security is "being considered for purchase or sale" when a
          recommendation to purchase or sell a security has been made and
          communicated and, with respect to the person making the
          recommendation, when such person considers making such recommendation.
<PAGE>
 
                                       3

     (4) A person will be deemed to be the "beneficial owner" of securities:

          (a)  held in his or her own name or the name of his or her spouse and 
               their minor children;

          (b)  held in a trust

               (i)   of which such person is trustee and the trustee or members 
                     of his or her immediate family have a vested interest in 
                     the income of the trust,

               (ii)  in which such person has a vested beneficial interest, or

               (iii) of which such person is settlor and which the settlor has
                     the power to revoke without consent of the beneficiaries; a
                     person will not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
                     securities held in the portfolio of a registered investment
                     company solely by reason of his or her ownership of shares
                     or units of such registered investment company;

          (c)  held in any other name if by reason of any contract,
               understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement such
               person obtains benefits substantially equivalent to those of
               ownership (e.g. the right to income from and the right to
               exercise a controlling influence over the purchase or sale of
               such securities) or would otherwise be deemed to beneficially own
               such security for purposes of determining whether such person
               would be subject to the provisions of Section l6 of the
               Securities Exchange Act of l934 and the rules and regulations
               thereunder, except that the determination of direct or indirect
               beneficial ownership shall apply to all securities which an
               access person has or acquires.

               A person will not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
               securities held in the portfolio of a registered investment
               company solely by reason of his or her ownership of shares or
               units of such registered investment company.

     (5)  "Security" shall mean any stock, bond, debenture, evidence of
          indebtedness or in general any other instrument defined to be a
          security in Section 2(a)(36) of the Investment Company Act of l940
          except that it shall not include securities issued by the Government
          of the United States, short term debt securities which are "government
          securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
          Company Act of 1940, bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of
          deposit, commercial paper and shares of registered open-end investment
          companies.
<PAGE>
 
                                       4

     (6)  "Purchase or sale of a security" shall include any transaction in
          which a beneficial interest in a security is acquired or disposed of,
          including but not limited to the writing of an option to purchase or
          sell a security.

     (7)  "Control" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 2(a) (9)
          of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     (8)  "Investment personnel" shall mean any employee of a Fund, Nuveen
          Advisory Corp. or Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. who acts as a
          portfolio manager or as an analyst or trader who provides information
          or advice to the portfolio manager or who helps execute the portfolio
          manager's decisions. A list of investment personnel is attached as
          Exhibit B.

     (9)  "Portfolio manager" shall mean any employee of a Fund, Nuveen Advisory
          Corp. or Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. who is entrusted with the
          direct responsibility and authority to make investment decisions
          affecting a Trust, Fund or Client. A list of portfolio managers is
          attached as Exhibit C.

III. Exempted Transactions

     The prohibitions of Section IV of this Code shall not apply to:

     (1)  Purchases or sales affecting any account over which the party involved
          has no direct or indirect influence or control;

     (2)  Purchases or sales of securities which are not:

          (a)  acquired in a private placement;
          (b)  shares of The John Nuveen Company;
          (c)  municipal securities; or
          (d)  shares of Nuveen-sponsored exchange-traded funds.

     (3)  Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the
          party involved or a Trust, Fund or Client;

     (4)  Purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan.
<PAGE>
 
                                       5

     (5)  Purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro
          rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such
          rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so
          acquired.

IV.  Prohibitions

     (l)  Unless such transaction is exempted above or is previously cleared in
          the manner described in paragraph (9) below, no access person shall
          purchase or sell the following securities for his or her own account
          or for any account in which he or she has any beneficial ownership:

          (a)  securities offered in a private placement;
          (b)  shares of The John Nuveen Company;
          (c)  municipal securities; or
          (d)  shares of a Nuveen-sponsored exchange-traded fund.

          The purchase of securities identified in paragraph (1)(a) by
          investment personnel must also comply with paragraph (4) below.

     (2)  No access person shall execute a securities transaction on a day
          during which a Trust, Fund or Client has a pending "buy" or "sell"
          order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn.
          Trades made in violation of this prohibition should be unwound or, if
          that is impractical, any profits realized must be disgorged to a
          charitable organization.

     (3)  Investment personnel shall not purchase any securities in an initial
          public offering except an offering of securities issued by municipal
          or United States government entities.

     (4)  Unless such transaction is previously approved in the manner described
          in paragraph (10) below and the criteria set forth in that paragraph
          are followed, investment personnel shall not purchase any security in
          a private placement.

     (5)  Investment personnel shall not profit in the purchase and sale, or
          sale and purchase, of the same (or equivalent) security within 60
          calendar days if such security is a municipal security or shares
          issued by a Nuveen-sponsored exchange-traded fund. Trades made in
          violation of this prohibition should be unwound or, if that is
          impractical, any profits realized must be disgorged to a charitable
          organization.
<PAGE>
 
                                       6

     (6)  Investment personnel shall not accept any gift or other thing of more
          than de minimis value from any person or entity that does business
          with or on behalf of a Trust, Fund or Client.  For purposes of this
          prohibition the term "de minimis value" shall have the same meaning
          expressed in the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
          Rules of Fair Practice.

     (7)  Unless such service is previously cleared in the manner described in
          paragraph (11) below and the criteria set forth in that paragraph are
          followed, investment personnel shall not serve as board members or
          other decision-makers for entities that issue municipal securities.

     (8)  No portfolio manager of a Trust, Fund or Client shall purchase or sell
          any security within seven calendar days before or after the Fund or
          Client he surveys or manages trades or considers to purchase or sell
          such security. Trades made in violation of this prohibition should be
          unwound or, if that is impractical, any profits realized must be
          disgorged to a charitable organization.

     (9)  An access person may request clearance of a transaction otherwise
          prohibited by paragraph (1) above prior to the placement of any order
          in connection therewith by submitting a written request for clearance
          to the Chairman or President of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or his
          designee, with a copy to the Legal Department.  Such request shall
          state the title and principal amount of the security proposed to be
          purchased or sold, the nature of the transaction, the price at which
          the transaction is proposed to be effected, and the name of the
          broker, dealer or bank with or through whom the transaction is
          proposed to be effected.  No such transaction may be effected without
          the prior clearance of the transaction and the price by the Chairman
          or President or his designee.  Employee transaction tickets must bear
          initials showing such clearance before processing.  Preclearance shall
          be valid for three days.  Transactions may be cleared by the Chairman
          or President or his designee only if such officer determines that the
          potential harm to any Trust, Fund or Client is highly remote or non-
          existent because such transaction would be very unlikely to affect a
          highly institutional market, or because it clearly is not related
          economically to the securities to be purchased, sold or held by any
          Trust, Fund or Client.

     (10) Investment personnel may request approval of a transaction otherwise
          prohibited by paragraph (4) above prior to the placement of any order
          in connection therewith by submitting a written request for approval
          to the Chairman or President of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or his
          designee, with a copy to the Legal Department.  Such request shall
          state the title and principal amount of the security proposed to be
          purchased or sold, the nature of the transaction, the price at which
          the transaction is proposed to be effected, and the name of the
          broker, dealer or bank with or through 
<PAGE>
 
                                       7

          whom the transaction is proposed to be effected. No such transaction
          may be effected without the prior approval of the transaction and the
          price by the Chairman or President or his designee. Employee
          transaction tickets must bear initials showing such approval before
          processing. Any approval shall be valid for three days. Transactions
          may be approved by the Chairman or President or his designee only if
          such officer takes into account, among other factors, whether the
          investment opportunity should be reserved for a Trust, Fund or Client
          and any shareholders or unitholders affected, and whether the
          opportunity is being offered to an individual by virtue of his or her
          position. In addition, Investment personnel who receive authorization
          to purchase securities in a private placement have an affirmative duty
          to disclose that position to the Chairman or President or his designee
          if he or she plays a role in a Trust's, Fund's or Client's subsequent
          investment decision regarding the same issuer. Once such disclosure is
          made, the Chairman or President or his designee shall assemble a
          commission of investment personnel with no personal interest in the
          issuer involved to independently review the Trust's, Fund's or
          Client's investment decision.

     (11) Investment Personnel may request clearance of service otherwise
          prohibited by paragraph (7) above, prior to acceptance of any such
          position, by submitting a written request for clearance to the
          Chairman or President of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or his
          designee, with a copy to the Legal Department.  Such request shall
          state the position sought, the reason service is desired and any
          possible conflicts of interest known at the time of the request. No
          such position may be accepted without the prior clearance by the
          Chairman or President or his designee.  Service may be cleared by the
          Chairman or President or his designee only if such officer determines
          that service in that capacity would be consistent with the interests
          of the Trusts, Funds or Clients and any shareholders or unitholders
          affected. In addition, Investment personnel who receive authorization
          to serve in such a capacity must be isolated through "Chinese Wall"
          procedures from those making investment decisions regarding securities
          issued by the entity involved.

V.  Reporting Requirements

     (l)  Every access person (other than directors of a Fund who are not
          "interested persons" of such Fund) shall report to the Legal
          Department of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated details of each
          transaction by reason of which he or she acquires any direct or
          indirect beneficial ownership of any security.  Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, an access person need not make a report pursuant hereto
          where such report would duplicate information recorded pursuant to
          Rules 204-2(a)(l2) or 204-2(a)(l3) under the Investment Advisers Act
          of l940.  In addition to the reporting requirement expressed above,
          every access person (including directors who are not "interested
<PAGE>
 
                                       8

          persons") shall direct his or her broker or brokers to supply to the
          Legal Department, on a timely basis, duplicate copies of confirmations
          of all securities transactions and copies of periodic statements for
          all securities accounts involving securities in which such access
          person acquires or foregoes direct or indirect beneficial ownership.

     (2)  Every director of a Fund who is not an "interested person" of such
          Fund shall be required to report the details of each transaction with
          respect to which such director knew or, in the ordinary course of
          fulfilling his or her official duties as a director of the Fund,
          should have known that during the 15 day period immediately preceding
          or after the date of the transaction in a security by the director
          such security is or was purchased or sold by the Fund or such purchase
          or sale by the Fund is or was considered by the Fund or its investment
          adviser.

     (3)  Every report required to be made pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 of
          this Section (other than duplicate copies of confirmations and
          periodic statements) shall be made not later than l0 days after the
          end of the calendar quarter in which the transaction to which the
          report relates was effected, and shall contain the following
          information:

          (a)  the date of the transaction, the title and the number of shares,
               or principal amount of each security involved;
          (b)  the nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or any other
               type of acquisition or disposition);
          (c)  the price at which the transaction was effected; and
          (d)  the name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through whom the
               transaction was effected.
