(1) As of the business day prior to the Date of Deposit. Units are offered at
    the Public Offering Price plus accrued interest.
(2) All figures as of the business day prior to the Date of Deposit. Figures in
    brackets represent the current return. The first year's estimated current
    returns are slightly lower than those for subsequent years because a portion
    of the monies received in the first year only will be treated as a return of
    principal due to the inclusion in the portfolio of "when issued" or other
    Bonds having delivery dates after the date of settlement for a purchase made
    on the Date of Deposit.
(3) In contrast to Estimated Current Return, Estimated Long Term Return reflects
    the amortization of premium or accretion of discount, if any, on the bonds
    in the Trust's portfolio.

REINVESTMENT OPTIONS   Specify automatic reinvestment of trust income, with no
sales charge, to earn compounded dividends with Nuveen mutual funds.

  * Record Dates for semi-annual distributions are May 1 and November 1; for quarterly distributions, they are February 1, May 1,
    August 1 and November 1. Record Dates for monthly distributions are the first day of each month.
(1) The first distribution will be paid to all Unitholders, regardless of the distribution plan selected. Such distribution may
    be more or less than a regular monthly distribution.
(2) The second distribution under the quarterly distribution plan represents a 2-month distribution; subsequent quarterly
    distributions will be regular 3-month distributions.
(3) The second distribution under the semi-annual distribution plan represents a 5-month distribution; subsequent semi-annual
    distributions will be regular 6-month distributions.
</TABLE>
 
+ Interest for Unitholders of this series began to accrue as of the Date of
Deposit. Units purchased on the Date of Deposit will have $.12 of accrued
interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
After provision for expenses of the Fund, the daily rate of accrual from the
Date of Deposit to the first Record Date is $.01653 per unit per day.
Consequently, on the first Record Date (06/01/94), accrued interest will total
$0.3306 per unit for the 20-day period. All interest accrued from the Date of
Deposit to the first Record Date, less expenses, will be distributed on the
first Distribution Date to Unitholders of Record as of the first Record Date.
The first payment to all Unitholders of Record on 06/01/94 is $.3306 per unit.
After the first Record Date daily rates of accrual are:
              Monthly - $0.01653              Quarterly - $0.01662

Deposit. Units purchased on the Date of Deposit will have $.11 of accrued
interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
After provision for expenses of the Fund, the daily rate of accrual from the
Date of Deposit to the first Record Date is $.01628 per unit per day.
Consequently, on the first Record Date (06/01/94), accrued interest will total
$0.3256 per unit for the 20-day period. All interest accrued from the Date of
Deposit to the first Record Date, less expenses, will be distributed on the
first Distribution Date to Unitholders of Record as of the first Record Date.
The first payment to all Unitholders of Record on 06/01/94 is $.3256 per unit.
After the first Record Date daily rates of accrual are:
              Monthly - $0.01628              Quarterly - $0.01637
                             Semi-Annual - $0.01642
This daily rate of accrual, and the annual distributions shown above, will
remain the same as long as the portfolio size and composition remain the same.

BONDS INSURED BY MBIA   Each bond in this Nuveen Insured series has been
insured* by the Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation, which guarantees
timely payments of principal and interest. Premium payments have been fully paid
by the Date of Deposit.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
CALL PROTECTION   Bonds are first subject to optional redemption by the issuers
in the years and at the prices shown under the Redemption Provisions column in
the Schedule of Investments. Unless otherwise stated, in subsequent years, bonds
are redeemable at declining prices, but not usually below par value. Some issues
or some portions of issues may also be subject to sinking fund redemption or
extraordinary redemption without premium prior to the dates shown.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
NO CHARGE FOR REDEMPTION   The Trustee, United States Trust Company of New York,
will redeem units at net asset value. In addition, John Nuveen & Co.
Incorporated intends to maintain a secondary market for this Nuveen Tax-Exempt
Unit Trust. Inasmuch as all securities investments are subject to market price
fluctuation, net asset value at the time of redemption could be more or less
than the initial investment.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
REINVESTMENT OPTIONS   Specify automatic reinvestment of trust income, with no
sales charge, to earn compounded dividends with Nuveen mutual funds.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
* Insurance relates specifically to the bonds and not to the units or to the
  market value of units. Terms of the insurance are more fully described in the
  prospectus. No representation is made as to the insurer's ability to meet its
  commitments. See Section 5 of the prospectus for details.

+ Interest for Unitholders of this series began to accrue as of the Date of
Deposit. Units purchased on the Date of Deposit will have $.11 of accrued
interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
After provision for expenses of the Fund, the daily rate of accrual from the
Date of Deposit to the first Record Date is $.01559 per unit per day.
Consequently, on the first Record Date (06/01/94), accrued interest will total
$0.3118 per unit for the 20-day period. All interest accrued from the Date of
Deposit to the first Record Date, less expenses, will be distributed on the
first Distribution Date to Unitholders of Record as of the first Record Date.
The first payment to all Unitholders of Record on 06/01/94 is $.3118 per unit.

BONDS INSURED BY MBIA   Each bond in this Nuveen Insured series has been
insured* by the Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation, which guarantees
timely payments of principal and interest. Premium payments have been fully paid
by the Date of Deposit.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
CALL PROTECTION   Bonds are first subject to optional redemption by the issuers
in the years and at the prices shown under the Redemption Provisions column in
the Schedule of Investments. Unless otherwise stated, in subsequent years, bonds
are redeemable at declining prices, but not usually below par value. Some issues
or some portions of issues may also be subject to sinking fund redemption or
extraordinary redemption without premium prior to the dates shown.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
NO CHARGE FOR REDEMPTION   The Trustee, United States Trust Company of New York,
will redeem units at net asset value. In addition, John Nuveen & Co.
Incorporated intends to maintain a secondary market for this Nuveen Tax-Exempt
Unit Trust. Inasmuch as all securities investments are subject to market price
fluctuation, net asset value at the time of redemption could be more or less
than the initial investment.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
REINVESTMENT OPTIONS   Specify automatic reinvestment of trust income, with no
sales charge, to earn compounded dividends with Nuveen mutual funds.
 
- -------------------------------------------------
 
* Insurance relates specifically to the bonds and not to the units or to the
  market value of units. Terms of the insurance are more fully described in the
  prospectus. No representation is made as to the insurer's ability to meet its
  commitments. See Section 5 of the prospectus for details.
