committee and audit committee experts.

Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller) and the Standards of Business Conduct, which are applicable to all Trustees, directors,

www.nu.com/investors/corporate_gov/default.asp on the Internet. Any amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics and
Standards of Business Conduct for executive officers, directors or Trustees will be posted on the website. Any such amendment or
waiver would require the prior consent of the Board of Trustees or an applicable committee thereof.
Printed copies of the Code of Ethics and the Standards of Business Conduct are also available to any shareholder without charge upon
