Supplement to the Prospectuses dated July 29, 2008, as supplemented, and February 28, 2009

Participation in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds

Each Fund has elected to extend its participation in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) offered by the United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) until the Program expires on September 18, 2009. To participate in the Program extension period (May 1, 2009 to September 18, 2009), each Fund will pay a fee of 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, in the event that a Fund’s per share value falls below $0.995 and the Fund liquidates its holdings, the Program guarantees shareholders of record at the close of business on September 19, 2008 (“Designated Shareholders”) of that Fund $1.00 per share for the lesser of either the number of shares the Designated Shareholder held in the Fund at the close of business on September 19, 2008, or the number of shares the Designated Shareholder held in the Fund on the date the Fund’s per share value fell below $0.995. The Program applies only to Designated Shareholders who maintain an account with a Fund from the close of business on September 19, 2008 through the date on which the Fund’s per share value falls below $0.995, if this were to occur, or the date on which the Program terminates. Designated Shareholders may purchase and redeem shares in their account during the period covered by the Program. However, the number of shares covered by the guarantee cannot exceed the number of shares a Designated Shareholder held in the Fund at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Thus, to the extent the overall value of a shareholder’s account with the Fund increases after September 19, 2008, the amount of the increase will not be covered by the guarantee.
 
The Secretary of the U.S. Treasury does not have authority to extend the Program for any additional amount of time. Assets available to the Program to support all participating money market funds is limited to the amount available for payment within the Exchange Stabilization Fund (“ESF”), as determined by the U.S. Treasury in its sole and absolute discretion, and payments under the Program are dependent on the availability of assets in the ESF at the time a request for payment is made. Payments will be made on a first-come-first-served basis. More information about the Program is available at http://www.ustreas.gov. The U.S. Treasury has not in any manner approved, endorsed, sponsored or authorized this prospectus supplement, the prospectuses referred to above, or the Funds.
