(a)
 
In addition, certain selected securities dealers or other financial intermediaries may charge clients a processing fee when a client buys or redeems shares. For example, Merrill Lynch generally charges a fee of $5.35 when a client buys or redeems shares. Also, PFPC Inc., the transfer agent, charges a fee of $7.50 for redemption payments made by wire transfer and $15 for redemption by check sent via overnight mail. See “Your Account — How to Buy, Sell, Transfer and Exchange Shares.”

4

(b)
 
Investor B shares automatically convert to Investor A shares approximately ten years after you buy them and will no longer be subject to distribution fees. As of October 2, 2006, Investor B shares generally are no longer available for purchase but continue to be available for exchanges and for dividend and capital gain reinvestment. See “Your Account — How to Buy, Sell, Transfer and Exchange Shares.”

(c)
 
As of October 2, 2006, Investor C1 shares generally are no longer available for purchase but continue to be available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment.

(d)
 
Some investors may qualify for reductions in or waivers of the sales charge (load). See “Your Account — Pricing of Shares.”

(e)
 
You may pay a deferred sales charge if you purchase $1 million or more and you redeem within 18 months.

(f)
 
The Investment Adviser may waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in connection with the Fund’s investment in an affiliated money market fund.   For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, there was no impact to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.

(g)
 
If you hold Investor B, Investor C or Investor C1 shares over time, it may cost you more in distribution and service (12b-1) fees than the maximum sales charge that you would have paid if you had bought Investor A shares.

(h)
 
PFPC Inc., an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, provides transfer agency services to the Fund. The Fund pays a fee for these services. The Investment Adviser or its affiliates also provide certain accounting services to the Fund and the Fund reimburses the Investment Adviser or its affiliates for such services.

(i)
 
The Fund is required to report interest expenses associated with certain Fund investments.  Such interest expense for the Fund for the most recent fiscal year (as reported in the Fund’s restated audited financial statements) was approximately 0.29%.  However, the Fund did not actually pay such interest expense, and, therefore, such interest expense is not included in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.

(j)
 
The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets given in the Fund’s restated annual report, which does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and have also been restated to reflect a change in methodology for calculating transfer agency fees.
 

 
Examples:
 
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Insured Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
 
These examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Insured Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, that you pay the sales charges, if any, that apply to the particular class and that the Insured Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. These assumptions are not meant to indicate you will receive a 5% annual rate of return. Your annual return may be more or less than the 5% used in these examples. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

(f)
 
The Investment Adviser may waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in connection with the Fund’s investment in an affiliated money market fund. Taking this waiver into account and including Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expense ratios would be 0.81%, 1.34%, 1.65%, 1.38% and 0.59% for Investor A, Investor B, Investor C, Investor C1 and Institutional shares, respectively.

(g)
 
If you hold Investor B, Investor C or Investor C1 shares over time, it may cost you more in distribution and service (12b-1) fees than the maximum sales charge that you would have paid if you had bought Investor A shares.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses have been restated to reflect a change in methodology for calculating transfer agency fees.

The Financial Highlights tables for the Insured Fund and the National Fund are deleted and replaced with the following:
 
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Financial Highlights table is intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the periods shown.  Certain information reflects the financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the indicated Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends).  The information (except with respect to the periods ended December 31, 2006) has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, whose report, along with each Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Corporation’s Annual Report (as restated), which is available upon request.

Supplement Dated July 25, 2007 to
Statement of Additional Information Dated October 2, 2006
 
 
The Information in Section X. Financial Statements in Part I of the Statement of Additional Information is replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
The audited financial statements of each of the Insured Fund, National Fund and Short-Term Fund of the Corporation, including the report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are incorporated in the Corporation’s Statement of Additional Information by reference to the Corporation’s amended Annual Report on Form N-CSR of the Corporation for the year ended June 30, 2006.  You may request a copy of the amended Annual Report at no charge by calling 1-800-441-7762 between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday.
 
The following changes are made to Part II of the Statement of Additional Information effective March 6, 2007.
 
The information in the section entitled “Purchase of Shares — Distribution Plans — Other Compensation to Selling Dealers” on page II-52 of the Statement of Additional Information  is replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
Other Compensation to Selling Dealers
Pursuant to each Fund’s Distribution Agreements and Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”), each Fund may pay FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”), BlackRock Distributors, Inc. (“BDI”) and/or BlackRock or any other affiliate of BlackRock fees for distribution and sales support services. In addition, each Fund may pay to brokers, dealers, financial institutions and industry professionals (including BlackRock, Merrill Lynch, Hilliard Lyons and their affiliates) (collectively, “Service Organizations”) fees for the provision of personal services to shareholders. In the past, BlackRock has retained a portion of the shareholder servicing fees paid by a Fund.
 
With respect to Class R Shares, the distribution fees payable under the Plan are used to pay commissions and other fees payable to Service Organizations and other broker/dealers who sell Class R Shares.
 
With respect to Investor B and Investor B1 Shares, Service Organizations and other broker/dealers receive commissions from FAMD or BDI for selling Investor B Shares, which are paid at the time of the sale. The distribution fees payable under the Plans are intended to cover the expense to FAMD or BDI of paying such up-front commissions, as well as to cover ongoing commission payments to broker/dealers. The contingent deferred sales charge is calculated to charge the investor with any shortfall that would occur if Investor B or Investor B1 Shares are redeemed prior to the expiration of the conversion period, after which Investor B and Investor B1 Shares automatically convert to Investor A and Investor A1 Shares, respectively.
 
With respect to Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares, Service Organizations and other broker/dealers receive commissions from FAMD or BDI for selling Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares, which are paid at the time of the sale. The distribution fees payable under the Plans are intended to cover the expense to FAMD or BDI of paying such up-front commissions, as well as to cover ongoing commission payments to the broker/dealers. The contingent deferred sales charge is calculated to charge the investor with any shortfall that would occur if Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
From time to time FAMD, BDI and/or BlackRock and their affiliates may voluntarily waive receipt of distribution fees under the Plans, which waivers may be terminated at any time.
 
18

Each Fund currently does not make distribution payments with respect to Investor A, Investor A1, Service or Institutional Shares under the applicable Plans. However, the Plans permit FAMD, BDI, BlackRock and their affiliates to make payments relating to distribution and sales support activities out of their past profits or other sources available to them (and not as an additional charge to a Fund). From time to time, FAMD, BDI, BlackRock or their affiliates may compensate affiliated and unaffiliated Service Organizations for the sale and distribution of shares of a Fund or for services to a Fund and its shareholders. These non-Plan payments would be in addition to the Fund payments described in this Statement of Additional Information for distribution and shareholder servicing. These non-Plan payments may take the form of, among other things, “due diligence” payments for a dealer’s examination of a Fund and payments for providing extra employee training and information relating to a Fund; “listing” fees for the placement of the Fund on a dealer’s list of mutual funds available for purchase by its customers; “finders” or “referral” fees for directing investors to a Fund; “marketing support” fees for providing assistance in promoting the sale of the Fund shares; payments for the sale of shares and/or the maintenance of share balances; CUSIP fees; maintenance fees; and set-up fees regarding the establishment of new accounts. The payments made by FAMD, BDI, BlackRock and their affiliates may be a fixed dollar amount or may be based on a percentage of the value of shares sold to, or held by, customers of the Service Organization involved, and may be different for different Service Organizations. The payments described above are made from FAMD’s, BDI’s, BlackRock’s or their affiliates’ own assets pursuant to agreements with Service Organizations and do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of a Fund’s shares or the amount a Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales.
 
The payments described above may be made, at the discretion of FAMD, BDI, BlackRock or their affiliates to Service Organizations in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares. Pursuant to applicable NASD regulations, the details of certain of these payments, including the Service Organizations receiving such payments in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares, are required to be disclosed. As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the following Service Organizations are receiving such payments: Citigroup, Fidelity, Merrill Lynch, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Linsco/Private Ledger, Wachovia Securities, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., AXA Advisors, LLC, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., MetLife Securities, Inc., Walnut Street Securities Inc., New England Securities Corporation and Tower Square Securities Inc. The level of payments made to these Service Organizations in any year will vary and normally will not exceed the sum of (a) 0.25% of such year’s Fund sales by that Service Organization and (b) 0.11% of the assets attributable to that Service Organization invested in a Fund.
 
In lieu of payments pursuant to the foregoing, FAMD, BDI, BlackRock, PFPC or their affiliates may make payments to the above-named Service Organizations of an agreed-upon amount that will not exceed the amount that would have been payable pursuant to the formula, and may also make similar payments to other Service Organizations.
 
If investment advisers, distributors or affiliates of mutual funds pay bonuses and incentives in differing amounts, financial firms and their financial consultants may have financial incentives for recommending a particular mutual fund over other mutual funds. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a financial firm and its financial consultants may also have a financial incentive for recommending a particular share class over other share classes. You should consult your financial adviser and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by your financial adviser for more information about the payments described above.
 
Furthermore, FAMD, BDI, BlackRock and their affiliates may contribute to various non-cash and cash incentive arrangements to promote the sale of shares, and may sponsor various contests and promotions subject to applicable NASD regulations in which participants may receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise and cash. Subject to applicable NASD regulations, FAMD, BDI, BlackRock and their affiliates may also (i) pay for the travel expenses, meals, lodging and entertainment of broker/dealers, financial institutions and their salespersons in connection with educational and sales promotional programs, (ii) sponsor speakers, educational seminars and charitable events and (iii) provide other sales and marketing conferences and other resources to broker/dealers, financial institutions and their salespersons.
 
BlackRock, Inc., the parent company of BlackRock, has agreed to pay PNC Bank, National Association and PNC Bank, Delaware (including Hilliard Lyons Asset Management, Wealth Management, Hawthorn and Institutional Investment Group) fees for administration and servicing with respect to assets of a Fund attributable to shares held by customers of such entities. These assets are predominantly in the Institutional Share Class of a Fund, with respect to which the Fund does not pay shareholder servicing fees under a Plan.
 
Service Organizations may charge their clients additional fees for account-related services. Service Organizations may charge their customers a service fee in connection with the purchase or redemption of Fund shares. The amount and applicability of such a fee is determined and disclosed to its customers by each individual Service Organization. Service fees typically are fixed, nominal dollar amounts and are in addition to the sales and other charges described in the Prospectuses and this Statement of Additional Information. Your Service Organization will provide you with specific information about any service fees you will be charged.
 
19

Pursuant to the Plans, each Fund may enter into service arrangements with Service Organizations pursuant to which Service Organizations will render certain support services to their customers (“Customers”) who are the beneficial owners of Service, Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C, Investor C1, Investor C2 and Class R Shares of each Fund. Such services will be provided to Customers who are the beneficial owners of Shares of such classes and are intended to supplement the services provided by a Fund’s Manager, Administrator and/or transfer agent to the Fund’s shareholders of record. In consideration for payment of a service fee on shares of each class owned beneficially by their Customers, Service Organizations may provide general shareholder liaison services, including, but not limited to (i) answering customer inquiries regarding account status and history, the manner in which purchases, exchanges and redemptions of shares may be effected and certain other matters pertaining to the Customers’ investments; and (ii) assisting Customers in designating and changing dividend options, account designations and addresses. To the extent a shareholder is not associated with a Service Organization, the shareholder servicing fees will be paid to BlackRock, and BlackRock will provide services.
 
In addition to, rather than in lieu of, distribution and shareholder servicing fees that a Fund may pay to a Service Organization pursuant to the Plans and fees the Fund pays to its transfer agent, a Fund may enter into non-Plan agreements with Service Organizations pursuant to which the Fund will pay a Service Organization for administrative, networking, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and shareholder services. These non-Plan payments are generally based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of Fund shareholders serviced by a Service Organization or (2) a fixed dollar amount for each account serviced by a Service Organization. The aggregate amount of these payments may be substantial. From time to time, BlackRock, FAMD, BDI or their affiliates also may pay a portion of the fees for administrative, networking, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and shareholder services described above at its or their own expense and out of its or their legitimate profits.

Item 24.    Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with the Registrant.
 
The Fund does not control and is not under common control with any person.
 
Item 25.    Indemnification.
 
Reference is made to Article VI of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, Article VI of the Registrant’s By-Laws, Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Section 9 of each Distribution Agreement.
 
Insofar as the conditional advancing of indemnification moneys for actions based on the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), may be concerned, Article VI of the Registrant’s By-Laws provides that such payments will be made only on the following conditions: (i) advances may be made only on receipt of a written affirmation of such person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct has not been met; and (ii)(a) such promise must be secured by a security for the undertaking in form and amount acceptable to the Registrant, (b) the Registrant is insured against losses arising by receipt of the advance, or (c) a majority of a quorum of the Registrant’s disinterested non-party Directors, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based upon a review of readily available facts, that at the time the advance is proposed to be made, there is reason to believe that the person seeking indemnification will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification.
 
In Section 9 of each Distribution Agreement relating to the securities being offered hereby, the Registrant agrees to indemnify the Distributor and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), against certain types of civil liabilities arising in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant and the principal underwriter pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 a Director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant and the principal underwriter in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person or the principal underwriter in connection with the shares 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Item 26.    Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser.
 
(a) BlackRock Advisors, LLC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc.  BlackRock Advisors, LLC was organized in 1994 for the purpose of providing advisory services to investment companies. The information required by this Item 26 about officers and directors of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, together with information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature engaged in by such officers and directors during the past two years, is incorporated by reference to Schedules A and D of Form ADV, filed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (SEC File No. 801-47710).
 
(b) BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BIM currently offers investment advisory services to investment companies, individual investors and institutional investors such as pension and profit-sharing plans or trusts, insurance companies and banks. The information required by this Item 26 about officers and directors of BIM, together with information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature engaged in by such officers and directors during the past two years, is incorporated by reference to Schedules A and D of Form ADV, filed by BIM pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (SEC File No. 801-56972).
