Item 4.

Ownership

 

 

The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by

 

one or more open-end investment companies or other managed accounts which,

 

pursuant to investment management contracts, are managed by Franklin Mutual

 

Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin

 

Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such investment management contracts grant to FMA all

 

investment and voting power over the securities owned by such investment

 

management clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule

 

13d-3 under the Act, the beneficial owner of the Securities.

 

 

Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other

 

affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines

 

articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998)

 

relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting

 

and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from

 

each other. The voting and investment powers held by FMA are exercised

 

independently from FRI (FMA’s parent holding company) and from all other

 

investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment

 

management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”).

 

Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish

 

informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI

 

affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers

 

over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients.

 

Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they

 

hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of

 

Section 13 of the Act.

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders")

 

each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the

 

principal stockholders of FRI. However, because FMA exercises voting and

 

investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently

 

of FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and their respective affiliates,

 

beneficial ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is being

 

attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the

 

Securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of FMA

 

should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it

 

is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Securities.

 

 

 

Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI, the Principal

 

Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d-5

 

under the Act and that none of them are otherwise required to attribute to

 

each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or

 

by any persons or entities for whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide

 

investment management services.

the receipt of dividends from, as well as the proceeds from the sale
