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.

Page 5 of 7

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.
