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.

Item 6.

Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person

 

 

The clients of Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, including investment

 

companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other

 

managed accounts, have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt

 

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

 

securities reported on in this statement.
