          Item 4.  Ownership

 

          The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more open or closed end

     investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of

     investment managers that are direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Investment

     Management Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Investment Management Subsidiaries”) of

     Franklin Resources Inc. (“FRI”), including the Investment Management Subsidiaries listed

     in this Item 4.  When an investment management contract (including a sub advisory

     agreement) delegates to an Investment Management Subsidiary investment discretion or

     voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are

     subject to that agreement, FRI treats the Investment Management Subsidiary as having sole

     investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement

     specifies otherwise. Accordingly, each Investment Management Subsidiary reports on

     Schedule 13G that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the

     securities covered by any such investment management agreement, unless otherwise noted in

     this Item 4.  As a result, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Investment

     Management Subsidiaries listed in this Item 4 may be deemed to be the beneficial owners

     of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

 

     Beneficial ownership by Investment Management Subsidiaries and other FRI affiliates is

     being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release

     No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “1998 Release”) 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

     each of FRI’s affiliates whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of FRI

     in accordance with the 1998 Release (“FRI Disaggregated Affiliates”) are exercised

     independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management Subsidiaries (FRI, its

     affiliates and the Investment Management Subsidiaries other than FRI Disaggregated

     Affiliates are collectively, “FRI Aggregated Affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies

     and procedures of, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates, and, on the other hand,

     FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow among, on the one hand, FRI

     Disaggregated Affiliates (including preventing the flow between such entities), and, on

     the other hand, the FRI Aggregated Affiliates of information that relates to the voting

 


 

          CUSIP NO. 45826T301                    13G                               Page 8 of 14

 

          and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management

     clients.

 

     Consequently, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates report the securities over which they hold

     investment and voting power separately from the FRI Aggregated Affiliates 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.  FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule

          13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for

          whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services.  The number of

          shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of

          which such shares are a part are reported in Items 9 and 11 of the cover pages for FRI

          and each of the Principal Shareholders.  FRI, the Principal Shareholders and each of the

          Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of such

          securities.  In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal

          Shareholders, FRI and the FRI Aggregated Affiliates, as applicable, should not be

     construed as an admission that any of them is, and each of them disclaims that it is, the

     beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the securities reported in this

     Schedule 13G.

 

          FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries

          believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and

          that they are not 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

          the Investment Management Subsidiaries provide investment management services.
