          Item 4. Ownership

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

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

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

          Inc. ("FRI"). When an investment management contract (including a sub‑advisory

          agreement) delegates to FMA investment discretion or voting power over the securities

          held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats

          FMA as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless

          the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, FMA 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, FMA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of

          the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

          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 affiliates 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 affiliates, beneficial ownership of

          the securities reported by FMA is not attributed to the Principal Shareholders. FMA

          disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G. 

          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 such securities.

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

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

          Act and that none of them is otherwise required to attribute to any other the beneficial

          ownership of the securities held by such person or by any persons or entities for whom

          or for which FMA or the FRI affiliates provide investment management

          services.

                            percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ]. 

          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, and

                            the proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported herein.

              Franklin Small Cap Value Fund, a series of Franklin Value Investors Trust, an

              investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, has an

              interest in 825,710 shares, or 5.7%, of the class of securities reported herein.
