Item 4. Ownership

The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open or closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment advisory clients of investment advisers that are direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Adviser Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Adviser Subsidiaries”) of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI”), including the Adviser Subsidiaries listed in Item 7. Advisory contracts grant to the Adviser Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over the securities owned by such advisory clients, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. Therefore, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Adviser Subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Securities.

Beneficial ownership by investment advisory 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 Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly-owned Adviser Subsidiary, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other Adviser Subsidiaries (FRI, its affiliates and the Adviser 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 advisory 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. 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 advised by FRI subsidiaries. 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 Adviser

13G

PAGE 7 OF 12

Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI and FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Securities.

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Adviser 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 advised by FRI subsidiaries.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

_________________________

Franklin Templeton Portfolio Advisors, Inc. (FTPA) may beneficially own these securities pursuant to various separately managed account investment management arrangements. Under these arrangements, each underlying client may, from time to time, either retain, delegate to FTPA entirely, or delegate to FTPA only with respect to certain matters, the power to vote such securities. To the extent that FTPA has voting power over any such securities, it has sole voting power. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an underlying client retains voting power over any shares, FTPA disclaims any power to vote or direct the vote of such securities.
