Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or more open or
closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts which are advised by
direct and indirect investment advisory subsidiaries (the "Adviser
Subsidiaries") of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such advisory contracts
grant to such Adviser Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over the
securities owned by such advisory clients. Therefore, such Adviser Subsidiaries
may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement.
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), formerly Franklin
Mutual Advisers, Inc., an indirect wholly owned investment advisory subsidiary
of FRI, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment
advisor subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment advisor
subsidiaries other than FMA are collectively referred to herein as FRI
affiliates). Furthermore, FMA and FRI internal policies and procedures 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 are each reporting the securities over which they hold investment
and voting power separately from each other.
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 shareholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed
to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, the beneficial owner of
securities held by persons and entities advised by FRI subsidiaries. FRI, the
Principal Shareholders and each of the Adviser Subsidiaries disclaim any
economic interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities covered by
this statement.
FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Adviser Subsidiaries are of the
view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under
the 1934 Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other
the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by any of them or by any persons
or entities advised by FRI subsidiaries.
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned:
519,200
(b) Percent of Class:
6.6%
(c) Number of Shares as to which such person has:
(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote
Franklin Resources, Inc.: 0
Charles B. Johnson: 0
Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0
Franklin Advisory Services, LLC: 519,200
(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote
(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
Franklin Resources, Inc.: 0
Charles B. Johnson: 0
Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0
Franklin Advisory Services, LLC: 519,200
(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class If this statement is being
filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has
ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of
securities, check the following [ ].
Not Applicable
Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person
The clients of the Adviser Subsidiaries, including investment companies
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts,
have the right to receive dividends from as well as the proceeds from the sale
of such securities reported on in this statement. Franklin Microcap Value Fund,
a series of Franklin Value Investors Trust, a company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, has an interest in more than 5% of the class of
securities reported on herein.

Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company
Franklin Advisory Services, LLC 3(e)
Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group
Not Applicable
Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group
Not Applicable
Item 10. Certification
By signing below, we certify that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the
securities referred to above were acquired in the ordinary course of business
and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of changing
or influencing the control of the issuer of such securities and were not
acquired in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such
purposes or effect.
This report shall not be construed as an admission by the persons filing the
report that they are the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this
report.
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we certify
that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
