(e) Investment Adviser
Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or
more open-end investment companies or other managed accounts which,
pursuant to advisory contracts, are advised by Franklin Mutual
Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), formerly Franklin Mutual Advisers, Inc., an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.
("FRI"). Such advisory contracts grant to FMA all investment and
voting power over the securities owned by such advisory clients.
Therefore, FMA 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 FMA are exercised independently from
FRI, its parent holding company, 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 each report 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. However,
because FMA exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its
advisory 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 economic interest or beneficial ownership in any
of the securities covered by this statement.
Furthermore, FMA is of the view that it is not acting as a "group"
with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective
affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act and
that none of them are 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:
3,110,285
(b) Percent of Class:
5.4%
(c) Number of Shares as to which such person has:
(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote

(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote

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 Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, 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.

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.
