Item 4 Ownership
The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more
registered investment companies or other managed accounts that are
investment management clients of Royce & Associates, LP ("RALP"), an
indirect majority owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.("FRI").
When an investment management contract (including a sub advisory
agreement) delegates to RALP investment discretion or voting power over
the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are
subject to that agreement, FRI treats RALP as having sole investment
discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the
agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, RALP 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, RALP 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
RALP are exercised independently from FRI (RALP's parent holding
company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI
(FRI, its affiliates and investment management subsidiaries other than
RALP are, collectively, "FRI affiliates"). Furthermore, internal
policies and procedures of RALP and FRI affiliates establish
informational barriers that prevent the flow between RALP 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, RALP 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 RALP exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its
investment management clients independently of FRI affiliates,
beneficial ownership of the securities reported by RALP is not
attributed to the Principal Shareholders. RALP 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 RALP 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, RALP 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 RALP or the FRI affiliates provide investment
management services.
