This Amendment No. 2 relates to the Schedule 13D originally
filed on behalf of Franklin Advisory Services, LLC ("FASI") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 5, 1999, as
amended on March 3, 2000. The text of items 5 and 7 of said
Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as
follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a-b) FASI's advisory clients are the owners of 171,000 shares of
the Common Stock representing approximately 3.4% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. Since FASI's advisory contracts with its
clients grant to FASI sole investment power over the securities
owned by its advisory clients, FASI may be deemed to be, for
purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), the
beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement.
FASI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.
("FRI"). 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 therefore 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. However, no investment advisory personnel of
FRI subsidiaries other than FASI's are involved in the investment
management decisions of FASI. Moreover, FASI, FRI and the Principal
Shareholders each disclaim any economic interest or beneficial
ownership in any of the securities covered by this statement owned
by advisory clients of FRI subsidiaries.
Furthermore, FASI, FRI and the Principal Shareholders 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.
(c) All transactions in the shares of the Common Stock within the
past sixty days are listed on Exhibit B attached hereto.
(d) No person other than respective advisory clients of FASI have
the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of the securities being
reported herein.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits
Exhibit B Summary of Transactions Within the Last Sixty Days
After reasonable inquiry, and to the best of my knowledge and
belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement
is true, complete, and correct.
