ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP.
The information contained in Items 5 through 11 on the cover pages
hereto (pages 2 through 4 hereof) is incorporated herein by reference.
DMI may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common
Stock of Franklin beneficially owned by Crescent by reason of the
ownership by DMI of 100 percent of the capital stock of Crescent.
GreenLight serves as principal investment manager to Crescent, and as
such has been granted investment discretion over investments including
the Franklin Common Stock. As a result of its role as investment
manager to Crescent, GreenLight may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of Franklin
Common Stock held by Crescent. However, GreenLight does not have the
right to receive any dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Franklin Common Stock held by Crescent and disclaims any ownership
associated with such rights.
Accordingly, for the purposes of this Statement: (i) Crescent is
reporting that it has the power solely to vote or direct the vote and
the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the total of
1,932,368 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it; (ii) DMI is
reporting that it shares the power to vote or direct the vote and the
power to dispose or direct the disposition of the total of 1,932,368
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it; and (iii) GreenLight
is reporting

that it has the power solely to vote or direct the vote and the power
to dispose or direct the disposition of the total of 1,932,368 shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by it.
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
