Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a-b) FAI's advisory clients are the owners of 1,546,169 shares of the Common Stock representing approximately 7.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since FAI's advisory contracts with its clients grant to FAI sole investment power over the securities owned by its advisory clients, FAI 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. Franklin Floating Rate Trust, a closed-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is an advisory client of FAI. Franklin Floating Rate Trust may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,457,241 Shares representing approximately 7.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. FAI 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 or its subsidiaries. FAI, 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, FRI, FAI, 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) There were no transactions in the shares of the Common Stock within the past sixty days, other than the ones noted in Exhibit B. (d) No person other than respective advisory clients of FAI 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. This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Schedule 13D originally filed on behalf of Franklin Advisers, Inc ("FAI") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2003 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.
