Rather, it may make an appraisal of, and determine on an individual basis, the suitability for continued listing of an issue in the light of all pertinent facts whenever it deems such action appropriate, even though a security meets or fails to meet any enumerated criteria.'

2. The Exchange, on May 11, 2007, determined that the Securities should be suspended immediately from trading, and directed the preparation and filing with the Commission of this application for the removal of the Securities from listing and registration on the Exchange. The Company was notified by letter on May 11, 2007.

3. Pursuant to the above authorization, a press release was immediately issued and an announcement was made on the 'ticker' of the Exchange immediately and at the close of the trading session on May 11, 2007, of the suspension of trading in the Securities. Similar information was included on the Exchange's website.

4.  The Company had a right to appeal to the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation the determination to delist its Securities, provided that it filed a written request for such a review with the Secretary of the Exchange within ten business days of receiving notice of delisting determination. The Company did not file such request within the specified time period.

The Exchange also notifies the Securities and Exchange Commission that as a result of the above indicated conditions these securities were suspended from trading on May 11, 2007.
