Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 22, 2008, the Company received a notification letter (the "Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ"), notifying the Company that NASDAQ has suspended, for a three-month period, effective October 16, 2008, the enforcement of the rule requiring a minimum bid price and market value of publicly held shares (the "Rule"). NASDAQ has said that it will not take any action to delist any security for these concerns during the suspension period. NASDAQ has stated that, given the current extraordinary market conditions, this suspension will remain in effect through Friday, January 16, 2009 and that the Rule will be reinstated on Monday, January 19, 2009, and the first relevant trade date will be Tuesday, January 20, 2009.
The Company received a Staff Deficiency Letter from NASDAQ on August 20, 2008 indicating that the minimum bid price of the company's common stock had fallen below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, and that it was therefore not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(b). The notice further provided that in accordance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until February 17, 2009, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
The Company had 124 calendar days remaining in its compliance period as of October 16, 2008, the effective date of NASDAQ's suspension. Upon reinstatement of the rules on January 19, 2009, the Company will have the same number of days remaining, or until May 26, 2009, to regain compliance. The Company may regain compliance, either during the suspension or during the compliance period resuming after the suspension, by achieving a $1.00 closing bid price for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.
During this interim period, the Company's common stock is expected to continue to trade on The NASDAQ Global Market. If compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(b) cannot be demonstrated by May 26, 2009, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Global Market.

The Company intends to use all reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, but there can be no guarantee that the Company will regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, or will be able to demonstrate a plan to sustain compliance in order to avoid delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market.
The full text of the Company's notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market is filed with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
