WORLDWIDE, JERSEY CHEN, LIANG-WANG HOW, CHEN-LING KONG, KUO REUIH PAN,

and SUNNY CHEN YOUNG, thru their attorney, Kimberly A. Donovan of GCA Law Partners,

requested to be excused from personally appearing and designating two representatives, individual

Defendants HENRY SHIOU-MING CHEN and DAPHNE L. CHEN, to appear on behalf of all

Defendants at the settlement conference scheduled for July 23, 2007.
