It was detected at a 0.5 – 10 keV flux of 2.2× 10?12 erg cm?2 s?1 during the Suzaku observation conducted on 2006 January 15 – 17, but was undetectable in a shorter observation on 2005 August 22 –23, with an upper limit of 1.7×10?14 erg cm?2 s?1 (90% confidence level). At a distance of 3.7 Mpc, the bolometric luminosity of the source becomes Lbol = 4.4× 1039α erg s?1, where α = (cos 60?/ cos i) and i is the disk inclination. Therefore, the source is classified into so-called ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). The time-averaged X-ray spectrum of the source is described by a multi-color disk model, with the innermost accretion disk temperature of Tin = 1.69 +0.06 ?0.05 keV. During the 2006 January observation, it varied by a factor of 2 in intensity, following a clear correlation of Lbol ∝ T 4in. It is inferred that the innermost disk radius Rin stayed constant at Rin =79 +4.0 ?3.9α 1/2 km, suggest
