Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This statement constitutes Amendment #12 to the schedule 13d
filed March 8, 2012. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the Schedule 13d remains unmodified.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
On July 28, 2017, Bulldog Investors, LLC entered into a Securities
Acquisition Agreement with PJC Investments, LLC (“PJC”) and Triax
Capital Advisors LLC, whereby PJC, pursuant to its authority under
certain Master Transaction Agreements by and among the Issuer, PJC
and consenting convertible note holders in connection with a
recapitalization of the Issuer (the “Recapitalization”), agreed
to designate certain affiliates of Bulldog Investors as investor
parties to certain operative agreements entered into to issue
securities and to effect such Recapitalization, and Bulldog
Investors agreed to cause such affiliates to purchase securities
of the Issuer upon the closing of the Recapitalization.

Accordingly, on July 28, 2017, the Recapitalization transaction
closed (the “Closing”) and the Issuer issued and sold shares of
common stock to certain investors, including the Securities to the
affiliates of Bulldog Investors as described herein. A copy of the
common stock purchase agreement was filed with the SEC on August 1,
2017 as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K and
is incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, the Issuer issued to certain investors common stock
purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Issuer’s
common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Certain
investment funds managed by Bulldog Investors acquired Warrants to
purchase 1,600,000 shares of the Issuer. The Warrants are subject to
certain vesting provisions before they become exercisable and the number
of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to
anti-dilution adjustment provisions. A copy of the form of Warrant was
filed with the SEC on August 1, 2017 as Exhibit 4.1 to the Issuer’s
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”) entered into as of the Closing, the Issuer is required to
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement registering the
resale of, among other things, the shares of common stock of the Issuer
issued at the Closing, the shares of common stock into which the Warrants
may be exercised and shares of common stock into which the Issuer’s
convertible notes may be converted. A copy of the Registration Rights
Agreement was filed with the SEC on August 1, 2017 as Exhibit 10.3 to
the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

For a more detailed discussion of the Recapitalization, see the Issuer’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2017.

Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do
not at the present time have any plan or proposal that relates to, or
may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(i) of Schedule
13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plans).
