(2)
Based on 5,998,524 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2019, plus 133,334 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrant.
The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
References in this Amendment No. 2 to numbers of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reflect the Issuer’s one-for-fifteen reverse stock split effected on September 25, 2018, as further described in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2018.
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following:
The Reporting Persons have paid a total of approximately $2,932,485 to acquire the 460,000 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by 683 Partners as of September 20, 2019. The funds used to purchase the Shares were obtained from the general working capital of 683 Partners, including margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business, although the Reporting Persons cannot determine whether any funds allocated to purchase such securities were obtained from any margin account borrowings.
Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:
On September 25, 2018 the Issuer effected a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split, as further described in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2018.
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)            The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 5,998,524 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2019, plus 133,334 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrant.
As of the date hereof, 683 Partners beneficially owned 593,334 shares of Common Stock, including 133,334 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrant, constituting approximately 9.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding calculated in accordance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  By virtue of their respective relationships with 683 Partners discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of 683 Management and Mr. Zweiman may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned directly by 683 Partners. 683 Management and Ari Zweiman disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
683 Partners has also acquired the Series B Warrant to purchase 19,730 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which in turn are convertible into 789,216 shares of Common Stock.  The Issuer’s Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2018, provides that the Issuer shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder of such stock shall not have the right to convert any portion of such Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Act, as amended, and the rules thereunder), in excess of 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
(b)            683 Partners has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Common Stock owned by it.
      Each of 683 Management and Mr. Zweiman share the power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by 683 Partners.  Information regarding each of 683 Management and Ari Zweiman is set forth in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D and is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
(c)            All transactions effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
(d)            No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of the Shares.
(e)            Not applicable.

 After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information with respect to it set forth in this statement is true, complete, and correct.
