CUSIP No. 29268T102
 

Item 1.
 
This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 6”) amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of the Issuer filed by The Quercus Trust, David Gelbaum and Monica Chavez Gelbaum (the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2007 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) and prior amendments thereto.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Initial Schedule 13D or prior amendments thereto.
 
This Amendment No. 6 is being made to report the election of David Gelbaum to the Issuer’s board of  directors (the “Board”) on February 26, 2009.  On that same date, the Issuer awarded to Mr. Gelbaum a non-statutory option under the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $1.05 (the “Option”).  The Option has a term of ten years and vests and becomes exercisable in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on the first month after the award.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 6 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Initial Schedule 13D or prior amendments thereto.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
 
As previously disclosed in the Initial Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons purchased securities of the Issuer for investment purposes only.  While Mr. Gelbaum has no current plan or intention to do so, he reserves the right, in his capacity as a director or otherwise, to propose that the Board consider from time to time one or more of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
 
Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which would relate to or result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  However, the Reporting Persons retain their right to modify their plans with respect to the transactions described in this Amendment No. 6, to vote, acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer and to formulate plans and proposals which could result in the occurrence of any such events, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
 
Item 5.                      Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 6, the Reporting Persons owns 2,685,479 shares of Common Stock, currently exercisable warrant to purchase up to 1,560,062 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”), and the Option described in Item 1 of this Amendment No. 6.  Without any limitation on exercise of the Warrant and because the Option has yet to vest as of the date of this Amendment No. 6, the Reporting Persons may be deemed beneficial owners of a combined total of 4,245,541 shares of Common Stock, representing 25.9% of total outstanding Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant).  However, in accordance with the limitations on exercise in the Warrant, a form of which is attached to Amendment No. 4 filed on 3/21/2008, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Reporting Persons upon any exercise of the Warrant is limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise, the total number of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons does not exceed 19.9% of the total outstanding Common Stock (including the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  Therefore, in calculating beneficial ownership and percentage of beneficial ownership in accordance with Rule 13D, the Reporting Persons shall be deemed beneficial owners of that certain number of Common Stock which would represent a maximum of 19.9% of total outstanding Common Stock.
 
(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to their shares of Common Stock.  Each of David Gelbaum and Monica Chavez Gelbaum, acting alone, has the power to exercise voting and investment control over shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust.
 
(c) Not applicable.
