Item 4.  Ownership.

(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 10,728,324 shares of Common Stock.

As of December 31, 2012, Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC (“Platinum-Montaur”) and Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund L.P. (“PPVA”) collectively beneficially owned 10,728,324 shares of Common Stock.  The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Platinum-Montaur and PPVA represent 9.99% percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The 9.99% ownership calculation was based on the 107,390,632 shares of Common Stock reported by the Issuer as being outstanding as of November 2, 2012 on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2012.

The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned excludes the following to the extent that the conversion and/or exercise thereof would be prohibited by the 9.99% Blocker (as defined below), all of which are directly owned by Platinum-Montaur: (i) 8,333,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Series X Warrant issued on April 16, 2008, as amended (the “Series X Warrant”); (ii) 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Series AA Warrant issued on July 24, 2009 (the “Series AA Warrant”); and (iii) 22,687,260 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 6,938 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

The Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock, the Series X Warrant and the Series AA Warrant each contain a blocker (the “9.99% Blocker”) that prevents the conversion or exercise thereof, as applicable, to the extent that such conversion or exercise, as applicable, would result in the holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except on 61 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer that the holder waives such limitation.

In addition, PPVA is party to a notional principal amount derivative agreement with respect to 2,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.  The derivative agreement provides PPVA with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but does not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are the subject of the derivative agreement.  The counterparty to the derivative agreement is an unaffiliated third party financial institution.

(b) Percent of class:  9.99%

(c) Number of shares as to which such person has:
 
(i)
Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0
 
(ii)

(iii)
Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0
 
(iv)
Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 10,728,324

The shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) reported in this Schedule 13G are held directly by Platinum-Montaur and PPVA.  Platinum-Montaur is a subsidiary of PPVA.  Platinum Management (NY) LLC is the investment manager and general partner of PPVA and the investment manager of Platinum-Montaur.  Mr. Nordlicht is the Chief Investment Officer of Platinum Management (NY) LLC and has voting and investment control of the Shares held by Platinum-Montaur and PPVA.  Each of Platinum Management (NY) LLC and Mr. Nordlicht expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by Platinum-Montaur and PPVA.  Each of Platinum-Montaur and PPVA expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares held by the other.
