CALCULATION OF FILING FEE:
Transaction valuation(1) | Amount of filing fee(2) | |
$2,150,000 |
$216.51 |
(1) | Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only. The transaction is an offer by the issuer to holders of its $3.57 original warrants to exchange up to 5,000,000 of such original warrants for (i) an equal number of $1.50 new warrants of the issuer, conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such new warrants, and (ii) one $3.00 supplemental warrant of the issuer for every four new warrants exercised. The transaction valuation is calculated pursuant to Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The transaction valuation assumes that 5,000,000 are tendered in the offer and was determined using the average of the high and low sales price of the issuer’s original warrants on September 30, 2016 as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market, which was $0.43 per warrant. |

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO as follows:

If the aggregate number of Original Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is greater than 5,000,000, then each of the participating holder’s number of Original Warrants tendered will be reduced on as close to a pro rata basis as is possible.
