CUSIP No. 292687102
 
Item 1. Security and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer ("Common Stock"), filed by The Quercus Trust, David Gelbaum and Monica Chavez Gelbaum (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 31, 2007 and prior amendments thereto (collectively, the "Prior Schedules"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Prior Schedules. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Prior Schedules.
   
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
  
The shares of Common Stock were purchased by The Quercus Trust for investment purposes.  Subject to applicable securities laws and regulations, the Reporting Persons may dispose or acquire securities of the Issuer, including the Common Stock, depending upon the position of the market, the Issuer, and other factors.  The Reporting Persons have during the past five months sold Common Stock on the open market from time to time depending on market conditions. The purpose of the sales has been to obtain liquidity for The Quercus Trust.  Except as aforesaid, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
   
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
(a) As of the date of this Amendment, the Reporting Persons own the following securities of the Issuer:
 
(i)  5,141,888 shares of Common Stock.
 
(ii)  Vested option (right to buy) awarded on 2/26/09 to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per share, which expires on 2/25/11 (the "February Option").
 
(iii) Vested option (right to buy) granted on 6/24/09 to purchase 8,750 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, which expires on 2/25/11 (the "June Option" and together with the February Option, collectively, the "Options").
 
(iv) Warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the "2009 Warrant").
 
In accordance with Rule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed beneficial owners of approximately 5,310,638 shares of Common Stock representing 22.2% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this Amendment, which are derived from a sum of (1) 5,141,888 shares of Common Stock and (2) 168,750 vested shares of Common Stock underlying the Options and the 2009 Warrant (collectively, the "Quercus Beneficial Ownership").
 
(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Quercus Beneficial Ownership. Each of David Gelbaum and Monica Chavez Gelbaum, acting alone, has the power to exercise voting and investment control over the Quercus Beneficial Ownership.
