CUSIP No. 18450Q109
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the 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 (the “SEC”) on February 18, 2009 and prior amendment thereto (the “Prior Schedules”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Prior Schedules. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Prior Schedules.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 5, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 26,300,138 shares of Common Stock. The reported shares represent 27.1% of the shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with Rule 13D and are held of record by the Trust. Such shares represent the sum of the following:
(i) 8,773,194 shares of Common Stock; and
(ii) Currently exercisable warrants to purchase up to 17,526,944 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share and with an expiration date of 5/21/2007.
(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to their beneficial ownership of 26,300,138 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 owned by the Trust.
(c) On June 8, 2010, the Issuer and Reporting Persons entered into a financing agreement (the “2010 Financing”), pursuant to which they agreed, among other agreements, as follows:
(i) Pursuant to the terms of that certain Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated June 8, 2010 (the “2010 Note”), the Reporting Persons will loan to the Issuer up to $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have already funded $500,000 and will deliver the remaining $500,000 in four installments (July 15, 2010, August 15, 2010, September 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010). The 2010 Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in shares of Common Stock, and matures on May 21, 2012. The 2010 Note (1) will be converted upon a Qualified Offering (as defined in the 2010 Note) or (2) will become convertible by the Reporting Persons beginning on May 21, 2011. Because the 2010 Note is not convertible by the Reporting Persons into shares of Common Stock within 60 days of this Amendment No. 5, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock underlying the 2010 Note as of the date hereof. A form of the 2010 Note is attached as an exhibit to the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2010 and incorporated herein by this reference. Further, the Issuer is required to pay (or issue shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Persons in lieu of) all all accrued and unpaid interest on the 2008 Note as of June 8, 2010, but the Reporting Persons have not received such interest payment as of the date hereof.
(ii) The Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated July 10, 2008 entered into by and between the Reporting Persons and Issuer (the “2008 Note”) will be amended and restated to conform substantially to the terms of the 2010 Note. As a result, the Reporting Persons no longer have beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock underlying the 2008 Note, as amended and restated, as of the date hereof. A form of the 2008 Note, as amended and restated, is attached as an exhibit to the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2010 and incorporated herein by this reference.

CUSIP No. 18450Q109
(iii) The Reporting Persons and Issuer will amend all outstanding warrants issued to the Reporting Persons to reset the exercise price thereof to $0.15 per share and to extend the terms of such warrants to May 21, 2017.
(iv) The Reporting Persons will be given the right to appoint a 5th director to the Issuer’s board of directors, in addition to the right they were given previously granted to appoint a director to the board.
(v) The Reporting Persons will be given, for a period of 2 years following May 21, 2010, the right to purchase its pro rata share of any offering of new securities of the Issuer on the same terms and conditions of any such offering, subject to customary exceptions.
Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on June 11, 2010 contains a more detailed description of the 2010 Financing, the full text and exhibits of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
