This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed on March 19, 2012 (the "Original Schedule 13G" and the Original Schedule 13G as amended, the "Schedule 13G"), with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.02 (the "Common Stock"), of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates Item 4 in its entirety as set forth below.

Item 4.
OWNERSHIP.

   
The information required by Items 4(a) - (c) is set forth in Rows 5 - 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each Reporting Person.
   
The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2012, indicates that the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of November 2, 2012 was 47,761,119.   The percentage set forth in Row (11) of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based upon such total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and assumes the exercise of the reported Warrants.  Pursuant to the terms of the reported warrants (the “Reported Warrants”), the Reporting Persons cannot exercise any of the Reported Warrants if, after any such exercise, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "9.99% Blocker"). At this time, the Reporting Persons are able to exercise all of the Reported Warrants without any limitation imposed by the 9.99% Blocker.
 
The Investment Manager, which serves as the investment manager to the Empery Funds, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants held by, the Empery Funds.  Each of the Reporting Individuals, as Managing Members of the General Partner of the Investment Manager with the power to exercise investment discretion, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants held by, the Empery Funds.  The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person.  Each of the Reporting Individuals hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock.
