CUSIP NO. 14141R101
 
The Shares that each of Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro may be deemed to beneficially own represent Shares underlying certain stock options that were awarded to them by the Issuer in connection with their service on the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). Each of Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro may be deemed to beneficially own 30,850 Shares, which represents Shares underlying certain stock options exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof. Each of Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro directly own 61,000 stock options, each of which may be exercised, upon vesting, to purchase Shares at $0.64 per Share.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
Last year, Broadfin Master and its affiliates (“Broadfin”) led a successful campaign for the election of Gregory D. Casciaro, R. Michael Kleine and Samuel E. Navarro to the Board at the Issuer’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders.  Despite the valuable contribution of Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro, a year later, the Board has failed to enact the real and positive changes that the Issuer’s stockholders demanded through their overwhelming support for the election of Broadfin’s candidates.  Broadfin believes that the change of a minority on the Board has proven insufficient to maximize the competitive advantage of the Issuer’s valuable technology and drive meaningful value-creation for the benefit of stockholders.
 
Accordingly, on September 4, 2015, Broadfin delivered a letter to the Issuer nominating Thomas A. Afzal, Richard M. Ferrari, Kevin Kotler, Paul Molloy, and Jeffrey A. Templer  and re-nominating Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro  (together, the “Nominees”) for election to the Board at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”).
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.

As of the close of business on September 3, 2015, Broadfin Master beneficially owned 8,874,992 Shares, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding.  Each of Broadfin LP and Broadfin Offshore, as feeder funds of Broadfin Master, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,874,992 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding. Broadfin Advisors, as the general partner of Broadfin LP, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,874,992 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding. Broadfin Capital, as the investment manager of Broadfin Master, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,874,992 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding.  Mr. Kotler, as the managing member of Broadfin Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,874,992 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding.
 
Excluded from Broadfin’s  beneficial ownership is 9,875,200 Shares issuable upon the conversion of 98,752 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) due to a conversion cap that precludes the holder thereof from converting the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that the holder would, after such exercise, beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) in excess of 9.98% of the Shares outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon written notice to the Issuer, Broadfin may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice, which increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall take effect on the 61st day after delivery to the Issuer. In the event Broadfin delivered written notice to the Issuer increasing the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 19.98% and subsequently fully converted the 98,752 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into 9,875,200 Shares, Broadfin would beneficially own an aggregate of 18,750,192 Shares, constituting approximately 18.97% of the Shares outstanding.
 
As of the close of business on September 3, 2015, each of Messrs. Casciaro, Kleine and Navarro may be deemed to beneficially own 30,850 Shares, representing Shares underlying certain stock options exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding.
 
As of the close of business on September 3, 2015, none of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy or Templer beneficially owned any Shares.
 
Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
 
(b)           By virtue of their respective positions with Broadfin Master, each of Broadfin LP, Broadfin Offshore, Broadfin Advisors, Broadfin Capital and Mr. Kotler may be deemed to have sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Broadfin Master.
 
Mr. Casciaro has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by him. Mr. Kleine has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by him. Mr. Navarro has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by him.
 
(c)           No Reporting Person has engaged in any transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
 
(d)           No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
 
(e)           Not applicable.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
On August 21, 2015, Broadfin entered into a Nondisclosure Agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer agreed to arrange for a meeting between representatives of Broadfin and the Board, to the sharing of information by Issuer directors with Broadfin and to provide Broadfin with periodic updates regarding material developments with respect to the Issuer, and Broadfin agreed to hold any such information in confidence. Pursuant to its terms, the Nondisclosure Agreement terminated on August 27, 2015, corresponding to 10 days before the deadline for stockholder nominations of directors for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
 
On September 4, 2015, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement in which, among other things, the Reporting Persons agreed to (a) the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Issuer and (b) solicit proxies for the election of the Nominees at the 2015 Annual Meeting.  The Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Pursuant to letter agreements, Broadfin has agreed to indemnify each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer against any and all claims of any nature arising from the solicitation of proxies at the 2015 Annual Meeting and any related transactions. A form of such letter agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Broadfin has also signed compensation letter agreements with each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer, pursuant to which Broadfin agrees to pay each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer: (i) $5,000 in cash as a result of the submission by Broadfin of its nomination of each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer to the Issuer and (ii) $20,000 in cash upon the filing of a definitive proxy statement by Broadfin with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the solicitation of proxies in favor of each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer’s election as a director at the 2015 Annual Meeting.  Pursuant to the compensation letter agreements, each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer has agreed to use the after-tax proceeds from such compensation to acquire securities of the Issuer (the “Nominee Shares”) at such time that each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer shall determine, but in any event no later than 14 days after receipt of such compensation.  If elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Board, each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Nominee Shares within two (2) years of his election or appointment as a director; provided, however, in the event that the Issuer enters into a business combination with a third party, each of Messrs. Afzal, Ferrari, Molloy and Templer may sell, transfer or exchange the Nominee Shares in accordance with the terms of such business combination. A form of such compensation letter agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Messrs. Ferrari, Navarro and Templer are investors in certain affiliates of Broadfin Master, but have no voting or dispositive power over any securities held by Broadfin Master or its affiliates.
 
Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
