Item 4.  
Purpose of Transaction
 
This Statement relates to the acquisition of the Shares by the Reporting Persons.  The Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons were acquired for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer’s business.
 
The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Common Stock in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.  Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.  If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Common Stock or otherwise, they may acquire shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
 
Except as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as

a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
 
Item 5.  
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
(a)-(b)  As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, directly or indirectly, including by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Shares described in Item 3.  As of the date of this filing, OPI directly holds 1,476,702 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 627,046 shares of Common Stock and Associates holds 14,067 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 5,970 shares of Common Stock.
 
Advisors, pursuant to its authority as the sole managing member of Capital, the sole general partner of OPI, and as the general partner of Associates, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by OPI and Associates, which represent an aggregate of 1,490,769 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 633,016 shares of Common Stock and constitute approximately 11.58%* of the Common Stock. Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of, and owner of a controlling interest in Advisors, pursuant to its limited liability company agreement, may be deemed to also indirectly beneficially own the Shares attributable to Advisors.
 
As a result of the agreements and relationships described in Items 2 and 3 above and Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons have shared discretionary power to direct the vote and the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by OPI, and Advisors and Isaly have shared discretionary power to direct the vote and the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by Associates.
 
(c)   Except as disclosed in Item 3, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Shares during the past sixty (60) days.
 
(d)   Not applicable.
 
(e)    Not applicable.
 
Item 6.

OPI.  Advisors is the sole managing member of Capital, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of Capital.  Advisors is also the sole general partner of Associates, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of Associates. Pursuant to these agreements and relationships, Advisors and Capital have shared discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of OPI.  Such authority includes the power of Capital to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by OPI.  Advisors also has discretionary investment management authority with respect to the assets of Associates and, as a result, has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by Associates. Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of, and owner of a controlling interest in, Advisors, also has shared discretionary power to direct the vote and the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by OPI and Associates.
 
David Bonita (“Bonita”), an employee of Advisors, has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer since October 2012, and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons may have the ability to affect and influence control of the Issuer.  On May 21, 2013, Bonita was the recipient of a grant of options to purchase 7,085 share of Common Stock.  From time to time, Bonita may receive additional stock options or other awards of equity-based compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors.  Bonita is obligated to transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under any such stock options or other awards to the Reporting Persons, which will distribute such shares to OPI and Associates on a pro-rata basis.
 
Investor Rights Agreement
 
The Reporting Persons and other stockholders of the Issuer have entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with the Issuer, dated October 25, 2012 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”).  Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of shares of Common Stock having registration rights (“Registrable Securities”), including the Reporting Persons, can demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing.
 
Demand Registration Rights
 
Following the conclusion of the 180-day lock-up period that commenced upon the registration of the Common Stock, if the Issuer shall receive a written request from the Holders (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities that the Issuer file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering the registration of Registrable Securities having an aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, exceeding $25,000,000, then the Issuer shall, within 30 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders and subject to certain limitations, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
 
If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Issuer receives a request from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities that the Issuer file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Issuer will: (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and (ii) as soon as practicable, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, so long as the aggregate offering price of the securities to be sold under the registration statement on Form S-3 is at least $1,000,000, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and subject to specified exceptions.
 
 
Page 9 of 16 Pages

 
 
 
The Issuer shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any demand registration after the Issuer has effected six Form S-1 demand registrations.
 
The Issuer shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Form S-3 demand registration if the Issuer has effected one Form S-3 demand registrations within the six month period immediately preceding the date of such request.
 
Piggyback Registration Rights
 
If the Issuer proposes to register any of its stock in connection with the public offering of such securities by the Issuer or on behalf of selling stockholders, the Issuer shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least 15 days prior to the filing of any registration statement and will afford each Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder.
 
Expenses of Registration
 
Subject to certain limitations, the Issuer will pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any registration effected pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.
 
Indemnification
 
The Investor Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and the selling stockholders are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
 
Lock-up Letter Agreement
 
The Reporting Persons, along with all of the Issuer’s officers, directors and executive officers, and substantially all of its other stockholders and optionholders have agreed, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Leerink Swann LLC (“Leerink”), subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, issue (in the case of the Issuer), contract to sell, pledge or, among other things, dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock for a 180-day period beginning on May 15, 2013 and ending on November 12, 2013.
 
The 180-day restricted period under the agreements with the underwriters described above will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period the Issuer issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Issuer occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, the Issuer announces that it will release earnings results or becomes aware that material news or a material event relating to the Issuer will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day restricted period, in which case the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.
