(a)
Amount beneficially owned:

As of the close of business on March 24, 2015:

 
(i)
Broadfin Master beneficially owned 8,874,992 Shares;
 
 
9

 
CUSIP NO. 14141R101
 
 
(ii)
Broadfin LP and Broadfin Offshore, as feeder funds of Broadfin Master, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 8,874,992 Shares beneficially owned by Broadfin Master;
 
 
(iii)
Broadfin Advisors, as the general partner of Broadfin LP, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 8,874,992 Shares beneficially owned by Broadfin Master;
 
 
(iv)

(v)
Mr. Kotler, as the managing member of each of Broadfin Capital and Broadfin Advisors, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 8,874,992 Shares beneficially owned by Broadfin Master.
 
Excluded from the Reporting Persons’  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, the Reporting Persons 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 the Reporting Persons 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, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own an aggregate of 18,750,192 Shares, constituting approximately 18.97% of the Shares outstanding.

The filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any of the Shares reported herein.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein that are not directly owned by such Reporting Person.

 
(b)
Percent of class:

The following percentages are based on 88,955,216 Shares outstanding as of February 5, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2015.

As of the close of business on March 24, 2015, (i) Broadfin Master beneficially owned approximately 9.98% of the outstanding Shares and (ii) each of Broadfin LP, Broadfin Offshore, Broadfin Advisors, Broadfin Capital and Mr. Kotler may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 9.98% of the outstanding Shares.
