Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On October 10, 2013, we entered into an exchange and settlement agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, LP, or Iliad, regarding the warrant issued to Tonaquint, Inc., or Tonaquint, in December 2012 and subsequently transferred to Iliad. Under the agreement, we agreed to issue Iliad an aggregate of 314,252 shares of our common stock in exchange for the warrant, which we cancelled. At or prior to closing (which must occur no later than October 15, 2013), we will issue 86,283 of these shares to Iliad and instruct our transfer agent to reserve the remaining shares for issuance to Iliad, which shares will be issued at such time as Iliad would not be considered the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Iliad agreed that it would not sell any of such shares beginning from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement for a public offering of the sale of our common stock for gross proceeds of at least $15,000,000 until three months thereafter. In addition, so long as we close such financing by October 31, 2013, Iliad agreed to limit its sales of such shares, including shares received upon conversion of the last outstanding principal amount under the convertible promissory notes we issued to Tonaquint in December 2012, to no more than the higher of (i) 10% of our daily trading volume on any specific trading day, or (ii) 5% of our weekly trading volume in any given week. In addition, as of the date hereof, all of the outstanding principal amount under the convertible promissory notes we issued to Tonaquint in December 2012 have been converted into shares of our common stock. Accordingly, such notes are no longer issued and outstanding.

Iliad also agreed to waive any piggy-back registration rights it may have had in connection with our proposed financing as described on the Form S-1 originally filed with the SEC on May 15, 2013, and as amended on September 27, 2013.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the settlement agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item.

In addition, since the end of the period covered by our last periodic report and not otherwise previously disclosed under Item 3.02 of Form 8-K or in a periodic report, we have sold the following equity securities:

On October 1, 2013, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor as payment under a consulting services agreement for services provided.
