This Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) to Schedule 13D modifies and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 1, 2007 with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Nephros, Inc. (the “Company”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Statement filed with the Commission on February 12, 2010 (“Amendment No. 1”),  Amendment No. 2 to the Statement filed with the Commission on March 21, 2011 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 to the Statement filed with the Commission on February 13, 2013 (“Amendment No. 3”), Amendment No. 4 to the Statement filed with the Commission on June 5, 2013 (“Amendment No. 4”) and Amendment No. 5 to the Statement filed with the Commission on November 18, 2013 (“Amendment No. 5, and together with the initial Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, the “Statement”).  Except to the extent amended or supplemented by the information contained in this Amendment No. 6, the Statement remains in full force and effect.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.


Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended to add the following:

The consideration Lambda used to fund the subscription rights which were exercised (as described below) was from the amount of principal and interest owed under the November 2013 Promissory Note with the balance paid out of its general funds. The consideration Wexford Capital used to fund the subscription rights which were exercised (as described below) was paid out of its general funds.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended to add the following:

On March 14, 2014, Lambda and Wexford Capital exercised certain subscription rights certificates received pursuant to a rights offering with the Company. Lambda received 5,250,264 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.30 per share for a cost of $1,575,079.12. Wexford Capital received 27,811 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.30 per share for a cost of $8,343.16.

Additionally, the 8,806,575 shares of common stock underlying Class D Warrants held by Lambda had an exercise price of $0.40 per share prior to the rights offering.  However, the Class D Warrants contained full ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions, which were triggered in connection with the rights offering.  The Class D Warrant provides that if the Company conducts a rights offering, then the number of shares of common stock for which the Class D Warrant was exercisable immediately after the rights offering shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares which a record holder of the same number of shares of common stock for which the Class D Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the rights offering would own or be entitled to receive after the rights offering.  Therefore, the number of Class D Warrants were adjusted from 8,806,575 to 11,742,100.  Further, the Class D Warrant provides that the per share exercise price in effect immediately prior to the rights offering shall be adjusted to equal (A) the per share exercise price in effect immediately prior to the rights offering multiplied by (B) the number of shares of common stock for which the Class D Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the rights offering divided by (C) the number of shares of common stock for which the Class D Warrant was exercisable immediately after such adjustment.  Therefore, the exercise price per share of the Class D Warrants was also adjusted from $0.40 to $0.30 per share.  The Company agreed to amend the expiration date of the existing Class D Warrants held by Lambda from March 10, 2017 to March 14, 2019.

Each aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned listed above was calculated by taking the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned or held, as applicable, by each Reporting Person and increasing such number, to the extent applicable, for each Reporting Person to reflect the assumed exercise of all warrants and options to purchase shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.  Each of the percentages listed above was determined by dividing the relevant number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned or held, as applicable, by each Reporting Person (calculated in accordance with the previous sentence) by 25,225,704, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 25, 2014, as report to the Commission in the Company’s last 10K filed March 28, 2014,  increased, to the extent applicable, for each Reporting Person to reflect the assumed exercise of all warrants and options to purchase shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.

Wexford Capital may, by reason of its status as managing member of Lambda, be deemed to own beneficially the shares of Common Stock of which Lambda possess beneficial ownership. Wexford GP may, by reason of its status as General Partner of Wexford Capital, be deemed to own beneficially the shares of Common Stock of which Lambda possess beneficial ownership. Each of Messrs. Davidson and Jacobs may, by reason of his status as a controlling person of Wexford GP, be deemed to own beneficially the shares of Common Stock of which Lambda possess beneficial ownership. Each of Wexford Capital, Wexford GP, Davidson and Jacobs shares the power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Lambda.  Each of Wexford Capital, Wexford GP and Messrs. Davidson and Jacobs disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned by Lambda and this report shall not be deemed as an admission that they are the beneficial owner of such securities except, in the case of Davidson and Jacobs, to the extent of their respective personal ownership interests in any of the members of Lambda.

Since the date of the Amendment No. 5, the Company granted to each of Mr. Arthur H. Amron, a Partner and Secretary of Wexford Capital LP and Dr. Paul Mieyal, an employee of Wexford Capital LP, in respect of their service as a director of the Company (i) an additional 19,733 shares of Restricted Stock which is restricted for six (6) months from the grant date of December 31, 2013, and (ii) options to purchase 26,598 shares of common stock of the Company which were issued under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan with one-third of the options vesting immediately upon the grant date of March 26, 2014 and the remainder of the options to be vested in equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. At the request of Mr. Amron and Mr. Mieyal all Restricted Stock and options were granted to Wexford Capital LP.

Except as set forth in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date of this Amendment No. 6.
