Executive Summary

2014 Business Highlights

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of hybrid photonic integrated optoelectronic modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high-speed communications networks.

In 2014, we recorded the following financial and operational results:

• Achieved record annual revenues of $306.2 million, compared to $282.2 million in 2013, which represented year-over-year growth of 8.5%;

• Reported a diluted loss per share of $0.61, compared to a diluted loss per share of $1.11 for 2013;

• Implemented a company-wide restructuring to reduce costs in both operating expenses and in cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2014. As a result, we achieved non-GAAP and adjusted EBITDA profitability in the second half of 2014;

• Announced and launched a series of new product solutions, new 100G receivers, a new micro tunable laser, a new multicast switch, all for 100G coherent networks, and a new 100G telecom transceiver product;

• Announced and implemented discontinuations of certain products that were not meeting corporate profitability targets while continuing to ramp new and 100G products that were delivering revenue growth and margin expansion; and

8

• Implemented improved and tightened financial controls and procedures to attain timely filer status with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and by December 31, 2014 completed the remediation of all material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of the end of 2013.

2014 Executive Compensation Highlights

Consistent with our business results and our competitive marketplace for talent, our Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to the 2014 compensation of the named executive officers:

• Maintained their base salaries at their 2013 levels;

• granted equity awards in the form of stock options that link their interests with those of our stockholders;

• recommended that our board of directors approve a tender offer to reprice eligible stock options, including those held by our named executive officers; and

• awarded annual bonuses under our 2014 Variable Pay Plan (in a combination of cash and restricted stock unit awards), based on our actual performance as assessed against corporate financial and operational performance measures, in amounts determined in the sole discretion of our Compensation Committee.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound governance standards consistent with our executive compensation policies and practices. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is consistent with the Company’s short-term and long-term goals given the dynamic nature of our business and the market in which we compete for executive talent. The following policies and practices were in effect during 2014:

• Independent Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee comprises solely independent directors.

• Independent Compensation Committee Advisor. Our Compensation Committee has periodically engaged its own compensation consultant to assist with its executive compensation review. This consultant performed no consulting or other services for the Compensation Committee in 2014, but has been engaged by the Compensation Committee to provide these services in 2015.

• Executive Compensation Review. Our Compensation Committee conducts a periodic review and approval of our compensation strategy, including a review of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes and a review of our compensation-related risk profile to ensure that our compensation-related risks are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

• Executive Compensation Policies and Practices. Our compensation philosophy and related corporate governance policies and practices are complemented by several specific compensation practices that are designed to align our executive compensation with long-term stockholder interests, including the following:

• Compensation At-Risk. Our executive compensation program is designed so that a significant portion of compensation is “at risk” based on corporate performance, as well as equity-based to align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders;

• Limited Perquisites. We provide only limited perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers;

• No Tax Reimbursements. We do not provide any tax reimbursement payments (including “gross-ups”) on any perquisites or other personal benefits;

• No Special Health or Welfare Benefits. Our U.S. executive officers participate in broad-based company-sponsored health and welfare benefits programs on the same basis as our other full-time, U.S. salaried employees;

• No Post-Employment Tax Reimbursements. We do not provide any tax reimbursement payments (including “gross-ups”) on any post-employment payments or benefits;

• “Double-Trigger” Change-in-Control Arrangements. All change-in-control payments and benefits are based on a “double-trigger” arrangement (that is, they require both a change-incontrol of the Company plus a qualifying termination of employment before payments and benefits are paid);

9

• Multi-Year Vesting Requirements. Other than RSUs granted as part of year-end bonuses in lieu of cash, the equity awards granted to our executive officers vest or are earned over multi-year periods, consistent with current market practice and our retention objectives;

• Stock Ownership Guidelines. We require our CEO to maintain a minimum level of ownership in our common stock; and

• Hedging Prohibited. We prohibit our executive officers and other employees from hedging or engaging in other inherently speculative transactions with respect to their holdings of Company securities.

Recent Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we conducted a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers (commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote). Our stockholders approved the compensation of the named executive officers with approximately 98.6% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal. Previously, at our 2011 annual stockholders’ meeting, approximately 95.3% of stockholder votes were cast in favor of our 2011 Say-On-Pay resolution.

We believe that the outcome of the 2011 and 2014 Say-on-Pay votes reflects our stockholders’ support of our compensation approach, specifically our efforts to attract, retain and motivate the named executive officers. Accordingly, we have made no significant design changes to our executive compensation program as a result of the 2011 or 2014 Say-on-Pay votes.

We value the opinions of our stockholders and will continue to consider the outcome of future Say-on-Pay votes, as well as feedback received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our executive officers, including the named executive officers. Accordingly, following our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the next stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers will take place in 2017.

Based on the results of a separate stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the named executive officers (commonly known as a “Say-When-on-Pay” vote) conducted at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our board of directors determined that we will hold our Say-on-Pay votes on a triennial basis.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation program consists of four primary components—base salary, an annual cash bonus opportunity, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards, and post-employment compensation arrangements. We also provide our U.S.-based executive officers with the same health and welfare benefits that are available to all U.S. salaried employees. In China, Dr. Cheung (our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer) is provided the same health and welfare benefits that are provided to the top tier of salaried employees in Southern China, and additionally is provided access to Hong Kong health services.

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

• provide total compensation packages that attract, motivate, reward, and retain exceptional executive- level talent;

• establish a direct and meaningful link between corporate, individual, and team performance and the compensation payable in respect of such performance;

• provide strong incentives for our executive officers create stockholder value; and

• align the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.

While our Compensation Committee (or our board of directors, as applicable) reviews the total compensation package for each of our executive officers, including each of the named executive officers, in connection with the decisions it makes each year regarding each individual compensation component, generally the amount of any one compensation component is determined independent of the amount of any other component. Our Compensation Committee performs at least an annual review of our executive officers’ overall compensation opportunities to determine whether they meet our compensation objectives.

Compensation-Setting Process

Role of our Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee oversees our executive compensation program in relation to our competitive marketplace for talent (including our executive compensation policies and practices), approves the compensation of our executive officers, and administers our various employee stock plans. Specifically, our Compensation Committee is responsible for:

• reviewing and approving the compensation and other terms of employment of our executive officers, including the named executive officers, and other senior members of management, and reviewing and approving corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to such compensation; and

• administering our stock option plans, stock purchase plans, compensation plans, and similar programs, including the adoption, amendment and termination of such plans.

Our Compensation Committee approved target annual cash bonus opportunities for 2014 performance in May 2014 and determined bonus payments based on 2014 performance for our executive officers in March 2015.

Our Compensation Committee may, at its discretion and in accordance with the philosophy of making all information available to our board of directors, present executive compensation matters to the entire board of directors for their review and approval.

In the course of its deliberations, in any given year, our Compensation Committee may review and consider materials such as our financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information regarding potential compensation, executive stock ownership information, analyses of historical executive compensation levels, and current company-wide compensation levels and the recommendations of our CEO.

Role of our Management

For our executive officers other than our CEO, our Compensation Committee solicits and considers the performance evaluations and compensation recommendations submitted by our CEO. In the case of our CEO, the non-employee members of our board of directors evaluate his performance and our Compensation Committee determines whether to make any adjustments to his compensation.

Our Human Resources and Finance departments work with our CEO to propose for the consideration and approval of our Compensation Committee the design of our executive compensation program, to recommend changes to existing compensation components, to recommend financial and other performance measures and related target levels to be achieved under our incentive compensation plans, to prepare analyses of financial data and other briefing materials and, ultimately, to implement the decisions of our Compensation Committee or our board of directors, as applicable.

No executive officer, including no named executive officer, was present or participated directly in the final determinations or deliberations of our Compensation Committee or our board of directors, as applicable regarding the amount or component of his or her own 2014 compensation package.

Role of our Compensation Consultant

For 2014, our Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, to assist it in its deliberations on the compensation payable to our executive officers, including the named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee may also consider input from Compensia on the compensation payable to non-executive members of our board of directors.

The nature and scope of services of Compensia’s services in 2014 included the following:

• providing advice regarding best practices and market trends in executive compensation;

• assisting with the design of our equity compensation program, and other executive compensation arrangements, as needed;

• preparing for and attending meetings of our Compensation Committee, as requested by the committee Chair; and

• working with our management and Human Resource personnel to obtain any information needed about us to provide its services.

11

Compensia did not provide any services to the Company’s management in 2014. The Company pays the cost for Compensia’s services. In April 2014, our Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of Compensia pursuant to the criteria set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1 and the applicable listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange. Our Compensation Committee determined that the work of Compensia did not give rise to any conflict of interest.

Competitive Positioning

Our Compensation Committee’s objective of maintaining an executive compensation program that is competitive includes a balance between retaining our executive officers and maintaining a reasonable and responsible cost structure. Our Compensation Committee does not establish a specific target percentile for the target total direct compensation opportunities of our executive officers, including the named executive officers (that is, we do not engage in “benchmarking” as that term is commonly used). When setting the amount of each compensation component for our executive officers, our Compensation Committee (or the independent members of our board of directors, as applicable) considers a number of factors, the importance of any one of which may vary in any given year, including:

• corporate and/or individual performance, as we believe this encourages our executive officers to focus on achieving our business objectives;

• the need to motivate our executive officers to address particular business challenges that are unique within any given year;

• the experiences and individual knowledge of the members of our Compensation Committee (or the independent members of our board of directors, as applicable) regarding compensation of similarly-situated executives at other companies (with reference to third party surveys), as we believe this approach helps us to compete in hiring and retaining the best possible talent while at the same time maintaining a reasonable and responsible cost structure;

• internal pay parity of the compensation paid to one executive officer as compared to another, as we believe this contributes to retention and a spirit of teamwork among our executive officers;

• the performance of each individual executive officer, based on a subjective assessment of his or her contributions to our overall performance, ability to lead his or her business unit or function, work as part of a team and reflect our core values;

• the potential dilutive effect on our stockholders generally from equity awards granted to our executive officers;

• common pay practices and local economic conditions in foreign countries where an executive officer may work;

• broader economic conditions, to ensure that our pay strategies are effective yet responsible, particularly in the face of any unanticipated consequences of the broader economy on our business;

• individual negotiations with our executive officers, particularly in connection with their initial compensation package, as these individuals may be leaving meaningful compensation opportunities at their prior employer to work for us, as well as negotiations upon their departure, as we recognize the benefit to our stockholders of smooth transitions; and

• recommendations provided by our CEO for his direct reports.

These factors provide the framework for compensation decision-making and final decisions regarding the compensation opportunity for our executive officers, including the named executive officers. While no single factor above was determinative in setting pay levels for 2014, the most significant factor in setting compensation levels was our Compensation Committee’s desire to control cash expenditures and, as such, no adjustment was made to our executive officers’ base salaries.

For purposes of evaluating our executive compensation against the competitive market, our Compensation Committee uses a compensation peer group of 15 technology companies, which was developed with the assistance of Compensia. The companies composing the compensation peer group were selected on the basis of their similarity to us in size (as determined by revenue and market capitalization), business strategy, and industry. Our Compensation Committee reviews the compensation peer group in years when it requests a peer assessment of executive compensation and makes adjustments to its composition, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group.

12

The compensation peer group for 2014 (which was the same as the compensation peer group for 2013) consisted of the following companies:

Anaren, Inc.	Comtech Communications, Inc.	GSI Group, Inc.
Aviat Networks, Inc.	Digi International, Inc.	Hutchison Technology, Inc.
Bel Fuse, Inc.	EMCORE Corporation	Integrated Silicon Solutions, Inc.
CalAmp Corporation	Entropic Communications, Inc.	Oclaro, Inc.
Calix, Inc.	Extreme Networks, Inc.	Oplink Communications, Inc.

To analyze the compensation practices of the companies in the compensation peer group, Compensia gathered data from public filings of the peer companies. This data, supplemented with broader survey data of compensation for technology companies of similar revenue size (referencing Compensia’s proprietary survey for companies with revenue of $200 million to $500 million, median $312 million, plus its national executive compensation survey), was then used by our Compensation Committee as a reference point to assess our current compensation levels in the course of its deliberations on compensation design and levels.

Compensation Components

Our executive compensation program has four primary components—base salary, an annual cash bonus opportunities, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards, and post-employment compensation arrangements. We also provide our executive officers with the same health and welfare benefits that are available to all salaried employees in the country in which they reside. The following table summarizes the factors which were material to the decisions of our Compensation Committee in 2014 and the reasons such compensation component is provided.

Base Salary

At the beginning of 2014, our Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of our executive officers, including the named executive officers. As part of this review, our Compensation Committee considered information from Compensia regarding the expected range for annual base salary increases in 2014. After considering the competitive market data provided by Compensia, as well as the collective knowledge and experience of its members on compensating individuals in positions held by the executives at other companies, and additional factors such as volatility in our industry, our need to retain our key executive officers, and changes in the local economies in which we operate, our Compensation Committee decided to maintain the base salaries of our executive officers at their 2013 levels.

The base salaries of the named executive officers for 2014 were as follows:

Named Executive Officer	2013 Base Salary		2014 Base Salary		Percentage Increase
Mr. Jenks	$	400,000	$	400,000		—
Mr. Wallin		—	$	285,000		—
Mr. Sitler	$	265,000	$	265,000		—
Dr. Cheung(1)	$	340,000	$	340,000		—
Dr. Yuen	$	275,000	$	275,000		—

(1) Dr. Cheung’s base salary is calculated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable year. Dr. Cheung’s actual base salary was paid in RMB, the legal currency of the People’s Republic of China.

The base salaries of the named executive officers paid during 2014 are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

Annual Bonus

Each year, we seek to motivate our executive officers, including the named executive officers, to successfully execute our annual financial and operational objectives through an annual bonus opportunity. In designing these bonus opportunities, our CEO works with our Compensation Committee to develop appropriate performance measures and related target levels, which are then reviewed and approved by our board of directors. The performance measures and related payout levels are determined based on management’s business forecast both at the corporate and business unit levels, as reviewed and approved by our board of directors.

In January 2014, our management proposed an annual bonus plan for 2014 (the “2014 Variable Pay Plan”) to our Compensation Committee for its review and approval. During the first half of 2014, our Compensation Committee considered and refined the terms and conditions of the 2014 Variable Pay Plan, which was subsequently approved in May 2014. Under the 2014 Variable Pay Plan, our Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion award up to 50% of the final earned 2014 bonuses to our executive officers in the form of restricted stock unit awards.

14

Target Annual Cash Bonus Opportunities

In May 2014, our Compensation Committee established the target annual bonus opportunities for the named executive officers as follows:

Named Executive Officer	Target Annual Bonus Opportunity (as a percentage of base salary)			Target Annual Bonus Opportunity ($)
Mr. Jenks		75	%	$	300,000
Mr. Wallin		40	%	$	114,000
Mr. Sitler		40	%	$	106,000
Dr. Cheung (1)		40	%	$	136,000
Dr. Yuen		40	%	$	110,000

(1) Dr. Cheung’s target annual bonus opportunity is calculated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the year. Dr. Cheung’s actual annual bonus payment, if any, is paid in RMB, the legal currency of the People’s Republic of China.

These target annual bonus opportunities were determined by our Compensation Committee based on its members’ collective knowledge and experiences, the recommendations of our CEO (except with respect to his own target annual bonus opportunity), and considerations for internal pay equity, that is, while our Compensation Committee generally believes compensation for the named executive officers should increase with their level of responsibility, it also recognized that achievement of the corporate objectives underlying the 2014 Variable Pay Plan would require a team effort among management, and, therefore, the target annual bonus opportunities should fall within a narrow range, with the largest percentage awarded to our CEO in light of his overall responsibility for the successful execution of our annual operating plan.

Our Compensation Committee also determined in May 2014 that it may in its discretion award up to fifty percent (50%) of the final earned 2014 bonuses to senior management and U.S. director-level employees in the form of restricted stock units. For purposes of calculating the number of restricted stock units to be awarded for any individual bonus, in March 2015 our Compensation Committee determined that it intended to make such calculation by dividing (1) the applicable bonus value (for the restricted stock unit portion of the bonus) by (2) the average closing price of our common stock over a 24-day lookback period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the grant date.

Corporate Performance Measures

Our Compensation Committee structured the 2014 Variable Pay Plan so that a pool for the payment of bonuses would be funded throughout the year based on our Compensation Committee’s assessment of overall corporate performance as measured by the following financial performance measures:

• our U.S. non-GAAP operating income as compared to our annual operating plan; and

• execution of six key product development programs expected to generate profitable revenue beginning in 2015 and beyond.

• Each program has specific target customers, identified milestones and completion dates. The criteria for assessment include timely and cost-effective delivery of named products to the target performance specification and to the target development stage or product launch. Assessment to be made on timeliness, budget adherence, technical risk assessment and customer impact.

For purposes of the 2014 Variable Pay Plan, non-GAAP “operating income” was to be calculated by excluding certain items included under GAAP, including stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, business acquisition-related costs and expenses including the amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of fair value adjustments to fixed assets and inventory, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, escrow settlement gain, asset impairment charge and the related tax effects.

Our Compensation Committee selected these financial and operational performance measures because it believed they were the best indicators of our ability to successfully execute our annual operating plan and factors critical to improving our competitive position and increasing the value of our common stock. Our Compensation Committee believed these objectives, therefore, best aligned the financial interests of the named executive officers with those of the stockholders.

In addition, our Compensation Committee established weightings and target performance levels for each of the corporate performance measures. The measures were weighted as follows: 60% on non-GAAP operating income and 40% on research and development execution.

For the financial performance measure, our Compensation Committee established threshold and target levels contingent on our actual performance for 2014. Although expressed as a potential payment outcome, the target level for this measure was merely a non-binding guideline to be used by our Compensation Committee as one factor in determining the actual bonuses payments, if any, to be made to the named executive officers. With respect to the operational performance measure, the Compensation Committee regularly reviewed the progress of programs using criteria which included on-time, on-budget delivery of named products to the target development stage or product launch, with assessment being made on timeliness, technical risk assessment and customer impact.

15

In approving the 2014 Variable Pay Plan, our Compensation Committee did not assign a specific dollar payment amount to any of the performance measures or to its assessment of individual performance achievements. Instead, as in prior years our Compensation Committee intended to award actual bonus payments for 2014 based upon the subjective judgment of its members as to the appropriate bonus amounts after assessing:

• our actual corporate performance as compared against the threshold and target levels for the financial performance measure;

• an assessment of our actual performance as compared against the target level for the operational performance measures;

• an evaluation of whether each named executive officer has performed his duties and responsibilities in a satisfactory manner; and

• our overall budget (that is, the appropriate level of bonuses to pay after consideration of the broader economic conditions and our balance sheet and expected cash flows).

2014 Bonus Awards

On March 27, 2015, our Compensation Committee approved annual bonuses to our named executed officers for 2014 performance as follows:

Named Executive Officer	2014 Cash Bonus Award			2014 RSU Bonus Award (#)
Timothy S. Jenks	$	159,000			28,659
Clyde R. Wallin		60,420			10,890
Dr. Raymond Cheung		74,457	(1)		13,420
Dr. Wupen Yuen		55,385			9,983
Benjamin L. Sitler		47,700			8,598

(1) Calculated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the year. Dr. Cheung’s actual bonus was paid in Chinese RMB.

In making its decisions in March 2015 with respect to annual bonus payments earned by the named executive officers for 2014, our Compensation Committee considered our actual corporate performance results against the target levels established under the bonus plan established for the year as described above, as well as:

• the performance review for each named executive officers conducted by our CEO (other than for himself) and our Compensation Committee’s own assessment of such individual performances;

• our Compensation Committee’s evaluation of our CEO’s performance; and

• our Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the propriety of the total amount of the bonus payment in light of our balance sheet, expected cash flows, and broader economic considerations, notwithstanding our actual performance results and the material role that each named executive officer played in achieving these results.

Our Compensation Committee does not apply any specific weighting or formula for these factors, but considers them as a whole. Our Compensation Committee also evaluates each named executive officer’s individual performance and his contributions to our achievement of the objectives set forth in our annual operating plan.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We use equity awards in the form of stock options and service-based restricted stock unit awards to ensure that our executive officers, including the named executive officers, have a continuing stake in our long-term success. We structure our long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards because we believe that if our executive officers own shares of our common stock with values that are significant to them, they will have an incentive to act to maximize longer-term stockholder value instead of short-term gain. We also believe that equity awards are an integral component of our efforts to attract exceptional executive officers, senior management and employees.

We believe that properly structured long-term incentive compensation arrangements work to align the long- term interests of our executive officers and stockholders by creating a strong, direct link between their compensation and stock price appreciation. Our service-based restricted stock unit awards will increase or decrease in value to the same extent as our common stock. Our

16

Compensation Committee recognizes that full value awards, such as restricted stock unit awards, have a greater intrinsic value to our executive officers than stock options and, therefore, may have an increased retention effect. Stock options may provide even greater motivation than full value awards to drive stockholder return, however, which is why our Compensation Committee also grants such equity awards.

In determining the size of the equity awards granted in 2014 to the named executive officers, as well as the mix of stock options and restricted stock unit awards, our Compensation Committee made its decisions based primarily on its members’ experience and knowledge, equity compensation data provided by Compensia, internal pay equity (that is, generally similar award sizes as among our executive officers, with larger awards to our CEO in light of his roles and responsibilities), our performance (that is, the progress as of the date of grant toward the achievement of the financial measures described above under the discussion of the 2014 Variable Pay Plan) and the potential dilutive effect on our stockholders. These factors were considered as a whole, without any specific weighting or formula.

In October 2014, our Compensation Committee approved the grant of the following stock options to the named executive officers:

Named Executive Officer	Stock Options (Number of Shares)		Stock Options (Grant Date Fair Value)
Mr. Jenks		75,000	$	150,818
Mr. Wallin		28,800	$	57,914
Mr. Sitler		28,800	$	57,914
Dr. Cheung		50,000	$	100,545
Dr. Yuen		40,000	$	80,436

Our Compensation Committee did not grant any restricted stock unit awards to the named executive officers in 2014; however, restricted stock unit awards were granted in March 2015 as a component of 2014 bonuses.

2014 Stock Option Repricing

In November 2014, our board of directors (upon recommendation from our compensation committee) approved a tender offer to reprice eligible stock options. Each eligible holder, including each of the named executive officers, was offered the opportunity to reduce the exercise price of an Eligible Option (defined below) to the closing trading price of our common stock on the first business day following the tender offer Expiration Time (December 18, 2014) in exchange for an eligible holder’s agreement to accept a new vesting schedule. On December 18, 2014, Eligible Options to purchase 1,948,631 shares of our common stock were repriced in the Repricing Offer. Stock appreciation rights (none of which were held by executive officers) were also included in the Repricing Offer.

The new exercise price per share for each repriced Eligible Option is $3.50. Each of the repriced Eligible Options is subject to a new vesting schedule as follows: 50% of the shares subject to such repriced Eligible Option shall vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2016, and the remaining 50% shall vest and become exercisable in 12 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary thereafter, in each case subject to continued service with us on each applicable vesting date. However, alternative vesting applies to certain Eligible Options as follows: (1) if the expiration date of such Eligible Options is after January 30, 2016, but on or before January 1, 2017, then 50% of the shares subject to the repriced awards will vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2016, and the remaining shares will be subject to ratable monthly vesting over the remaining term ending 60 days prior to the expiration date of the repriced awards; and (2) if the expiration date of such Eligible Options is prior to January 30, 2016, then 100% of the shares subject to the repriced awards will vest and become exercisable on the 60th day prior to the expiration date.

An “Eligible Option” was an outstanding option, excluding any Performance Award (as defined below), that:

• was held by an eligible holder;

• had an exercise price equal to or greater than $4.00 per share; and

• was granted under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our 2004 Stock Option Plan, or our 2011

Inducement Award Plan.

A “Performance Award” is an outstanding option or stock appreciation right that:

• was held by an eligible holder; and

17

• was granted under the 2010 Plan and vests on December 12, 2019, but which fully accelerates and vests if the average closing price of our common stock over a period of 20 consecutive trading days is equal to or greater than $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, recombinations and the like).

Participate in the repricing tender offer was voluntary. The participation of our named executive officers is listed below:

Named Executive Officer	Repriced Stock Options (Number of Shares)
Timothy S. Jenks		135,299
Clyde R. Wallin		75,000
Benjamin L. Sitler		65,400
Dr. Raymond Cheung		77,000
Dr. Wupen Yuen		76,200

The increases in value resulting from the repricing of the equity awards held by the named executive officers are set forth in the “2014 Summary Compensation Table” and the “2014 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” below.

Reasons for the Stock Option Repricing

We believe that equity awards are a critical component of our compensation philosophy, the focal point of which is to increase long-term stockholder value. We believe stock options and stock appreciation rights help us achieve this objective in several important ways: by aligning our employees’ interests with those of our stockholders, by motivating employees’ performance toward our long term success, and by encouraging our executives and employees who have received equity awards to continue their employment with us.

Despite our revenue growth and product achievements from 2012 to late 2014, our stock price declined. As of November 2014, the majority of our outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights continued to be “underwater,” meaning the exercise price of those options and stock appreciation rights was greater than the current stock price at that time, As a result, our board of directors believed that a substantial portion of our historically granted equity awards had little or no perceived value to the employees or other service providers who held them and therefore may no longer be effective as incentives to motivate and retain these individuals. Our compensation committee and board of directors also believed that we faced higher vulnerability to voluntary employee attrition following a company reorganization in the third quarter of 2014.

Our board of directors believed that it was critical to our future success to revitalize the incentive value of our outstanding equity awards to retain and motivate employees and recreate a personal stake in our long term financial success, and thereby align their interests with those of our stockholders. Our board of directors believed that without the proper balance between the long term components of our compensation structure (i.e., equity awards) and its short term components (i.e., salary and bonus), key employees and other service providers may not be properly motivated to align their interests with those of the stockholders and work toward reward for their contributions based upon increases in stock value. Our board also recognized our competition’s ability to attract and recruit top talent and viewed it as critical that we be able to retain and motivate key employees in this way. Our board believed that it has a responsibility to address these issues and to properly incentivize our employees, including our named executive officers.

None of our independent directors were eligible to participate in the stock option repricing tender offer. Our compensation committee and board of directors (with Mr. Jenks recusing himself) believed it was appropriate to include our executive officers (including our named executive officers) in the repricing in order to provide them with the same incentives and motivations as other employees. Since many outstanding Eligible Options were fully-vested (or soon would be fully-vested) our board also believed that the amended vesting schedule to January 1, 2017 for most repriced stock options provided additional retention incentives to our employees, including our named executive officers. In particular, our compensation committee and board of directors believed it was important to include Mr. Jenks in the stock option repricing, notwithstanding the fact that one of his repriced options will expire in 2015 and could not be extended beyond its 10-year expiration. Our compensation committee and board of directors believes that Mr. Jenks continued to provide important leadership and management ability to our company, and should be provided the same opportunity as other employees to participate in the Company’s long-term growth and align his incentives to more closely reflect current market conditions. Our board and compensation committee believed that these factors were particularly important for 2015 as Mr. Jenks continues to lead important initiatives to improve the profitability of our company.

Our compensation committee and board of directors also determined that Performance Awards should not be included in the repricing tender offer. These Performance Awards were intended to provide a reward and incentive to add shareholder value by achieving a stock price equal to or greater than $15.00 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. Our board and compensation committee believed that these incentives should stay in place under their existing terms, providing a continuing incentive for employees and named executive officers to build shareholder value substantially above our stock trading price at the time of the option repricing.

We provide the following benefits to our executive officers, including the named executive officers, based in the United States, on the same terms and conditions as provided to all other eligible employees:

• health, dental, and vision insurance;

• basic life insurance;

• medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts;

• short-term and long-term disability, accidental death and dismemberment insurance;

• a Section 401(k) defined contribution plan for U.S. based employees; and

• a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain of our U.S. employees including our U.S.-based executive officers, to provide them an opportunity to defer certain compensation on a pre-tax basis and accumulate tax-deferred earnings. None of our named executive officers participated in this plan in 2014 or earlier years, but Mr. Wallin began participating in January 2015.

We believe these benefits are consistent with benefits provided by other companies based on the experiences and individual knowledge of the members of our Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of similarly-situated executives at other companies and help us to attract and retain high quality executives. In addition, Dr. Cheung’s annual compensation includes RMB 62,498 ($10,143 based on an average exchange rate of RMB 6.1617 per U.S. dollar in 2014) to cover the cost of family health insurance premiums in the People’s Republic of China.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Consequently, we provide only limited perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, including the named executive officers. In considering potential perquisites, our Compensation Committee reviews the cost to us as compared to the perceived value of providing such benefits.

In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits in limited circumstances, such as where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual executive officer in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executive officers more efficient and effective, and for recruitment, motivation, or retention purposes. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by our Compensation Committee.

Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements

Each of the named executive officers is eligible to receive payments and benefits in the event of certain involuntary terminations of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company, under the terms of their respective severance agreements. These agreements (and the payments and benefits offered under each such agreement) reflect the negotiations of each of the applicable named executive officer as well as a desire to have internal parity among the named executive officers with respect to their potential severance arrangements. We consider these severance arrangements to be critical to attracting and retaining high caliber executives.

In addition, we believe that providing certain payments and benefits and partial vesting acceleration of outstanding and unvested equity awards in the event of a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company, if structured appropriately, serve to minimize the distractions to an executive officer and reduce the risk that a named executive officer terminates his employment with us before an acquisition is consummated.

For these reasons, in April 2012, we entered into new or amended severance agreements with our CEO and Drs. Yuen and Cheung to modify or to provide for enhanced change in control payments and benefits. In connection with his joining the Company as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Wallin in December 2013. We entered into an amended severance agreement with Mr. Sitler in October 2014.

We believe that these arrangements allow the named executive officers to focus on continuing normal business operations and, in the case of change in control payments and benefits, on the success of a potential business combination, rather than being distracted by how business decisions that may be in the best interest of our stockholders will impact each named executive officer’s own financial security. That is, we believe that these arrangements help ensure stability among the named executive officers, and will help enable the named executive officers to maintain a balanced perspective in making overall business decisions during periods of uncertainty.

Employee Stock Plans

Under the terms of our employee stock plans and agreements with our executive officers, including the named executive officers, the vesting of outstanding and unvested stock options and restricted stock unit awards is partially accelerated in the event of certain material corporate transactions, as well as in the event of certain involuntary terminations of employment following certain material corporate transactions.

We believe these accelerated vesting provisions are appropriate in light of the collective knowledge and experiences of the members of our Compensation Committee on compensating individuals in the positions held by our executive officers at other companies (without reference to any specific compensation peer group or any specific level of compensation), and, therefore, allow us to attract and retain high quality executive officers, and, in the case of accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company, the accelerated vesting allows our executive officers to focus on closing a transaction that may be in the best interest of our stockholders even though the transaction may otherwise result in a termination of their employment and, absent such accelerated vesting, a forfeiture of their unvested equity awards.

For a detailed description of our post-employment compensation arrangements with the named executive officers, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Other Compensation Policies

CEO Stock Ownership Guidelines

As part of our overall corporate governance policies, and to align the interests of our CEO with the interests of our stockholders, our board of directors believes that our CEO should have a significant financial stake in the Company. Accordingly, in April 2013, our board of directors adopted a policy that our CEO should own shares of our common stock with a value equal to or exceeding his or her then-current annual base salary. Pursuant to this policy, our CEO should attain this ownership level within two years from (i) April 25, 2013, for Mr. Jenks (our current CEO) or (ii) the date of becoming our Chief Executive Officer for any successor in this position. Our board of directors may evaluate, in its discretion, whether this requirement should be waived in the case of a Chief Executive Officer, who, because of his or her personal circumstances, would incur a hardship by complying with this requirement.

As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Jenks’ beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock exceeded his annual base salary.

We encourage our executive officers, including the other named executive officers, to hold a significant equity interest in our common stock, but have not set specific ownership guidelines for these individuals.

Hedging Prohibition Policy

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our executive officers, including the named executive officers, other members of management, and the non-employee members of our board of directors from engaging in short sales, transactions in put or call options, hedging transactions, or other inherently speculative transactions with respect to our securities. We adopted this policy as a matter of good corporate governance and because, by not allowing these individuals to engage in such transactions, they are subject to the full risks of ownership of their unvested equity awards. As a result, their equity compensation is strongly correlated to stock price performance over the vesting period.

Equity Award Grant Policy

It is our policy not to purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information in consideration of a pending equity award to allow the recipient to benefit from a more favorable stock price. Annual awards are typically considered each summer after our public release of second quarter financial results.

Compensation Recovery Policy

At this time, we do not have a formal policy regarding the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of the award or payment. We intend to adopt a general compensation recovery (“clawback”) policy covering our annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements once the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows public companies a tax deduction for federal income tax purposes of remuneration in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and each of the three other most highly-compensated executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) in any taxable year. In addition to certain rules that exempt pre-existing arrangements approved prior to our initial public offering from the limits of Section 162(m), generally remuneration in excess of $1 million may only be deducted if it is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of the Code. In this regard, the compensation income realized upon the exercise of stock options granted under a stockholder-approved stock option plan generally will be deductible so long as the options are granted by a committee whose members are non-employee directors and certain other conditions are satisfied.

Our Compensation Committee believes that, in establishing the cash and equity incentive compensation plans and arrangements for our executive officers, the potential deductibility of the compensation payable under those plans and arrangements should be only one of a number of relevant factors taken into consideration, and not the sole governing factor. For that reason, our Compensation Committee may deem it appropriate to provide one or more executive officer with the opportunity to earn incentive compensation, whether through cash incentive awards tied to our financial performance or equity awards tied to the executive officer’s continued service, which may be in excess of the amount deductible by reason of Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Code.

Our Compensation Committee believes it is important to maintain cash and equity incentive compensation at the requisite level to attract and retain the individuals essential to our financial success, even if all or part of that compensation may not be deductible by reason of the Section 162(m) limitation.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our Compensation Committee takes into account whether components of the compensation for our executive officers will be adversely impacted by the penalty tax imposed by Section 409A of the Code, and aims to structure these components to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences.

“Golden Parachute” Payments

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we, or a successor, may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. We did not provide any executive officer, including any named executive officer, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 during 2014 and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any named executive officer with such a “gross- up” or other reimbursement.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We follow Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”) for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and members of the board of directors, including stock options, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our executive officers may never realize any value from their awards. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based compensation awards in their income statements over the period that an executive officer is required to render service in exchange for the stock option or other award.

Compensation committee report

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Amendment No.1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A with management. Based on our Compensation Committee’s review of, and the discussions with management with respect to, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our Compensation Committee recommended to our board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment No.1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and incorporated into our Annual Report on Form 10-K we filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Compensation risk assessment

From time to time, our board of directors and our Compensation Committee review the potential risks associated with the structure and design of our various compensation plans. In 2013, our board of directors and our Compensation Committee undertook a comprehensive review of the material compensation plans and arrangements for all employees and determined that none of our compensation policies and practices is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Overall, our board of directors believes that our compensation programs generally contain a balance of fixed and variable features, as well as complementary performance measures and reasonable goals, all of which operate to mitigate risk and reduce the likelihood of employees engaging in excessive risk-taking behavior with respect to the compensation-related aspects of their jobs. In addition, the material compensation plans and arrangements operate within the corporate governance and review structure that serves and supports our risk mitigation practices.

Summary compensation table

The following table provides information for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, regarding the compensation of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and each of our three other most highly compensated persons serving as executive officers, or our named executive officers, for 2014.

(1) The amounts in this column are performance-based cash bonuses in respect of performance for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, but were actually paid in the following calendar year.

(2) Amount reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted, calculated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for share based payment transactions. The valuation assumptions used in determining such amounts are described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2015. These amounts do not reflect the actual economic value realized by the named executive officers. Option awards amounts in 2014 include repriced stock options with an incremental grant date fair value of $90,006, $59,163, $51,525, $50,779 and $42,823 for Mr. Jenks, Mr. Wallin, Dr. Cheung, Dr. Yuen and Mr. Sitler, respectively.

(3) The amounts in this column are performance-based bonuses in respect of performance for the year ended December 31, 2014, but were actually paid/are to be paid in 2015. Bonuses consist of cash and restricted stock unit awards. See the discussion under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Components—Annual bonus.” The dollar amount of the portion of the performance-based bonuses paid in restricted stock unit awards was $189,723, $72,092, $88,840, $66,087 and $56,919 for Mr. Jenks, Mr. Wallin, Dr. Cheung, Dr. Yuen and Mr. Sitler, respectively. The number of shares subject to these restricted stock unit awards was determined by dividing the dollar amount of the performance-based bonus to be paid in restricted stock units divided by the average closing price of our common stock for a 24-day calendar period from March 3, 2015 through March 26, 2015.

(4) Dr. Cheung’s salary in 2012, 2013 and 2014 was RMB 1,938,001, RMB 2,080,000 and RMB 2,118,400, respectively. Conversion to U.S. dollars is based on an average exchange rate of RMB 6.3116, RMB 6.1891 and RMB 6.1617 per U.S. dollar in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

(5) Dr. Cheung’s bonus in 2012, 2013 and 2014 was RMB 750,000, RMB 433,237 and RMB 1,006,187, respectively. Conversion to U.S. dollars is based on an average exchange rate of RMB 6.3116 in 2012, RMB 6.1891 in 2013 and RMB 6.1617 in 2014.

(6) Represents family health insurance premiums of RMB 62,498. Conversion to U.S. dollars is based on an average exchange rate of RMB 6.1617 per U.S. dollar in 2014.

(1) Reflects awards under our 2014 Variable Pay Plan as described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” There were no thresholds or maximum amounts approved for the named executive officers.

23

(2) Options granted on October 8, 2014 were granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant, which was determined by reference to the closing sales price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date. Options granted on December 18, 2014, were stock options repriced on that date, and the exercise price is equal to 100% of the fair market value on the date of repricing, which was determined by reference to the closing sales price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the repricing date.

(3) In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, this column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of each equity award, calculated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for stock-based payment transactions. For each option award, the grant date fair value is calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Options granted on December 18, 2014, were stock options repriced on that date, and the fair value reflected is the incremental fair value attributed to the repricing of the options. The valuation assumptions used in determining such amounts are described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2015. These amounts do not reflect the actual economic value realized by the named executive officers.

The material terms of the named executive officers’ annual compensation, including base salaries, bonus opportunities, equity awards and potential severance benefits are described in greater detail below under the section titled “Employment agreements.” The explanations of the amounts of compensation awarded in 2014, including how each individual element of compensation was determined, are set forth in the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” As discussed in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the number of stock option awards and restricted stock units granted is determined by our board of directors based on a number of subjective factors. Typically, restricted stock units granted to our named executive officers vest over 36 months with 1/3rd of the shares vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant and stock option grants to our named executive officers vest over 48 months with 25% of the options vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting monthly over the next 36 months, and in each case subject to continued employment (except as such vesting may be partially accelerated upon certain material corporate transactions or involuntary terminations of employment). However, RSUs granted in March 2015 as part of 2014 bonuses were fully vested upon grant. The stock option grants and the restricted stock unit grants were made under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. We did not pay dividends on our common stock during 2014.

Outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2014

The following table presents certain information concerning outstanding equity awards held by each of our named executive officers as of December 31, 2014. All vesting is generally contingent upon continued employment with us, except as such vesting may be partially accelerated upon certain material corporate transactions or involuntary terminations of employment.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table Stock Option Repricing

In November 2014, our board of directors approved a tender offer to reprice eligible stock options. Each eligible holder, including Named Executive Officers, was offered the opportunity to reduce the exercise price of an eligible option to the closing trading price of our common stock on the first business day following the expiration time of the tender offer (December 18, 2014) in exchange for an eligible holder’s agreement to accept a new vesting schedule. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this Amendment No.1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for further information regarding our stock option repricing.

Timothy S. Jenks.On March 30, 2010, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Mr. Jenks. Prior to the execution of this letter agreement, we had not entered into a binding offer letter with Mr. Jenks. Pursuant to this letter agreement, Mr. Jenks continues to serve, on an at-will basis, as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. This employment letter agreement provides for an annual base salary of $320,000 per year, subject to periodic review and adjustment. The letter also indicates Mr. Jenks’ general eligibility for annual variable pay based on our performance, our stock awards and long-term incentives.

Effective as of April 30, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the amended and restated severance rights agreement with Mr. Jenks, which amends and restates the prior severance rights agreement with Mr. Jenks dated as of April 13, 2010. The amended and restated agreement provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Mr. Jenks’ employment, subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, Mr. Jenks would receive the following severance benefits: (1) a lump sum severance payment equal to (A) 24 months of his base salary and (B) 100% of his target bonus for the year of termination; (2) paid premiums for continued health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents for up to the first 24 months following termination of employment; and (3) the vesting of all of Mr. Jenks’ outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service over the 18-month period following termination.

27

The agreement also provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Mr. Jenks’ employment within 12 months following a Change in Control and subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, Mr. Jenks would receive the following severance benefits: (1) a lump sum severance payment equal to (A) 24 months of his base salary and (B) 200% of his target bonus for the year of termination; and (2) paid premiums for continued health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents for up to the first 24 months following termination of employment. In addition, the agreement provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Mr. Jenks’ employment within 12 months following a Change in Control, and subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, the vesting of all of Mr. Jenks’ outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate in full.

Finally, the agreement provides for a supplemental cash payment, in addition to any death benefits payable under our life insurance policies, in the event that Mr. Jenks’ employment terminates due to his death while he is outside of his country of residence (for any reason), if necessary to provide for total death benefits equal to two times his then-current annual base salary.

Clyde R. Wallin.In December 2013, we entered into an offer letter with Mr. Wallin to serve as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, on an at-will basis. The offer letter provides for an initial annual base salary of $285,000 per year, subject to periodic review and adjustment. The letter also indicates Mr. Wallin’s general eligibility for annual variable pay based on our performance, stock awards and long term incentives. The letter also refers to the fact that we would enter into a severance rights agreement with Mr. Wallin.

We entered into a severance rights agreement with Mr. Wallin on January 6, 2014. The severance rights agreement provides for the payment of severance benefits to Mr. Wallin in the event of the termination of his employment as described below.

Dr. Raymond Cheung.On August 14, 2007, consistent with local labor laws in China, we entered into a fixed-term labor contract with Dr. Cheung which expired on June 30, 2012, and effective as of July 1, 2012, we entered into a new fixed-term labor contract with Dr. Cheung which is set to expire on June 30, 2016, unless terminated prior to such date upon any of the following: (i) Dr. Cheung reaches retirement; (ii) Dr. Cheung dies or has been pronounced dead or missing by a Chinese court; (iii) our bankruptcy; (iv) the revocation of our business license, termination of our business, or our dissolution; or (v) as required by law. Upon the ordinary course expiration of the term of employment, if Dr. Cheung is still employed by us, the labor contract will remain valid until the labor contract is renewed or until either party rescinds the employment relationship.

On April 30, 2012, we entered into a new severance rights agreement with Dr. Cheung. The agreement provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Dr. Cheung’s employment, subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, Dr. Cheung would receive the following severance benefits: (1) the greater of (A) a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months of his base salary or (B) cash severance benefits payable to Dr. Cheung under applicable laws and regulations where Dr. Cheung provides services to the Company; (2) reimbursement of health insurance premiums for him and his eligible dependents for up to the first 24 months following termination of employment; and (3) the vesting of all of Dr. Cheung’s outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service over the 18 month period following termination.

The agreement also provides that in the event of a Change in Control in which the acquirer does not assume Dr. Cheung’s outstanding and unvested equity awards, the vesting of all of Dr. Cheung’s outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service with the Company over the 18 month period following the closing of the Change in Control transaction.

Finally, the agreement provides for a supplemental cash payment, in addition to any death benefits payable under the Company’s life insurance policies, in the event that Dr. Cheung’s employment terminates due to his death while he is outside of his country of residence (for any reason), if necessary to provide for total death benefits equal to two times his then-current annual base salary.

Dr. Wupen Yuen.In January 2005, we entered into an offer letter with Dr. Yuen to serve as our Director of Business Development on an at-will basis. The offer letter provides for an initial annual base salary of $165,000 per year, subject to periodic review and adjustment. Effective as of April 30, 2012, we entered into an amended and restated severance rights agreement with Dr. Yuen, which amends and restated the prior severance rights agreement with Dr. Yuen dated as of December 24, 2008, as amended April 13, 2010. The amended and restated agreement provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Dr. Yuen’s employment, subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, Dr. Yuen would receive the following severance benefits: (1) a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months of his base salary; (2) paid premiums for continued health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents for up to the first 24 months following termination of employment and (3) the vesting of all of Dr. Yuen’s outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service over the 18 month period following termination.

The agreement also provides that upon an Involuntary Termination of Dr. Yuen’s employment within 12 months following a Change in Control and subject to his execution of a binding release of claims, Dr. Yuen would receive the following severance benefits: (1) a lump sum severance payment equal to (A) to 24 months of his base salary and (B) 200% of his target bonus for the year of termination; (2) paid premiums for continued health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents for up to the first 24 months following termination of employment; and (3) the vesting of all of Dr. Yuen’s outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service over the 24 month period following termination.

29

The agreement also provides that in the event of a Change in Control in which the acquirer does not assume Dr. Yuen’s outstanding and unvested equity awards, the vesting of all of Dr. Yuen’s outstanding equity awards (and the rate of lapsing of any repurchase rights applicable to shares received under such awards) will accelerate as to the number of shares that would have vested subject to continued service over the 18 month period following the closing of the Change in Control transaction.

Finally, the agreement provides for a supplemental cash payment, in addition to any death benefits payable under our life insurance policies, in the event that Dr. Yuen’s employment terminates due to his death while he is outside of his country of residence (for any reason), if necessary to provide for total death benefits equal to two times his then-current annual base salary.

Under these rules, the number of shares of common stock deemed outstanding includes shares issuable upon exercise of options and warrants held by the respective person or group which may be exercised or converted within 60 days after March 31, 2015. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person or entity, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.

Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, to our knowledge, each stockholder named in the following table possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares listed, except for those jointly owned with that person’s spouse.

In July 2014, we extended our then-current investment commitment milestone to March 31, 2015. In March 2015, we further extended our investment commitment milestone to June 30, 2015. If we fail to meet the investment commitment by such date, we may be required to pay a $5.0 million penalty as the sole and exclusive remedy for damages and monetary relief available to Rusnano for failure to meet the Investment Commitment.

37

We also entered into a Commitment to File Registration Statement and Related Waiver of Registration Rights with Rusnano on December 18, 2014, whereby Rusnano waived certain registration rights in connection with a potential offering by us of shares of our common stock, and we committed to file with the SEC a resale registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all shares of our common stock held by Rusnano. We filed such resale registration statement on April 6, 2015. Rusnano also waived its demand registration rights under the original rights agreement and agreed to enter into a lock up agreement with us whereby it would agree not to sell any shares of our common stock, or engage in certain other transactions relating to our securities, for a period of 60 days from the filing date of the resale registration statement. Rusnano signed such lock up agreement with us on April 2, 2015.

Indemnification of officers and directors

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of a director for monetary damages resulting from breach of his fiduciary duty as a director.

Our bylaws provide that:

• we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions;

• we may indemnify our other employees and agents as provided in indemnification contracts entered into between us and our employees and agents;

• we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions; and

• the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our current directors and officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We have also obtained directors’ and officers’ insurance to cover our directors, officers and some of our employees for liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws. We believe that these indemnification provisions and agreements and this insurance are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Policies and procedures for related party transactions

We believe that we executed all of the transactions set forth above on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates, are approved by the Audit Committee of our board of directors, and are on terms no less favorable to us than those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

All related party transactions will be reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Pursuant to our code of business conduct and ethics, the Audit Committee is responsible for approving, prior to our entry into any transaction involving related parties, all transactions in which we are a participant and in which any parties related to us has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In reviewing and approving these transactions, our Audit Committee will obtain, or will direct our management to obtain on its behalf, all information that the committee believes to be relevant and important to a review of the transaction prior to its approval.

Director independence

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, independent directors must compose a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period following that company’s listing date in conjunction with its initial public offering. In addition, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Audit Committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

38

Our board of directors has previously undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, our board of directors determined that each of Messrs. Abbe, Carano, Kwan, Ramaswami, Akhanov, Sophie and Ting are “independent directors” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, constituting a majority of independent directors of our board of directors as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
