Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On April 30, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Dr. Richard Craig as the President of its Integrated Photonics Division, effective April 28, 2014. Prior to joining the Company, from July 2011 to September 2013, Dr. Craig, aged 58, served as CEO and Chairman of Topanga Technologies, a privately held advanced lighting company.  From August 2008 to October 2010 he served as CEO of Kaai, Inc., a privately held GaN laser company, and simultaneously served as COO of Soraa Inc., a privately held LED company.  From July 2007 to November 2007, he served as interim CEO of Picarro, a privately held rare gas measurement company.  From September 2001 to July 2006 he served as CEO of Santur Corp, a privately held optical components company. From September 1989 to July 2001 he served in various managerial roles at SDL Inc. (acquired by JDSU), an optical components company.   Dr. Craig holds a bachelor’s degree in Physical Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley and a PhD. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.  Dr. Craig serves on the board of directors of Topanga Technologies and will remain associated with the company through its ongoing winding down process.

Dr. Craig will receive a base salary of $300,000 per year for his service as President of the Company's Integrated Photonics Division and he will be eligible for annual bonuses, to be paid semi-annually, based upon achievement of individual and/or company performance goals. At full achievement of such goals, the total annual target bonus will be equal to 60% of his base salary. The Company expects to grant to Dr. Craig 100,000 shares of restricted stock and stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the stock option grant will



equal the closing price of the common stock on the grant date. The restricted stock awards will vest as follows: 25% of the shares will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and, with respect to the remaining shares, 6.25% of the shares will vest on each February 10th, May 10th, August 10th and November 10th after the initial vesting date over the following three years of continuous service. The stock options will vest and become exercisable as follows: 25% of the shares subject to the option will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and, with respect to the remaining shares, 2.083% of the shares will vest following each month of continuous service thereafter for the following three years.
On May 1, 2014, Dr. Terry Unter, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, informed the Company that he intends to resign effective June 2, 2014. Simultaneously, Jim Haynes, previously President of the Company's Integrated Photonics Division, was appointed as the Company's Chief Operating Officer.

The Company has delivered 978,457 shares of Common Stock in connection with the cashless exercise of the Warrants.
As previously announced, the offer and sale of the Warrants, which were issued on May 6, 2013, was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as such transaction did not involve a public offering of securities.
