REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule (the “Disclosure Schedule”) delivered by the Company to Purchaser on or prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser on the Signing Date and the Closing Date as follows:

2.1 Organization and Standing. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority necessary for it to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (and, to the extent described therein, as described in the SEC Reports). Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of its businesses makes such qualification necessary, except where any failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws that are listed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “10-K”) are complete and correct copies thereof.

2.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of March 31, 2015, (i) 93,493,979 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock were held in the treasury of the Company or by any Subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, 257,779 shares of Common Stock were issuable (and such number was reserved for issuance) upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans filed with the SEC Reports (the “Plans”), restricted stock units covering 2,359,776 shares of Common Stock

As of the Signing Date, the Company had outstanding SARS with respect to not more than 1,803,146 shares of Common Stock as to which not more than zero shares of Common Stock would be issuable based on a price of Common Stock of $0.50 per share. Since March 31, 2015, the Company has not issued any shares of its capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such capital stock, other than those shares of capital stock reserved for issuance as set forth in this Section 2.2. As of the Signing Date, no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The Company has no stock option, incentive or similar plan other than the Plans. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except for the preemptive rights held by APERAM under the APERAM Securities Agreement, if any, all of the shares of Common stock subject to issuance under the Plans, Warrants, Convertible Notes and SARS, upon issuance prior to the Closing Date on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The Offered Securities have been duly and validly authorized and when issued, sold and delivered by the Company in accordance with this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in this Section 2.2, there are no outstanding options, warrants, conversion rights, subscription rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights or agreements of any nature outstanding to subscribe for or to purchase any shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company of any kind binding on the Company. Except for the preemptive rights held by APERAM under the APERAM Securities Agreement, if any, the issuance by the Company of the Offered Securities is not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar limitation or any other claim, Lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest applicable to the assets of the Company, except those which have been waived. There are no restrictions upon the voting or transfer of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. There are no agreements or other obligations (contingent or otherwise) that may require the Company to repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock.

2.3 Authorization; Enforceability. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents, except Stockholder Approval. No other corporate proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary for the valid execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance and consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents to be performed by the Company, except the Stockholder Approval or as has been obtained or waived. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, when executed and delivered by it, will have duly executed and delivered the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent

conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). Assuming the due execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party (other than this Agreement) by Purchaser, each of such Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.4 No Violation; Consents.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 Shelf Registration. On or before the date that is nine months following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (such registration statement and the prospectus included therein being referred to as the “Registration Statement”) for a public offering of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or issuable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates upon exercise of any option, warrant or other security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (the “Registrable Securities”). Such offering shall be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Rule 415”). If Rule 415 limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a Registration Statement otherwise required to be filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall promptly file an additional Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities excluded from such prior Registration Statement. The Company shall also use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as Purchaser may reasonably request.

4.2 Company Obligations. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Company shall:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement, and such documents and reports to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, as necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities;

(b) furnish to Purchaser such number of copies of Registration Statements and prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request;

(c) promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of any comments that the SEC provides in writing to the Company pertaining to a Registration Statement, and any responses thereto from the Company to the SEC;

(d) promptly provide notice to Purchaser when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto the same has become effective;

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to qualify the Registrable Securities for offer and sale under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Purchaser reasonably requests;

(g) pay all expenses incurred in connection with such registration, including registration and filing fees with the SEC, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to Purchaser and the Company, printers’ and accountants’ fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or quotation of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any underwriting discounts, underwriting commissions, or underwriting fees attributable to the sale of the Registrable Securities shall be borne by Purchaser;

(h) enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) if requested by Purchaser, including representations and warranties by the Company and other terms and provisions that are customarily contained in underwriting agreements generally with respect to secondary distributions, including customary lock up provisions, indemnification and contribution provisions in favor of the underwriters and customary agreements as to the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters; and

4.3 Registration Statement Effectiveness; Piggyback Registrations.

(a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to continue to be effective until the date that Purchaser has either disposed of or has the ability to dispose of all Registrable Securities without any volume or manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Effective Period”), and, during such period, to cause the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein to be updated as reasonably deemed necessary by the Company or required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to enable Purchaser to resell the Registrable Securities.

(b) If at any time during the Effective Period, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans) then, not fewer than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of such registration statement, the Company shall send to Purchaser a written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice, Purchaser shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities Purchaser requests to be registered, provided that Purchaser agrees to the same terms and conditions regarding method of sale applicable to the securities otherwise being sold through such registration. If such registration statement relates to an underwritten public offering and the underwriter of such proposed offering advises the Company and Purchaser that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in the registration statement (including securities to be sold by Purchaser or any other security holder) exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within an acceptable price range, then the Company shall include in such registration statement first the registrable securities required to be registered pursuant to a request under the APERAM Securities Agreement, second the Registrable Securities Purchaser proposes to register, and third any securities the Company or any other security holder proposes to register.

(c) Promptly upon any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.3 being declared effective by the SEC, the Company will file a related form of final prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(d) Purchaser agrees to indemnify (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the Company, its officers, directors, employees and agents and each underwriter and selling broker, if any, and each person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against liabilities, losses, claims, damages, actions or expenses (including, in each case, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) arising by reason of any statement contained in a registration statement (including any Registration Statement), or any amendment or supplement thereto, that Purchaser provided to the Company in writing explicitly for use in such registration statement, being actually or allegedly false or misleading or actually or allegedly omitting to state a material fact necessary to be stated in order that the statements made in such registration statement, in the circumstances in which they are made, not be misleading; provided that in no event will the aggregate amount Purchaser be required to pay pursuant to such indemnification obligations exceed the greater of the aggregate purchase price paid by Purchaser hereunder and the amount of the net proceeds received by Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees and agents and each underwriter and selling broker, if any, and each person, if any, who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against liabilities, losses, claims, damages, actions or expenses (including, in each case, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) arising by reason of (i) any statement (other than a statement provided by Purchaser as described above) in or incorporated by reference in a registration statement (including any Registration Statement), or any amendment or supplement thereto, being

actually or allegedly false or misleading or actually or allegedly omitting to state a material fact necessary to be stated in order that the statements made in or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, in the circumstances in which they are made, not be misleading, or (ii) any actual or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection with a registration statement.

(e) To the extent a claim for indemnification under this Section 4.3 is unavailable (by reason of public policy or otherwise) or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, was taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for herein had been available to such party in accordance with its terms.

(f) The Parties hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof, including the provisions of this Section 4.3, and are fully informed regarding such provisions.

4.4 Suspension. Upon delivery of a notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to Purchaser, the Company may suspend the use of any Registration Statement if: (a) in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Board, after consultation with counsel, such suspension is necessary to delay disclosure of material non-public information that would be seriously detrimental to the Company, and the Board concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interest of the Company to suspend use of the Registration Statement at such time, and (b) the Company furnishes to Purchaser a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company to disclose such material non-public information and that it is, therefore, in the best interest of the Company to suspend availability of the Registration Statement at such time; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have the right to suspend use of the Registration Statement for a period (a “Blackout Period”) of not more than (A) twenty (20) consecutive trading days, and (B) an aggregate of forty-five (45) days during any twelve (12) month period, (ii) the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than two times during any 12-month period, and (iii) the Effective Period shall be extended for the amount of time that the Registration Statement is unavailable due to such a deferral. Upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, Purchaser shall discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Blackout Period has ended. The Company shall be permitted to enter stop transfer instructions

with the Company’s transfer agent with respect to the Registrable Securities during any Blackout Period.

4.5 Current Public Information. As long as Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities that are not otherwise eligible for sale as contemplated by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file all required reports with the SEC, or otherwise make available “adequate current public information” about itself, within the meaning of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, to potentially make available to Purchaser the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities without registration.

(to Investment and Securities Purchase Agreement)

Dispute Resolution

(a) All Disputes not otherwise settled by agreement between the Parties shall be finally settled by binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) by arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules then in effect, except to the extent the Rules conflict with the provisions of this Schedule 4, in which event the provisions of this Schedule 4 shall control. The Parties specifically agree that any time before the Tribunal has been appointed, a party may seek a preliminary injunction or other interim relief before a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent necessary to preserve the status quo or to preserve a party’s ability to obtain meaningful relief pending the outcome of the arbitration under this Schedule 4.

(b) In the event of any Dispute and before arbitration may be commenced, upon notice by any Party to the other Party to such Dispute (the “Dispute Negotiation Notice”), such Dispute must immediately be referred to one representative of the executive management of the Company designated by the Company and one representative of the executive management of Purchaser designated by Purchaser, who must be authorized to settle the Dispute. Such representatives must promptly meet in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. If the representatives so designated do not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Dispute Negotiation Notice, the Dispute will be exclusively and finally resolved by binding arbitration as described in this Schedule 4.

(c) The arbitration shall be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom must be fluent in English and be neutral and independent of the parties to the Dispute (the “Tribunal”). The claimant shall appoint one arbitrator and the respondent must appoint one arbitrator, as provided in the Rules. The third arbitrator shall be selected by the two arbitrators so appointed; provided that if the two arbitrators so appointed fail to select the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date on which the second of such two arbitrators is appointed, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC Court. The third arbitrator, regardless of how selected, shall chair the Tribunal.

(d) The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong SAR. The arbitration shall be conducted in English; provided that (i) any party thereto, at its cost, may provide for the translation of the proceedings into a language other than English, (ii) any party thereto may elect to submit documents or other information to the Tribunal in English, and (iii) any witness whose native language is not English may elect to give testimony in English or in such witness’s native language, with simultaneous interpretation into English if such testimony is given in such native language. If simultaneous interpretation is so made, the interpreter will be appointed by the Tribunal. Each party to any arbitration or its legal counsel may also hire an interpreter at such party’s own expense, and may participate in the examination and cross-examination of witnesses at any hearing.

(e) Unless the Tribunal orders an earlier date or the parties to the arbitration otherwise agree, not less than thirty (30) days before the beginning of the evidentiary hearing,

Schedule 4-1

each party to the arbitration shall submit to the other parties to the arbitration the documents that it may use at the hearing and a list of the witnesses whom such party may call at the hearing.

(f) The Tribunal shall have no authority to award any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, and each Party irrevocably waives its right to recover any such damages.

(g) The decision of the Tribunal will be final and binding. Any award made in the arbitration will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, including without limitation in any jurisdiction where one or more of the parties is domiciled or has assets. For purposes of an action for recognition or enforcement of the award, each party irrevocably waives any objection that it might have to personal jurisdiction in the courts of a jurisdiction where one or more of the parties is domiciled or has assets.

(h) Notwithstanding the pendency of any arbitration, the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect; provided that no Party will be considered in default under this Agreement (except for defaults for the payment of money) during the pendency of an arbitration specifically relating to the default. The non-prevailing party in any arbitration shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such arbitration, unless the Tribunal determines otherwise.

The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to encourage the Tribunal to enter a final award resolving the Dispute within 90 days from the appointment of the Tribunal. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Schedule 4, the parties to any arbitration under this Schedule 4 may agree at any time to discontinue and terminate such arbitration.
