1.1      Objectives. The 2015 Adleman Incentive Plan (“Plan”) of Active Power,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is an annual bonus program
designed to motivate and reward Mr. Randall J. Adleman for his contributions
towards the achievement of bookings (i.e. order) growth, a goal that we believe
drives our operating results and creates long-term stockholder value. This is an
annual bonus plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meanings
assigned in Section 4.

This Plan supersedes and replaces all prior short-term cash incentive
compensation programs for Mr. Adleman.

For Mr. Adleman to be eligible for a payout in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan for a given fiscal year, he must be employed on the day of a bonus
payout under this Plan in order to be eligible for any payout.
