 2009 Plan with Respect to Mr. Asai 
 With respect to Mitsuo Asai, the target cash bonus will be determined according to a formula expressed as up to 35% of his base salary of 26 million Japanese Yen, and will be subject to adjustments based on the
percentage to which the targeted applicable performance criteria is achieved. Mr. Asai is eligible to receive a cash bonus based on the achievement of the following goals: (i) a goal based upon API’s total consolidated sales (which
represents 50% of such bonus amount); (ii) a goal based upon API’s total spine sales (which represents 25% of such bonus amount); and (iii) a goal based upon API’s profits before taxes (which represents 25% of such bonus amount).
In the event that API’s profits before taxes exceed certain target levels, Mr. Asai will be entitled to receive a cash bonus based on a higher percentage of his base salary. The bonus will be payable after the end of the Company’s
2009 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee of the Board approved the applicable total sales, spine sales and profits before taxes targets with respect to Mr. Asai. 
 2009 Plan with Respect to Mr. Lubischer 
 With respect to Mr. Lubischer, the target cash bonus amount will be
determined based upon the Company’s achievement of certain sales goals in the U.S. Upon 100% achievement of all of such sales targets, Mr. Lubischer’s bonus would be equal to approximately 100% of his base salary of $245,000. In the
event that U.S. sales exceed certain target levels, Mr. Lubischer will be entitled to receive a cash bonus that is higher then the percentage of his base salary set forth above. Two-thirds of Mr. Lubischer’s bonus is payable
quarterly, based on the achievement of quarterly sales targets and one-third of Mr. Lubishcer’s bonus is payable following the end of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, based on the achievement of annual sales targets. The Compensation
Committee of the Board approved the applicable sales targets with respect to Mr. Lubischer. 
 For all Named Executive Officers, the Company (or API,
with respect to Mr. Asai) must first achieve a threshold of financial performance that has been established by the Compensation Committee of the Board, before an eligible Named Executive Officer may receive any cash bonuses under the 2009 Plan.
In addition, an eligible Named Executive Officer must be employed by the Company at the time the payment is made in order to receive any bonus payment.
