Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

our officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. SEC regulations also require these persons to furnish us with a
copy of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us and written representations from our officers who are required to file Section 16(a) forms and our directors, we believe that
all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met during fiscal 2010.

Audit Committee

The current members of the Audit Committee are John Mutch (Chair), Jon S. Castor and Lawrence J. Ruisi. Each of the members of our Audit
Committee is independent as defined by the rules of the NASDAQ and meet the financial literacy requirements of NASDAQ. Each of the current members served on our Audit Committee during our fiscal 2010.Our Board of Directors has
determined that Mr. Ruisi qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and meets the NASDAQ financial sophistication requirement of having past employment experience in
finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individuals financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer,

liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties,
obligations or liabilities of any other member of our Audit Committee or the Board of Directors.

which reports to the Audit Committee. In addition, any related-person transactions, excluding compensation (whether cash, equity or otherwise), which is delegated to the Compensation Committee, involving one of our directors or executive officers,
must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee or another independent body of the Board of Directors.

and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It also incorporates our expectations of our employees that enable us to provide accurate and timely disclosure in our filings with the SEC and other public communications. In
addition, it incorporates our guidelines pertaining to topics such as health and safety compliance; diversity and non-discrimination; supplier expectations; and privacy. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct, Ethics, and Compliance is

Marketing and Business Development, and John Noellert, our former Vice President of World Wide Sales. Mr. Sundareshs employment with us was terminated effective January 4, 2010.
Effective January 5, 2010, Mr. Sundaresh became a consultant for us. Mr. Quicke was appointed to serve as our Interim President and CEO effective January 4, 2010. Messrs. Noellerts and Lowes employment with us was
terminated effective November 20, 2009 and March 5, 2010, respectively.

Compensation Philosophy and Overview

We believe that the most effective compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of our
financial and strategic goals, and which aligns executives interests with those of our stockholders.

The compensation
programs for our named executive officers have three principal elements which are developed in part by referencing the 50th percentile of our comparable market: a base salary, cash incentive bonuses linked to achievement of financial and corporate
goals, and equity-based incentive compensation. The base salary is designed to serve as a fixed portion of compensation; the cash incentive bonus serves as an incentive for our executives to drive short-term corporate financial and non-financial
goals without excessive risk-taking; and the equity-based incentive compensation is designed to drive our longer-term performance, retain executives through longer-term vesting and align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of
our stockholders by providing a performance-based ownership stake in us. In addition, we provide our executive officers benefits that in most cases are available generally to all of our salaried employees. As further discussed below, we largely view
these primary components of our compensation as distinct in that we seek to provide salary, bonus and equity awards that are each competitive at appropriate levels with our peer companies.

The compensation philosophy of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) is to keep cash
compensation at a competitive level while providing the opportunity to be significantly rewarded through equity if ADPT and our stock price perform well over time. We believe that our executive officers should have a larger portion of their equity
incentive awards at risk compared with our other employees. Specifically, we believe that over the long term, executive officers should have a greater percentage of their equity compensation in the form of stock options and performance-contingent
stock rather than time-based restricted stock, as the economic value of stock options and performance-contingent stock is more aligned with the objectives of our stockholders.

Fiscal 2010.    In addition to the factors that the Committee normally considers in formulating
our compensation program in fiscal 2010, the Committee also took account of several specific factors that impacted our business: (1) a change in the composition of the Board of Directors (Board) effective November 6, 2009, as a
result of which fewer than a majority of our Directors were previously Incumbent Directors, as defined in certain of our compensation plans and agreements; (2) a change in executive leadership effective January 4, 2010 with the termination
of Mr. Sundaresh, our former CEO, and the appointment of John J. Quicke as Interim President and CEO, effective January 5, 2010; (3) aggressive cost cutting initiatives; and (4) a planned transaction to sell certain of our
operations and assets (Sale of Operations). As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2010, the term Sale of Operations means a sale of substantially all of operating assets of the
Company, excluding cash, real property and intellectual property not sold in the transaction.

Because of these
circumstances, the Committee did not make significant changes to base salaries, except for our CFO. The Committee kept base salaries generally at the prior years level due to the Committees desire to contain costs and the
Committees belief that an overall increase in base pay was not required to keep the Company reasonably competitive with the base pay of our peers. Additionally, the Committee reverted back to an annual measurement as opposed to two six-month
bonus periods when evaluating the financial goal attainment for cash bonus incentives, as our prior fiscal year had two distinct events which included the divestiture of the Snap Server NAS business which occurred in the first half of fiscal 2009
and our acquisition of Aristos Logic in the second half of fiscal 2009. The Committee continued to measure non-financial goal attainment in two six-month bonus periods (instead of an annual measurement), which is consistent with our prior fiscal
year. The financial measurement goal for fiscal 2010 was based upon meeting a specified level of pro-forma operating

profit (loss) before income taxes (OPBT). The OPBT differs from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating profit (loss) in that OPBT primarily excludes
stock-based compensation expense, expense associated with our management liquidation pool, restructuring charges and impairment charges of long-lived assets.

Equity compensation granted to executive officers included two elements: stock options and performance-contingent stock. The stock options
and performance-contingent stock shows our intent to increasingly utilize equity awards where the ultimate value of the award is more closely linked to our performance and growth in stockholder value.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The current members of the Committee are Jon S. Castor, who is the Chair of the Committee, Jack L. Howard and John Mutch. Robert
J. Loarie served on the Committee during fiscal 2010 until he ceased serving on our Board effective October 30, 2009. He was replaced by Mr. Howard in November 2009. During fiscal 2010, Mr. Quicke also served as a member of the
Compensation Committee. He was replaced by Mr. Mutch in December 2009. Mr. Castor served on the Committee for all of fiscal 2010.

The Committee ensures that our executive compensation and benefits program is consistent with our compensation philosophy and our
corporate governance guidelines and is empowered to determine executive officers total compensation, and, subject to the approval of the Board, to determine our CEOs total compensation.

The Committee reviews our overall compensation strategy at least annually to ensure that it promotes stockholder interests, supports our
strategic and tactical objectives and provides for appropriate rewards and incentives for our executive officers.

In fiscal
2010, all Committee members attended all Committee meetings, except for one meeting. Typically, Committee meetings are also attended by our CEO, CFO and our Vice President of Human Resources, for all appropriate portions of such meetings.

Review of Executive Officers and their Compensation

The Committee and our Board are responsible for the review of our CEOs performance. In the beginning of fiscal 2010, the Chairman of
the Committee led a formal review that included a self-evaluation by the CEO and input from each member of the Board. The results were shared with the CEO, members of the Committee and all members of the Board.

Our CEO annually reviews the performance of each of our other executive officers. As part of this process, each executive officer also
completes a self assessment of his/her performance.

Our CEO rates the performance of his direct staff and the Committee rates
the performance of our CEO in consultation with the other non-executive directors of the Board.

Our CEOs recommendations
based on his reviews of executives reporting to him, peer compensation surveys and other relevant information, including with respect to continued employment, salary adjustments, incentive awards and equity award amounts, are presented to the
Committee. The Committee thoughtfully considers the CEOs recommendations when exercising its own judgment in making compensation decisions and awards to our executive officers who report to the CEO.

Survey Analysis

In fiscal 2010, we engaged Radford Surveys + Consulting, a business unit of AON Consulting (Radford), to provide comprehensive
compensation data. Radford conducts a number of compensation surveys for the technology industry. The surveys compare compensation practices for executives among other high technology companies and cover base salary, cash incentives, stock equity
incentive grants and total cash as a percentage of total direct compensation.

##### Table of Contents

Radford provides quarterly summaries of industry trends to our Vice President of Human
Resources, which enables Human Resources to remain current on total compensation trends for the broader population and for executive officers. This information is shared with the Committee. Our Vice President of Human Resources also reviews the
Radford Total Company Results survey comprised of data for executives from approximately 125 technology companies with $50 million to $200 million in annual revenues. In addition to this information, which is shared with the Committee, the Committee
also considers other reference points in reviewing compensation data. In particular, the Committee reviews the Radford Total Custom Company Results survey provided by Radford that compares executive compensation information for a peer group of high
technology companies or their divisions, with $100 million to $500 million in annual revenues. The peer group is primarily in the storage, computer peripherals, and semiconductor components businesses with which we compete for executive and
technical employees. The list of peer companies, their industry classification and revenue ranges is as follows:

External Advisors

The Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors, and does so as needed. In fiscal 2010, the
Committee selectively engaged the services of Compensia as an independent advisor to assist the Committee in its review of fiscal 2010 Board compensation and composition, and review of retention programs related to a change of control. In the
projects that the Committee assigned to Compensia, there were no restrictions placed on the scope of Compensias review of our compensation arrangements with our executive officers and in its review of Board compensation. During fiscal 2010,
the Committee selectively engaged the services of compensation legal specialists with Fenwick & West LLP, Cooley Godward Kronish LLP and Bryan Cave LLP for legal advice in connection with compensation related matters.

Accounting and Tax Implications of Our Compensation Policies

In designing our compensation programs, the Committee considers the financial accounting and tax consequences to us, as well as the tax
consequences to employees. We account for equity compensation paid to our employees under the accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation, which requires us to estimate and record an expense over the service period of the award. The
stock-based compensation cost of our equity awards is considered by management as part of our equity grant recommendations to the Committee.

##### Table of Contents

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1 million on the amount
of compensation that we may deduct for income tax purposes in any one year with respect to our CEO and certain other of our most highly compensated executive officers. This limitation does not apply to compensation that is considered
performance-based under applicable tax rules. Our annual incentive plan, executive stock options and our performance-based restricted stock awards are intended to qualify as performance-based, so that compensation
attributable to these forms of equity incentives is fully tax deductible. However, time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), awarded by us in prior years do not meet the requirements of Section 162(m) as performance-based.
Therefore, the fair market value of the shares that vest during a particular year will be counted along with other non-performance-based compensation in that year in determining whether the $1 million limit for non-performance-based compensation is
exceeded. Although we also provide cash compensation to executives in forms that do not meet the requirements for performance-based compensation, such as base salary and annual incentive pay, we have no individuals who received
non-performance-based cash compensation in excess of the Section 162(m) tax deduction limit in fiscal 2010. In future years, payment of cash or settlement of restricted stock or RSU amounts may be non-deductible because they are not
performance-based under Section 162(m). The Committee has determined that it is important to retain flexibility and competitiveness in its compensation program, and that while it is also important to be mindful of the $1 million limit,
compensation in excess of the $1 million limit may not always qualify as performance-based within the meaning of Section 162(m).

Fiscal 2010 Executive Compensation Program

Components of our Compensation Program

Base Salary.    Base salaries serve as the fixed cash portion of executive compensation. In fiscal 2010, we
generally maintained the base salary for each of the persons who were named executive officers at the same level as the fiscal 2009 salaries. The Committees goal in fiscal 2010 was to benchmark salaries at or near the middle (50th percentile)
of the market based on the survey information discussed above under Survey Analysis, input from Compensia, and the Committee determined that salary increases were not necessary to achieve this level of compensation. We believe the
officers should be paid competitively and generally not above or below the market data unless their experience, capabilities, and/or responsibilities warrant either a higher or lower placement compared to market. The base salaries of our executive
officers reflect their relative positions and responsibilities.

Mr. Quicke, our Interim President and
CEO, receives a cash payment of $30,000 per month for his service in such capacity, which is in addition to his compensation as a non-executive member of our Board. Mr. Quicke does not participate in the benefit programs generally available to
all salaried employees of the Company. Although Mr. Quicke has received a discretionary bonus upon recommendation of the Committee and approval of the Board, in recognition of his leadership in the successful Sale of the Companys DPS
Business to PMC Sierra (as described below in Actions Taken After the Completion of Fiscal 2010), Mr. Quicke is not eligible to participate in the AIP (as described below). In addition, Mr. Quicke received no Equity-Based Long
Term Incentive Compensation for his role as Interim President and CEO, but does receive equity awards for his services as a Board member on the same basis as all non-executive Board members. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee,
determined to compensate Mr. Quicke as described above based upon the fact that Mr. Quicke would be spending substantially all of his business time working in the capacity as the Interim President and CEO of the Company, but that such
amount was below the amount that our former CEO was paid, as well as the
50thpercentile of the Radford surveys described above
under the heading Survey Analysis. Additionally, in light of the fact that Mr. Quickes status as an officer of the Company was only on an interim basis, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee, determined to
continue to grant Mr. Quicke compensation for his service on our Board on the same basis as all non-executive Board members, and not to award Mr. Quicke any other benefits (including those described in the preceding paragraph) that our
executive officers have historically been provided.

In fiscal 2010, the Committee agreed, based on the recommendation by
management, to temporarily reduce annual base salaries for our employees, including each of our named executive officers, by 10% from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. The annual base salary of Mr. Sundaresh, our former CEO, was
$450,000, and was

##### Table of Contents

temporarily reduced to $405,000 from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. Mr. Sundareshs annual base salary had not changed since April 1, 2006 primarily due to our
determination to be consistent with lower revenue companies in the Radford Total Company Results ($100 million  $200 million Revenue) and the Radford Total Custom Company Results ($100 million  $500 million Revenue) surveys for CEO base
salaries. The annual base salary of Ms. Dotz, our Vice President and CFO, was $265,000, and was temporarily reduced to $238,500 from April 1, 2009 to December 15, 2009. In fiscal 2010, effective December 16, 2009, Ms. Dotz
annual base salary was increased to $325,000; however, she continued to receive the temporary annual base reduction of 10% of such amount, or $292,500 on an annualized basis, from December 16, 2009 to December 31, 2009.
Ms. Dotzs annual base salary was set at the
75thpercentile of the Radford Total Custom Company
Results instead of the 50thpercentile to reflect the
additional responsibilities requested of her by the Board in relation to the Sale of Operations. Prior to the increase in her annual base salary that was effective December 16, 2009, the annual base salary of Ms. Dotz remained the same
since she joined us on March 31, 2008. The annual base salary of Mr. Lowe, our former Vice President of Marketing, was $240,000, effective April 6, 2009, and was temporarily reduced to $216,000 from April 1, 2009 to
December 31, 2009. His annual base salary was based on his title change, which was determined largely by benchmarking to peers at the 50th percentile of the Radford Total Custom Company Results. Prior to the reduction in his annual base salary
that was effective April 6, 2009, Mr. Lowe served as the Vice President of Business Development and earned an annual base salary of $260,000. The target annual earnings of Mr. Noellert, our former Vice President of Worldwide Sales,
who was a named executive officer for fiscal 2009, was $310,000, and was temporarily reduced to $279,000 from April 1, 2009 to November 20, 2009, his termination date. Mr. Noellerts target annual earnings included both annual
base salary of $217,000 and annual target incentives for revenue-related achievements of $93,000, which had not changed since August 20, 2007. Mr. Noellerts target annual earnings were determined largely by benchmarking to peers at
the 50th percentile of the Radford Total Custom Company Results. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the CEO and the Committee established the performance targets that served as the basis for awarding Mr. Noellert his incentive pay. In fiscal
2010, from April 1, 2010 to November 20, 2010, his termination date, Mr. Noellert earned commissions of $49,440, which represented 22.8% of his annual base salary. Prior to the increase in his annual target earnings on August 20,
2007, Mr. Noellerts earned a target annual earnings was $291,500 in his prior role as Vice President of Sales for North America.

Executive Bonus Incentive Program.    We maintained the ADPT Incentive Plan (the AIP) through
fiscal 2010. The AIP is a cash incentive program for our employees, including those identified as our named executive officers. In fiscal 2010, the AIP consisted of two components: financial goals and non-financial corporate goals, each of which is
approved by the Committee. The Committee placed greater emphasis on the financial goals as we sought to drive our performance primarily through specific objective financial metrics. As a result, 75% of the funding of the AIP incentive pool (the
AIP Pool) was tied to financial goals and 25% of the funding of the AIP Pool was tied to non-financial corporate goals. The financial goals component was based upon us achieving a minimum threshold of OPBT for fiscal 2010, which
was measured during the first fiscal quarter of the following fiscal year. The Committee determined the specific non-financial corporate goals to be met and applied a weight for each goal in consultation with management. Achievement of the
non-financial corporate goals was measured in two six-month bonus periods. The cash bonus incentive amounts for the first half of fiscal 2010 were determined at the beginning of the third fiscal quarter of the current fiscal year while the cash
bonus incentive amounts for the second half of fiscal 2010 were determinate at the beginning of the first fiscal quarter of the following fiscal year.

The individual target bonus for each of our named executive officers was established when the named executive officer was hired to his or
her position and is based upon a percent of his or her salary. Each year, the Committee validates that the target bonus remains appropriate for the officers role based on market data. An executive officer can earn between 0% and 200% of his or
her target incentive. The Committee referenced the same Radford survey data discussed above for each position held by an executive officer to assist us in determining cash bonus incentive targets as a percentage of base salary. As with other
elements of compensation, the Committee focused principally on the 50th percentile of market. The bonus levels awarded to our executive officers were based on our achievement levels with respect to the financial and non-financial corporate goals,
and on the basis of their individual performance. The differences in target bonuses among our named executive



9

##### Table of Contents

officers were based on their relative positions and responsibilities within our company and were based on the relative target bonus amounts reflected in the survey data. For fiscal 2010, the
target bonus payment for Mr. Sundaresh was 85% of his annual base salary, and 50% of Mr. Lowes and Ms. Dotzs respective annual base salaries. Mr. Noellert was not eligible to participate in our AIP, as his target
bonus payment was tied to sales achievement. Mr. Quicke was also not eligible to participate in our AIP. Based upon this structure, Mr. Sundaresh could have received an actual bonus of between 0% and 170% of his annual base salary for the
fiscal year. The annual target bonus was 85% of his annual base salary, or $382,500.

The non-financial corporate goals as
discussed below are typically proposed by the CEO to the Committee, refined in response to the Committees guidance, and ultimately determined by the Committee. The performance factors utilized by the Committee and the CEO in the case of the
named executive officers were: 1) performance to their individual and organizational goals; 2) contributions to achievement of the corporate goals; 3) contributions to achievement of the financial goals; and 4) subjective evaluation of their
leadership. These goals have been intended to be difficult but achievable. Individual performance for executive officers, other than our CEO, is based on an evaluation by our CEO and the Committee, and the Committee determines the level of our
CEOs achievement of his individual goals and discusses this with the Board. The Committee also discusses with the Board our performance with respect to financial and non-financial goals, based on managements assessment and
recommendations to the Committee, after referring to the relevant performance data, including in some cases preliminary unaudited financials, as provided to the Committee by management. The Committee reserves the right to adjust upward or downward
based on the final audited financials.

The financial goal achievement for fiscal 2010 was not attained as we incurred a
negative OPBT during the fiscal year. In order to reach a minimum payment level for the financial goal, the AIP required the achievement of an OPBT above $0. The non-financial corporate goals achievement was at 55% (on a weighted average basis) for
the first half of fiscal 2010 and 87.5% (on a weighted average basis) for the second half of fiscal 2010. The non-financial corporate goals included specific engineering milestones, the successful launch and design wins of the MaxIQ product line and
other targeted ADPT products within large datacenter accounts, partnership agreements relating to compression and encryption, Intellectual Property sale transactions and a reduction of operating expenses. The Committee established these goals as
stretch goals and believed that, taken as a whole, they were achievable, but challenging to accomplish. As a result of the level of achievement, the Committee approved a funding budget for the AIP Pool of 35.625% for the fiscal year. The funding
budget was determined by the following weighted average calculation: (55% x 25% corporate goals for the first half of fiscal 2010, or 13.75%) plus (87.5% x 25% corporate goals for the second half of fiscal 2010, or 21.875%) plus (0% x 75% financial
goals, or 0%) = 35.625%. Using its discretion, the Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, a zero cash bonus incentive award for Mr. Sundaresh for the non-financial corporate goals achieved in the first half of fiscal 2010.
Mr. Sundaresh was not eligible for the non-financial corporate goal attainment award for the second half of fiscal 2010 due to his termination on January 4, 2010. Ms. Dotzs budgeted target was $132,500 for the first half of
fiscal 2010 and $162,500 for the second half of fiscal 2010; the Committee approved an actual non-financial corporate goal attainment award of $16,000 for the first half of fiscal 2010 and $18,000 for the second half of fiscal 2010. The amounts were
determined after taking into account Ms. Dotzs leadership, fiscal management, and participation in the Sale of Operations. Mr. Lowes budgeted target was $120,000; the Committee approved an actual corporate goal attainment award
of $12,000 for the first half of fiscal 2010. Mr. Lowe was not eligible for the corporate goal attainment award for the second half of fiscal 2010 as he was terminated on March 5, 2010. The amount was determined after taking into account
Mr. Lowes project management of the launch of SSD Cache products in datacenters and the project management of the patent clusters. Messrs. Noellert and Quicke were not eligible to participate in our AIP.

Mr. Sundaresh received was based on one six month period only (the first half of fiscal 2010), in which the Board, based on the recommendation of the Committee, did not award him any cash bonus incentive.

|(4) | Mr. Quicke was not eligible to participate in the AIP.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | As discussed above, Mr. Lowes employment with us was terminated effective March 5, 2010. As a result, the cash bonus incentive that Mr. Lowe
received was based on one six month period only (the first half of fiscal 2010).
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(6) | Mr. Noellert was not eligible to participate in the AIP, as his target bonus payment was tied to sales achievement. Mr. Noellert earned commissions of $49,440
in fiscal 2010, which represented 22.8% of the annual base salary.

Equity-Based Long Term Incentive
Compensation.    The Committee prefers to use stock options and performance-contingent stock awards to ensure that our executive officers have a continuing stake in our long-term success and to better align their interests
with the interests of our stockholders. The Committee continued the past practice of granting options with a three-year vesting schedule to promote stockholder value growth, and introduced performance-contingent stock as a substitute for some of
what would have been, in the past, time-based restricted stock grants. Vesting of the performance-contingent stock is tied to us achieving positive OPBT of 10% of revenue and a return on net assets of 20%. Stock options were also granted in August
2009. Additionally, Ms. Dotz was granted shares of restricted stock contingent upon receiving consideration in the Sale of Operations in an amount greater than $20 million. Ms. Dotz received this grant in December 2009 as an incentive to
retain her and due to her increased responsibilities in assisting with the Sale of Operations. The Committee believes that performance-contingent stock and stock options provide management with an incentive to improve financial performance for the
benefit of stockholders while also minimizing potential dilution and compensation expense.

The 50th percentile of the Radford surveys noted above was generally used as a reference
point in setting the level of executive officers equity awards. The Committee evaluated the value of awards to determine a recommended range for each of our executive officers based on their relative positions and responsibilities.
Mr. Sundareshs equity compensation was evaluated by reference to the CEO position; Ms. Dotz to the CFO/Senior Financial Executive position; Mr. Lowe to the Senior Business Development Executive and/or the Senior Marketing
Executive position; and Mr. Noellert to the Senior Worldwide Sales Executive position. The Committee granted options covering a larger number of shares subject to three-year vesting and a larger number of shares of three year
performance-contingent stock rather than two-year time-based restricted stock due to its desire to emphasize longer term financial performance with the goal of benefiting our stockholders. The lower number of shares subject to awards granted to
Mr. Lowe reflects the more limited nature of his business development role compared to the financial and sales roles held by Ms. Dotz and Mr. Noellert, respectively. The cumulative value of the awards were determined by calculating
the stock option award value using a Black-Scholes methodology, and the time-based and performance-contingent restricted stock awards using their full-value at date of grant. The results were then compared to the 50th percentile of equity grants
noted in the Radford surveys above.

The following table provides information of all equity awards granted to our named
executive officers during fiscal 2010.

|(1) | Mr. Quicke did not receive any equity awards in connection with becoming the Interim President and CEO or on account of his services rendered in such capacity. All
equity awards granted to Mr. Quicke were in his capacity as a director and are reflected in the Director Compensation Table below.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below further describes the stock option grants and performance-contingent stock awards
made to the executive officers during the fiscal year.

All equity-based awards have been reflected in our Consolidated
Financial Statements. We do not have any program, plan or practice that requires us to grant equity-based awards to our executive officers on specified dates and we have not made grants of such awards that were timed to precede or follow the release
or withholding of material non-public information. Our practice has been to grant equity-based awards at regularly scheduled Committee and Board meetings. The exercise prices of options are determined based on the closing price of our common stock
on the date that the grants are approved.

Perquisites.    Our executive officers are eligible for
the same health and welfare programs and benefits as other ADPT employees. In addition, all vice president level executives, including our executive officers, receive a car allowance valued at $650 per month, and are eligible for an annual executive
physical. In addition, executive officers receive reimbursement for personal financial and tax advice up to $2,500 per year, and

##### Table of Contents

survivor benefit management services up to a maximum of $3,000. Mr. Quicke is not eligible to participate in any of the aforementioned perquisites.

Employment Contracts

As of March 31, 2010, we had entered into written employment agreements with each of our executive officers, except for
Mr. Quicke, our Interim President and CEO, based on an assessment of competitive market terms and a determination of what is needed to attract and retain the executive officers. These employment agreements provide that if such officer is
terminated other than for cause (which includes violation of material duties, refusal to perform his/her duties in good faith, breach of his/her employment agreement or employee proprietary information agreement, poor performance of
duties, arrest for a felony or certain other crimes, substance abuse, violation of law or our policy, prolonged absence from duties or death), he or she is entitled to receive (1) his or her unpaid base salary and unused vacation benefits he or
she has accrued prior to the date of his or her termination; (2) a one-time payment equal to 12 months of base salary for Mr. Sundaresh, and nine months of base salary for Ms. Dotz, and Messrs. Lowe and Noellert, plus an additional
week of base salary for each year of service beyond three years of service with the Company; (3) outplacement services in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for Messrs. Sundaresh and Lowe or $5,000 for Ms. Dotz and Mr. Noellert; and
(4) reimbursement for coverage for the executive officer and his or her dependents under ADPTs health, vision and dental insurance plans pursuant to COBRA for a 12-month period for Mr. Sundaresh, and a nine-month period for
Ms. Dotz and Messrs. Lowe and Noellert following the termination of employment. The Committee (including its predecessors) selected these amounts at the time these executives were hired by us (or promoted to an executive position) based on its
reasoned judgment, including considering prior practice within ADPT, information gathered from outplacement companies and, for agreements entered into after the Committee retained Compensia in January 2007, severance data provided by Compensia.

Employment agreements for Ms. Dotz and Mr. Noellert had a three-year term. Employment agreements for Messrs.
Sundaresh and Lowe did not have a term limit because they were given prior to term limit implementation by the Committee. Each of the employment agreements of Messrs. Sundaresh, Lowe and Noellert and Ms. Dotz also allow for the granting of
stock options and stock awards under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan as deemed appropriate by ADPTs CEO and/or the Board. In addition, the employment agreement for Ms. Dotz provides for: (i) the payment of a $25,000 retention bonus on
each of October 1, 2008 and April 1, 2009 if she is an active employee of us on those dates, (ii) an option to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of
grant, vesting with respect to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of Ms. Dotzs hire date and with respect to the balance of the shares in equal quarterly installments over the following 36 months of service and
(iii) a restricted stock award of 50,000 shares, 50% of which will vest on the first anniversary of her hire date and the remaining 50% of which will vest on the second anniversary of her hire date.

Mr. Sundareshs employment with us was terminated effective as of January 4, 2010. In connection with his termination, the
Company and Mr. Sundaresh agreed upon the following severance arrangement in consideration of Mr. Sundaresh signing a general release in favor of us (collectively, the Separation Agreement): (1) a lump-sum severance
payment equal to $460,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings; (2) reimbursement of COBRA premium benefit payments for up to one year or until January 31, 2011; (3) acceleration of 398,334 unvested stock options, which became
immediately vested and exercisable on January 4, 2010; (4) the exercisability of all vested stock options on January 4, 2010 will be extended to the later of six months after a closing of a Sale of Operations or September 30,
2010, unless the term of the option expires prior to any of those dates; (5) acceleration of 50,000 unvested restricted stock awards on January 4, 2010; (6) cancellation of 175,000 unvested restricted stock units on January 4,
2010; and (7) reimbursement up to $10,000 for legal fees incurred in connection with negotiating the Separation Agreement.

In addition, Mr. Sundaresh entered into a Consulting Service Agreement with us dated as of December 21, 2009 (Consulting
Agreement). The Consulting Agreement provides that Mr. Sundaresh will receive $500 per hour for services provided through December 31, 2010, and will also be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in accordance with our policies
and practices. The Consulting Agreement also provides for Mr. Sundaresh to receive

##### Table of Contents

additional compensation based on the achievement of specified objectives, including objectives related to the potential sale or other disposition of certain of our assets and business operations.
The Separation Agreement and Consulting Agreement supersede all prior agreements, negotiations and discussions between the parties.

Mr. Noellerts employment with us was terminated effective November 20, 2009. In connection with his termination,
Mr. Noellert received: (1) a lump-sum payment equal to twelve months of his target annual earnings, less applicable taxes and withholdings; (2) a lump-sum payment equal to $12,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings;
(3) reimbursement of COBRA benefit payments until November 30, 2010; (4) outplacement services valued at up to $5,000 and (5) reimbursement of $6,539 for legal fees incurred in connection with the termination.

Mr. Lowes employment with us was terminated effective March 5, 2010. In connection with his termination, Mr. Lowe
received: (1) a lump-sum severance payment equal to $260,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings; (2) a targeted bonus payment equal to $130,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings; (3) reimbursement of COBRA benefit payments
until March 31, 2011; and (4) outplacement services valued at up to $10,000.

Change of Control

As of March 31, 2010, the change of control arrangements of our executive officers, except for Mr. Quicke, our Interim President
and CEO, with whom we do not have a change of control arrangement or agreement, are set forth in their employment agreements, and are as follows:

If within one year of a change of control (1) there is a material reduction of the annual base and target incentive compensation
specified in his or her employment agreement to which he or she does not consent, (2) there is a failure of our successor after a change of control to assume his or her employment agreement, (3) his or her employment is terminated without
cause by our successor, (4) there is a substantial change in his or her position or responsibility or (5) his or her position relocates to more than 25 additional commute miles (one way) and he or she elects to be terminated, then he
or she will receive, upon signing a separation agreement and general release: (a) a one-time payment equal to his or her then-current annual base pay for Messrs. Lowe and Noellert (one and one-half times annual base pay in the case of
Mr. Sundaresh and nine months of base pay for Ms. Dotz), (b) his or her then-current targeted bonus payout, (c) COBRA benefits for one year for Messrs. Sundaresh, Lowe and Noellert (nine months in the case of Ms. Dotz),
(d) outplacement services not to exceed $10,000 for Messrs. Sundaresh and Lowe ($5,000 in the case of Ms. Dotz and Mr. Noellert), and (e) accelerated vesting of his or her stock options and restricted stock awards as provided for
under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The Agreements do not provide for any tax gross-ups.

Under our 1990 Stock Plan, 1999
Stock Plan and our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, in the event of a change of control, any awards outstanding upon the date of such change of control will have single trigger vesting accelerated as of the date of such change of control as
to an additional 25% of the unvested shares subject to such awards. We no longer make awards under our 1990 and 1999 Stock Plans. As discussed more fully below, the Committee determined during fiscal 2009, effective for awards made on or after
October 23, 2008, to no longer make awards that provide for single trigger acceleration. However, the Committee left unchanged a provision in our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan providing that, if within 12 months following a change
of control, an employee is terminated for any reason other than cause (a double trigger), such employees awards outstanding upon such change of control that are unexercisable and unvested on such date shall become 100% vested
and exercisable. As discussed above, as a result of the change in the composition of the Board, a change of control, as defined in our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, occurred for awards granted prior to October 23, 2008. As a
result, (i) 25% of a participants unvested pre-October 23, 2008 awards vested and (ii) if an equity award recipient is involuntarily terminated prior to November 5, 2010, all remaining then unvested pre-October 23,
2008 awards will accelerate and be 100% vested and exercisable on such employees termination date. No change of control has occurred for awards granted on or after October 23, 2008.

The Committee eliminated the single trigger acceleration of vesting upon a change of control described above, effective for
all awards on or after October 23, 2008. With this change and the three-year term limit, we believe our future executive severance and change of control practices are now more generally in line with those

in place at other technology companies. We believe these change of control arrangements, the value of which are contingent on the value obtained in a change of control transaction, effectively
create incentives for our executive team to build stockholder value and to obtain the highest value possible should we be acquired in the future, despite the risk of losing employment and potentially not having the opportunity to otherwise vest in
equity awards which comprise a significant component of each executives compensation. These arrangements are intended to attract and retain qualified executives who could have other job alternatives that may appear to them to be less risky
absent these arrangements. Except for the acceleration of a portion of the grants previously given to our executive officers as described above, our change of control arrangements for our executive officers are double trigger, meaning
that acceleration of vesting does not occur upon a change of control unless the executives employment is terminated involuntarily (other than for cause) within 12 months following the transaction. We believe this structure strikes the
appropriate balance between executive recruitment and retention, the needs of potential acquiring companies, who often place significant value on retaining an executive team, and our desire to contain the cost of any change of control to our
stockholders.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The ADPT Deferred Compensation Plan was terminated in fiscal 2008 resulting in the distributions of funds held under the plan during
fiscal 2008 to the named executive officers who participated in the plan.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Committee reviewed our employee compensation policies and practices and determined that such policies and practices, taken as a whole,
are not likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Committee review included all elements of employee compensation, with particular attention paid to our AIP and equity grants, which the Committee believes would be the elements of our
compensation that would be most likely to lead to excessive risk taking. The Committee does not believe that the AIP has led to excessive risk taking for participating employees based in part upon the fact that maximum payments under such program
are capped and non-financial corporate goals are also utilized to determine cash incentive payments. The Committee does not believe that equity grants to employees in the form of stock options subject to three-year vesting and three-year performance
contingent stock have led to excessive risk taking primarily because such grants are designed to align recipient employees interests with the longer term financial performance of the Company, although the Committee regularly reviews these
incentive instruments to ensure that their structure and terms continue to provide the proper incentives to management.

Consistent with the emerging trend to defer certain types of bonus payments to help ensure that a material portion of executive bonus
compensation is dependent on subsequent events that confirm that the bonus was well founded, effectively tying these type of rewards more closely to the actual outcomes that stockholders experience, when the Committee recommended and the Board
approved on June 17, 2010 a discretionary bonus for Mr. Quicke, our Interim President and CEO, 50% of the bonus award was deferred to December 31, 2010. Payment of the deferred portion of the bonus is subject to the Committees
and the Boards determination that the benefits expected from the sale of the DPS Business have been substantially realized by the Company. In light of the sale of the DPS Business (described under Actions Taken After the Completion of
Fiscal 2010) and other changes to our operations, the Committee will be re-evaluating our compensation policies and procedures going forward. As part of this re-evaluation, the Committee also plans to consider the potential merits of early
implementation of a clawback policy, consistent with the provisions in the recently signed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Actions Taken After the Completion of Fiscal 2010

On May 18, 2010, the Committee approved a 4% increase to the annual base salary or annual target incentives for employees providing
transitional services after the sale of our business of providing data storage hardware and software solutions and products (DPS Business) to PMC-Sierra, Inc., including the salary of Ms. Dotz, our CFO, retroactive to April 1,
2010. Effective April 1, 2010, Ms. Dotz annual base salary was $338,000.

##### Table of Contents

On May 18, 2010, the Committee also agreed to modify and accelerate substantially all
employee unvested stock-based awards, including those related to Ms. Dotz, our CFO. The acceleration of the stock-based awards occurred the earlier of (1) June 8, 2010, the date the Company consummated the Asset Purchase Agreement
with PMC-Sierra, Inc. for the sale of certain assets and for PMC-Sierra to assume certain liabilities related to the DPS Business or (2) the date in which an employee was involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) as part of the actions we
took related to its sale of the DPS Business. In addition, the Committee approved cash bonuses of approximately $2.8 million in lieu of certain unvested-stock-based awards that were not accelerated for all employees, including Ms. Dotz, our
CFO, for which Ms. Dotz received a cash bonus of $0.1 million. The actions approved by the Committee did not impact stock-based awards previously granted to Mr. Quicke, our Interim President and CEO, in his capacity as a member of our
Board.

In June 2010, Ms. Dotz also received $0.1 million bonus due to the amount of consideration received for the
consummation of the sale of the DPS Business to PMC-Sierra on June 8, 2010 in relation to the awards granted to her in December 2009, in which the achievement of a Sale of Operations occurred in an amount greater than $20 million. As a result
of the bonus payment, the awards granted in December 2009 were cancelled.

On June 17, 2010, the Board, upon the
recommendation of the Committee, approved a discretionary cash bonus of $500,000 to Mr. Quicke, our Interim President and CEO, in connection with his successful efforts to consummate the sale of the DPS Business to PMC-Sierra. Of the $500,000
cash bonus, $250,000 was paid in July, and the remaining $250,000 is payable on December 31, 2010, upon the Company substantially realizing the benefit from the sale of the DPS Business and an effective transition following the disposition of
the DPS Business.

Ms. Dotz employment with us will terminate effective September 30, 2010. In connection with her
termination, Ms. Dotz will receive: (1) a lump-sum severance payment equal to nine months of her base pay, less applicable taxes and withholdings; (2) a targeted bonus payment equal to $169,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings;
(3) reimbursement of COBRA benefit payments until June 30, 2011; and (4) outplacement services valued at up to $5,000. These terms are consistent with Ms. Dotzs employment agreement and were offered in consideration of
Ms. Dotzs agreement to execute a release in favor of ADPT. In addition, on June 9, 2010, the Committee agreed to provide a service-based retention award of $75,000 to Ms. Dotz to ensure a smooth transition, contingent on
Ms. Dotz continuing as our employee through September 30, 2010.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The following table describes the potential payments and benefits upon termination of our named executive officers employment before
or after a change of control of us, calculated as if each officers employment terminated as of March 31, 2010. For purposes of valuing the severance and vacation payout payments in the table below, we used each officers base salary
rate in effect on March 31, 2010, and the number of accrued but unused vacation days on March 31, 2010.

responsibility or (4) the officers position relocates to more than 25 additional commute miles (one way).

|(4) | Under our 1990 Stock Plan, 1999 Stock Plan and 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, if within 12 months following a change of control, which occurred on
November 6, 2009, an employee is terminated by the successor employer for any reason (a double trigger), such employees outstanding awards that are not yet exercisable and vested on the date of such change of control shall
become 100% vested and exercisable. The value of the equity acceleration was calculated based on the assumption that the change of control occurred and the officers employment terminated on March 31, 2010, and that the fair market value
per share of our common stock on that date was $3.27, which was the closing trading price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on March 31, 2010. The value of option vesting acceleration was calculated by multiplying the number of
unvested shares subject to acceleration by the difference between $3.27 and the exercise price per share of the accelerated option. The value of stock vesting acceleration was calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares by $3.27. As
discussed under Actions Taken After the Completion of Fiscal 2010, the equity awards whose value is represented in this table were accelerated on June 8, 2010 at the fair market value of $3.03.

Director
Compensation

Overview

During fiscal 2010, Mr. Sundaresh, our former CEO, received no additional or special compensation for also serving as a director. Our
non-employee directors receive a combination of cash and equity compensation for serving on our Board. In addition, we reimburse non-employee directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings. In
addition to his compensation as a non-executive member of our Board, Mr. Quicke received $30,000 per month for his service as our Interim President and CEO.

Effective September 4, 2009, the Board confirmed the appointment of Joseph S. Kennedy as Chairman of the Board and approved his full
duties and compensation. However, as a result of the successful consent solicitation by the Steel Group, Mr. Kennedy resigned from our Board, effective November 6, 2009. On November 2, 2010, the Board confirmed the appointment of
Mr. Howard as Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board collaborates with and assists management, on behalf of the Board, in connection with development of our financial and operating plan and our strategic and product plans.
Mr. Howard will also review and evaluate, on behalf of the Board, the functioning and capabilities of our management team and our operations, and perform the duties normally incident to the role of Chairman.

Cash Compensation

In fiscal 2010, our non-employee directors (including Mr. Quicke) received (1) an annual cash retainer of $26,000 paid at the
rate of $6,500 per fiscal quarter, (2) a per-meeting fee of $2,000 for each Board meeting attended (either in person or by telephone); provided, however, the Chairman of the Board may designate a given meeting as a $1,000-reduced-fee meeting
and (3) a per-meeting retainer of $1,200 for each Board committee meeting attended that the Chairman of the committee designates a formal meeting; provided, however, a Committee Chairman may designate a committee meeting as a $600-reduced-fee
meeting. In addition, (1) the Chairman of the Board was entitled to receive an annual retainer of $10,000 and (2) the Chairmen of the Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees were entitled to receive an annual retainer
of $10,000, $7,000 and $4,500, respectively, and other members of such committees receive one-half of the retainer that the Chairman of such committee receives. The Board retainer and all Board and committee meeting fees are paid quarterly. Board
Chairman and the Chairman of the committee cash retainers are paid annually, at the end of the fiscal year, and are prorated in the event of partial-year service.

In May 2009, the Board formed a committee consisting of Messrs. Castor, Kennedy and Ruisi to review and explore the strategic alternatives
of the Company, which was called the Strategic Committee. Subsequently, Mr. Howard was added to the Strategic Committee. At a special meeting of the Board held on November 16, 2009, the Strategic Committee was dissolved, effective
immediately. However, in December 2009, the Board formed a second Strategic Committee, consisting of Messrs. Ruisi, Castor and Howard, with Mr. Ruisi serving as the Chairman of the Strategic Committee, in order to review and explore strategic
alternatives of the Company, including the evaluation and negotiation of a possible sale of our assets and operations. Our Board approved compensation for members of the Strategic Committee in the amount of $500 per hour spent in connection with
their service on the Strategic Committee, up to a maximum amount payable of $50,000 per member. In addition, members of the Strategic Committee were entitled to reimbursement of all costs incurred by such members in connection with their service on
the Strategic Committee. On June 17, 2010, the Board approved the dissolution

of the Strategic Committee as it has fulfilled its charter with the Sale of Operations. The Board also approved a $10,000 cash award to Mr. Ruisi for his service as Chairman of the Strategic
Committee.

Equity Compensation

Our 2006 Director Plan is a discretionary plan and does not provide for automatic granting of options and other equity awards
to our non-employee directors. Instead, our Board approves equity awards under that plan. Our compensation program practice for non-employee directors provided for an initial award of options to purchase 32,500 shares of our common stock and 16,250
shares of restricted stock upon becoming a member of our Board; the option grant and restricted stock vests 33% on the one-year anniversary of service with us and quarterly thereafter of 8.33% and are fully vested at the end of three years.
Continuing directors received annual awards of options to purchase 12,500 shares of our common stock that vest quarterly over one year and 6,250 shares of restricted stock that fully vest on the earlier of 12 months from the date of grant or the
next annual stockholders meeting.

In May 2009, our Board agreed to change the annual equity award for continuing directors to
grants of options to purchase 12,500 shares of our common stock that vest quarterly over one year (and will vest in full at the next annual stockholder meeting if not already fully vested) and 12,500 shares of restricted stock which fully vest on
the earlier of the next annual stockholders meeting or 12 months after the date of grant. Initially this change was to be effective at the stockholders meeting previously scheduled for November 2009, however due to the cancellation of such meeting,
our Board approved, at a meeting held December 16, 2009, grants of 12,500 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 12,500 shares of our common stock to members of our Board. Our Board approved a modified vesting schedule for these
awards. The restricted stock will vest on the earlier of 12 months after the date of grant or the date the applicable director ceases to be a member of our Board. The stock options will vest on the earlier of the applicable date the director ceases
to be a member of our Board, or in four equal quarterly installments, with the first of such installments occurring on March 16, 2010, such that the options will be fully vested on the earlier of December 16, 2010 or the date the
applicable director ceases to be a member of our Board. In February 2010, our Board also approved and modified the vesting schedule for any previous unvested stock options and shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units such that the
vesting would accelerate on the date the applicable director ceases to be a member of our Board. The initial grant for new directors remains unchanged, and is described above.

Equity awards and vesting schedules are subject to change by the Committee with approval by the Board.

Director Compensation Table

The following table provides information with respect to all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each person who served as a

and in the narrative above, we did not pay any fees, make any equity or non-equity awards, or pay any other compensation to our directors during fiscal 2010.

Item 12.Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder
Matters

STOCK OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table presents certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 26, 2010 by
(a) each beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock known to us, (b) each of our directors, (c) each of our named executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table above and (d) all of
our current directors and executive officers as a group.

The percentage of beneficial ownership for the table is based on
120,311,513 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 26, 2010. To our knowledge, except under community property laws or as otherwise noted, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power over
their shares of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each beneficial owner listed below maintains a mailing address of c/o ADPT Corporation, 691 South Milpitas Boulevard, Milpitas, California 95035.

##### Table of Contents

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under SEC rules
and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power and those shares
of common stock that the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after July 26, 2010, including through the exercise of any equity award. The Percentage of Shares column treats as outstanding all shares underlying equity
awards that are exercisable within 60 days after July 26, 2010 held by the stockholder, but not shares underlying equity awards that are exercisable by other stockholders.

Item 13.Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with Related Persons

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

Any related-person transactions, excluding compensation (whether cash, equity or otherwise), which is delegated to the Committee,
involving one of our directors or executive officers, must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee or another independent body of the Board. Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review
may not participate in the deliberations or vote on the approval or ratification of the transaction. However, such a director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the committee that considers the transaction.
Related persons include any of our directors or executive officers, certain of our stockholders and their immediate family members. To identify any related person transactions, each year, we require our directors and executive officers to complete
questionnaires identifying any transactions with us in which the executive officer or director or their family members has an

interest. In addition, the Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board determines, on an annual basis, which members of our Board meet the definition of independent as defined in
the rules of NASDAQ, and reviews and discusses any relationships with a director that would potentially interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Certain Related Person Transactions

Reimbursement of Expenses for Steel Partners Consent Solicitation

In fiscal 2010, our Audit Committee authorized the reimbursement of $0.7 million related to professional fees incurred by Steel Partners
II, L.P., a beneficial owner of approximately 26.29% of our outstanding common stock on July 26, 2010 in connection with its consent solicitation of our stockholders that occurred during the Fall of 2009.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that could require us to, among other things,
indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.

Other
than as set forth in this section and the compensation arrangements set forth under the caption Executive Compensation, since April 1, 2009 there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction in which we were or
will be a participant and in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any executive officer, director, 5% beneficial owner of our common stock or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a
direct or indirect material interest.

Independent Directors

Each of our current directors, other than Mr. Quicke, qualifies as independent in accordance with the rules of the
NASDAQ. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that a director may not be our employee or interim officer, and that the director has not engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition,
as further required by the NASDAQ rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each director determined to be independent that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of such
directors independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Section 10A(i)(1) of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules require that all auditing and permissible non-audit services
to be performed by a companys principal accountants be approved in advance by the Audit Committee of the Board, subject to a de minimis exception set forth in the SEC rules (the De Minimis Exception). Pursuant to
Section 10A(i)(3) of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules, the Audit Committee has established procedures by which the Chairperson of the Audit Committee may pre-approve such services provided the pre-approval is detailed as to the particular
service or category of services to be rendered and the Chairperson reports the details of the services to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. None of the audit-related or non-audit services described above were
performed pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the periods in which the pre-approval requirement has been in effect. In the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years, the Audit Committee followed SEC guidelines in approving all services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
