Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), hereby amends the Plan, as follows, effective from November 9, 2007: 
 The third paragraph of

 “ Upon making a separation-from-service election, a Participant may elect to have
amounts distributable pursuant to such election paid either in a lump sum or in installments over a period of five, ten or fifteen years (a “form-of-payment election”). If a Participant chooses a lump sum form of payment, such lump sum
shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 60 days following such separation from service, subject to any election change pursuant to Section 5(b). If a Consultant or an Eligible Employee chooses an installment form of
payment, installment payments shall be paid monthly and shall commence as of the first day of the calendar year following the date such Participant separates from service, subject to any election change pursuant to Section 5(b). If a Director
chooses an installment form of payment, installment payments shall be paid quarterly and shall commence as of the last day of the quarter in which the Director separates from service. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election under this
Section 5(a) to receive installment payments, if the present value of the amount to be paid in installments is less than $50,000 at the time of the Participant’s separation from service, all amounts distributable to such Participant under
(ii) above shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 60 days following such separation.”

 Exhibit 10.1

 OF 
 ADEPT TECHNOLOGY, INC. 
 AS AMENDED

 The purpose of this discretionary Executive and Senior Management Payment Plan (the “Plan”) is to motivate and reward certain eligible executives and senior managers of Adept Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) in order to improve the Company’s profitability and revenues of the Company. The Company’s goal is to grow its revenues while maintaining control over operational spending and improving gross margin which will generate
a positive cash flow and operating profit (as adjusted). This profitability will allow the Company to sustain company investments in both product development and sales and marketing infrastructure and finance organization for operating as a public
company, while supporting a positive improvement in market capitalization and share value. 
 The Plan is also designed, in part, to increase
the stock holdings of the Company’s executive officers and senior managers in order to further align their interests with those of the stockholders of the Company. 
 SECTION 2. COVERED INDIVIDUALS 
 The persons serving as the Company’s (a) Chief Executive
Officer, (b) President and Chief Operating Officer, (c) Chief Financial Officer, (d) Vice President, Business Development, (e) Chief Technical Officer, (f) Vice President, Worldwide Sales, and (g) any individual
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to an executive officer or management position of the Company (each a “Covered Individual”) will be eligible, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the
Board (the “Committee”), to receive bonus payments hereunder. 
 SECTION 3. THE COMMITTEE 
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the Plan, and
the decisions of the Committee shall in every case be final and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan. 
 (b) Without
limiting the foregoing, and subject to the express provisions and limitations set forth in the Plan, the Committee will be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan, including,
without limitation, the following: 
  

	 	(i)	to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; 

	 	(ii)	to determine which Covered Individuals are eligible to be paid bonuses under the Plan and to which of such individuals, if any, bonus payments hereunder are actually paid;

  

	 	(iii)	to verify the Company’s satisfaction of performance goals or other conditions applicable to the payment of bonuses under the Plan; 

  

	 	(iv)	to determine whether, and the extent to which, any bonus adjustment may be required pursuant to Section 4(d); 

  

	 	(v)	to interpret and construe the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan, and the terms and conditions of any bonus opportunities provided hereunder, and to make exceptions to
any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and 

  

	 	(vi)	to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 

 (c) All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding the Plan will be final and binding on all Covered Individuals who are
participants under the Plan. The Committee will consider such factors as it deems relevant to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any director, officer or employee
of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. A Covered Individual or other person claiming any benefits under the Plan may contest a decision or action by the Committee with respect to such person or an actual or
potential bonus under the Plan only on the grounds that such decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action will be limited to determining whether the Committee’s decision or action was
arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful. 
 SECTION 4. BONUS AWARDS 
 (a) Bonus Formula. Bonuses paid under the Plan to any Covered Individual selected to participate in the Plan for any Performance Period (as defined below), with the exception of the Vice President, Worldwide
Sales, will be based on the audited consolidated adjusted operating income and revenues of the Company for the Performance Period. For purposes of the Plan, the term “Performance Period” means the twelve consecutive month period which
coincides with the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, or such other period as the Committee may determine. 
 (b) Bonus Formula for Vice
President, Worldwide Sales. Bonuses paid under the Plan to the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, will be based solely on the audited consolidated revenues of the Company for each of the four fiscal quarters of the Company during the Performance
Period. 
 (c) Review of Audited Financial Statements and Approval by the Committee. As soon as reasonably practicable following the
conclusion of the Performance Period and prior to the payment of any bonus under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a), the Committee will review the 

  

 2 

 
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company in order to determine whether bonus payments should be awarded pursuant to Section 5(a) to each
Covered Individual selected to participate in the Plan. Prior to the payment of any bonus under the Plan, including a quarterly bonus pursuant to Section 5(b), the Committee will approve, in writing, the proposed bonus payment to be awarded to
each Covered Individual selected to participate in the Plan for the Performance Period. No bonus payment will be paid unless and until the Committee approves such bonus in writing. 
 (d) Committee Discretion to Reduce or Adjust Bonus Payment. In fulfilling its duties under Section 4(c), the Committee shall review
Schedule A hereto, which sets forth the number of shares of Restricted Stock that each Covered Individual, other than the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, may receive as a bonus for the Performance Period and shall consider the bonus
provisions set forth in Section 5(b) related to the Vice President, Worldwide Sales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee retains sole and absolute discretion to reduce or otherwise adjust the amount of or eliminate or change the form
of payment of any bonus otherwise payable to a Covered Individual under the Plan and the Committee may, but shall not be required to, consult the Chief Executive Officer regarding any adjustment in the bonus payable under this Plan. In determining
the amount of any reduced bonus or change in form of payment, the Committee reserves the right to apply subjective, discretionary criteria to determine a revised bonus amount. The reduction of the amount of any bonus payable to a Covered Individual
with respect to a Performance Period shall not permit an increase in the amount of the bonus payable to any other Covered Individual for such Performance Period. 
 SECTION 5. PAYMENT OF BONUS 
 (a) Payments in Restricted Stock. Bonuses awarded to Executive Officers and, for
non-revenue project-specific targets, to the other Covered Individuals, under the Plan, other than the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, shall be in the form of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) pursuant to the Company’s 2005
Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2005 Stock Plan”). Schedule A hereto sets forth the number of shares of Restricted Stock that each Covered Individual, other than the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, may receive as a bonus
for the Performance Period. Additionally Covered Individualsare eligible to receive certain cash bonus payments in amounts ranging from 16% to 24% to 32% of base salary for the Performance Period if additional revenues and adjusted operating income
are earned that exceed the maximum targets amounts for which shares of Restricted Stock may be granted to Executive Officers. On the Payment Date (as defined below), the Covered Individuals subject to this Section 5(a) shall receive grants of
Restricted Stock (and/or cash, as applicable) in an amount equal to that approved by the Committee in accordance with Section 4(c) and such Restricted Stock shall vest as to 1/24th on each monthly anniversary of the Payment Date. 
 (b) Payments in Cash to the Vice President, Worldwide Sales. Any bonus payable to the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, shall be in the form of
cash. The Vice President, Worldwide Sales shall be entitled to a cash bonus on a quarterly basis in accordance with Schedule B hereto which provides for a sliding scale commission payable based on the Company’s audited consolidated
revenues. 
  

 3 

 (c) Payment Date. The Company intends to make any bonus payable under Section 5(a) of this
Plan on or around September 30, 2008, or any administratively reasonable period of time thereafter. In no event shall such bonus payment, if any, be delayed beyond December 31, 2008. The Company intends to make any quarterly bonuses
payable under Section 5(b) of this Plan within 180 days of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, or any administratively reasonable period of time thereafter. Each such payment shall be a “Payment Date” under the Plan. 

(d) Continuous Employment. The payment of a bonus under Section 5(a) of this Plan requires that the Covered Individual be an employee of
the Company or its subsidiaries as of the last day of the Performance Period. The payment of a bonus under Section 5(b) of this Plan requires that the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, be an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries as of the
last day of the applicable fiscal quarter in the Performance Period. The Committee may make exceptions to these requirements in the case of retirement, death or disability, as determined by the Committee. 
 SECTION 6. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 The Committee
may terminate the Plan at any time, for any and no reason, and may also amend the Plan, including in order to reduce the amount of any Covered Individual’s bonus payments at any time, for any or no reason. 
 SECTION 7. TAX WITHHOLDING 
 The Company will have the
right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a participant, net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld. The Company will have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts
otherwise payable to such participant such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the participant to pay such withholding taxes. If the participant will fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company will,
to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. 
 SECTION 8. EFFECTIVE DATE 
 This Plan was adopted by
the Board on October 4, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) and amended on January 22, 2008. No bonuses will be paid under the Plan prior to the Effective Date. 
 SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY 
 If any provision of the Plan will be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited will remain in
full force and effect, and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which will remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit provided for under the Plan will
be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, 

  

 4 

 
invalidity or unenforceability will not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in
full or the provision of any other benefit provided for under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not prevent such payment or benefit from being made
or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable will be made or provided under the Plan. 
 SECTION 10. NON-ASSIGNABILITY 
 Unless the Committee
expressly states otherwise, no participant in the Plan may sell, assign, convey, gift, pledge or otherwise hypothecate or alienate any bonus opportunity or amounts determined by the Committee to be payable under the Plan, until such amounts (if any)
are actually paid. 
 SECTION 11. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN 
 The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other bonus arrangements as either may deem desirable, including,
without limitation, cash or equity-based compensation arrangements, either tied to performance or otherwise, and any such other arrangements as may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
 SECTION 12. EMPLOYMENT AT WILL 
 Neither the Plan,
selection of a person as a Covered Individual eligible to be paid bonuses under the Plan nor the payment of any bonus to any participant under the Plan nor any action by the Company or the Committee will be held or construed to confer upon any
person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company expressly reserves the right to discharge any participant whenever in the sole discretion of the Company its interest may so require. 
 SECTION 13. NO VESTED INTEREST OR RIGHT 
 At no time
before the actual payout of a bonus to any participant under the Plan will any participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the Plan, and the Company has no obligation to treat participants identically under the Plan. 

SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW 
 The Plan and any
agreements and documents hereunder will be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) and applicable federal law. The Committee may provide that any dispute
concerning the Plan will be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration. 
  

 5 

 SECTION 15. SECTION 409A 
 To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any bonus granted hereunder comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and any related regulations or other
guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (“Section 409A”). Any provision that would cause the Plan or any bonus granted hereunder to fail to satisfy
Section 409A shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with Section 409A, which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A.
