EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on July 6, 2009, by and
between Peter F. Comerford, an individual (“Executive”) and Ultralife Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to establish an agreement pursuant to which
Executive will be retained as the Vice President of Administration and General Counsel of the
Company, effective July 6, 2009, and to provide for Executive’s employment by the Company upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1. Employment. Executive will serve as Vice President of Administration and General
Counsel of the Company for the Employment Term specified in Section 2 below. Executive will report
to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Chief Executive Officer”) and the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and Executive will render such services,
consistent with the foregoing role, as the Chief Executive Officer or the Board may from time to
time direct.

2. Term. The employment of Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall continue from
the effective date noted in the Recitals through the end of the calendar year (the “Employment
Term”), unless extended or earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement. The Employment
Term shall automatically be extended for additional one-year periods commencing on January 1 of
each year and continuing each year thereafter, unless either Executive or the Company gives the
other written notice, in accordance with Section 12(a) and at least ninety (90) days prior to the
then scheduled expiration of the Employment Term, of such party’s intention not to extend the
Employment Term.

3. Salary. As compensation for the services rendered by Executive under this
Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive a base salary initially equal to $209,999.92 per year
(“Base Salary”) for calendar year 2009, payable to Executive in accordance with the Company’s
payroll practices. The Base Salary shall be subject to adjustment by the Board but may not be
decreased unless it is part of a strategic measure required by the Company to meet deteriorating
financial or economic conditions.

4. Bonus. In addition to his Base Salary, Executive shall be entitled to participate
in the Company’s executive bonus program. Bonuses shall be paid in accordance with the guidelines
set forth under the bonus program but in all events a bonus shall be paid between January 1 and
December 31 of the year following the year in which the bonus is earned.

 

 

 

5. Executive Benefits.

(a) Employee and Executive Benefits. Executive will be entitled to receive all
benefits provided to senior executives, executives and employees of the Company generally, provided
that in respect to each such plan Executive is otherwise eligible and insurable in accordance with
the terms of such plans.

(b) PTO and Sabbatical. Executive shall be entitled to Paid Time Off, holidays and
sabbatical in accordance with the policies of the Company as they exist.

6. Severance Benefits.

(a) At Will Employment. Executive’s employment shall be “at will.” Either the
Company or Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment at any time, with or
without Business Reasons (as defined in Section 7(a) below), in its or his sole discretion, upon
sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of termination.

(b) Involuntary Termination. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, other
than following a Change in Control to which Section 6(c) applies, the Company terminates the
employment of Executive without Business Reasons or a Constructive Termination occurs, then
Executive shall be entitled to receive the following:

(i) salary and the cash value of any accrued Paid Time Off (consistent with the Company’s Paid
Time Off policies then in effect) through the Termination Date plus continued salary for a period
of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s
regular payroll schedule as in effect from time to time,

(ii) an amount equal to the average of the bonuses paid to Executive during the two preceding
fiscal years or, if no bonuses were paid during such period, an amount equal to Executive’s then
current annual target bonus, to be paid between January 1 and December 31 of the year following the
year in which the termination occurs,

(iii) acceleration of vesting of all outstanding stock options and other equity arrangements
(including but not limited to restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and such instruments)
subject to vesting and held by Executive subject to the provision, however, that the acceleration
shall not cover more than two (2) years from the Termination Date (and in this regard, all such
options and other exercisable rights held by Executive shall remain exercisable for one year
following the Termination Date, or through the original expiration date of the stock options or
other exercisable rights, if earlier),

(iv) to the extent COBRA shall be applicable to the Company, continuation of health benefits
for Executive, Executive’s spouse and any dependent children, at Executive’s cost, for a period of
18 months after the Termination Date or such longer period as may be applicable under the Company’s
policies then in effect, provided the Executive makes the appropriate election and payments, and

 

2

 

(v) no other compensation, severance or other benefits, except only that this provision shall
not limit any benefits otherwise available to Executive under Section 6(c) in the case of a
termination following a Change in Control.

(c) Change in Control. If at any time during the term of this Agreement a “Change
in Control” occurs (as defined below), and the Company terminates the employment of Executive
without Business Reasons or a Constructive Termination occurs within eighteen (18) months of the
date of the Change in Control, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following:

(i) salary and the cash value of any accrued Paid Time Off (consistent with the Company’s Paid
Time Off policies then in effect) through the Termination Date plus an amount equal to eighteen
(18) months of Executive’s salary as then in effect, payable immediately upon the Termination Date,

(ii) an amount equal to the greater of the average of the bonuses paid to Executive during the
two preceding fiscal years or Executive’s then current annual target bonus, to be paid between
January 1 and December 31 of the year following the year in which the termination occurs,

(iii) acceleration in full of vesting of all outstanding stock options and other equity
arrangements (including but not limited to restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and such
instruments) subject to vesting and held by Executive (and in this regard, all such options and
other exercisable rights held by Executive shall remain exercisable for one year following the
Termination Date, or through the original expiration date of the stock options or other exercisable
rights, if earlier),

(iv) to the extent COBRA shall be applicable to the Company, continuation of health benefits
for Executive, Executive’s spouse and any dependent children, at Executive’s cost, for a period of
eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date, and

(v) no other compensation, severance or other benefits.

Payment of benefits shall be accelerated and the severance payments under Section 6(c)(i) shall be
made in a lump sum upon a Change in Control only if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in
control” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
the Treasury Regulations and official guidance issued thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”). If
such acceleration and payment is not permissible, no acceleration will occur and the severance
payments shall be made in accordance with Section 6(b)(i). 

 

3

 

(vi) Limitation on Parachute Payments. The Executive’s severance payments and other
benefits to be received in connection with a Change in Control under this Agreement or otherwise
(commonly referred to collectively as “parachute payments”) are capped at no more than three times
his average annual compensation for the previous five years to the extent necessary for him not to
incur excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
and for the Company not to have its deduction limited under Section 280G of the Code. In the event
that the parachute payments to be received by the
Executive need to be reduced to comply with the foregoing limitation, the Company shall
determine which parachute payments shall be reduced and the extent of each reduction, each in a
manner that will not cause a violation of Section 409A. If it is subsequently determined that the
parachute payments actually received by the Executive exceed the foregoing limitation, then the
Executive shall have an obligation to pay the Company upon demand an amount equal to the excess.

(d) Termination for Disability. If at any time during the term of this Agreement,
other than following a Change in Control to which Section 6(c) applies, Executive shall become
unable to perform his duties as an employee as a result of incapacity, which gives rise to
termination of employment for Disability, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the
following:

(i) salary and the cash value of any accrued Paid Time Off (consistent with the Company’s Paid
Time Off policies then in effect) through the Termination Date plus continued salary for a period
of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s
regular payroll schedule as in effect from time to time,

(ii) an amount equal to the annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination
Date occurs (plus any unpaid bonus from the prior fiscal year), to be paid between January 1 and
December 31 of the year following the year in which the termination occurs,

(iii) acceleration in full of vesting of all outstanding stock options held by Executive
subject to the provision, however, that the acceleration shall not cover more than two (2) years
from the Termination Date (and in this regard, all such options and other exercisable rights held
by Executive shall remain exercisable for one year following the Termination Date, or through the
original expiration date of the stock options or other exercisable rights, if earlier),

(iv) to the extent COBRA shall be applicable to the Company, continuation of health benefits
for Executive, Executive’s spouse and any dependent children, at Executive’s cost, for a period of
18 months after the Termination Date, or such longer period as may be applicable under the
Company’s policies then in effect, provided Executive makes the appropriate election and payments,
and

(v) no other compensation, severance or other benefits, except only that this provision shall
not limit any benefits otherwise available to Executive under Section 6(c) in the case of a
termination following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company may
deduct from the salary specified in clause (i) hereof the amount of any payments then received by
Executive under any disability benefit program maintained by the Company to the extent permissible
under Section 409A.

 

4

 

(e) Voluntary Termination or Involuntary Termination for Business Reasons. If (A)
Executive voluntarily terminates his employment (other than in the case of a Constructive
Termination), or (B) Executive is terminated involuntarily for Business Reasons, then in any such
event Executive or his representatives shall be entitled to receive the following: (i) salary
and the cash value of any accrued Paid Time Off (consistent with the Company’s Paid Time Off
policies then in effect) through the Termination Date only, (ii) the right to exercise, for ninety
(90) days following the Termination Date, or through the original expiration date of the stock
options, if earlier, all stock options held by Executive, but only to the extent vested as of the
Termination Date, (iii) to the extent COBRA shall be applicable to the Company, continuation of
health benefits for Executive, Executive’s spouse and any dependent children, at Executive’s cost,
for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date, or such longer period as may be
applicable under the Company’s policies then in effect, provided Executive makes the appropriate
election and payments, and (iv) no other compensation, severance, or other benefits.

(f) Termination Upon Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated because of death,
then Executive’s representatives shall be entitled to receive the following:

(i) salary and the cash value of any accrued Paid Time Off (consistent with the Company’s Paid
Time Off policies then in effect) through the Termination Date,

(ii) an amount equal to the annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination
Date occurs (plus any unpaid bonus from the prior fiscal year), to be paid between January 1 and
December 31 of the year following the year in which the termination occurs,

(iii) except in the case of any such termination following a Change in Control to which
Section 6(c) applies, acceleration in full of vesting of all outstanding stock options and other
equity arrangements (including but not limited to restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and
such instruments) subject to vesting and held by Executive subject to the provision, however, that
the acceleration shall not cover more than two (2) years from the Termination Date (and in this
regard, all such options and other exercisable rights held by Executive shall remain exercisable
for one year following the Termination Date, or through the original expiration date of the stock
options or other exercisable rights, if earlier),

(iv) to the extent COBRA shall be applicable to the Company, continuation of health benefits
for Executive’s spouse and any dependent children, at their cost, for a period of eighteen (18)
months after the Termination Date, or such longer period as may be applicable under the Company’s
policies then in effect provided Executive’s estate makes the appropriate election and payments,

(v) any benefits payable to Executive or his representatives upon death under insurance or
other programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of the Executive, and

(vi) no further benefits or other compensation, except only that this provision shall not
limit any benefits otherwise available to Executive under Section 6(c) in the case of a termination
following a Change in Control.

 

5

 

(g) Exclusivity. The provisions of this Section 6 are intended to be and are
exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may
otherwise be entitled, either at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement, in the
event of any termination of Executive’s employment. Executive shall be entitled to no benefits,
compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those
benefits expressly set forth in paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 6, whichever
shall be applicable and those benefits required to be provided by law.

(h) Termination. The word “termination” and any variant thereof with respect to the
Executive’s employment shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning provided by
Section 409A. Payments provided for under this Section 6 are contingent upon a termination
satisfying this definition.

7. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have
the following meanings:

(a) Business Reasons. “Business Reasons” means (i) gross negligence, willful
misconduct or other willful malfeasance by Executive in the performance of his duties, (ii)
Executive’s conviction of a felony, or an other criminal offense involving moral turpitude, (iii)
Executive’s material breach of this Agreement, including without limitation any repeated breach of
Section 8 hereof or of any provision of any confidentiality, non-disclosure or non-competition
agreements between the Company and Executive, provided that, in the case of any such breach, the
Board provides written notice of breach to the Executive, specifically identifying the manner in
which the Board believes that Executive has materially breached this Agreement, and Executive shall
have the opportunity to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within thirty
(30) days following the delivery of such notice. For purpose of this paragraph, no act or failure
to act by Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Executive in
bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best
interests of the Company or its affiliates. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given
pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good
faith and in the best interests of the Company. The Board must notify Executive of any event
constituting Business Reasons within ninety (90) days following the Board’s actual knowledge of its
existence (which period shall be extended during the period of any reasonable investigation
conducted in good faith by or on behalf of the Board) or such event shall not constitute Business
Reasons under this Agreement.

(b) Disability. “Disability” shall mean that Executive has been unable to
perform his duties as an employee as the result of his incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, and such inability, at least twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined
to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to
Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be
unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least
sixty (60) days written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment.
In the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder
before the termination of his employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall
automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

 

6

 

(c) Termination Date. “Termination Date” shall mean (i) if this Agreement is
terminated on account of death, the date of death; (ii) if this Agreement is terminated for
Disability, the date specified in Section 7(b); (iii) if this Agreement is terminated by the
Company, the date which is indicated in a notice of termination is given to Executive by the
Company in accordance with Sections 6(a) and 9; (iv) if the Agreement is terminated by Executive,
the date which is indicated in a notice of termination given to the Company by Executive in
accordance with Sections 6(a) and 9(a); or (v) if this Agreement expires by its terms, then the
last day of the term of this Agreement.

(d) Constructive Termination. A “Constructive Termination” shall be deemed to
occur if (A) (1) Executive’s position changes as a result of an action by the Company such that (w)
Executive shall no longer be Vice President of Administration and General Counsel of the Company,
(x) Executive shall have duties and responsibilities demonstrably less than those typically
associated with a Vice President of Administration and General Counsel or (y) Executive shall no
longer report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or the Board or (2) Executive is
required to relocate his place of employment, other than a relocation within fifty (50) miles of
Executive’s current residence or the Company’s current Newark, New York headquarters, (3) there is
a reduction in Executive’s base salary or target bonus other than any such reduction consistent
with a general reduction of pay across the executive staff as a group, as an economic or strategic
measure due to poor financial performance by the Company or (4) there occurs any other material
breach of this Agreement by the Company (other than a reduction of Executive’s base salary or
target bonus which is not described in the immediately preceding clause) (3) after a written demand
for substantial performance is delivered to the Board by Executive which specifically identifies
the manner in which Executive believes that the Company has materially breached this Agreement, and
the Company has failed to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive within
thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice and (B) within the ninety (90) day period
immediately following an action described in clauses (A)(1) through (4), Executive elects to
terminate his employment voluntarily.

(e) Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred
if:

(i) any “Person,” as such term is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than (i) the
Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
the Company, or (iii) any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company
in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), becomes the
“Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of
the Company’s then-outstanding securities;

(ii) the stockholders of the Company approve any transaction or series of transactions under
which the Company is merged or consolidated with any other company, other than a merger or
consolidation (A) which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 66 2/3% of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation and (B) after which no Person
holds 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the
Company or such surviving entity;

 

7

 

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or
an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets;

(iv) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a
Change in Control has occurred; or

(v) a majority of the Board is replaced in a 12-month period by directors whose appointment or
election was not endorsed by a majority of the Board before their appointment or election.

8. No Conflicts.

(a) Executive agrees that in his individual capacity he will not enter into any agreement,
arrangement or understanding, whether written or oral, with any supplier, contractor, distributor,
wholesaler, sales representative, representative group or customer, relating to the business of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, without the express written consent of the Company.

(b) As long as Executive is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Executive
agrees that he will not, except with the express written consent of the Company, become engaged in,
render services for, or permit his name to be used in connection with, any for-profit business
other than the business of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any corporation or partnership
in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries have an equity interest.

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Notice. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall
be in writing, shall be effective when given, and in any event shall be deemed to have been duly
given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered, (ii) three (3) business days after deposit in
the U.S. mail, if mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii)
one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight
courier, if so delivered, freight prepaid. In the case of Executive, notices shall be addressed to
him at the home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case
of the Company, notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be
directed to the attention of its Corporate Secretary.

(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company or Executive shall be
communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with

8

 

(c) Successors.

(i) Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect
and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall be entitled to assume the rights
and shall be obligated to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and shall
agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession.
For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the
Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in
this subsection (i) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law.

(ii) Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

(iii) No Other Assignment of Benefits. Except as provided in this Section 9(c), the
rights of any person to payments or benefits under this Agreement shall not be made subject to
option or assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law,
including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and
any action in violation of this subsection (iii) shall be void.

(d) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged
unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by
an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any
breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party
shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or
provision at another time.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede any and all prior agreements,
representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(f) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof,
which shall remain in full force and effect.

(g) Arbitration and Governing Law. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Rochester, New York,
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may
be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. No party shall be entitled
to seek or be awarded punitive damages. All attorneys fees and costs shall be allocated or
apportioned as agreed by the parties or, in the absence of an agreement, in such manner as the
arbitrator or court shall determine to be appropriate to reflect the final decision of the deciding
body as compared to the initial positions in arbitration of each party. This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York as they apply to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within such State by
residents thereof.

 

9

 

(h) Employment Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable taxes.

(i) Indemnification. In the event Executive is made, or threatened to be made, a
party to any legal action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that
Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company or serves or served any other entity of
which the Company owns 50% or more of the equity in any capacity, Executive shall be indemnified by
the Company, and the Company shall pay Executive’s related expenses when and as incurred, all to
the full extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive’s existing indemnification agreement with
the Company, if any, in the form made available to all Executive and all other officers and
directors or, if it provides greater protection to Executive, to the maximum extent allowed under
the law of the State of the Company’s incorporation.

(j) Legal Fees. The Company will pay directly the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel retained by Executive in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this
Agreement.

(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(l) Six Month Waiting Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that
any payments under this Agreement are subject to a six-month waiting period under Section 409A, any
such payments that would be payable before the expiration of six months following the Executive’s
separation from service but for the operation of this sentence shall be made during the seventh
month following the Executive’s separation from service.

(m) Reimbursement of Expenses. Reimbursements under this Agreement shall only be made for
expenses incurred during the term of this Agreement. Any reimbursements made under this Agreement
shall be made by the end of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, and the
amount of the reimbursable expenses or in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not increase or
decrease the amount of reimbursable expenses or in-kind benefits provided in a subsequent year. In
order to receive reimbursements under this Agreement, the Executive shall provide any required
supporting documentation by a date reasonably specified by the Company in accordance with the
deadlines set forth in this section.
