&#147;Committee&#148;) of Ultralife Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) awarded discretionary cash bonuses in the
aggregate amount of $127,000 to the Company&#146;s executive officers, including its named executive
officers, other than its Chief Executive Officer. The Company&#146;s named executive officers are those
executive officers for whom disclosure is required in the Company&#146;s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 402(c) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K. The Committee recommended a cash
bonus for the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and submitted that recommendation to the Company&#146;s
Board of Directors for approval. On March&nbsp;6, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the recommended
cash bonus for the Chief Executive Officer. The cash bonuses for executive officers, including the
Chief Executive Officer, totaled $180,750. The discretionary cash bonuses awarded to the
Company&#146;s named executive officers are as set forth below.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company did not make any cash awards to any of its executive officers under the Company&#146;s
short-term cash incentive plan because the 2008 operating performance target was not satisfied. The
failure to meet the 2008 operating performance target was due, at least in part, to relatively
significant unplanned increases in commodity and freight costs and unanticipated costs associated
with the integration of the Company&#146;s recent acquisitions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company chose to pay the Company&#146;s executive officers a discretionary cash bonus because
of the Committee&#146;s evaluation of their individual performance coupled with the Company&#146;s strong
financial performance for the year. The Company&#146;s revenues and operating income for 2008 were
$254,700,000 and $17,305,000, respectively, in each case a record amount that surpassed the
previous five-year high by 85% and 240%, respectively. In addition, the amounts awarded to each
executive represented approximately 25% of each officer&#146;s target bonus under the short-term cash
incentive plan with the exception of James E. Evans who, because his plan was based on a sales
generation commission, was not eligible to participate in the Company&#146;s short-term cash incentive
plan.
