Default Bad Alternator

Multiple warning lights came on, on my way to work this morning (brake, battery, vsa, abs, check engine). Right before the car died, the power steering light came on, then I lost the power steering. After boosting the battery, the meter read 10.7. I assume the alternator is bad, but why did all these warning lights come on? Is it due to low voltage to the computer?

Any assistance/advice is appreciated!

I'd start with getting that battery checked at a parts store. If it checks out, get them to charge. How old is the battery?
