(Amended and Restated Effective May 18, 2004)
Plan Objective
Suns Chief Executive Officer Bonus Terms for FY04 under the Section 162(m) Performance-Based Executive Bonus Plan (the Plan) are designed to reinforce desired management behaviors such as leadership, teamwork, customer focus, planning and people management and to reward the CEO for contributions to Sun during the fiscal year. The Plan provides for a cash award based on a percentage of a participants eligible compensation subject to performance against the Plan measures. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may also reduce the CEOs maximum bonus award calculated in accordance with the Committees approved performance criteria, in its sole discretion.
Plan Year
The Plan year coincides with Suns fiscal year, from July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004.

These terms are for the CEO as of July 1, 2003. In order to receive a bonus, recipient must be employed by Sun in the CEO position through June 30, 2004.

Position | Target Bonus % | ||
CEO | 2500 | % |
The bonus may be adjusted from the target amount by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
Plan Performance Measures (Amended)
The Plan is based on performance against Sun financial performance, Profit Before Tax (PBT).
Actual performance against the measure at the end of the Plan year can increase or decrease the final bonus funding and payout. A performance threshold must be met for PBT to fund the Plan.
For FY04, the maximum bonus funding is capped at 25% of target.
Profit Before Tax (PBT): PBT, the financial measure that drives funding of the Plan, is defined as:
FY04 Profit before taxes as published in Suns Year end Quarterly Earnings Release adjusted for the following:

Bonus Calculation
The CEO Bonus is calculated as follows:
Profit Before Tax (PBT) Performance (as a % of target)
= Actual Bonus Award %
x Eligible Wages
= Actual Bonus Payment
Eligible Wages: Eligible wages are based on the Participants ending base salary as of June 30, 2004, based on the number of days in a specific Plan year. Eligible wages are calculated by dividing the number of days the participant is in the eligible position by the number of days in the Plan year and multiplying the resulting percentage by the participants final salary.
For those who were on an unpaid leave during the Plan year, eligible wages are calculated by dividing the number of days the participant actively worked at Sun in the eligible position by the number of days in the Plan year and multiplying the resulting percentage by the participants final salary.
Eligible wages exclude relocation allowances, expense reimbursements, tuition reimbursement, car/ transportation allowances, expatriate allowances, long-term disability payments, or other commissions and bonuses paid during the Plan year.

Bonus Payment (Amended)
If Sun performance warrants a bonus award for FY04 (as determined by the Plan), payment will be deferred.
Payment of the deferred amount will be contingent upon achieving three consecutive quarters of operating profitability and year-over-year revenue growth (as reported in Suns public filings) on or by the end of fiscal 2007. If the performance requirements are not achieved on or by the end of fiscal 2007 (or upon leaving the company), the deferred amount will be forfeited.
