Chief Executive Officer Bonus Terms for FY08 Under the Section 162(m)
Executive Officer Performance–Based Bonus Plan
Plan Objective
Sun’s Chief Executive Officer Bonus Terms for FY08 under its Section 162(m) Executive Officer Performance-Based Plan (the “Plan”) are designed to compensate the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) for contributions to Sun during the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Plan provides for quarterly cash compensation based on performance against the Plan measures.
Plan Year/Performance Periods
The Plan year is the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The performance periods are each of the Company’s four fiscal quarters during that fiscal year.
Eligibility
These terms apply to the person serving as Sun’s CEO as of July 1, 2007. In order to receive a bonus payment with respect to any fiscal quarter, the participant must be serving as Sun’s CEO as of the last business day of that fiscal quarter, except as provided below.
A participants who retires, becomes disabled, or dies during any fiscal quarter may receive a prorated bonus for the period of time during the fiscal quarter that the participant provided services to Sun. A participant who leaves Sun prior to the end of a fiscal quarter for any other reason, including but not limited to a reduction in force, voluntary resignation, or termination by Sun will be ineligible for a bonus payment with respect to that fiscal quarter and any subsequent fiscal quarter during the Company’s fiscal year 2008.
Bonus Target Percentage
A Participant’s bonus target percentage under the Plan is 200% of the participant’s Eligible Wages for fiscal year 2008, as determined below (the “Bonus Target”). The Bonus Target is divided between the four fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2008 as follows (each, a “Quarterly Bonus Target”):
| Fiscal Quarter | Percentage | Quarterly Bonus Target | ||
| FY 08 Q1 | 10% | 20% | ||
| FY 08 Q2 | 25% | 50% | ||
| FY 08 Q3 | 25% | 50% | ||
| FY 08 Q4 | 40% | 80% |
For example, for FY08 Q1, the Quarterly Bonus Target would be 200% multiplied by 10%, or 20% of Eligible Wages for that quarter.
Payouts under the Plan are capped at 200% of the Bonus Target for fiscal year 2008. (Plan funding is capped at 200% of the target funding amount.)

Company Performance Measures
The Plan is based on Company performance against the following measures (the “Company Performance Measures”):
| 1. | Q1 FY08-quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%) and quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%); |
| 2. | Q2 FY08-quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%) and quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%); |

Additional funding may be allocated to the Q4 bonus payments if:
| 1. | Q4 financial performance on Revenue and Operating Income are at target, and, |
| 2. | Company Annual Strategic Goals are met. |

| • | Restructuring charges |
| • | In process R & D charges |
| • | Intangible impairment charges |

Measures for each quarter. The Bonus Plan Funding Percentage is determined for each fiscal quarter as follows:
| 1. | Q1-Q4 FY08: By funding based on actual performance against goals with respect to quarterly Revenue and quarterly Operating Income, each weighted equally; |
| 2. | By evaluating each performance measure independently to determine the funding percentage for that measure; |
| 3. | Additionally, with respect to Q4 FY08, there may be an additional bonus funding up to $20 million based on the Company Annual Strategic Goals, provided the Q4 Revenue and Q4 Operating Income goals are met. However, the total bonus funding is capped at 200% of at-target bonus funding. |
Eligible Wages
Eligible Wages with respect to any fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2008 (“Eligible Wages”) shall be determined based upon the participant’s annual base salary on the last day of such fiscal quarter (September 30, 2007 for FY08 Q1, December 31, 2007, for FY08 Q2, March 31, 2008 for FY08 Q3, and June 30, 2008 for FY08 Q4).
For example, for FY 08 Q2, assuming the participant’s annual base salary on December 31, 2007 was $1,000,000, the participant’s Eligible Wages would be $1,000,000.
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 each quarter of FY08.
Bonus Calculation
Q1 - Q3 FY 08
The Participant’s quarterly bonus payment for Q1- Q3 FY08 will be calculated as follows:
| Quarterly | Bonus Target Percentage |
x Bonus Plan Funding Percentage
x Eligible Wages
= Actual Quarterly Bonus Payment
Example: In Q2, FY08, if the Company achieves 100% of Revenue goal and 100% of Operating Income goal, the actual quarterly bonus payment will be calculated as follows:
| Quarterly Bonus Target Percentage | 50 | % | ||||
| Bonus Plan Funding Percentage | X | 100 | % | |||
| Eligible Wages | X | $ | 1,000,000 | |||
| Actual Quarterly Bonus Payment for Q2 FY08 | $ | 500,000 |

Q4 FY08
The Participant’s quarterly bonus payment for Q4 FY08 will be calculated as follows:
| Quarterly | Bonus Target Percentage |

Example: In Q4 FY08, if the Company achieves 100% of its quarterly Operating Income goal and 100% of its Revenue goal, and 100% of the Annual Strategic Goals, actual quarterly bonus payment will be calculated as follows:
Step One – Determine Bonus Plan Funding Percentage:
| Company Actual Performance for Q4 FY08 | Percentage from Schedule | Relative Weighting | ||||
| Quarterly Revenue – 100% | 100 | % | 50 | % | ||
| Quarterly Operating Income – 100% | 100 | % | 50 | % | ||
| Annual Strategic Goals | 100 | % | 6 | % | ||
| Bonus Plan Funding Percentage | 106 | % |
Step Two – Determine actual quarterly bonus payment:
| Quarterly Bonus Target Percentage | 70 | % | ||||
| Bonus Plan Funding Percentage | X | 106 | % | |||
| Eligible Wages | X | $ | 1,000,000 | |||
| Actual Quarterly Bonus Payment for Q4 FY08 | $ | 742,0000 |
