FY06 Quarterly SMI Bonus Plan



Director, Principal, Staff, Staff Associate, and Associate/Clerical



Eligible Employees who are in a Plan-eligible position for only part of the quarter will be
eligible for a prorated bonus. Examples include, but are not limited to: being hired after the beginning of the quarter but before the end of the quarter, moving from working fewer than 20 hours per week in the U.S to working 20 hours or more per
week in the U.S in a Plan-eligible position, moving from an IB-eligible position to a Quarterly SMI Bonus-eligible position, etc. Individuals hired or rehired, or promoted from a position not eligible for the Quarterly SMI Bonus Plan into an
eligible position after the eligibility start date specified for each quarter are not eligible for participation in that quarter. Any changes in the number of hours of work scheduled to be worked per week, with an accompanying change in
compensation, will result in a prorated Quarterly SMI Bonus based upon the Plan, reflecting the Participants eligible wages earned at the different schedules for hours of work and accompanying compensation rates. The Company reserves the right
to further prorate Quarterly SMI Bonus amounts based upon any material changes (as defined by the Company) in the Participants position or annual compensation.



Employees must be on Suns payroll through the end of each fiscal quarter of FY06 in order to be eligible for that quarters bonus
payout. However, an otherwise eligible Participant who retires, becomes disabled, takes a Company approved unpaid leave or dies during a quarter within the fiscal year may receive a prorated bonus for that quarter.



An employee on a paid leave of absence during any quarter of the Plan year will be eligible
for a bonus to reflect eligible wages for the entire time the employee was both actively working and designated on a paid leave status. Paid leave will not include earnings from short-term and/or long-term disability except, as required
by law.



Employees who, during a fiscal quarter, transition to an Outsourcing
Service Provider in order to provide services as part of a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), as determined by Global Business Services (GBS) in its sole discretion, and who remain employed by that Outsourcing Service Provider through the end of
the fiscal quarter in which they transitioned are eligible for a pro-rated Quarterly SMI Bonus for that quarter. In order to be eligible, those employees must have been employed by Sun in a plan- eligible position during the quarter in which they
transfer. The pro-ration will be based on the eligible wages earned at, and paid by, Sun whilst in the Plan-eligible position during that quarter. Employees who are hired by the Outsourcing Service Provider to do work which is not part of the BPO
and employees whose jobs are outsourced, but who do not transition to the Outsourcing Service Provider are not eligible for a Quarterly SMI bonus for any quarter during which they fail to meet the eligibility criteria. Exceptions to this policy may
exist outside of the U.S. based upon local laws and regulations. Employees outside of the U.S. should contact their local Human Resources representative upon termination of employment from Sun for details.



Target Bonus Opportunity



Participants are eligible for the following annual target
bonus percentages, based on WW job level and location:

The annual bonus target percentage is adjusted further for each fiscal quarter by a funding
percentage of each quarter (Q1: 10%; Q2: 25%; Q3: 25%; Q4: 40%), which results in quarterly bonus target percentages as follows-

For example, a U.S.-based Participant
who moves from one Plan-eligible position to another Plan-eligible position with a different target bonus percentage will be eligible for a bonus prorated to reflect the Participants eligible wages earned in each of the two positions.



Plan Performance Measures



The Quarterly SMI Bonus Plan considers performance against
the following measures:



| | 1. | Operating Income
| | -- | ----------------



| | 2. | Free Cash Flow
| | -- | --------------



| | 3. | Revenue
| | -- | -------



| | 4. | Individual Performance
| | -- | ----------------------



For FY06 Q1-Q3, Suns quarterly Operating Income is the sole financial measure. For FY06 Q4, the performance measures are Q4 Operating Income, annual Free Cash Flow, and annual Revenue, as well as Individual
Performance.



The SMI Bonus Funding Schedule provides percentages based upon
Suns actual performance against the Companys financial goal(s) for each quarter. Employee payouts under the Plan are capped at 300% of the employees annual bonus target.



|1. | Free Cash Flow: For purposes of calculating the bonus accrual under the Plan, Cash Flow is defined as Cash Flow from Operations calculated on a GAAP basis
less expenditures on Capital and Spares Free Cash Flow, adjusted for cash flow associated with:
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Restructuring Activity
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | Real Estate Transactions
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Stock Based Compensation
| | - |  | ------------------------

In addition, the cash flows related to any significant one-time event in excess of $20
million (positive or negative) may be included or excluded at the discretion of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (LDCC) of the Board of Directors. Significant changes to operations may result in changes to the operating plan at
LDCC discretion.



|2. | Operating Income: For purposes of calculating the bonus accrual under the Plan, Operating Income is defined as GAAP Operating Income adjusted to exclude
the impact of the following:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Restructuring charges
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | In process R & D charges
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Intangible impairment charges
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | Stock Based Compensation
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | FY06 Bonus accrual
| | - |  | ------------------



In addition, any significant one-time event in excess of $20 million (income or expense) may be included or excluded at the discretion of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (LDCC) of the Board of
Directors. Significant changes to operations may result in changes to the operating plan at LDCC discretion.



|3. | Revenue:Revenue is defined as net revenue as reported in Suns consolidated operations analysis.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | Individual Performance: A Participants performance during the year will be used to modify his or her FY06 Q4 actual bonus award ranging from 0%-200% and may
preclude the participant from receiving bonuses. Some participants may not receive a bonus award based on individual performance. At the beginning of the fiscal year, employees and managers should meet to discuss and document expected performance
outcomes for the year using the Sun Performance Management process. Employees and managers should periodically review progress against the performance outcomes and establish specific action plans to achieve the performance priorities. At the end of
the Plan year, the manager will conduct an assessment of how the employee performed in the Sun Performance Management process which will provide guidance regarding the appropriate bonus modification percentage the employee should receive for FY06
Q4.

Bonus Calculation



he Participants quarterly bonus payout will be calculated as follows:



Funding % Per SMI Bonus Funding Schedule

x Quarterly Bonus Target Percentage

x
Individual Performance % (Q4 Only)

x Eligible Wages

= Actual Bonus Payment



| | 1. | SMI Funding Schedule:Sun has established target levels for payout based upon the achievements of SMI Financial Performance of quarterly Operating Income for
FY06 Q1-Q3. The SMI Bonus Funding Schedule provides percentages based upon Suns actual performance against the Companys financial goal(s) for each quarter. For FY06 Q4, the financial measures are quarterly Operating Income, annual Free
Cash Flow, and Annual Revenue with weighting of 50%, 25%, and 25% respectively.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Individual Performance: For FY06 Q4, a Participants final bonus award can be modified from 0% to 200% of target based on annual individual performance. The range
varies based upon guidelines established by the Total Rewards Group. The guidelines are based on achievement of objectives and performance rating. Using the guidelines, the manager determines the appropriate award modification percentage based on
the Participants performance against the Sun Performance Management process during the year. Some Participants may not receive a bonus award based on individual performance.

| | 3. | Eligible Wages:Except as set forth above under Target Bonus Opportunity, identifying certain circumstances where bonuses will be prorated taking into account actual
earnings during each quarter of FY06, for employees with exempt status, eligible wages are generally based on the Participants ending salary of record at the end of each quarter and on the number of days in a specific Plan in the quarter.
Eligible wages are calculated by dividing the number of days the Participant is in the eligible position in the fiscal quarter of the Plan by the number of days in the same quarter and multiplying the resulting percentage by the Participants
final salary at the end of the fiscal quarter, except as otherwise set forth herein. Bonus awards for Participants who move from one target award level to another will be based on separate calculations for each level, using the above formula with
looking at ending salary of each applicable level. For U.S. non-exempt and non-exempt salaried Participants, eligible wages also include overtime pay (e.g. Shift-differential, Standby/Call-out pay) earned during the Plan year.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For those who were on an unpaid leave of
absence during any quarter in the Plan year, eligible wages are calculated and prorated by dividing the number of days the Participant actively worked at Sun in the eligible position in the quarter by the number of days in the same quarter and
multiplying the resulting percentage by the Participants final salary while an active employee receiving compensation. Sun will also calculate eligible wages on a prorated basis under the following circumstances:



-The Participant changes from a Plan-ineligible position to a Plan-eligible
position where eligible wages are calculated by dividing the numbers of days of the quarter the Participant is in the Plan-eligible position and multiplying the resulting percentage by the Participants final salary.



-The Participant changes from a Plan-eligible position to another
Plan-eligible position with a different target bonus percentage where eligible wages are calculated by dividing the number of days the Participant is in the eligible position in the quarter by the number of days of the quarter and multiplying the
resulting percentage by the Participants final salary of each Plan-eligible position.



-Change in scheduled hours for work per week where eligible wages are calculated by dividing the number of day the Participant is in each eligible position of hours-per-week work schedule in the quarter by the number
of days in the same quarter and multiplying the resulting percentage by the Participants final salary of each eligible position of hours- per- week work schedule.



-The Company exercises its discretion due to material change in employee compensation.



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. Eligible wages are calculated at OTE for SMI bonus plan participants who are on
IB plans. For countries outside of the U.S., eligible wage calculation is subject to local regulations and practices.



Bonus Calculation Example:



1. An employee joins Sun on July 15, 2004 with an annual salary of $60,000, and no changes in scheduled work hours, work status, salary, or bonus
target percentage took place during Q1. He is a U.S. Staff level employee with an annual bonus target of 8%. If Sun achieves 100% of its Operating Income goal which results in a 100% funding per SMI Bonus Funding schedule, this employees Q1
Bonus would be calculated as follows-

Note: Methodology
for bonus calculation for FY06Q2 and Q3 Bonus is the same as for FY06 Q1, with potentially differing funding % per SMI Financial Performance.



2. An employee has an annual salary of $90,000 as of June 30th2005, and no changes in scheduled work hours, work status, salary or bonus target percentage took place during FY06 Q4. He is a U.S. Principal level employee with an annual bonus target of 15%. If Sun
achieves 120% of its SMI Financial Goals which results in a 100% funding per SMI Bonus Funding schedule and the employee was assigned 120% individual performance multiplier due to over-achievement, this employees Q4 Bonus would be calculated
as follows-
