|                      | 
|Leaves of Absence     |  | For purposes of this Award Agreement, your Service will not be treated as terminated when you go on an employee leave of absence that is approved by
Sun in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminated 90 days after the first day of your employee
leave, unless your right to return to Service is guaranteed by law or by contract. For purposes of this Option, your Service will be treated as terminated when your approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to Service.  Sun shall determine, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when your
Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.                                                                                                                   
|                      | 
|Withholding Taxes     |  | Regardless of any action Sun or your employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment
on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to this Award Agreement (Tax-Related Items), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is your responsibility and that Sun and/or the
Employer:          are not making any representations and are not committing to take any actions regarding any Tax-Related Items, including, but not limited to, the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the
RSUs, the delivery of shares of Stock upon vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs, and the receipt of any dividends; and          do not
commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

|                |  | Before any Tax-Related Items become due, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Sun and/or the Employer to satisfy those
Tax-Related Items. If permissible under local law, you authorize Sun and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one or a combination of the following:          withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Sun and/or the Employer;          withholding proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting
of the RSUs;          arranging for the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs; and/or          withholding shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to you, provided that Sun
only withholds the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount or such other amount as determined by Sun not to result in negative accounting consequences, rounding up to the nearest whole share of Stock.
 If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Stock as
described herein, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock to which you are entitled pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs even though a portion of those shares of Stock will be withheld for the purpose of satisfying
the Tax-Related Items.  Finally, you will pay to Sun or the Employer any amount of
Tax-Related Items that Sun or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or any aspect of the RSUs that cannot be satisfied by any of the means described in the preceding paragraph. Sun may refuse to
deliver shares of Stock to you if you fail to meet your Tax-Related Item obligations, as described in this section.

| |  |         the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional
and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;          all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of Sun;          your participation in the Plan is voluntary;          the RSUs are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of
any kind for Service of any kind rendered to Sun or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;          the RSUs and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan are not part of
normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or welfare or retirement
benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for Sun or the Employer;          the RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or
relationship with Sun, the Employer or any Affiliate or Subsidiary;          the future value of the underlying shares of Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;          in
consideration of the grant of the RSUs, no claim for compensation or damages may be made as a result of the termination of the RSUs or from a reduction in value of the RSUs or shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs as a result of your
termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release Sun and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Award Agreement, you have irrevocably waived your entitlement to pursue such a claim;

APPENDIX A

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC. 2007 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

FOR NON U.S.-EMPLOYEES

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to you under the Plan if you
reside in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A are defined in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement, and have the meanings set forth therein.

This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the
Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2007. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, Sun strongly recommends that you not rely on
the information noted in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that you vest in the RSUs or sell shares of Stock
acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and Sun is not
in a position to assure you of a particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.

Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to
you.

UNITED KINGDOM

RSUs
Payable Only in Shares. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Award Agreement, if you are resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, the grant of RSUs does not provide any right for you to
receive a cash payment and the RSUs are payable in shares of Stock only.

Withholding Taxes. This provision supplements the Withholding Taxes
section of the Award Agreement:



- 11 -



---

If payment or withholding of the Tax-Related Items (including the Employers Liability, as defined below) is not
made within 90 days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the Due Date) or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected
Tax-Related Items will constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC), it will be
immediately due and repayable, and Sun or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Withholding Taxes section of the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive
officer of Sun (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the Tax-Related Items. In the event that you are a director or executive officer
and the Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (including the
Employers Liability, as defined below) will be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax and national insurance contributions (including the Employers Liability, as defined below) due on this additional
benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

Joint Election. As a condition of your participation in the Plan and the vesting of the
RSUs, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions (the Employers Liability) which may be payable by Sun and/or the Employer in connection with the RSUs and any event giving rise to
Tax-Related Items. To accomplish the foregoing, you agree to execute the following joint election with Sun (the Election), the form of such Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or elections required to
accomplish the transfer of the Employers Liability to you. You further agree to execute such other joint elections as may be required between yourself and any successor to Sun and/or the Employer. If you do not enter into the
Election when you accept the Award Agreement, or if the Election is revoked at any time by HMRC, the RSUs will cease vesting and become null and void, and no shares of Stock will be acquired under the Plan, without any liability to Sun,
the Employer and/or any Affiliate. You further agree that Sun and/or the Employer may collect the Employers Liability by any of the means set forth in the Withholding Taxes section of the Award Agreement.
