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.)
