On August 27, 2008, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sun Microsystems, Inc. (the "Company") voted to amend the advance notice provisions of the Company's Bylaws related to the requirements for stockholders to nominate directors for election and to bring other business before the stockholders, effective following the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Bylaws have been revised as follows:

        Section 2.2 was simplified by removing the advance notice provisions and placing the same in a new Section 2.4.

        Section 2.3 has been revised to (i) clarify that a stockholder requesting a special meeting must comply with the advance notice provisions in Section 2.4 and (ii) provide that the Company may not hold a special meeting if there has been or will be an annual meeting within 90 days of receipt of a stockholder's notice calling for a special meeting and the Board has determined in good faith that the subject of the special meeting was addressed or will be addressed at such annual meeting.

        Section 2.4 expands and clarifies the requirements for a stockholder to provide timely notice of (i) business to be conducted at an annual meeting or (ii) director nominations to be included at an annual or special meeting. In particular, Section 2.4 requires a stockholder to provide certain details about the stockholder's ownership interests in the Company, including any hedging or derivative interests, as well as information regarding any person or entity related to or under common control with the stockholder. In addition, Section 2.4 sets forth the details required to be provided in the stockholder's notice regarding the proposed business or director nominee, including any materials arrangements or agreements related to the proposed business and whether the stockholder will deliver a proxy. Section 2.4 also provides that the business may not be brought before the meeting if the stockholder takes action contrary to the statements in such stockholder's notice or if such notice contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Finally, Section 2.4 permits the Board to reasonably request additional information to determine the eligibility of any director nominee.

        Section 3.3 was simplified by cross-referencing the advance notice provisions of Section 2.4 related to director nominations rather than repeating such provisions.
