  10. Executive Summary Revenue / Sales '05 January 2005 Sales • Pearson • GM • Bed Bath and Beyond • Hitachi • Keynote January 2004 Sales • 0 Sales Need Update RAY • 2005 Goal $52M TCV (Annual) • 2005 Goal $ 25M ACV (Annual) • YTD Goal $4.3M TCV YTD Jan. 05 • YTD Actual $1.351M TCV YTD Jan. 05 • 31% • YTD Goal $2.08 M ACV YTD Jan. 05 • YTD Actual $1.351M ACV YTD Jan. 05 • 64%

  11. Inhibitors to“Green” SE Resources: • AT&T doesn't have SE-like resources. Sun REs require these resources from partners. Sun will give preferential treatment to Sun partners that provide these resources (750K Sirius) Awareness: • How do we create greater awareness in the general sales force? Two plus years into the Alliance and we are not at an awareness level where we need to be. AT&T sales teams are network centric. How do we get them to be more Sun aware and understand where Sun plays in the market place? (Example NYC, CBOT, etc. ) AT&T needs effective messaging/awareness because Sun team can’t be everywhere. Responsiveness and Sense of Urgency: • Lack of communication and responsiveness of many/most AT&T Sales Teams. (Tribune, Dolex, Caremark). There seems to be a lack of urgency or they are busy with other priorities. Dolex is at risk ($700K - $1M) due to delay in quoting. Storage Certification: • AT&T proposed Utility Computing (Hitachi) model for a new i2 implementation. Decision is still pending but looks very favorable, expect to hear by mid-March. IBM has dominated the account, and performs better on i2, so AT&T and Sun worked hard to craft the architecture and winning UC value proposition. AT&T proposed using their "standard" EMC-based storage services as the "easiest path" to take on this challenging deal. Sun needs to get our storage certified as an alternative to EMC, and get AT&T to give their Hosting customers a choice between EMC and Sun (500K) Sun Grid/Utility: • Need Sun to share vision and strategy on Evolving Grid/Utility Model. AT&T can’t consider new offers until this model is shared with and understood by AT&T May need to be deleted Tom

  17. Mt. Laurel / Willow Rd. Project Update Need Update Joe Ciocco Sun and AT&T are currently working together to design and implement the office of the future for Sun Microsystems. Under Sun’s CIO direction and leadership Sun has selected the Mt. Laurel, NJ office to perform a Proof of Concept for an AT&T Hosted Thin Client Desktop solution. AT&T will host Sun’s equipment in an Internet Data Center (IDC) and provide network and network management services. AT&T (Hossein Eslambolchi – AT&T CIO) has requested that we use his office in Menlo Park (Willow Road) as a test site for AT&T so that both companies can assess the value and savings of this new IT model. If the POC proves to be successful, Sun will evaluate how it might expand the Hosted Desktop throughout its corporate infrastructure, and Simultaneously develop a GTM offer, which will be delivered by both sales forces
