      March
      24, 2008, the Compensation and Pension Committee of the Board of Directors
      (the

      pursuant to the 2008-2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2008-2010 LTIP" or
      the
      "Plan").&#160;&#160;The 2008-2010 LTIP is intended to reward the achievement of
      specific financial objectives over a three-year performance
      period.&#160;&#160;Under the 2008-2010 LTIP, certain executives, including five
      of the Company's Named Executive Officers (which officers were determined by
      reference to the Company&#8217;s Proxy Statement dated March 24, 2008), are eligible
      to receive a cash award at the end of the three-year performance period based
      on
      the achievement of certain financial objectives.&#160;&#160;The Compensation
      Committee has established Operating Income and Cash Cycle Days as the
      performance goals for the 2008 through 2010 performance period.&#160;&#160;At
      the end of the three-year performance period, if there is no calculated payout
      based on the Operating Income and Cash Cycle Days attainment, an additional
      calculation comparing the Company&#8217;s Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") with
      that of its peer companies over the same three-year period will be
      made.&#160;&#160;If the Company&#8217;s ROIC meets or exceeds the median of the
      three-year average return on invested capital of the Company&#8217;s designated peer
      companies for 2010 which are included in the S&amp;P Technology Index, then
      funding at the Minimum level will occur.</font></div>

Departure
                of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment
                of
                Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
                Officers.
On
      March
      24, 2008, the Compensation and Pension Committee of the Board of Directors
      (the
      "Compensation Committee") granted long-term incentive award opportunities
      pursuant to the 2008-2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2008-2010 LTIP" or
      the
      "Plan").  The 2008-2010 LTIP is intended to reward the achievement of
      specific financial objectives over a three-year performance
      period.  Under the 2008-2010 LTIP, certain executives, including five
      of the Company's Named Executive Officers (which officers were determined by
      reference to the Company's Proxy Statement dated March 24, 2008), are eligible
      to receive a cash award at the end of the three-year performance period based
      on
      the achievement of certain financial objectives.  The Compensation
      Committee has established Operating Income and Cash Cycle Days as the
      performance goals for the 2008 through 2010 performance period.  At
      the end of the three-year performance period, if there is no calculated payout
      based on the Operating Income and Cash Cycle Days attainment, an additional
      calculation comparing the Company's Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") with
      that of its peer companies over the same three-year period will be
      made.  If the Company's ROIC meets or exceeds the median of the
      three-year average return on invested capital of the Company's designated peer
      companies for 2010 which are included in the S&P Technology Index, then
      funding at the Minimum level will occur.
In
      the
      event of an executive's death, disability or retirement ("disability" and
      "retirement," each as defined in the Plan) during the three-year performance
      period, a prorated portion of the actual attainment as of the end of the
      calendar year in which the death, disability or retirement occurs will be paid
      to the executive or his or her estate.  Except in the event of death,
      disability or retirement, the executive must be employed at the end of the
      three-year performance period to receive a payout, if any, under the
      Plan.
The
      Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion in determining any
      payout to an executive under the 2008-2010 LTIP applying any factors that it
      deems appropriate in its sole discretion under the circumstances.
The
      Minimum, Target and Maximum award opportunities for each of the Named Executive
      Officers receiving an award are set forth in the following table:
