Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 27, 2008, we finalized a bonus program for our executive officers for 2008.  Under the program, we must achieve specified levels of revenue and non-GAAP operating income for 2008 in order for our officers to be eligible to receive a bonus for 2008.  Once the specified levels of revenue and non-GAAP operating income are achieved, a "bonus pool" will be created for our executive officers equal to specified percentages of our 2008 non-GAAP operating income.  These percentages vary based on our actual revenue and non-GAAP operating income.

Target bonuses are expressed as percentages of individuals' base salary and, for our named executive officers are:

Name and Position
Target Bonus Percentage
Abhijit Y. Talwalkar
President and Chief Executive Officer
 
125%
Bryon Look
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
 
70%
D. Jeffrey Richardson
Executive Vice President, Network and Storage Products Group
 
70%
Flavio Santoni
Executive Vice President, Server and Storage Customer Sales
 
60%

The bonus for any executive officer would be the officer's share of the pool, based on all participating officers' target bonuses, and can be adjusted up or down based on the level of achievement of additional corporate and business group financial and operating goals.
