Terms of the HP Cash Account Pension Plan

        Mr. Hurd and Mr. Bradley earned benefits under the CAPP, which is a cash balance plan that provides pension benefits determined by reference to a hypothetical account balance.

        Prior to the cessation of all accruals under the CAPP, participants received "pay credits" equal to four percent of base pay credited quarterly to their accounts and "interest credits" credited daily. Currently, participants who have not taken a distribution receive interest credits, credited at the rate equal to the one-year rate for Treasury securities plus one percent; the "interest credit" rate is adjusted annually. Benefits under the CAPP may be taken in one of several different annuity forms or in a lump sum equal to the hypothetical account balance.

        Participants in the CAPP with base pay in excess of IRS limits also received interest credits to a hypothetical account balance established for them under the CARP at the same rates as credited under the CAPP. Amounts under the CARP are unfunded and unsecured. Upon termination of employment, a CARP participant is paid his or her account balance in the form of a lump sum in January of the year following termination, subject to any delay required by Section 409A of the Code.

        HP does not sponsor any other supplemental pension plans or special retiree medical benefit plans.

Terms of the HP Cash Account Pension Plan

        The CAPP, a cash balance plan, is a successor to a pension plan originally established by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1966. Digital converted its traditional pension plan to a cash balance plan in 1997, before Digital's acquisition by Compaq Computer Corporation. The CAPP provides pension benefits determined by reference to a hypothetical account balance.

        Prior to the cessation of all accruals under the CAPP, participants received "pay credits" equal to four percent of base pay credited quarterly to their accounts and "interest credits" credited daily. Currently, participants who have not taken a distribution receive interest credits, credited at the rate equal to the one-year rate for Treasury securities plus one percent; the "interest credit" rate is adjusted annually. All participants with service on and after January 1, 2008 are fully vested in their CAPP and CARP benefits. Benefits under the CAPP may be taken in one of several different annuity forms or in a lump sum equal to the hypothetical account balance.

        Participants in the CAPP with base pay in excess of IRS limits also received interest credits to a hypothetical account balance established for them under the CARP at the same rates as credited under the CAPP. Amounts under the CARP are unfunded and unsecured. Upon termination of employment, a CARP participant is paid his or her account balance in the form of a lump sum in January of the year following termination, subject to any delay required by Section 409A of the Code.

        HP does not sponsor any other supplemental pension plans or special retiree medical benefit plans.

Terms of the HP Cash Account Pension Plan

        The CAPP, a cash balance plan, is a successor to a pension plan originally established by Digital in 1966. Digital had converted its traditional pension plan to a cash balance plan in 1997, before Digital's acquisition by Compaq. The CAPP provides pension benefits determined by reference to a hypothetical account balance.

        Participants in the CAPP who have not ceased accruals receive "pay credits" equal to four percent of base pay credited quarterly to their accounts and "interest credits" credited daily to each account. Interest credits are credited at the rate equal to the one-year rate for Treasury securities plus one percent and are adjusted annually. Benefits under the CAPP may be taken in one of several different annuity forms or in a lump sum equal to the hypothetical account balance.

        Participants in the CAPP who continue to earn accruals and who earn base pay in excess of the IRS limits receive pay credits and interest credits to a hypothetical account balance established for them under the CARP at the same rates as credited under the CAPP. Amounts under the CARP are unfunded and unsecured. Upon termination of employment, a CARP participant is paid his or her account balance in the

50



form of a lump sum in January of the year following termination, subject to any delay required by Section 409A of the Code.

        Participants in the CAPP/CARP who have ceased accruing benefits (including Mr. Hurd) do not receive pay credits, but do receive interest credits to their accounts. In addition, they continue to earn service toward the five-year vesting requirement of the plans.

        HP does not sponsor any other supplemental pension plans or special retiree medical benefit plans.

The amounts deferred under the EDCP for each individual are reported as compensation to such NEO in the Fiscal 2007 Summary Compensation Table above.

Because Mr. Hurd and Mr. Robison are in the category of U.S. employees who did not accrue pension benefits during fiscal 2007, they were eligible for a 6% matching contribution on deferrals of base pay amounts up to two times the IRS limit on compensation that can be taken into account under the qualified HP 401(k) Plan, with the matching contribution on such amounts in excess of such IRS limits provided under the EDCP. For example, Mr. Hurd was credited with a 6% matching contribution under the EDCP on his base pay deferrals between $220,000 and $440,000; matching contributions on his base pay deferrals up to $220,000 were made into the qualified HP 401(k) Plan.
