'Acer Mania' has been designed to reward retail partners via a host of
schemes available to them on a monthly and quarterly basis, which is over and
above the regular schemes available for the channel partners. These include
monthly booster schemes, rewards for achieving quarter targets and an exclusive
booster for AMD based Acer SKUs and pre load OS based Acer SKUs in partnership
with Microsoft.

S. Rajendran, GM - Sales and Marketing, Acer India said, "This incentive
scheme is one of many initiatives that we have for our retail partners. The
"Acer Mania" scheme is split into five sub schemes called - "Mr.
Dependable", "Mad about AMD challenge", "Acer - MS Genuine
Software Challenge", "Digital Lifestyle Evangelist" and the
"Top Gun Challenge". The "Mr. Dependable" contest rewards
those partners who achieve their target every month in the quarter. The
"Mad about AMD challenge" award is an exclusive contest on AMD
notebooks and Desktops where Acer will continue to test the demand for AMD
within the retail community. The "Acer - MS Genuine Software
Challenge" is an initiative in partnership with Microsoft to rewards
partners who buy machines with a pre loaded OS (Vista Home basic/ Vista
Business/ Vista Home premium). The "Digital Lifestyle Evangelist"
contest is a rewards program based on Acer's premium lifestyle product line like
the Ferrari and Ultra Small Form Factor series, Travel Mate 6292 and Aspire
4920. Last, but not least is the "Top Gun Challenge" which runs on a
6-month target with the partners who achieve their targets winning a chance to
travel to Europe."

During the period of the "Acer Mania" scheme, partners are expected
to operate within the market operating price band. Special price deals, demo
units, stand alone CRT monitors and desktops without monitors are excluded from
the purview of this mega contest. All partner claims must be made before January
25th, 2008.
