SILICON GRAPHICS INTERNATIONAL CORP.
2014 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit
Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), Silicon Graphics International Corp. (the
“Company”) has awarded you a Stock Unit Award under its 2014 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Stock Units as indicated in the Grant Notice
(collectively, the “Award”). Defined terms not explicitly defined in this
Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the
Plan. Subject to adjustment and the terms and conditions as provided herein and
in the Plan, each Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive one (1) share
of Stock.
The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice,
are as follows.
1. NUMBER OF STOCK UNITS AND SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. The number of Stock Units
in your Award is set forth in the Grant Notice.
(a) The number of Stock Units subject to your Award and the number of shares of
Stock deliverable with respect to such Stock Units may be adjusted from time to
time for certain transactions as described in Section 7 of the Plan. You shall
receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend
or other distribution that does not result in a transaction pursuant to Section
7 of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with
respect to any shares of Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your
Award after such shares have been delivered to you.
(b) Any additional Stock Units, shares of Stock, cash or other property that
becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 1 shall be subject, in a
manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions,
restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable
to the other Stock Units and Stock covered by your Award.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, no fractional Stock Units
or rights for fractional shares of Stock shall be created pursuant to this
Section 1. The Board shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit
for any fractional Stock Units or fractional shares that might be created by the
adjustments referred to in this Section 1.
2. VESTING. The Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as provided in the Vesting
Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice and the Plan, provided that vesting
shall cease upon the termination of your Employment.
3. DELIVERY OF SHARES OF STOCK. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and
the Plan, in the event one or more Stock Units vests, the Company shall deliver
to you one (1) share of Stock for each Stock Unit that vests on the applicable
vesting date. However, if a scheduled delivery date falls on a date that is not
a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following
business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you are subject
to the Company’s Policy Regarding Stock Trading by Officers, Directors and
Employees (or any successor policy) and any shares covered by your Award are
scheduled to be delivered on a day (the “Original Delivery Date”) that does not
occur during a “window period” applicable to you as determined by the Company in
accordance with such policy, then such shares shall not be delivered on such
Original Delivery Date and shall instead be delivered on the earlier to occur of
the following: (i) the first day of the next “window period”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

applicable to you pursuant to such policy; or (ii) the day that is sixty (60)
days after the Original Delivery Date. The form of such delivery (e.g., a stock
certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by
the Company.
4. PAYMENT BY YOU. This Award was granted in consideration of your services for
the Company. Subject to Section 10 below, except as otherwise provided in the
Grant Notice, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other
than your past and future services for the Company) with respect to your receipt
of the Award, vesting of the Stock Units, or the delivery of the shares of Stock
underlying the Stock Units.
5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Stock under your Award
unless the shares of Stock are either (i) then registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Company has
determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws
and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Stock if the
Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with
such laws and regulations.
6. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with
appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.
7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that shares of Stock have been
delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the
shares in respect of your Award. For example, you may not use shares that may be
issued in respect of your Stock Units as security for a loan, nor may you
transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares. This restriction on
transfer will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested
Stock Units. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written
notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate
a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to
receive any distribution of Stock pursuant to this Agreement.
8. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service
contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company
or any Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to continue
such service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or
any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees
to continue any relationship that you might have as an Employee or Consultant of
the Company or any Affiliate.
9. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and even as to any Stock Units
which vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with
respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Stock pursuant to this
Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement until such
Stock is issued to you pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon such
issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you
and the Company or any other person.
10. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.
(a)    On or before the time you receive a distribution of Stock pursuant to
your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby
authorize any required withholding from the Stock issuable to you and otherwise
agree to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal,
state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any
Affiliate which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”).
In this regard, you authorize the Company or any Affiliate, at the direction and
discretion of the Board and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from
time to time and to limitations of local law, to satisfy the Withholding Taxes
in whole or in part (without limitation) by any one or a combination of the
following: (i) your payment of a cash amount; (ii) by withholding from your
wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company or any Affiliate; or
(iii) by withholding shares of Stock with a fair market value equal to the
amount of such Withholding Taxes or (iv) withholding from proceeds of the sale
of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Award either through a
voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your
behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (v) by any
other arrangement approved by the Board, and under such rules as may be
established by the Board in compliance with the Company’s Policy Regarding Stock
Trading by Officers, Directors and Employees (or any successor policy), if
applicable; provided, however, that for subsections (iii) - (v) above, if
applicable, the number of such shares of Stock so withheld shall not exceed the
amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations
using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and
foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to
supplemental taxable income.
(b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate
are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Stock.
(c) In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the
delivery to you of Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Stock to you
that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the
amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company
harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.
11. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given
in writing to each of the other parties hereto and shall be deemed effectively
given on the earlier of (i) the date of personal delivery, including delivery by
express courier, or (ii) the date that is five (5) days after deposit in the
United States Post Office (whether or not actually received by the addressee),
