SILICON GRAPHICS, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

1993 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

1.                                       Purpose
of the Plan.  The purpose of the
Silicon Graphics, Inc. 1993 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”)
is to promote the long-term success of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (“SGI”) and
to increase stockholder value by providing its eligible employees, consultants,
officers and directors with incentives to create excellent performance and to
continue service with the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates. Both by
encouraging such employees, consultants, officers and directors to become
owners of Common Stock and by providing actual ownership through Plan awards,
it is intended that Plan participants will view the Company from an ownership
perspective. Additionally, the Company believes the Plan will assist in
attracting and retaining people of the highest caliber.

 

2.                                       Eligibility.  SARs and Stock Awards (collectively “Rights”)
and Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and
Directors. Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”) or any successor section (“Incentive Stock Options”) may
be granted only to Employees. If otherwise eligible, an Employee, Consultant or
Director who has been granted an Option or Right may be granted additional
Options or Rights.

 

3.                                       Stock
Subject to the Plan.

 

(a)                                  Subject
to Section 12 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company (“shares”) that may be issued pursuant to Options and
Rights granted to participants under the Plan shall be the sum of 3.5% of the
issued shares at June 30 of each of the Company’s fiscal years from 1993
through 1997, plus any unused carried forward shares and any forfeited shares;
provided, however, that the number of shares that may be transferred to
participants under the Plan in any one fiscal year of the Company shall not
exceed 3.5% of the issued shares determined as of the June 30 of the
immediately preceding fiscal year plus any unused carried forward shares and
any forfeited shares. The term “shares” shall include shares that have been
subject to SARs that are exercised for cash, whether granted in connection with
or independently of Options. For purposes of this Section 3, the following
apply: (i) the number of “issued shares” at June 30 of a fiscal year
means the number of shares outstanding at that date, plus all shares reacquired
by the Company during the preceding fiscal year, whether or not such shares are
designated as retired or treasury shares; (ii) ”unused shares” means any
shares available from a prior Plan year, based on the percentage of issued
shares calculation, which were not transferred, plus any shares reserved for
grants which have not been covered by grants under prior shareholder-approved
plans other than the 1985 Stock Incentive Program (“Prior Plans”) which will be
terminated as of the effective date of the Plan; and (iii) ”forfeited
shares”

 

1

 

means any shares issued
pursuant to awards made under the Plan which are forfeited to the Company
pursuant to award terms and conditions, plus any shares covered by grants made
under Prior Plans which are not issued to participants or are returned to the
Company because of the cancellation, expiration or forfeiture of a grant made
under the Prior Plans; provided, however, that the term “forfeited shares”
shall not include shares as to which the original recipient received any
benefits of ownership (other than voting rights).

 

(b)                                 In
no event, however, except as subject to Section 12 of the Plan, shall more
than 23,025,560 of the shares eligible for issuance under the Plan be issued
upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, the
maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards
contemplated by Section 8 of the Plan shall be limited to 3,800,000 shares
(approximately 3% of the number of shares outstanding at June 30, 1993).

 

(c)                                  The
following limitations will apply to grants of Options or SARs under the Plan:

 

(i)                                     no
Employee will be granted Options or SARs under the Plan to purchase more than
2,000,000 shares over the term of the Plan, provided that, if the number of shares
available for issuance under Section 3(a) of the Plan is increased, the
maximum number of Options or SARs that any Employee may be granted also
automatically will increase by an amount equal to 500,000 shares for each
additional fiscal year in which shares are allocated for issuance under the
Plan.

 

The foregoing
limitations set forth in this Section 3(c) are intended to satisfy the
requirements applicable to Options and SARs intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(k) of the Code. In the
event that the Committee determines that such limitations are not required to
qualify Options or SARs as performance-based compensation, the Committee
may modify or eliminate such limitations.

 

(d)                                 For
purposes of Section 3(a), except as to forfeited shares, the payment of
cash dividends and dividend equivalents in conjunction with outstanding awards
shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance.

 

(e)                                  Any
shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized and
unissued shares or of treasury shares, and no fractional shares shall be issued
under the Plan. Cash may be paid in lieu of any fractional shares in settlement
of awards under the Plan.

committees with respect to different groups of Employees, Consultants and
Directors.  Committee shall mean a
committee of Directors appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

 

(ii)                                  Section 162m.  To the
extent that the Company determines it to be desirable to qualify Options
granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a committee of
two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code.

 

(iii)                               Rule 16b-3.  To the
extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3,
the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the
requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

 

(iv)                              Other Administration. 
Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the
Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy
applicable laws.

 

(b)                                 Powers of the Committee. 
The Committee shall have full and exclusive power to interpret the Plan
and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out the Plan
as it may deem necessary or proper. This power includes, but is not limited to,
selecting award recipients, establishing all award terms and conditions and
adopting modifications, amendments and procedures, including subplans and the
like as may be necessary to comply with provisions of the laws and applicable
regulatory rulings of countries in which the Company operates in order to
assure the viability of awards granted under the Plan and to enable
participants employed in such countries to receive advantages and benefits
under the Plan and such laws and rulings.

 

(c)                                  Effect
of Committee’s Decision.  The
Committee’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options or Rights.

 

(d)                                 Tax Withholding.  The
Committee may, in its discretion, allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option that number of shares having a Fair Market
Value of the shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by an Optionee to have shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable.

5.                                       Duration

that in no event may Incentive Stock Options be granted under the Plan later
than 10 years from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board.

 

6.                                       Awards.  The Committee shall determine the type or
types of award(s) to be made to each participant. Awards may be granted singly,
in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in
tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for
grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Company,
including the plan of any acquired entity. The types of awards that may be
granted under the Plan are Options, SARs and Stock Awards.

 

7.                                       Options
and SARs.

 

(a)                                  Options;
Number of Shares.  The Committee, in
its discretion, may grant Options to eligible participants and shall determine
whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock
Options. Each Option shall be evidenced by a Notice of Grant which shall
specify the number of shares to which it pertains, expressly identify the
Options as Incentive Stock Options or as Nonstatutory Stock Options and be in
such form and contain such provisions as the Committee shall from time to time
deem appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may at any time
authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective recipients, to issue
new Options or Rights in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of
outstanding Options or Rights. Option agreements shall contain the following
terms and conditions:

 

(i)                                     Exercise Price.  The
per share exercise price for the shares issuable pursuant to an Option shall be
such price as is determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no
event shall the price of an Option or SAR be less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option or SAR is granted, subject to
any additional conditions set out in Subsection 7(a)(v) below.

 

(ii)                                  Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.  At the time an Option is granted, the
Committee shall determine the terms and conditions to be satisfied before
shares may be purchased, including the dates on which shares subject to the
Option may first be purchased. The Committee may specify that an Option may not
be exercised until the completion of a service period specified at the time of
grant. (Any such period is referred to herein as the “waiting period.”) At the
time an Option is granted, the Committee shall fix the period within which the
Option may be exercised, which shall not be earlier than the end of the waiting
period, if any, nor, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, later than ten
(10) years, from the date of grant.

 

(iii)                               Form of Payment.  The
consideration to be paid for the shares to be issued upon exercise of an
Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee
(and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time
of grant) and may consist entirely of:

 

4

 

(1)                                  cash;

 

(2)                                  check;

 

(3)                                  other
shares which (a) in the case of shares acquired upon exercise of an
option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of
surrender, and (b) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender not
greater than the aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised;

 

(4)                                  delivery
of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation
as the Committee and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an
exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds
required to pay the exercise price;

 

(5)                                  any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

 

(6)                                  such
other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

(iv)                              Reload Options.  The
Committee may grant Options that provide for the award of a new Option when the
exercise price has been paid by tendering shares to the Company, subject to
such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

 

(v)                                 Special Incentive Stock Option Provisions.  In addition to the foregoing, Options granted
under the Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(1)                                  Dollar Limitation.  To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of (a) the shares with respect
to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options plus (b) the shares of
stock of the Company with respect to which other Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under
all plans of the Company exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (a) Options
shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and
(b) the Fair Market Value of the shares shall be determined as of the time
the Option or other Incentive Stock Option is granted.

 

(2)                                  10% Stockholder.  If
any Optionee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is to be granted pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan is, on the date of grant, an individual described in
Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, then the following special provisions shall
be applicable to the Option granted to such individual:

 

5

 

(a)                                  The
per share Option price of shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option shall
not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of
grant; and

 

(b)                                 The
Option shall not have a term in excess of five (5) years from the date of
grant.

 

Except as
modified by the preceding provisions of this subsection 7(a)(v) and except as
otherwise limited by Section 422 of the Code, all of the provisions of the
Plan shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder.

 

(vi)                              Other Provisions. 
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, each
Option shall provide that in the event of a change in control of the Company
(as specified by the Committee), any Optionee’s Options will become exercisable
in full if, within twenty-four months after a change in control of the
Company, the Optionee’s employment is terminated without cause or the Optionee
resigns due to certain involuntary relocations or reductions in compensation,
as specified by the Committee. Each Option granted under the Plan may contain
such other terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as
may be determined by the Committee.

 

(vii)                           Buyout Provisions. 
The Committee may at any time offer to buyout for a payment in cash,
promissory note or shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Optionee
at the time that such offer is made.

 

(b)                                 SARs.

 

(i)                                     In Connection with Options. 
At the sole discretion of the Committee, SARs may be granted in
connection with all or any part of an Option, either concurrently with the
grant of the Option or at any time thereafter during the term of the Option.
The following provisions apply to SARs that are granted in connection with
Options:

 

(1)                                  The
SAR shall entitle the Optionee to exercise the SAR by surrendering to the
Company unexercised the corresponding portion of the related Option. The
Optionee shall receive in exchange from the Company an amount equal to the
excess of (1) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the SAR of the
Common Stock covered by the surrendered portion of the related Option over (2)
the exercise price of the Common Stock covered by the surrendered portion of
the related Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may place
limits on the amount that may be paid upon exercise of an SAR; provided, however, that such limit shall not restrict the
exercisability of the related Option.

 

(2)                                  When
an SAR is exercised, the related Option, to the extent surrendered, shall cease
to be exercisable.

 

6

 

(3)                                  An
SAR shall be exercisable only when and to the extent that the related Option is
exercisable and shall expire no later than the date on which the related Option
expires.

 

(4)                                  An
SAR may only be exercised at a time when the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock covered by the related Option exceeds the exercise price of the Common
Stock covered by the related Option.

 

(ii)                                  Independent of Options. 
At the sole discretion of the Committee, SARs may be granted without
related Options. The following provisions apply to SARs that are not granted in
connection with Options:

 

(1)                                  The
SAR shall entitle the Optionee, by exercising the SAR, to receive from the
Company an amount equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock covered by the exercised portion of the SAR, as of the date of
such exercise, over (2) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by
the exercised portion of the SAR, as of the last market trading date prior to
the date on which the SAR was granted; provided, however,
that the Committee may place limits on the aggregate amount that may be paid
upon exercise of an SAR.

 

(2)                                  SARs
shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Committee shall
specify in the Optionee’s SAR agreement.

 

(iii)                               Form of Payment.  
The Company’s obligation arising upon the exercise of an SAR may be paid
in Common Stock or in cash, or in any combination of Common Stock and cash, as
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine. Shares issued upon the exercise
of an SAR shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of
exercise.

 

(c)                                  Method of Exercise.

 

(i)                                     Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option or SAR granted hereunder shall be
exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the
Committee and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan.

 

An Option may
not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

 

An Option or
SAR shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has
been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option or SAR by
the person entitled to exercise the Option or SAR and full payment for the
shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee and permitted by the
Option Agreement, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable
under subsection 7(a)(iii) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry

 

7

 

on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate
evidencing such shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

 

Exercise of an
Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of shares which
thereafter shall be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of shares as to which the Option is exercised.
Exercise of an SAR for Common Stock shall, to the extent the SAR is exercised,
result in a decrease in the number of shares which thereafter shall be
available for purposes of the Plan, and the SAR shall cease to be exercisable
to the extent it has been exercised.

 

(ii)                                  Termination of Employment, Consulting or Director Relationship.  In the event an Optionee’s Continuous Status
as an Employee , Consultant or Director terminates (other than upon the
Optionee’s death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option or
SAR, but only within such period of time from the date of such termination as
is determined by the Committee, not to exceed three (3) months in the case of
an Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, and, unless
determined otherwise by the Committee, only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later
than the expiration of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the
Option or SAR Agreement). To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to
exercise an Option or SAR at the date of such termination, and to the extent
that the Optionee does not exercise such Option or SAR (to the extent otherwise
so entitled) within the time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall
terminate.

 

(iii)                               Disability of Optionee. 
In the event an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee ,Consultant
or Director terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option or SAR, but only within twelve (12) months from
the date of such termination, and, unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at
the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the
term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the Option or SAR Agreement). To the
extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option or SAR at the date
of such termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not exercise such
Option or SAR (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified
herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate.

 

(iv)                              Death of Optionee.  In
the event of an Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who
acquired the right to exercise the deceased Optionee’s Option or SAR by bequest
or inheritance may exercise the Option or SAR, but only within twelve (12)
months following the date of death, and, unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at
the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option or SAR

 

8

 

as set forth in the Option or
SAR Agreement). To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise an
Option or SAR at the date of death, and to the extent that the Optionee’s
estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option does not
exercise such Option or SAR (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the
time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Stock Awards.

 

(a)                                  Stock
Awards.  All or part of any Stock
Award may be subject to conditions and restrictions established by the
Committee, and set forth in the award agreement, which will include, but are
not limited to, achievement of specific business objectives and other
measurements of individual, business unit or Company performance measured over
a period of not less than twelve (12) months.

 

9.                                       Outside
Director Grants.

Options granted pursuant to this Section shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options
and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be subject to the other terms
and conditions of the Plan.

 

(b)                                 All
grants of Options hereunder shall be automatic and non-discretionary and shall
be made strictly in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)                                     No
person shall have any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be
granted Options or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by Options
granted to Outside Directors.

 

(ii)                                  Each
Outside Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 50,000
Shares (which number shall be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in
Section 12 hereof upon the occurrence of any event described therein) upon the
date on which such person first becomes a Director (an “Initial Grant”),
whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or by appointment
by the Board to fill a vacancy.

 

(iii)                               On
the date of each regular October meeting of the Board of Directors of the

the next regularly scheduled Board meeting) during the term of this Plan, each
Outside Director who has served as a Director for at least the previous six (6)
months shall automatically receive an Option to purchase 20,000 Shares (which
number shall be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 12
hereof upon the occurrence of any event described therein) (a “Renewal Grant”).

 

(iv)                              The
terms of each Option granted pursuant to this Section shall be as follows:

 

9

 

(1)                                  the
term of the Option shall be ten (10) years.

 

(2)                                  the
Option shall be exercisable only while the Outside Director remains a Director
of the Company, except as set forth in Section 7 hereof; provided
that if the Optionee retires from the Board of Directors of the Company at 65
or more years of age with more than 5 years of continuous service on the Board,
he or she may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of termination,
exercise the Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the
date of such termination; provided  further that in the event the exercise period terminates at
a time when the Optionee is prohibited from engaging in transactions in the
Company’s stock as a result of the Company’s trading window being closed, the
Option shall remain exercisable until the Optionee is no longer so prohibited;

 

(3)                                  the
exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant of the Option;

 

(4)                                  with
respect to Initial Grants, the Option will become exercisable in two annual
installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date,
so long as the Optionee remains a Director on such date; provided
that the Option will become fully exercisable in the event of the occurrence of
one of the following events while the Optionee remains a Director (a “Change of
Control”): (x) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into any other entity pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold, directly or indirectly,
less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity; (y) the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (z)
the acquisition by any person or persons of the beneficial ownership of 50% or
more of the voting power of the Company’s equity securities in a single
transaction or series of related transactions; and

 

(5)                                  with
respect to Renewal Grants, the Option will be fully exercisable on the grant
date.

 

v)                                     In
the event that any Option granted under the Plan would cause the number of
Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares previously
purchased upon exercise of Options to exceed the Pool, then each such automatic
grant shall be for that number of Shares determined by dividing the total
number of Shares remaining available for grant by the number of Outside
Directors on the automatic grant date. 
No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as additional
Shares become available for grant under the Plan through action of the
shareholders to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the
Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options previously granted
hereunder.

 

10.                                 Deferrals and Settlements. 
Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards
or combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine, and with such
restrictions as it may impose including, without limitation, restrictions
imposed on Insiders under Rule 16b-3. The Committee also may require or

 

10

 

permit participants to elect to
defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such
rules and procedures as it may establish under the Plan. The Committee may also
provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest
on the deferral amounts.

 

11.                                 Transferability of Options and Rights.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
to the contrary, Options and Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by
the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime
of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. 
The Committee may, in the manner established by the Committee, provide
for the transfer, without payment of consideration, of an Option or Right by
the Optionee to the Optionee’s “immediate family”.  In such case, the Option or Right will be
exercisable only by such transferee. 
Following a transfer, any such Options or Rights shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to the transfer.  For purposes of this
Section 11, the Optionee’s “immediate family” shall include any child,
stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse,
sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the Optionee’s household (other than a tenant
or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of
the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Optionee)
control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons
(or the Optionee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests.  A transfer under a domestic relations order
in settlement of marital property rights is not a prohibited transfer for value.

 

12.                                 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset
Sale or Change of Control.

 

(a)                                  Changes in Capitalization. 
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and Right,
and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Rights have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
of an Option or Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option or Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for
any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination
or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected
without receipt of consideration.”  Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Option or Right.

 

11

 

(b)                                 Dissolution or Liquidation. 
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
to the extent that an Option or Right has not been previously exercised, it
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances,
declare that any Option or Right shall terminate as of a date fixed by the
Committee and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option or
Right as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including shares as to which
the Option or Right would not otherwise be exercisable.

 

(c)                                  Merger
or Asset Sale.  In the event of a
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and
Right shall be assumed or an equivalent Option or Right substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
In the event that the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option
or to substitute an equivalent option, the Committee may, in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, provide for the Optionee to have the right to
exercise the Option or Right as to all or a portion of the Optioned Stock,
including shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If the
Committee makes an Option or Right exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Committee shall
notify the Optionee that the Option or Right shall be exercisable for such
period as the Committee may designate, and the Option or Right will terminate
upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
Section 12(c), the Option or Right shall be considered assumed if,
immediately following the merger or sale of assets, the Option or Right confers
the right to receive, for each share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or
Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger
or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the
effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee
may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the Optionee, provide
for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Right,
for each share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Right, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in Fair Market
Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or sale of assets.

 

13.                                 Date of Grant.  The
date of grant of an Option or Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on
which the Committee makes the determination granting such Option or Right, or
such other later date as is determined by the Committee. Notice of the
determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after
the date of such grant.

 

 

12

 

14.                                 Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)                                  Amendment and Termination. 
The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b)                                 Stockholder Approval. 
The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to
the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 or with
Section 422 of the Code (or any successor rule or statute or other
applicable law, rule or regulation, including the requirements of any exchange
or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted). Such
stockholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to
such a degree as is required by the Applicable Laws, rules or regulations.

 

(c)                                  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or
termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Company, which agreement
must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

 

15.                                 Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)                                  Legal Compliance. 
Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or
Right unless the exercise of such Option or Right and the issuance and delivery
of such shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including,
without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, Applicable Laws, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the shares
may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

(b)                                 Investment Representations. 
As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Right, the Company may
require the person exercising such Option or Right to represent and warrant at
the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for
investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.

 

16.                                 Liability of Company.

 

(a)                                  Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

 

(b)                                 Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares.  If the Optioned Stock covered by an Option or
Right exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of shares which may be
issued under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such Option or
Right shall be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless
stockholder approval of

 

13

 

an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in
accordance with Section 14 of the Plan.

 

17.                                 Reservation of Shares. 
The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and
keep available such number of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

 

18.                                 Stockholder Approval. 
Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders
of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is
adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the
degree required by the Applicable Laws, rules and regulations.

“NOTICE”) which is incorporated herein by reference, an Option to purchase the
total number of shares of Common Stock and at the price determined, both as set
forth on the attached NOTICE, and in all respects subject to the terms,
definitions and provisions of the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (the
“Plan”) adopted by SGI which is incorporated herein by reference. The terms
defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings herein.

 

By signing the
NOTICE, Optionee acknowledges responsibility of reviewing the terms of the Plan
and the related prospectus, copies of which are available at
http://www-finance.corp.sgi.com/stock or upon request from Employee Stock
Services (MS-645 or stock_support@sgi.com) and represents that he or she is
familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option
subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Optionee further agrees to
accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Board upon any questions arising under the Plan.

 

1.                                       Nature
of the Option. This Option is a non-statutory option and is not intended to
qualify for any special tax benefits to the Optionee.

 

2.                                       Exercise
Price. The exercise price for each share of Common Stock is as set forth in
the attached NOTICE, which price is not less than the fair market value per
share of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

 

3.                                       Exercise
of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan as follows:

 

(a)                                  Right
to Exercise.

 

(i)                                     Subject
to subsection 3(a) (ii) and (iii), below, this Option shall be exercisable to
the extent of six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the Shares subject to the
Option every three months on each quarterly anniversary of the date of grant as
set forth in the attached NOTICE.

 

(ii)                                  This
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

 

(iii)                               In
the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment,
the exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 7, 8, and 9 below.

 

(b)                                 Method
of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written notice signed by
the Optionee and delivered to the Company’s Employee Stock Services group or by
using the electronic exercise methods approved from time to time by Employee
Stock Services (currently www.optionslink.com). If electronic exercise method
is not chosen, such notice shall

 

 

be in the form of Exhibit A
(Stock Exercise Request) found at Employee Stock Services’ web site or upon
request. The exercise notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise
price. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company
of such written notice accompanied by the exercise price.

 

No Shares will
be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such
exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such
compliance, the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the
date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such shares.

 

4.                                       Optionee’s
Representations. In the event the shares purchasable pursuant to the
exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, Optionee shall,
concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to
SGI his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form of Exhibit B,
(available in Employee Stock Services) and shall read the applicable rules of
the Commissioner of Corporations attached to such Investment Representation
Statement.

 

5.                                       Method
of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following,
or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

 

(i)                                     cash;
or

 

(ii)                                  check;
or

 

(iii)                               surrender
of other Shares of Common Stock of SGI of a value equal to the exercise price
of the shares as to which the Option is being exercised which, in the case of
shares acquired previously upon exercise of an option have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender; or

 

(iv) delivery
of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation
as SGI and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of
the Option and delivery to SGI of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price.

 

6.                                       Restrictions
on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan
has been approved by the shareholders of SGI, or if the issuance of such Shares
upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or
other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (“Regulation G”) as promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require
Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be
required by any applicable law or regulation.

 

7.                                       Termination
of Status as an Employee or Consultant. If Optionee ceases to serve as an
Employee or Consultant, he or she may, but only within three (3) months after
the date he or she ceases to be an Employee or Consultant of the Company,
exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination. To the extent that he or she was not entitled
to exercise this Option at the date of such termination, or if he or she does

 

 

not exercise this Option within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Disability
of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7 above, if Optionee
is unable to continue his or her employment or consulting relationship with the
Company as a result of his or her Disability, the Optionee may, but only within
twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, exercise his or her Option
to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such
termination. To the extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not exercise such
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

9.                                       Death
of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee during the term of this
Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months
following the date of death, by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the
extent of the right to exercise that had accrued as of the date of death.

 

10.                                 Transferability
of Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee to the contrary,
this Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the
Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

11.                                 Term
of Option. This Option may not be exercised more than seven (7) years (five
years if Optionee owns, immediately before this Option is granted, stock
representing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of SGI) from the date of grant of this Option, and may be
exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this
Option.

 

12.                                 Taxation
Upon Exercise of Option. Optionee understands that, upon exercise of this
Option, he will recognize income for tax purposes in an amount equal to the
excess of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price. The
Company will be required to withhold tax from Optionee’s current compensation
with respect to such income; to the extent that Optionee’s current compensation
is insufficient to satisfy the withholding tax liability, the Company may
require the Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability as a
condition of exercise of this Option. Upon a resale of such shares by the
Optionee, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of
the shares on the date of exercise of the Option will be treated as capital
gain or loss.

 

13.                                 Acceleration
Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding provisions of Section 3(a) with
respect to option exercisability, in the event of a Change of Control of the
Company, this Option shall automatically become exercisable in full if, within
twenty-four (24) months after a Change of Control Date, (i) the Optionee is
involuntarily terminated by the Company or any successor company (hereinafter,
the “Employer”) without Cause or (ii) the Optionee voluntarily resigns from the

(3) months after the date he or she ceases to be a Director of the Company,
exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised
after its ten (10) year term has expired. 
To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option
at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise this
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

7.                                       Disability
of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6 above, if the Optionee is unable to continue his or her
service as a Director as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, he or she may,
but only within twelve (12) months from the date of termination, exercise this
Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event may the Option be exercised after its ten (10) year term has
expired.  To the extent that the Optionee
was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of termination, or if the
Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Death
of Optionee.  In the event of the
death of the Optionee during the term of this Option, the Option may be
exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death,
by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to
exercise that had accrued at the date of death. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised
after its ten (10) year term has expired.

 

9.                                       Transferability
of Option.  Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee to the contrary, this Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee.  The terms of this Option shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.

 

10.                                 Term
of Option.  This Option may not be exercised
more than ten (10) years (five years if Optionee owns, immediately before this
Option is granted, stock representing more than 10 percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of SGI) from the date of grant of
this Option, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the
Plan and the terms of this Option.

 

11.                                 Taxation
Upon Exercise of Option.  Optionee
understands that, upon exercise of this Option, he or she will recognize income
for tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value
of the Shares purchased over the exercise price paid for such Shares.  (Since the Optionee is subject to Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the measurement and
timing of such income may be deferred, and the Optionee is advised to contact a
tax advisor concerning the desirability of filing an 83(b) election in
connection with the exercise of the Option.) 
Upon a resale of such Shares by the Optionee, any difference between the
sale price and the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise of
the Option, to the extent not included in income as described above, will be
treated as capital gain or loss.

SILICON GRAPHICS, INC.

DIRECTOR’S OPTION AGREEMENT

(First Option)

 

Silicon
Graphics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SGI"), has granted              
an option to purchase a total of 50,000 shares of SGI’s Common Stock (the "Optioned
Stock"), at the price determined as provided herein, and in all respects
subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 1993 Long-Term
Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") adopted by SGI which is
incorporated herein by reference.  The
terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings herein.

 

1.                                       Nature
of the Option.  This Option is a
nonstatutory option and is not intended to qualify for any special tax benefits
to the Optionee.

 

2.                                       Exercise
Price.  The exercise price is $      
for each share of Common Stock, which is 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock as determined on the date of grant of this Option.

 

3.                                       Exercise
of Option.  This option shall be
exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of
the Plan as follows:

 

(i)                                     Right
to Exercise.

 

(a)                                  This
Option shall become exercisable in two installments:  the first fifty percent (50%) of the Optioned
Stock on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and the second fifty percent
(50%) of the Optioned Stock on the date of the next anniversary of the Grant
Date, so long as the Optionee remains a Director.

 

(b)                                 This
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

 

(c)                                  In
the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of service as a
Director, the exercisability of this Option is governed by Sections 6, 7 and 8
of this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  Method
of Exercise.

 

(a)                                  This
Option shall be exercisable by written notice which shall state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is
being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the
holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares of Common Stock as may
be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall

 

 

be signed by the Optionee
and shall be delivered in person, by facsimile or by certified mail to the
SGI’s Employee Stock Services Department. 
The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price

 

(b)                                 No Shares
will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and
such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be
listed.  Assuming such compliance, the
Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the
Option is exercised with respect to such shares.

 

4.                                       Method
of Payment.  Payment of the exercise
price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the
election of the Optionee:

 

(i)                                     cash;

 

(ii)                                  check;

 

(iii)                               surrender
of other Shares of Common Stock of SGI of a value equal to the exercise price
of the shares as to which the Option is being exercised which, in the case of
shares acquired previously upon exercise of an option have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender; or

 

(iv)                              delivery
of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation
as SGI and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of
the Option and delivery to SGI of the sale of loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price.

 

5.                                       Restrictions
on Exercise.  This Option may not be
exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of
payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any
applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulations, or if such
issuance would not comply with the requirements of any stock exchange upon
which the Shares may then be listed.  As
a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to
make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any
applicable law or regulation.

 

6.                                       Termination
of Status as a Director.  If the
Optionee ceases to serve as a Director, he or she may, but only within three
(3) months after the date he or she ceases to be a Director of the Company,
exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised
after its five (5) year term has expired. 
To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option
at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise this
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

2

 

7.                                       Disability
of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6 above, if the Optionee is unable to continue his or her
service as a Director as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, he or she may,
but only within twelve (12) months from the date of termination, exercise this
Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its five (5) year term
has expired.  To the extent that the
Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of termination,
or if the Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Death
of Optionee.  In the event of the
death of the Optionee during the term of this Option, the Option may be exercised,
at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the
Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of death. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised
after its five (5) year term has expired.

 

9.                                       Transferability
of Option.  Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee to the contrary, this Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee.  The terms of this Option shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.

 

10.                                 Term
of Option.  This Option may not be
exercised more than five (5) years from the date of grant of this Option, and
may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the
terms of this Option.

 

11.                                 Taxation
Upon Exercise of Option.  Optionee
understands that, upon exercise of this Option, he or she will recognize income
for tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value
of the Shares purchased over the exercise price paid for such Shares.  (Since the Optionee is subject to Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the measurement and
timing of such income may be deferred, and the Optionee is advised to contact a
tax advisor concerning the desirability of filing an 83(b) election in
connection with the exercise of the Option.) 
Upon a resale of such Shares by the Optionee, any difference between the
sale price and the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise of
the Option, to the extent not included in income as described above, will be
treated as capital gain or loss.

AMENDED
AND RESTATED 1996 SUPPLEMENTAL NON-

EXECUTIVE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1.                                       Purpose
of the Plan.  The purpose of the
Silicon Graphics, Inc. 1996 Supplemental Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term success of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (“SGI”)
by providing supplemental equity incentives to non-executives of the Company to
address special circumstances identified from time to time by the Compensation
and Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board of
Directors of SGI (the “Board”), which could without limitation include special
retention programs addressing exceptional competitive pressures in the market
for technical personnel, special recognition programs for outstanding
performance, and other circumstances outside of the normal course.

 

2.                                       Eligibility.  Stock Awards (“Rights”) and Options may be
granted to Eligible Employees.  If
otherwise eligible, an Employee who has been granted an Option or Right may be
granted additional Options or Rights.

 

3.                                       Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

(a)                                  Subject
to Section 11 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company (“shares”) that may be issued pursuant to Options
and Rights granted to participants under the Plan shall be 22,500,000
shares.  If shares issued pursuant to a
Stock Award are forfeited or otherwise reacquired by the Company, or if an
Option or Right expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised
in full, the reacquired or unpurchased shares, respectively, that were subject
thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless
the Plan has terminated).

 

(b)                                 Any shares issued
under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized and unissued
shares or of treasury shares, and no fractional shares shall be issued under
the Plan.  Cash may be paid in lieu of
any fractional shares in settlement of awards under the Plan.

 

4.                                       Plan Administration.

 

(a)                                  Committee.  The Committee shall be responsible for
administering the Plan.  The Committee
shall have full and exclusive power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such
rules, 

 

 

regulations and guidelines for carrying out the Plan as it may deem
necessary or proper.  This power
includes, but is not limited to, selecting award recipients, establishing all
award terms and conditions and adopting modifications, amendments and
procedures, including subplans and the like as may be necessary to comply with
provisions of the laws and applicable regulatory rulings of countries in which
the Company operates in order to assure the viability of awards granted under
the Plan and to enable participants employed in such countries to receive
advantages and benefits under the Plan and such laws and rulings.

 

(b)                                 Effect of Committee’s
Decision.  The Committee’s decisions,
determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Optionees
and any other holders of Options or Rights.

 

5.                                       Duration of the Plan.  The Plan shall remain in effect until
terminated by the Board.

 

6.                                       Awards.  The Committee shall determine the type or
types of award(s) to be made to each participant.  Awards may be granted singly, in combination
or in tandem.  Awards also may be made in
combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the
payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan
of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.  The types of awards that may be granted under
the Plan are Options and Stock Awards.

 

7.                                       Options.

 

(a)                                  Options; Number of
Shares.  The Committee, in its
discretion, may grant Options to eligible participants.  Each Option shall be evidenced by a Notice of
Grant that shall specify the number of shares to which it pertains and be in
such form and contain such provisions as the Committee shall from time to time
deem appropriate.  Without limiting the
foregoing, the Committee may at any time authorize the Company, with the
consent of the respective recipients, to issue new Options or Rights in exchange
for the surrender and cancellation of outstanding Options or Rights.  Option agreements shall contain the following
terms and conditions:

 

(i)                                     Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the shares
issuable pursuant to an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Committee.

 

(ii)                                  Waiting Period and
Exercise Dates.  At the time an
Option is granted, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions to be
satisfied before shares may be purchased, including the dates on which shares
subject to the Option may first be purchased. 
The Committee may specify than an Option may not be exercised until the
completion of a service period specified at the time of 

 

 

grant.  (Any such period is
referred to herein as the “waiting period.”) 
At the time an Option is granted, the Committee shall fix the period
within which the Option may be exercised, which shall not be earlier than the
end of the waiting period, if any.

 

(iii)                               Form of Payment.  The consideration to be paid for the shares
to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall
be determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of:

 

(1)                                  cash;

 

(2)                                  check;

 

(3)                                  other shares that
(a) in the case of shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and
(b) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender not greater than the
aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option shall be
exercised;

 

(4)                                  delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the
Committee and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of
the Option and delivery to SGI of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price;

 

(5)                                  any combination of
the foregoing methods of payment; or

 

(6)                                  such other
consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares to the extent
permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

(iv)                              Other Provisions.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
at the time of grant, each Option shall provide that in the event of a change
in control of the Company (as specified by the Committee), any Optionee’s
Options will become exercisable in full if, within twenty-four (24) months
after a change in control of the Company, the Optionee’s employment is
terminated without cause or the Optionee resigns due to certain involuntary
relocations or reductions in compensation, as specified by the Committee.  Each Option granted under the Plan may
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Committee.

 

(v)                                 Buyout Provisions.  The Committee may at any time offer to buy
out for a payment in cash, promissory note or shares, an Option previously
granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish
and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

 

 

(b)                                 Method of
Exercise.

 

(i)                                     Procedure for
Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. 
Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and
under such conditions as determined by the Committee and as shall be
permissible under the terms of the Plan.

 

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction
of a share.

 

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised
when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the
Option and full payment for the shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised has been received by the Company. 
Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee and permitted by the
Option Agreement, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable
under subsection 7(a)(iii) of the Plan. 
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the
stock certificate evidencing such shares, no right to vote or receive dividends
or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned
Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock
certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

 

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall
result in a decrease in the number of shares that thereafter shall be
available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the
number of shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(ii)                                  Termination of
Employment Relationship.  In the
event an Optionee ceases to be an Employee (other than as a result of the
Optionee’s death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option,
but only within such period of time from the date of such termination as is
determined by the Committee and, unless determined otherwise by the Committee,
only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). 
To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option at
the date of such termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

(iii)                               Disability of
Optionee.  In the event an Optionee
ceases to be an Employee as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option, but only within twelve (12) months from the
date of such termination, and, unless determined otherwise by the Committee,
only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option 

 

 

Agreement).  To the extent that
Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such
termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not exercise such Option
(to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.

 

(iv)                              Death of Optionee.  In the event of an Optionee’s death, the
Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the deceased
Optionee’s Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option, but only
within twelve (12) months following the date of death, and, unless determined
otherwise by the Committee, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to exercise it at the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled
to exercise an Option at the date of death, and to the extent that the Optionee’s
estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Stock Awards.  All or part of any Stock Award may be subject
to conditions and restrictions established by the Committee, and set forth in
the award agreement, which will include, but are not limited to, achievement of
specific business objectives and other measurements of individual, business
unit or Company performance measured over a period of not less than twelve (12)
months.

 

9.                                       Deferrals and Settlements.  Payment of awards may be in the form of cash,
Common Stock, other awards or combinations thereof as the Committee shall
determine, and with such restrictions as it may impose.  The Committee also may require or permit participants
to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash
under such rules and procedures as it may establish under the Plan.  The Committee may also provide that deferred
settlements include the payment or crediting of interest on the deferral
amounts.

 

10.                                 Tranferability
of Options and Rights.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee to the contrary, Options and Rights may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.  The Committee may, in the manner established
by the Committee, provide for the transfer, without payment of consideration,
of an Option or Right by the Optionee to the Optionee’s “immediate family”.  In such case, the Option or Right will be
exercisable only by such transferee. 
Following a transfer, any such Options or Rights shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to the transfer.  For purposes of this Section 10,
the Optionee’s “immediate family” shall include any child, stepchild,
grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling,
niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person
sharing the Optionee’s

 

 

household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these
persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation
in which these persons (or the Optionee) control the management of assets, and
any other entity in which these persons (or the Optionee) own more than fifty
percent of the voting interests.  A
transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property
rights is not a prohibited transfer for value.

 

11.                                 Adjustments
Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of
Control.

 

(a)                                  Changes in
Capitalization.  Subject to any
required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and Right, and the number of
shares of Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan
but as to which no Options or Rights have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Right, as
well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding
Option or Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease
in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares
of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company;
provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  Except as expressly provided
herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Right.

 

(b)                                 Dissolution or
Liquidation.  In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an
Option or Right has not been previously exercised, it will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.  The Committee may, in the exercise of its
sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option or Right shall
terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each Optionee the right
to exercise his or her Option or Right as to all or any part of the Optioned
Stock, including shares as to which the Option or Right would not otherwise be
exercisable.

 

(c)                                  Merger or Asset
Sale.  In the event of a merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all
of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Right shall be
assumed or an equivalent Option or Right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation
does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, the
Committee may, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the
Optionee to have the right to

 

 

exercise the Option or Right as to all or a portion of the Optioned
Stock, including shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable.  If the Committee makes an Option or Right
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or
sale of assets, the Committee shall notify the Optionee that the Option or
Right shall be exercisable for such period as the Committee may designate, and
the Option or Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the purposes of this Section 11(c),
the Option or Right shall be considered assumed if, immediately following the
merger or sale of assets, the Option or Right confers the right to receive, for
each share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Right immediately prior
to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (either stock, cash, or
other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in
the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor
corporation and the Optionee, provide for the consideration to be received upon
the exercise of the Option or Right, for each share of Optioned Stock subject
to the Option or Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation
or its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

 

12.                                 Date of
Grant.  The date of grant
of an Option or Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the
Committee makes the determination granting such Option or Right, or such other
later date as is determined by the Committee. 
Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

13.                                 Amendment
and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)                                  Amendment and
Termination.  The Board may at any
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b)                                 Effect of Amendment
or Termination.  No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of
any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Company, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

 

14.                                 Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)                                  Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or Right unless the exercise of such Option or Right and
the issuance and delivery of such shares shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
Applicable Laws, and the

 

 

requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the
shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

(b)                                 Investment
Representations.  As a condition to
the exercise of an Option or Right, the Company may require the person
exercising such Option or Right to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

15.                                 Liability
of Company.  The inability
of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

16.                                 Reservation
of Shares.  The Company,
during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such
number of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan.

the terms, definitions and provisions of the Amended and Restated 1996
Supplemental Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by SGI
which is incorporated herein by reference. 
The terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings
herein.

 

By accepting the NOTICE, Optionee
acknowledges responsibility of reviewing the terms of the Plan and the related prospectus,
copies of which are included in this Option grant package and also available at
http://www-finance.corp.sgi.com/stock or upon request from Employee Stock
Services (MS-645 or stock_support@sgi.com). Optionee further represents that he
or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts
this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  Optionee further agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions
arising under the Plan.

 

1.                                       Nature of the
Option.  This Option is a
non-statutory option and is not intended to qualify for any special tax
benefits to the Optionee.

 

2.                                       Exercise
Price.  The exercise price for each
Share of Common Stock is as set forth in the attached NOTICE.

 

3.                                       Exercise of
Option.  This Option shall be
exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions of Section 7
of the Plan as follows:

 

(a)                                  Right to Exercise.

 

(i)                                     Subject to subsection 3(a) (ii) and (iii),
below, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of six and one-quarter
percent (6.25%) of the Shares subject to the Option every three months on each
quarterly anniversary of the date of grant as set forth in the attached NOTICE.

 

(ii)                                  This Option may not
be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

 

(iii)                               In the event of Optionee’s
death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the
Option is governed by Sections 7, 8, and 9 below.

 

(b)                                 Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by written
notice signed by the Optionee and delivered to SGI’s Employee Stock Services
group or by using the electronic methods approved from time to time by Employee
Stock Services (currently www.optionslink.com). 
If an electronic exercise method is not chosen, such notice shall be in
the form of Exhibit A (Stock Exercise Request) found at the Employee
Stock Services’ website or upon request. 
The exercise notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise
price.  The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by SGI of such written notice accompanied by the
exercise price.

 

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with
all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon
which the Shares may then be listed. 
Assuming such compliance, the Shares shall be considered transferred to
the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such
Shares.

 

4.                                       Optionee’s
Representations.  In the event the
Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of this Option have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this
Option is exercised, Optionee shall, concurrently with the exercise of all or
any portion of this Option, deliver to SGI his or her Investment Representation
Statement in the form of Exhibit B, (available in Employee Stock
Services) and shall read the applicable rules of the Commissioner of
Corporations attached to such Investment Representation Statement.

 

5.                                       Method of

price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the
election of the Optionee:

 

(i)                                     cash; or

 

(ii)                                  check; or

 

(iii)                               surrender of other
Shares of Common Stock of SGI of a value equal to the exercise price of the
shares as to which the Option is being exercised which, in the case of shares
acquired previously upon exercise of an option have been owned by the Optionee
for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender; or

 

(iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise
notice together with such other documentation as SGI and the broker, if
applicable, shall require to effect a cashless exercise of the Option and
delivery to SGI of the sale proceeds required to pay the exercise price.

 

2

 

6.                                       Restrictions
on Exercise.  This Option may not be
exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of
payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any
applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including
any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“Regulation
G”) as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.  As a condition to the exercise of this
Option, SGI may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to SGI
as may be required by any Applicable Law or regulation.

 

7.                                       Termination
of Status as an Employee.  If
Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee, he or she may, but only within three
(3) months after the date he or she ceases to be an Employee of the Company,
exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination.  To the
extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of
such termination, or if he or she does not exercise this Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Disability of
Optionee.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7 above, if Optionee is unable to continue his or
her employment relationship with the Company as a result of his or her
Disability, the Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date
of such termination, exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was entitled
to exercise the Option at the date of such termination.  To the extent that he or she was not entitled
to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not
exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

9.                                       Death of
Optionee.  In the event of the death
of Optionee during the term of this Option, the Option may be exercised, at any
time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by Optionee’s
estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had
accrued as of the date of death.

 

10.                                 Transferability of
Option.  Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee to the contrary, this Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. 
The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

11.                                 Term of Option.  This Option may not be exercised more than
seven (7) years from the date of grant of this Option, and may be exercised
during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

 

12.                                 Taxation Upon
Exercise of Option.  Optionee
understands that, upon exercise of this Option, he will recognize income for
tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value of
the shares over the exercise price.  The

 

3

 

Company will be required to withhold tax from Optionee’s current
compensation with respect to such income; to the extent that Optionee’s current
compensation is insufficient to satisfy the withholding tax liability, the
Company may require the Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability
as a condition of exercise of this Option. 
Upon a resale of such shares by the Optionee, any difference between the
sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of
the Option will be treated as capital gain or loss.

 

13.                                 Acceleration Upon
Change of Control.  Notwithstanding
provisions of Section 3(a) with respect to Option exercisability, in the
event of a Change of Control of SGI, this Option shall automatically become
exercisable in full if, within twenty-four (24) months after a Change of
Control Date, (i) the Optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company or
any successor company (hereinafter, the “Employer”) without Cause or (ii) the
Optionee voluntarily resigns from the Employer for Good Reason.

 

14.                                 Definitions.  For purposes of Section 13, the terms “Cause,”
“Change of Control,” “Change of Control Date,” and “Good Reason” shall have the
meanings set out below:

 

(a)                                  “Cause” means the
termination of employment of an Optionee shall have taken place as a result of:

 

(i)                                     an act or acts of
dishonesty undertaken by such Optionee and intended to result in gain or
personal enrichment of the Optionee, or

 

(ii)                                  persistent failure to
perform the duties and obligations of such Optionee which is not remedied in a
reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Employer, or

confidentiality or proprietary information obligations to or agreements entered

SGI means:

 

(i)                                     the acquisition by

Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as Beneficial Owner (as such term is
used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange

 

4

 

Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
combined voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SGI’s then
outstanding securities with respect to the election of the directors of the
Board.

 

(ii)                                  During any period of
three (3) consecutive years individuals who, at the beginning of such period,
constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a Director
of the Board subsequent to the date of the NOTICE whose election, or nomination
for election by SGI’s shareholders, was approved by the vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an
election or nomination of any individual whose initial assumption of office is
in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
election of the directors of the Board, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11

Employer requires the Optionee to change the location of his or her job or
office, so that he or she will be based at a location more then fifty (50) miles
from the location of his or her job or office immediately prior to the Change

Price.  The exercise price for each

3.                                       Exercise of

below, this Option shall be exercisable, cumulatively, to the extent of

(ii)                                  This Option may not
be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

 

(iii)                               In the event of Optionee’s
death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the
Option is governed by Sections 7, 8, and 9 below.

 

(b)                                 Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by written
notice signed by the Optionee and delivered to SGI’s Employee Stock Services
group or by using the electronic methods approved from time to time by Employee
Stock Services (currently www.optionslink.com). 
If an electronic exercise method is not chosen, such notice shall be in
the form of Exhibit A (Stock Exercise Request) found at the Employee
Stock Services’ website or upon request. 
The exercise notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise
price.  The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by SGI of such written notice accompanied by the
exercise price.

 

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with
all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon
which the Shares may then be listed. 
Assuming such compliance, the Shares shall be considered transferred to
the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such
Shares.

 

4.                                       Optionee’s
Representations.  In the event the
shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of this Option have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this
Option is exercised, Optionee shall, concurrently with the exercise of all or
any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment
Representation Statement in the form of Exhibit B, (available in Employee Stock
Services) and shall read the applicable rules of the Commissioner of
Corporations attached to such Investment Representation Statement.

 

5.                                       Method of Payment.  Payment of the exercise price shall be by any

Shares of Common Stock of SGI of a value equal to the exercise price of the
shares as to which the Option is being exercised which, in the case of shares
acquired previously upon exercise of an option have been owned by the Optionee
for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender; or

 

(iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise
notice together with such other documentation as SGI and the broker, if

6.                                       Restrictions
on Exercise.  This Option may not be
exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of
payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any
applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including
any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“Regulation
G”) as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.  As a condition to the exercise of this
Option, SGI may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to SGI
as may be required by any Applicable Law or regulation.

 

7.                                       Termination
of Status as an Employee.  If
Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee, he or she may, but only within three
(3) months after the date he or she ceases to be an Employee of the Company,
exercise this Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination.  To the
extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of such
termination, or if he or she does not exercise this Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Disability of
Optionee.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7 above, if Optionee is unable to continue his or
her employment relationship with the Company as a result of his or her
Disability, the Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date
of such termination, exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination.  To the extent that he or she was not entitled
to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not
exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

 

9.                                       Death of
Optionee.  In the event of the death
of Optionee during the term of this Option, the Option may be exercised, at any
time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by Optionee’s
estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had
accrued as of the date of death.

 

10.                                 Transferability of
Option.  Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee to the contrary, this Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. 
The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

11.                                 Term of Option.  This Option may not be exercised more than
seven (7) years from the date of grant of this Option, and may be exercised
during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

 

12.                                 Taxation Upon
Exercise of Option.  Optionee
understands that, upon exercise of this Option, he will recognize income for
tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value of
the shares over the exercise price.  The

 

3

 

Company will be required to withhold tax from Optionee’s current
compensation with respect to such income; to the extent that Optionee’s current
compensation is insufficient to satisfy the withholding tax liability, the
Company may require the Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability
as a condition of exercise of this Option. 
Upon a resale of such shares by the Optionee, any difference between the
sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of
the Option will be treated as capital gain or loss.

 

13.                                 Acceleration Upon
Change of Control.  Notwithstanding
provisions of Section 3(a) with respect to Option exercisability, in the
event of a Change of Control of SGI, this Option shall automatically become
exercisable in full if, within twenty-four (24) months after a Change of
Control Date, (i) the Optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company or
any successor company (hereinafter, the “Employer”) without Cause or (ii) the
Optionee voluntarily resigns from the Employer for Good Reason.
