Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a five-year employment agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Dr. Warren Pratt. Under the Letter Agreement, as amended as of April 2001, the Company committed to extend credit of $5 million to Dr. Pratt in installments, subject to his continued employment with the Company. This loan matured in accordance with its terms on May 15, 2005 (the “Measurement Date”). The terms of the loan provided for Dr. Pratt to repay the loan in an amount equal to the value of his vested stock options and restricted stock held or sold from May 2000 through the Measurement Date, with the remaining balance to be forgiven. In accordance with the Letter Agreement, on May 16, 2005, Dr. Pratt repaid $120,008 of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, an amount equal to the market value of his vested options and restricted stock at the Measurement Date, and the remaining amount of the loan was forgiven. Dr. Pratt is responsible for any income taxes resulting from the forgiveness of the remaining amount of the loan pursuant to its terms. The expense associated with the forgiveness of the loan has already been reflected in the Company’s financial statements. In connection with the settlement of the loan, Dr. Pratt entered into a Release Agreement with the Company, dated May 16, 2005, pursuant to which Dr. Pratt released the Company and its officers, directors and affiliates from all claims and liabilities that might otherwise arise from or be asserted with respect to his employment at SGI. The description of the Release Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Release Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
