NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The principal business of Silicon Graphics International Corp. ("SGI" or the "Company") is the design, manufacture and implementation of highly scalable compute servers, high-capacity storage systems and high-end computing and data management systems. The Company has significant global presence providing products and services either directly or through its distributors and channel partners.

The Company's headquarters is located in Fremont, California and its primary manufacturing facility is located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

2. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 10, 2012.
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fiscal Year. The Company has a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in June. The current fiscal year 2013 will be comprised of 52 weeks and will end on June 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 was comprised of 53 weeks and ended on June 29, 2012. When a 53-week year occurs, the Company includes the additional week in the first fiscal quarter. The Company's fiscal quarters generally have 13 weeks ending on the last Friday of the respective period. Accordingly, the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 ended September 30, 2011 was comprised of 14 weeks, while the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 ended September 28, 2012 was comprised of 13 weeks.
In fiscal year 2012, the Company's fiscal quarters ended on September 30, 2011 (first quarter), December 30, 2011 (second quarter), March 30, 2012 (third quarter) and June 29, 2012 (fourth quarter).
In fiscal year 2013, the Company's fiscal quarters end on September 28, 2012 (first quarter), December 28, 2012 (second quarter), March 29, 2013 (third quarter) and June 28, 2013 (fourth quarter).
Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the three months ended March 29, 2013 as compared to those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
Comprehensive income. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but

Table of Contents

(UNAUDITED)

consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. This requirement should be applied retrospectively and is effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the FASB issued the guidance for reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The revised guidance requires reporting the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about these amounts. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, at which time the Company will include the required disclosures. We do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements due to the adoption of this guidance.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables present the Company's assets (in thousands) that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis which include total cash equivalent as well as the fair value of plan assets for the employee retirement benefit plan. See Note 16 for more information regarding the employee retirement benefit plan.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012. The Company’s cash equivalents, consisting of U.S. treasuries and money market funds, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they were valued using quoted market prices of the identical underlying securities in active markets.
Level 2 assets include investments that are pooled with other investment held by insurance companies within that general funds for our pension plans. The investments held by the insurance companies are valued by taking the percentage owned by the plan in the underlying net asset value of the insurance company's general fund.

12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY
On March 16, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring action to streamline operations and decrease operating expense, reducing approximately 25% of the Company's European workforce and closing certain legal entities and offices in Europe.
In connection with the restructuring action, the Company expects to incur pre-tax cash charges (including charges recorded in fiscal 2012) between $14.0 million and $17.0 million, which consist of pre-tax cash charges between $13.0 million and $16.0 million for employee termination benefits, and up to $1.0 million for the planned office and legal entity closures, which expenses include contract termination costs and other associated costs. The Company expects to recognize the majority

of the expense associated with the employee termination benefits during fiscal 2013. Total expense incurred in connection with this restructuring plan for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 was $0.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
The restructuring expense is included in operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total restructuring liability was $1.3 million as of March 29, 2013, all of which is classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

13. CREDIT FACILITY
On December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million. The availability under the credit facility is limited to a borrowing base, subject to meeting certain conditions set forth in the credit facility. The credit facility includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the revolver amount in the first 18 months. The Company exercised this feature, and on May 1, 2012, the revolver amount was increased by $5.0 million to an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million. On February 25, 2013, the Company amended the agreement and reduced the revolver amount by $15.0 million from an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million to $25.0 million. The credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility. See Note 20 "Commitments and Contingencies" for more information regarding the letter of credit.
The availability of the aggregate principal amount under the credit facility will fluctuate, generally monthly, based on eligible domestic accounts receivable and inventory due to a variety of factors including the Company's overall mix of sales and resulting accounts receivable with international and domestic customers, United States governmental agencies and a few individual customer accounts which may result in high concentrations of accounts receivable as compared to the overall level of the Company's accounts receivable. The credit facility contains financial covenants including, under certain conditions, maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as other non-financial covenants, including restrictions on declaring and paying dividends, and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The credit facility terminates on December 5, 2016. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on a rate of the Company's choice equal to either: 1) the LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50 percent per annum or 2) the base rate plus a margin of 1.75 percent per annum. The base rate is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50 percent, (b) the LIBOR rate plus 1.00 percent or (c) the prime rate of the financial institution. The LIBOR rate and the base rate are determined at the specified date preceding or at the time of the borrowing in accordance with the terms of the credit facility. In addition, unused line fees are payable on the credit facility at rates of 0.40 percent per annum.
In December 2012, the Company made a $15.7 million payment to pay off the outstanding balance on the credit facility, which included $0.4 million of accrued interest. Accordingly, as of March 29, 2013, the Company had no outstanding balance owed on the credit facility. As of March 29, 2013, the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the credit facility was approximately $23.0 million which takes into account a $2.0 million outstanding letter of credit to back the Company's obligation to pay for goods or services to a supplier. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 29, 2013.

In August 2012, the Company granted time-based RSUs ("executive time-based RSUs") and performance-based RSUs (“executive PSUs”) to members of the Company's executive management team.  The executive time-based RSUs vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and an additional 6.25% vesting quarterly thereafter, subject to the recipient's continuous service through each vesting date. The executive PSUs are eligible to vest upon the achievement of certain financial performance criteria for the Company for fiscal 2013.  If the performance criteria are not met, none of the executive PSUs will vest and will be forfeited.  If the performance criteria are met, 25% of the executive PSUs would vest following the Company's public announcement of financial results for fiscal 2013 and the remaining 75% of the executive PSUs would vest in three annual installments thereafter, subject to the recipient's continued service through each vesting date.  For purposes of reporting and determining the share-based compensation expense, the company estimated that 298,000 PSUs will be awarded as of March 29, 2013.  The Company assesses the achievement of these performance metrics on a quarterly basis. 
As of March 29, 2013, there was $8.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.74 years.

RSUs are converted into common stock upon vesting. Upon the vesting of RSUs, the Company generally withholds a portion of the shares to cover applicable taxes and decreases the shares issued to the employee by a corresponding value. The withholding tax obligations are based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. The number and the value of the shares withheld for tax purposes are summarized in the table below (in thousands except share amounts):

15. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On January 11, 2013, the Company's board of directors approved a plan for the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock with a market value of up to $15.0 million. The Company's common stock may be repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions, including 10b5-1 trading plans that would enable the company to repurchase its shares during periods outside of its normal trading windows.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing unaudited consolidated net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing consolidated net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and RSUs is reflected in diluted net income per share, but not diluted loss per share, by application of the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of share-based compensation required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012 (in thousands, except per share amount):

In October 2011, SGI Japan, Ltd ("SGI Japan"), its employees, and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare approved an action to change SGI Japan's retirement benefit plan effective October 1, 2011 in accordance with the Defined Benefit Corporate Pension Law and Defined Contribution Corporate Pension Law of 2001 (the "Acts"). SGI Japan shifted a portion of its defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan and modified the terms of its defined benefit plan in accordance with the Acts. The change in the retirement benefit plan reduced SGI Japan's retirement benefit obligation and resulted in a gain from curtailment of $1.3 million and a loss from settlement of $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2012.

18. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $8.1 million and $11.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively. The tax benefit primarily was comprised of the reversal of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits in Canada and Israel, and a refund of provincial taxes in Canada, partially offset by tax liability computed based on the Company’s projected foreign financial results for the year ending June 28, 2013, state taxes, and tax and interest for unrecognized tax benefits. The reversal of the unrecognized tax benefits in Canada and the recording of a provincial refund due to the Company was the result of the conclusion of an income tax audit for fiscal years 1996 to 2004 by the Canada Revenue Agency. The Company also recorded a tax benefit for the abatement of interest granted by the Canada Revenue Agency. The effective tax rate differed from the combined federal and net state statutory income tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 primarily due to the tax rate differential of the Company's foreign operations, utilization of net operating losses, audit settlements and reversals of previously accrued taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
The Company recorded a tax expense of $0.5 million and a tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012, respectively. The net tax benefit was primarily comprised of tax liability computed based on the Company's foreign projected financial results for the year ending June 29, 2012 offset by the reversals of unrecognized tax benefits including related interest. The effective tax rate differed from the combined federal and net state statutory income tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012 primarily due to tax expense incurred by the Company's foreign subsidiaries with operating income, offset by the release of the unrecognized tax benefits due to lapse of statute of limitations, benefits from reversals of previously accrued taxes in foreign jurisdictions and benefit from utilization of net operating losses not previously recognized.
As of March 29, 2013, the Company has provided a partial valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company had approximately $4.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefit as of March 29, 2013, of which $2.6 million will impact the effective tax rate when recognized. The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. As of March 29, 2013, the Company also had approximately $8.6 million of interest and penalties attributable to the gross unrecognized tax benefits.
The income tax audit of fiscal years 1996 to 2004 by the Canadian tax authorities was concluded during the quarter ended March 29, 2013. The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $8.4 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, comprised primarily of the abatement of interest granted by the Canada Revenue Agency, the reversal of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits, and a provincial refund due to the Company as a result of the conclusion of the audit. It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve month period, the Company may experience an increase or a decrease in other unrecognized tax benefits.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company manages its business primarily on a geographical basis. Accordingly, the Company determined its operating and reporting segments, which are generally based on the location of its sales and service employees generating revenue, to be the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific operations. The Americas segment includes both North and South America. The Europe segment ("EMEA") includes European countries, as well as the Middle East and Africa. The Asia-Pacific segment ("APJ") includes Australia, Japan, and all other Asian countries.
The Company's operating segments are determined based upon several criteria including: the Company's internal organizational structure; the manner in which the Company's operations are managed; the criteria used by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), to evaluate segment performance; and the availability of separate financial information. The accounting policies of the various segments are the same as those described in Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of this Form 10-Q and in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's fiscal year 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company's CODM evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenue and operating profit (loss). Revenues are generally based on the location of its sales and service employees generating revenues. Operating profit (loss) for each segment includes related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. A significant portion of the segments’ expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that the Company has historically provided to the segments in order to realize economies of scale and to efficiently use resources. These expenses, collectively called corporate charges, include costs of centralized research and development, legal, accounting, information technology services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses. These corporate charges are allocated to the segments and are reassessed on an annual basis. The allocations have been determined on a basis that the Company considers to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the segments. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.

The Company derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The presentation of our revenue for segment information purposes differs from the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The segment information is presented on the basis which the Company's CODM evaluates the performance of its operating segments. The combined product and service revenue is allocated to product and service revenue on a contractual basis for segment information purposes.
The Company's assets are located primarily in the United States and are not allocated to any specific region. The Company does not measure the performance of its geographic regions on any asset-based metrics. Therefore, geographic information is presented only for revenue and operating profit (loss).
Customer information
For the three months ended March 29, 2013, two customers from the Americas segment each accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's revenue and various agencies of the United States government, excluding system integrators (collectively, U.S. government), accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's revenue. For the three months ended March 30, 2012, two customer from the Americas segment each accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's revenue.
For the nine months ended March 29, 2013, one customer from the Americas segment accounted for approximately 16% of the Company's revenue and various agencies of the U.S. government, excluding system integrators, accounted for

(UNAUDITED)

approximately 18% of the Company's revenue. For the nine months ended March 30, 2012, one customer from the Americas segment accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's revenue.
At March 29, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 15% of the Company's accounts receivable. At June 29, 2012, one customer accounted for approximately 28% of the Company's accounts receivable.
Geographic Information
International sales to Japan and France both accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, were $66.7 million or 29% for the three months ended March 29, 2013. For the nine months ended March 29, 2013, our international sales to Japan, the only single foreign country which accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, were $83.7 million or 14% of revenues. For the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012, our international sales to Japan, the only single foreign country which accounted for ten percent or more of revenues, were $35.7 million or 18%, and $111.0 million or 19% of revenues, respectively. No other individual foreign country's revenue accounted for 10% or more of revenues in the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012.

20. FINANCIAL GUARANTEES
The Company has issued financial guarantees to cover rent on leased facilities and equipment, to government authorities for value-added tax and other taxes and to various other parties to support payments in advance of future delivery on goods and services. The majority of the Company's financial guarantees have terms of one year or more. The maximum potential obligation under financial guarantees at March 29, 2013 was $3.8 million for which the Company has $3.6 million of assets held as collateral. The full amount of the assets held as collateral are included in short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.


21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letter of Credit
The Company's credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility. As of March 29, 2013, the Company has $2.0 million of outstanding letter of credit to back the Company's obligation to pay or perform when required to do so pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods or services to a supplier. See Note 13 for more information regarding the credit facility.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that the Company's product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriates a trade secret, of that third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of the available remedies in a variety of industry-standard methods, including, but not limited to, product usage and geography-based limitations, a right to control the defense or settlement of any claim, and a right to replace or modify the infringing products to make them non-infringing. The Company has not incurred significant expenses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims for such indemnifications were outstanding as of March 29, 2013. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements, if any, to be immaterial; accordingly, no liability has been recorded with respect to such indemnifications as of March 29, 2013.
Contingencies
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the normal course of business. These matters include product liability actions, patent infringement actions, contract disputes, domestic and international federal, state and local tax reviews and audits, and other matters. The Company also may be subject to litigation and/or adverse rulings or judgments as a result of certain contractual indemnification obligations. The Company records a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

(UNAUDITED)

Third parties in the past have asserted, and may in the future assert, intellectual property infringement claims against the Company, and such future claims, if proven, could require the Company to pay substantial damages or to redesign its existing products or pay fees to obtain cross-license agreements. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend the Company's intellectual property rights, to protect the Company's trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of its proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either of which could harm the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Further, many of the Company's current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforcing and defending their intellectual property rights than the Company.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company receives inquiries from regulatory agencies informally requesting information or documentation. There can be no assurance in any given case that such informal review will not lead to further proceedings involving the Company in the future.
The Company is not aware of any pending disputes, including those outlined above, that would be likely to have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and costs and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include the payment of monetary damages, cash or other settlement, or an injunction prohibiting it from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the period in which the resolution occurs or on future periods.
Other Commitments
For a description of significant leases and purchase commitments see Note 24 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 10, 2012.

Second, we are investing and aligning with key partners in order to provide our customers with integrated solutions in Big Data, storage and scale-up computing. Third, management is focusing on initiatives to improve our operational performance and cost structure. We have ongoing efforts to reduce material and other manufacturing costs. We believe that this strategic plan will help create a strong foundation for our business results in the long-term.
Our revenue mix by geography shows that we continue to have strong international presence with 41.4% and 39.6% of total revenue from sales outside of the U.S. in the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively. In addition, our customer base continues to expand in various sectors, including the public, cloud and manufacturing sectors.

Results of Operations
Summarized below are the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012.
Financial Highlights
Our total revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2013 was $232.6 million, an increase of $33.2 million or 16.6%, from the comparable period in fiscal year 2012. In addition, revenue increased $23.2 million or 4.0% to $596.7 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $573.5 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The increase was due primarily as a result of increased product sales n our product sales in our EMEA and Americas segments, where we recognized a number of significant large deals during the quarter. This was slightly offset by decreased service revenue in our EMEA and APJ geographic segments.
Our overall gross margin decreased by 3.2 percentage points from 25.8% in the three months ended March 30, 2012 to 22.6% in the three months ended March 29, 2013. The unfavorable change in the overall gross margin in the three months ended March 29, 2013 was due to unfavorable margins resulting from two significant low margin deals recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Our overall gross margin decreased by 3.5 percentage points from 27.3% in the nine months ended March 30, 2012 to 23.8% in the nine months ended March 29, 2013. The decrease for the nine months ended March 29, 2013 was also a result of the low margin deals previously discussed as well as a number of similar deals recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in Japan and EMEA. In addition, we also experienced higher excess and obsolete inventory charges during the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Our service margins declined by 6.5 percentage points and 5.2 percentage points for both the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively, largely as a result of lower support services revenue as our new products replace our installed base of older generation products which had higher margin support contracts. Typically our service revenue is recognized ratably over the respective service periods.
Our research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses were $50.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 compared to $53.0 million in the prior year comparable quarter. Our research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses was $145.6 million for nine months ended March 29, 2013, a decrease of $16.4 million compared to $162.0 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2012. A primary driver of this decline was the decrease in compensation and related expenses due to reductions in headcount. Total headcount as of March 29, 2013 was 1,437, which reflects a reduction of 125 employees from 1,562 as of March 30, 2012 due to restructuring actions in fiscal 2012 and 2011 attrition. The savings from the headcount reductions more than offset the increases in salaries and wages due to merit increases. We have also been controlling our costs across all functions in order to streamline our operations and reduce operating expenses and have also benefited from lower charges for the amortization of intangible assets as these assets are nearing full amortization.

We incurred restructuring expense of $0.7 million and $5.1 million in the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively, as part of the fiscal 2012 restructuring action primarily focused on cost reductions in Europe.
We recognized net income for the three months ended March 29, 2013 of $9.2 million compared to net loss of $1.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the nine months ended March 29, 2013 was $1.6 million, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The $10.4 million increase in our net income for the three months ended March 29, 2013 compared to the comparable quarter last year was mainly driven by the income tax benefit recorded as a result of reversals of unrecognized tax benefits as well as our decreased cost structure. This was partially offset by two significant low margin deals that were recognized during the quarter. The $7.7 million increase in net income from the nine months ended March 30, 2012 was mainly driven by income tax benefit recorded as a result of unrecognized tax benefits, the decrease in our total operating expenses, which was partially offset by low margin deals that were recognized during the first and third quarters of fiscal 2013.
We are continuing to streamline our operations and have tight controls over our spending in order to help achieve our long-term operating target goals.
Revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin
Our revenue mix by geography shows that we continue to have a strong international presence with 41.4% and 39.6% of total revenue attributed to international sales in the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively. In addition, our customer base continues to expand in various sectors, including the public, cloud and manufacturing sectors.

Revenue. We derive revenue from the sale of products and services directly to end-users as well as through resellers and system integrators. Product revenue is derived from the sale of mid-range to high-end computing servers and data storage systems as well as software. We enter into sales contracts to deliver multiple products and/or services. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, certain sales contracts are deferred and recognized over the service period. Service revenue is generated from the sale of standard maintenance contracts as well as custom maintenance contracts that are tailored to individual customers' needs. We recognize service revenue ratably over the service periods. Maintenance contracts are typically between one to three years in length and we actively pursue renewals of these contracts. We also generate professional services revenue related to implementation of and training on our products.
We continuously make revisions to our product offerings and improvements of our product's performance and data storage capacity. Accordingly, we are unable to directly compare our products from period to period, and are therefore unable

to quantify the changes in pricing of our products from period to period. We believe that our on-going revisions to product offerings and product feature improvements help mitigate competitive pricing pressures by shifting the competitive landscape to differentiated value rather than price.
Segment Operating Performance
Americas
Revenue from our Americas segment increased $13.9 million or 10.8% to $142.2 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $128.3 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. The increase in Americas revenue was driven by higher product revenue as well as an increase in service revenue. Product revenue increased by $11.8 million primarily due to the strength in sales of our scale-out compute solutions, software and third party products. This increase in product revenue was partially offset by a decrease in sales of our scale-up solutions. We also experienced an increase in service revenue of $2.1 million primarily as a result of the sale of standard maintenance contracts as well as custom maintenance contracts that are associated with our customers using new products or replacing their existing installed base of older generation products. The increase in service revenue is primarily due to timing of when services were performed on consulting and product integration services. Our service revenue is typically recognized ratably over the respective service periods. The Americas segment represented 61.1% and 64.4% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The Americas segment represented a lower portion of total revenue during the three months ended March 29, 2013, primarily due to the significant increase in the EMEA segment.
Revenue from our Americas segment increased $27.5 million or 7.9% to $378.0 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $350.4 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The increase in Americas revenue was driven primarily by higher product revenue as well as a decrease in service revenue of $0.1 million. Product revenue increased by $27.6 million primarily due to the strength in sales of our scale-out compute solutions, software and third party products. This increase in product revenue was partially offset by a decrease in sales of our scale-up compute and storage solutions. Our service revenue was $65.3 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013, or about flat compared to comparable quarter last year. Service revenue will typically fluctuate due to timing of when services were performed on consulting and product integration services. Our service revenue is typically recognized ratably over the respective service periods. The Americas segment represented 63.3% and 61.1% of the total revenue in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

APJ
Revenue from our APJ segment decreased $8.3 million or 18.7% to $36.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $44.7 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. The revenue decline in APJ is primarily driven by lower product revenue for our scale-up and scale-out solutions and our third party products which was driven primarily in Japan. Our revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2013 is comprised of $19.9 million from product sales and $16.5 million from services compared to product and service revenue of $25.3 million and $19.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in service revenue is primarily due to timing of when services were performed on consulting and product integration services as our new products replace our installed base of older generation products. During the three months ended March 30, 2012, we generated a large portion of revenue in Japan for professional services to assist our customers with the implementation of and training of new products. These types of services are typically non-recurring in nature as customers become more accustomed to our next generation products. We are also experiencing a slight deterioration in customer service contracts as existing maintenance contracts are lapsing at a faster rate than we are able to renew or enter into new contracts. The APJ segment represented 15.6% and 22.4% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.
Revenue from our APJ segment decreased $33.2 million or 23.4% to $108.5 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $141.6 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The revenue decline in APJ is primarily driven by lower product revenue for our scale-up and software solutions as well as third party products, partially offset by higher revenue generated in our scale-out solutions. Our revenue for the nine months ended March 29, 2013 is comprised of $59.3 million from product sales and $49.2 million from services compared to product and service revenue of $81.1 million and $60.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in service revenue is attributable to the timing of professional services provided as well as a slight deterioration in customer service maintenance contracts as discussed above. The APJ segment represented 18.2% and 24.7% of the total revenue in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

EMEA
Revenue from our EMEA segment increased $27.7 million or 104.7% to $54.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $26.4 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. The increase in product revenue of $30.5 million is primarily driven by higher product revenue for our scale-out products as well as increases in our storage and scale-up solutions. This was offset by a slight decrease in service revenue of $2.9 million. The decrease in service revenue is attributable to the timing of professional services provided. We are also experiencing a slight deterioration in our customer service maintenance contracts as existing maintenance contracts are lapsing at a faster rate than we are able to renew or enter into new contracts. These types of services are typically non-recurring in nature as customers become more accustomed to our next generation products. The EMEA segment represented 23.2% and 13.2% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.
Revenue from our EMEA segment increased $28.8 million or 35.4% to $110.3 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $81.4 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The increase in revenue is primarily driven by higher products revenue for scale out products of $30.5 million as well as our storage solutions. This was offset by a decrease in service revenue of $4.7 million. The decrease in service revenue is attributable to the timing of professional services provided as well as a slight deterioration in customer service maintenance contracts as discussed above. The EMEA segment represented 18.5% of the total revenue in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 and 14.2% in the nine months ended March 30, 2012, respectively.

Cost of revenue consists of costs associated with direct material, labor, manufacturing overhead, shipment of products, inventory write downs and share-based compensation. Cost of revenue also includes personnel costs for providing maintenance and professional services. Our manufacturing overhead and professional services personnel costs are fixed or semi-variable. Our gross margins are impacted by changes in customer and product mix, pricing actions by our competitors and commodity prices that comprise a significant portion of cost of revenue from period to period. In addition, when certain sales contracts are deferred in accordance with our revenue recognition policy, the related cost of revenue is deferred and recognized upon recognition of revenue.
Our cost of revenue and gross profit are impacted by price changes, product configuration, revenue mix and product material costs. Our service cost of revenue and gross margin are impacted by timing of support service initiations and renewals, and incremental investments in our customer support infrastructure.
Overall gross profit increased by $1.0 million to $52.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $51.5 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in revenue volume in the Americas segment. However, our overall gross margin decreased to 22.6% in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from 25.8% in the three months ended March 30, 2012. Our gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the low margin deals that occurred in the

third quarter of fiscal 2013 in EMEA and Americas, impacting both our product and service margins. We also recorded higher excess and obsolete inventory charges during the three months ended March 29, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2012 which also contributed to the lower gross margin.
Overall gross profit decreased by $14.1 million to $142.3 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $156.3 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. Overall gross margin decreased to 23.8% in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from 27.3% in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. Our gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the low margin deals described above as well as certain low margin deals that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in Japan and EMEA. We also recorded higher excess and obsolete inventory charges during the nine months ended March 29, 2013 compared to the nine months ended March 30, 2012 which also contributed to the lower gross margin.

Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and related costs, contractor fees, new component testing and evaluation, test equipment, new product design and testing, other product development activities, share-based compensation, and facilities and information technology costs.
Research and development expense increased $0.5 million or 3.6% to $15.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $15.0 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. The slight increase in research and development expense is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense as well as a slight increase in compensation and related expenses as we continue to invest in our research and development programs.
Research and development expense decreased $2.4 million or 5.1% to $45.0 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $47.4 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to a reduction in third party provider and non-recurring engineering costs of approximately $1.1 million and equipment and materials of $1.2 million as we were ramping up for new product introductions in fiscal 2012.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and commissions paid to our sales and marketing employees, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, and facilities and information technology costs. We also incur marketing expenses for activities such as trade shows, direct mail and advertising.
Sales and marketing expense decreased $2.0 million or 9.2% to $19.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $21.8 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our compensation and related expenses as a result of decreased headcount as well as lower commissions and bonus expense reflecting lower than expected achievement of sales commission targets and performance metrics compared to last year.
Sales and marketing expense decreased $7.7 million or 11.5% to $59.1 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $66.7 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. This reduction was primarily due to a decrease in our compensation and related expenses as a result of lower headcount as well as lower commissions and bonus expense reflecting lower achievement of sales commission targets and performance metrics. For the nine months ended March 29, 2013, we reduced our recruiting and marketing expenses by $0.2 million primarily due to cost control measures. In addition, we also benefited from a decrease in intangible amortization expense of $0.6 million as some of our intangible assets became fully amortized, resulting in lower intangible amortization expense.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, legal and professional service costs, depreciation, bad debt expense, share-based compensation, and facilities and information technology costs.
General and administrative expense decreased $1.3 million or 7.7% to $14.9 million in the three months ended March 29, 2013 from $16.2 million in the three months ended March 30, 2012. For the three months ended March 29, 2013, we reduced our professional fees, including legal related expenses and other third party consulting fees by approximately $0.6 million, primarily due to cost control measures. We have also benefited from lower compensation and related benefits as a result of the reduction of headcount and a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $0.9 million. Total share based compensation expense for the three months ended March 30, 2012 included a $1.3 million impact for the modification of certain terms of vested options held by the former Chief Executive Officer. This was partially offset by a net increase in bad debts of $0.3 million.
General and administrative expense decreased $6.4 million or 13.3% to $41.5 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013 from $47.9 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012. For the nine months ended March 29, 2013, we have reduced our professional fees, including legal related expenses and other third party consulting fees by approximately $1.6 million and recruiting fees by approximately $1.1 million, primarily due to cost control measures. We have also benefited from lower compensation and related benefits as a result of the reduction of headcount, a gain on the sale of assets of $0.4 million, as well as a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million due to a stock modification discussed above. This was partially offset by a net increase in bad debts of $0.3 million and higher bonus expense reflecting achievement of performance metrics compared to last year.
Restructuring. Total restructuring expense related to our restructuring action in fiscal 2012 was approximately $0.7 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively and was $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012 in fiscal 2011. As a result of the restructuring action, we expect to incur between $14.0 million to $17.0 million of restructuring expense, of which we expect to recognize a portion in fiscal year 2014.

Interest income (expense), net. Interest income (expense), net primarily consists of interest earned on our interest-bearing investment accounts which include money market funds and U.S. treasury bills, as well as interest expense relating to our credit facility and to certain tax payments.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net during the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 consisted of foreign exchange gains (losses) as a result of the exchange rates primarily for the Euro, British Pound and Canadian dollar against the U.S. Dollar. In July 2012, we implemented a hedging strategy that is intended to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency balance sheet accounts and cash flows.

We recorded a tax benefit of $8.1 million and $11.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013, respectively. The net tax benefit was primarily comprised of the reversal of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits in Canada and Israel, and a refund receivable of provincial taxes in Canada, partially offset by tax liability computed based on the Company’s foreign projected financial results for the year ending June 28, 2013, state tax, and tax and interest for unrecognized tax benefits. The reversal of the unrecognized tax benefits in Canada and the recording of a provincial refund due to the Company was the result of the conclusion of an income tax audit for fiscal years 1996 to 2004 by the Canada Revenue Agency. The effective tax rate differed from the combined federal and net state statutory income tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2013 primarily due to tax expense incurred by the Company's foreign subsidiaries with operating income, offset by the release of the unrecognized tax benefits due to lapse of statute of limitations, benefits from reversals of previously accrued taxes in foreign jurisdictions and benefit from utilization of net operating losses not previously recognized.
We recorded a tax expense of $0.5 million and a tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012, respectively. The net tax benefit was primarily comprised of tax liability computed based on the company's foreign projected financial results for the year ending June 28, 2012 offset by the reversals of unrecognized tax benefits including related interest. The effective tax rate differed from the combined federal and net state statutory income tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2012 primarily due to tax expense incurred by our foreign subsidiaries with operating income, offset by the release of the unrecognized tax benefits due to lapse of statute of limitations, benefits from reversals of previously accrued taxes in foreign jurisdictions, and benefit from utilization of net operating losses not previously recognized.
As of March 29, 2013, we have provided a partial valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. Based on all available evidence, on a jurisdictional basis, including our historical operating results, and the uncertainty of predicting our future income, the valuation allowance reduces the majority of our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not

to be realized. The amount of the valuation allowance is attributable to U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets primarily consisting of net operating loss carryovers, tax credit carryovers, accrued expenses, and other temporary differences. We continue to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. If our assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, we would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $149.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 29, 2013 and $104.9 million at June 29, 2012. As of March 29, 2013, $37.5 million of cash was held outside the United States. Historically, we have required capital principally to fund our working capital needs. If we invest any of our cash outside of non-interest-bearing operating accounts, it is our investment policy to invest in a manner that preserves capital, provides liquidity and maintains appropriate diversification and optimizes after-tax yield and return within our policy's framework and stipulated benchmarks. Adherence with our policy requires the assets to be liquid on and before their maturity dates. This liquidity requirement means that the holder of the assets must be able to pay us, upon our demand, the cash value of the assets invested.
At March 29, 2013, we had short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.6 million that are pledged as collateral for various guarantees issued to cover rent on leased facilities and equipment, to government authorities for value-added tax (“VAT”) and other taxes, and certain vendors to support payments in advance of delivery of goods and services.
As described further below under the section titled "Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments," in December 2011, we entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million, which was increased to $40.0 million on May 1, 2012. On February 25, 2013, the Company amended the agreement and reduced the revolver amount by $15.0 million from an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million to $25.0 million. The credit facility is intended to be used primarily to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and operations to the extent that cash provided by operating activities is not sufficient to fund our cash needs. During the three months ended March 29, 2013, we made a $10.7 million payment to pay down the outstanding balance of the credit facility of $10.3 million and accrued interest of $0.4 million. Accordingly, as of March 29, 2013, we had no outstanding balance owed on the credit facility. We had $2.0 million of outstanding letter of credit under this credit facility to back the Company's obligation to pay for goods or services to a supplier. As of March 29, 2013, the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the credit facility was approximately $23.0 million.
At March 29, 2013, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents, in conjunction with the funds that may be drawn down under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, stock repurchase, and operations for at least the next twelve months. We have implemented processes to more effectively monitor our working capital. We have intensified our cash management processes related to monitoring, projecting and controlling procedures to operate our business and are more broadly requiring advance and milestone payments for certain large projects that would otherwise involve a significant lag between our payments to vendors for equipment and materials and the installation, acceptance, billing, and collection from the customer. We intend to retain any future earnings to support operations, to finance the growth and development of our business, and to fund our stock repurchase program. We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. At the present time, we have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
The adequacy of these resources to meet our liquidity needs beyond the next twelve months will depend on our growth, operating results and capital expenditures required to meet our business needs. If we fail to generate cash from our operations on a timely basis, we may not have the cash resources required to run our business and we may need to seek additional sources of funds.
If we require additional capital resources to expand our business internally or to acquire complementary products, technologies and businesses at any time in the future, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain other debt financing. The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result in more dilution to our stockholders. Financing arrangements may not be available to us, or may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Operating Activities
Cash provided in operating activities was $47.6 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2013. Our net income was $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2013. Non-cash items included in net income consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization expense of $10.7 million, share-based compensation expense of $7.8 million, release of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $10.3 million and other items of $1.1 million. Net change in operating assets and liabilities contributed to the increase in cash from operating activities of $36.7 million. The primary sources of cash in operating activities were decreases in deferred cost of revenue and inventory as we shipped and installed solutions for a number of large contracts during the period. The primary uses of cash in operating activities were for decreases in deferred revenue and accounts payable for payments to our suppliers.
For the nine months ended March 29, 2013, inventory decreased $42.0 million reflecting timing of customer shipments and acceptance for a number of our large sales contracts for which we had built up inventory over the past few quarters in order to meet customer demands. Deferred cost also decreased by $26.1 million primarily due to the timing and recognition of revenue for these large deals. Additionally, other liabilities increased by $10.4 million primarily due to the timing of payments.
Accounts payable decreased $12.8 million, primarily due to the timing of payments. Accounts receivable increased $4.9 million reflecting the timing of revenue recognition and collections of the trade receivables. We continue to receive milestone payments from our customers which has improved our cash position. Deferred revenue decreased by $16.1 million and prepaid expenses and other assets increased $8.0 million.
Cash used in operating activities was $61.4 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2012. Our net loss was $6.1 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2012. Non-cash items included in net loss consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization expense of $11.2 million and share-based compensation expense of $7.9 million. Net change in operating assets and liabilities contributed to the decrease in cash from operating activities of $75.1 million. The primary operating activity use of cash was from purchases of inventory, increase in accounts receivable and prepayments, and payment of accrued compensation and accounts payable.
For the nine months ended March 30, 2012, inventory increased $26.6 million to meet the demands of the large sales contracts that we entered during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, as well as due to timing of shipments to customers. Additionally, accounts receivable increased $29.9 million due to the timing of collections of the trade receivables, and prepaids and other current assets increased $3.6 million due mainly to timing of value-added tax remittances, as well as increase in prepayments. Accounts payable decreased $6.7 million, primarily due to the timing of payments, and accrued compensation decreased $4.4 million primarily due to timing of compensation related payments. The decrease in deferred revenue during the nine months ended March 30, 2012 was offset by a corresponding decrease in deferred cost of goods sold.

Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $1.1 million in the nine months ended March 29, 2013, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $2.8 million offset by proceeds from other individually immaterial investing activities of $1.7 million.
Cash used by investing activities was $8.1 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment and other individually immaterial investing activities of $5.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2013, primarily due to the payment of our credit facility of $15.3 million, repurchases of restricted stock units withheld for taxes of $1.4 million, and the repurchase of shares of our common stock of $0.4 million, which was offset by $16.5 million for the issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan and stock option exercises.
Cash provided by financing activities was $19.1 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2012, primarily due to proceeds from draw-down on our credit facility of $15.0 million, the issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan and stock option exercises of $5.1 million, which was partially offset by repurchases of restricted stock units of $1.0 million for tax withholding purposes.
We expect to continue to invest in the business including working capital, capital expenditures and operating expenses. We intend to fund these activities with our cash reserves, cash generated from operations, if any, and with the principal that is available for withdrawal on the credit facility to the extent that cash provided by operating activities is not sufficient to fund our cash needs. Increases in operating expenses may not result in an increase in our revenue and our anticipated revenue may not be sufficient to support these increased expenditures. We anticipate that operating expenses and working capital will constitute a material use of our cash resources.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Operating Leases
We lease certain real and personal property under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain leases require us to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance and include renewal options and escalation clauses.
As of March 29, 2013, we had total outstanding commitments on non-cancelable operating leases of our real properties of $13.1 million, $4.2 million of which relates to our domestic leases. These domestic leases include our headquarters in Fremont, California and our warehouse facility in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. A significant portion of our domestic leases will expire in fiscal year 2014. As of March 29, 2013, we had total outstanding commitments of $8.9 million in non-cancelable international real property operating leases. The total outstanding commitments included $3.7 million relating to our leased facility in Japan, which we assumed as part of our acquisition of SGI Japan that closed in March 2011. Our major facility leases in our international locations are generally for terms of two to nine years, and generally do not provide renewal options, except for our leases in Japan, that generally provide for a two-year renewal option.
As of March 29, 2013, personal property under operating lease was comprised primarily of automobiles and office equipment. Total outstanding commitments under such leases totaled approximately $1.1 million at March 29, 2013.
Purchase Commitments
From time to time, we issue purchase orders to our contract manufacturers for the procurement of materials to be used for upcoming orders, particularly for those components that have long lead times. These purchase orders vary in size depending on our projected requirements. If we do not consume these materials on a timely basis or if our relationship with one of our contract manufacturers was to terminate, we could experience an abnormal increase to our inventory carrying amount and related accounts payable.
In connection with supplier agreements, we agreed to purchase certain units of inventory and non-inventory through fiscal year 2014. As of March 29, 2013, there was a remaining commitment of approximately $17.7 million, of which $14.4 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months.
Other than the contractual obligations and commitments described above, we have no significant unconditional purchase obligations or similar instruments. We are not a guarantor of any other entities' debt or other financial obligations.
Credit Facility
On December 5, 2011, we entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million. The availability under the credit facility is limited to a borrowing base, subject to meeting certain conditions set forth in the credit facility. The credit facility includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the revolver amount in the first 18 months. The Company exercised this feature, and on May 1, 2012, the revolver amount was increased by $5.0 million

31

Table of Contents


to an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million. One February 25, 2013, the Company amended the agreement and reduced the revolver amount by $15.0 million from an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million to $25.0 million. In December 2012, the Company made a $15.7 million payment to pay off the outstanding balance on the credit facility, which included $0.4 million of accrued interest. Accordingly, as of March 29, 2013, we had no outstanding balance owed on the credit facility. As of March 29, 2013, the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the credit facility was approximately $23.0 million which takes into account a $2.0 million outstanding letter of credit to back the Company's obligation to pay for goods or services to a supplier. This availability will fluctuate over time, and generally monthly, due to a variety of factors including our overall mix of sales and resulting accounts receivable with international and domestic customers, U.S. governmental agencies and a few individual customer accounts which may result in high concentrations of accounts receivable as compared to the overall level of our accounts receivable. See Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on the credit facility.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of March 29, 2013, the net recorded tax liability for uncertain tax positions was $13.4 million, including interest and penalty. The Company is currently under audit by the Canadian tax authorities and expects that the audit will be concluded in fiscal 2013. We cannot conclude on the range of cash payments that will be made within the next twelve months associated with our uncertain tax positions.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
We have issued financial guarantees to cover rent on leased facilities and equipment, to government authorities for VAT and other taxes, and to various other parties to support payments in advance of future delivery on goods and services. The majority of our financial guarantees have terms of one year or more. The maximum potential obligation under financial guarantees at March 29, 2013 was $3.8 million, for which we have $3.6 million of assets held as collateral. The full amount of the assets held as collateral are included in short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Additionally, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that our product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriates a trade secret, of that third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of the available remedies in a variety of industry-standard methods, including, but not limited to, product usage and geography-based limitations, a right to control the defense or settlement of any claim, and a right to replace or modify the infringing products to make them non-infringing. We have not incurred significant expenses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims for such indemnifications were outstanding as of March 29, 2013. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements, if any, to be immaterial and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded with respect to such indemnifications as of March 29, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility. As of March 29, 2013, we have $2.0 million of outstanding letter of credit to back our obligation to pay or perform when required to do so pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods or services to a supplier.
We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 29, 2013.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. We periodically evaluate our material estimates and judgments based on the terms of underlying agreements, the expected course of development, historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual future results may vary from our estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies discussed under Part I, Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2012 are significantly affected by critical accounting estimates and that they are both highly important to the portrayal of our financial

condition and results and require difficult management judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:
Revenue recognition;
Share-based compensation;
Restructuring reserve;
Inventory valuation;
Impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets;
Warranty reserve;
Retirement benefit obligations; and
Accounting for income taxes.

There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the nine months ended March 29, 2013 as compared to those discussed under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2012.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk for investments associated with interest rate movements, liquidity risks, credit risks, and foreign exchange market risk associated with currency rate movements on non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.
Investment Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash, cash equivalents, and investments in high credit quality, readily liquid securities, primarily U.S. treasuries and money market funds. Our portfolio of investments has original maturities of less than three months from date of purchase.
There has been significant deterioration and instability in the financial markets since 2008. The extraordinary disruption and readjustment in the financial markets exposes us to additional investment risk. The value and liquidity of the securities in which we invest could deteriorate rapidly and the issuers of such securities could be subject to credit rating downgrades. In light of the current market conditions and these additional risks, we actively monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities and security classes in which we invest. We believe that we take a conservative approach to investing our funds in that we generally invest in highly-rated securities with relatively short maturities and do not invest in securities we believe involve a higher degree of risk. While we believe we take prudent measures to mitigate investment related risks, such risks cannot be fully eliminated as there are circumstances outside of our control. We currently believe that the current credit market difficulties do not have a material impact on our investment portfolio. However, future degradation in credit market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our credit facility. We currently do not hedge our interest rate exposure.
As of March 29, 2013, we held an immaterial amount of cash equivalents and we have $149.4 million cash on hand. We believe that the exposure of our principal to interest rate risk is minimal, although our future interest income is subject to reinvestment risk. We believe that the current risk of loss in fair value resulting from interest rate changes is minimal. At March 29, 2013, we had no interest rate forward contracts or option contracts.
The interest expense on outstanding cash borrowings under our credit facility is based on variable interest rates and is therefore affected by changes in market interest rates. If interest rates rise significantly, our results from operations and cash flows may be materially affected. As of March 29, 2013, we did not have any outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
Foreign Exchange Risk
As of March 29, 2013, foreign currency cash accounts totaled $43.7 million, primarily in Japanese Yen, Euros, and British Pounds.
Foreign currency risks are associated with our cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, payables, and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates will result in foreign exchange gains and losses on these foreign currency assets and liabilities, which are included in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk relates to sales commitments, anticipated sales, purchases and other expenses, and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. For most currencies, we are a net receiver of the foreign currency and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. Starting in July 2012, we have implemented a hedging strategy that is intended to mitigate our currency exposures by entering into foreign currency forward contracts that have maturities generally of one month or more. These contracts are used to reduce our risk associated with exchange rate movements, as gains and losses on these contracts are intended to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts or cash flows.
We assessed the risk of loss in fair values from the impact of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For foreign currency exchange rate risk, a 10% increase or decrease of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant would have resulted in a $4.4 million change in the value of our foreign currency cash accounts.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports we file under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 29, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 29, 2013, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but we cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the normal course of business. These matters include product liability actions, patent infringement actions, contract disputes, domestic and international federal, state and local tax reviews and audits, and other matters. We may also be subject to litigation and/or adverse rulings or judgments as a result of certain contractual indemnification obligations. We do not know whether we will prevail in these matters, nor can we assure that any remedy or resolution will be reached on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these actions. Based on currently available information, we believe that we have meritorious defenses and that the resolution of these cases, individually or in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or future results of operations. We record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our day-to-day operations or otherwise. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and we could experience unfavorable judgments or rulings in the future. Should we experience an unfavorable judgment or ruling, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or on our business for the period in which the judgment or ruling occurs and/or future periods.


ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors presented below update the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2012 (the “Annual Report”). The following factors, along with those in the Annual Report and those described above under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be reviewed carefully, in conjunction with the other information contained in this Form 10-Q and our financial statements. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated and contained in forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. See the discussion of forward-looking statements in "Part I, Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Customer Concentration-A concentrated number of customers that purchase our products in large quantities have historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenues. If we are unable to maintain or replace our relationships with such customers and/or diversify our customer base, our revenue may fluctuate or decline and our growth may be limited.
Historically, a significant portion of our revenue has come from a limited number of customers. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to sustain our revenue levels from these customers. For the three months ended March 29, 2013, our top five customers worldwide accounted for approximately 58.3% of our total revenues, with two customer in the Americas segment accounting for 26.1% and the U.S. government, excluding sales to system integrators, accounting for 26.2% of total revenue.
This customer concentration increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results. The loss or reduction of business from one or a combination of our significant customers, for example as a result of a customer's capital expenditures budget reduction or U.S. government spending reductions, could materially adversely affect our revenues, financial condition and results of operations.
U.S. Government Sales-If our U.S. government-related sales decrease, or our ability to do business with the U.S. government or entities funded by the U.S. government is disrupted or limited, our operating performance could be adversely affected.
We generally derive a significant portion of our revenue from U.S. government entities, research institutions funded by the U.S. government and third parties that sell directly to the U.S. government through our subsidiary, Silicon Graphics Federal, Inc. For the three months ended March 29, 2013, such sales represented approximately 26.2% of our total revenue, excluding sales from system integrators. These sales present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruptions and delays due to changes in appropriation and spending priorities by the U.S.

Table of Contents


government. In addition, the U.S. government can terminate or modify its contracts with us at any time for its convenience. A significant reduction in such sales could adversely affect our operating performance.
Our U.S. government business is also subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of other requirements applicable to companies doing business with the U.S government. Sales to the defense sector require us to comply with additional defense-specific regulations, including maintaining a compliant security program, obtaining security clearances for employees, and passing various inspections. Failure to comply with applicable regulations and requirements could lead to our suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time as well as fines against the Company.
Any disruption or limitation in our ability to do business with the U.S. government or entities funded by the U.S. government could materially adversely affect our revenue and operating results.

Dependence on Key Personnel-If we are unable to retain and attract adequate qualified personnel, we may not be able to execute on our business strategy.

During the past two years, we have experienced significant changes in our management team. In December 2011, Mark Barrenechea resigned from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and President effective January 1, 2012, and Ron Verdoorn, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer in accordance with the succession plan put in place by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors appointed Jorge L. Titinger as Chief Executive Officer and President, effective February 27, 2012. In addition, Timothy Pebworth resigned as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer effective April 20, 2012, and James Wheat resigned as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer effective May 14, 2012, each for personal reasons. On April 30, 2012, Robert Nikl was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective May 15, 2012. Mekonnen Asrat joined the company as Vice President and Corporate Controller on June 27, 2012 and became our Principal Accounting Officer on August 6, 2012. On January 21, 2013, Cassio Conceicao joined SGI as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, a newly created position at the company.

Our future success depends in large part upon the continued service and enhancement of our management team and our employees. If there are further changes in management, such changes could be disruptive and could negatively affect our operations, our culture and our strategic direction.

Further, our employees may terminate their employment with us at any time. Our U.S. employees are “at will,” while outside of the U.S., notice or severance may be required if we wish to terminate an employee. The failure of our management team to seamlessly manage employee transitions, or the loss of services of one or more members of our executive management or sales team or other key employees could seriously harm our business. Competition for qualified executives is intense and if we are unable to continue expanding our management team, or successfully integrate new additions to our management team in a manner that enables us to scale our business and operations effectively, our ability to operate effectively and efficiently could be limited or negatively impacted.

Additionally, to help attract, retain, and motivate certain qualified employees, we use share-based incentive awards such as employee stock options and non-vested share units (restricted stock units). If the value of such stock awards does not appreciate as measured by the performance of the price of our common stock, or if our share-based compensation otherwise ceases to be viewed as a valuable benefit, our ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees could be weakened, which could harm our results of operations.
International Sales and Operations-The global nature of our operations exposes us to increased risks and compliance obligations, which may adversely affect our business.
During the three months ended March 29, 2013, we derived approximately 41.4% of our revenue from sales outside of the United States. Our international business operations require us to recruit and retain qualified technical and managerial employees, manage multiple, remote locations and ensure intellectual property protection outside of the United States. Our international operations subject us to increased risks, including:
supporting multiple languages;
recruiting sales and technical support personnel internationally with the skills to design, manufacture, sell and support our products;
complying with governmental regulations, including obtaining required import or export approval for our products;
increased complexity and costs of managing international operations;
increased exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
commercial laws and business practices that favor local competition;
longer sales cycles and manufacturing lead times;

37

Table of Contents


financial risks such as longer payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
difficulties associated with repatriating cash generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner;
ineffective legal protection of intellectual property rights;
more complicated logistics and distribution arrangements;
additional taxes and penalties;
inadequate local infrastructure that could result in business disruptions;
political and economic instability, including the current credit crisis in Europe; and
other factors beyond our control such as natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest, war and infectious diseases.

If any of the foreign economies in which we do business deteriorate or if we fail to effectively manage our global operations, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
In addition, our global operations are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including those related to anti-corruption, tax, corporate governance, imports and exports, financial and other disclosures, privacy and labor relations. These laws and regulations are complex and may have differing or conflicting legal standards, making compliance difficult and costly. If we or our employees, contractors or agents violate these laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties or criminal sanctions, and may be prohibited from conducting business in one or more countries. Any violation individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations-We may experience foreign currency gains and losses.
We conduct a significant number of transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Changes in the value of major foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound and the Canadian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar, can significantly affect revenues and our operating results. Our revenues and operating results are adversely affected when the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to other currencies and are positively affected when the U.S. Dollar weakens. Although we have recently initiated foreign currency hedging transactions, we may be unable to hedge all of our foreign currency risk, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. For the three months ended March 29, 2013, our combined revenue from our EMEA and APJ segments was $90.4 million. As of March 29, 2013, the balance in our foreign currency cash accounts was $43.7 million. As a result, an increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products more expensive and, thus, not competitively priced in foreign markets. On the other hand, a decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies could increase our operating costs in foreign locations. In the future, a larger portion of our international revenue may be denominated in foreign currencies, which will subject us to additional risks associated with fluctuations in those foreign currencies. In addition, we may be unable to successfully hedge against any such fluctuations.

Weak Global Economy-Weak or unstable global market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business.

The past several years have been characterized by weak global economic conditions including stock market volatility, tightened credit markets, concerns about both deflation and inflation, reduced demand for products, lower consumer confidence, reduced capital spending, liquidity concerns, business insolvencies and, more recently, concerns about the U.S. national debt and governmental spending cuts. Further declines and uncertainty about economic conditions, including uncertainty about future U.S. legislation regarding government deficit spending and the national debt, could negatively impact our customers' budgets, causing our customers to postpone their decision-making or decrease their spending or affecting our customers' ability to pay for our products, which would harm our operating results. In addition, one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers and other partners may go out of business, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.

If the global economy continues to experience uncertainty, our ability to obtain credit on favorable terms could be jeopardized. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and stock price and could require us to change our business plans. Furthermore, should any of our banking partners declare bankruptcy or otherwise default on their obligations, it could adversely affect our financial results and our business.

We cannot predict if or when global economic confidence will be restored. Accordingly, our future business and financial results are subject to considerable uncertainty, and our stock price is at risk of volatile change.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT LETTER


This SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT LETTER (this “Second Amendment”), effective February 21, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), is executed by and between Silicon Graphics International Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SGI”), and Jennifer W. Pileggi (the “Executive”). SGI and the Executive are each individually referred to as a “Party” and are collectively referred to as the “Parties” herein.

RECITALS

Whereas, Executive and SGI have entered into an employment agreement letter dated September 9, 2011, as amended by a First Amendment dated December 17, 2012 (the “Employment Letter”); and

Whereas, the parties desire to amend the Employment Letter again.

AGREEMENT

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Second Amendment, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree that upon the Effective Date, the Employment Letter is hereby amended as follows:

1.
Section 8 of the Employment Letter is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good Reason; and you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective a release of all claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or such other form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”), then in lieu of any Severance Benefits set forth in Section 9 herein, you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits (the “Change in Control Severance Benefits”); provided that you must execute and return the Release on or before the date specified by the Company in the prescribed form (the “Release Deadline”).  The Release Deadline will in no event be later than fifty (50) days after your separation.  If you fail to return the Release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the Release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 8.  The severance payments will commence within sixty (60) days after your separation and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date of your separation.  However, if the 60-day period described in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then the payments will in any event begin in the second calendar year.
a.
Accelerated Vesting. All unvested stock options and restricted stock units referred to herein and any subsequent grants of stock options, restricted stock units or any other equity awards granted under current or future plans shall become fully vested upon the closing of a Change in Control of the Company;
b.
Severance Pay. You will be eligible to receive severance pay in the total amount equal to the sum of (i) twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect as of the employment termination date (ii) the full amount of your annual performance bonus at target, and (iii) the prorated amount of your quarterly performance bonus at target for the fiscal quarter in which the



Exhibit 10.3

termination occurred. The severance pay will be paid in one lump sum payment, subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings; and
c.
COBRA Benefits. If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for continued group health insurance coverage under federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws (collectively, “COBRA”), the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including dependent coverage, if applicable) for twelve (12) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Company if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within twelve (12) months after your employment termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act), the Company shall instead provide you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would otherwise be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect from the date of your termination of employment, which payments shall be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date on which you obtain other employment and (y) twelve (12) months after your employment termination date."
2. Section 9 of the Employment Letter is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, at any time other than during the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good Reason; and you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective the Release, then you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”); provided that you must execute and return the Release on or before the Release Deadline. If you fail to return the Release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the Release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 9. The severance payments will commence within sixty (60) days after your separation and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date of your separation.  However, if the sixty (60) day period described in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then the payments will in any event begin in the second calendar year.
a.
Severance Pay. You will be eligible to receive severance pay in the total amount equal to the sum of (i) six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of the employment termination date, and (ii) the prorated amount of your quarterly performance bonus at target for the fiscal quarter in which the termination occurred. The severance pay will be subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings, and will be paid in thirteen (13) equal installments over a period of six (6) months, with such payments made on the Company’s normal payroll schedule; and

b.
COBRA Benefits. If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including



Exhibit 10.3

dependent coverage, if applicable) for six (6) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Board if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within six (6) months after your employment termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act), the Company shall instead provide you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would otherwise be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect from the date of your termination of employment, which payments shall be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date on which you obtain other employment and (y) six (6) months after your employment termination date.”
3. Except as amended herein, the Employment Letter shall remain in full force and effect without modification thereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Second Amendment as of the Effective Date.
