Item 1.01.         Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 27, 2005, Intergraph Corporation (the "Company") entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with R. Halsey Wise, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President. The independent members of the Board of Directors approved the Employment Agreement.

The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years, and automatically renews for successive one year terms thereafter unless either party provides a notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term thereafter. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Wise an initial annual base salary of $600,000, subject to increase in the discretion of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company on or before each anniversary of the effective date of the Employment Agreement during the term of the agreement. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Wise shall be eligible to receive a target cash bonus opportunity each year during the term of the agreement in an amount equal to 100% of his then-current base salary, subject to the performance and/or other criteria established annually by the independent members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Wise will also be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards under the Company's equity incentive plans in the discretion of the independent members of the Board of Directors.

The Employment Agreement provides for severance benefits in certain instances, including severance benefits equal to 200% of Mr. Wise's then-current base salary and 200% of his then-current target bonus opportunity, together with fully-paid health insurance benefits for two years following the date of termination in the event Mr. Wise is terminated without cause (including a decision by the Company not to renew the Employment Agreement) or Mr. Wise resigns for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement). In the event Mr. Wise either resigns for good reason or is terminated without cause within twenty-four months of a change in control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Employment Agreement provides for severance benefits equal to 250% of his then-current base salary and 250% of this then-current target bonus opportunity, together with fully-paid health insurance benefits for two years following the date of termination. The Employment Agreement also contains certain confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.

The Employment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employment Agreement.
