SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

           THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, originally dated as of June 12, 2003, and amended and restated effective as of May 27, 2005 and as of December 19, 2005 (the "Agreement"), is by and between Intergraph Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and R. Halsey Wise (the "Executive").

           WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Executive continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and the Executive desires to hold such positions under the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

           WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the employment relationship of the Executive with the Company.

           NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

           1.          Employment .  The Company hereby employs the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

           2.           Term .

           (a)         Subject to termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the term of the employment by the Company of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement (as the same may be extended, the "Term") shall commence on May 27, 2005 (the "Effective Date"), and terminate on May 27, 2008 (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be considered the third anniversary of the Effective Date).

           (b)         Commencing on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and on each subsequent anniversary thereof, the Term shall automatically be extended for a period of one (1) additional year following the expiration of the otherwise applicable Term unless, not later than ninety days (90) prior to any such anniversary date, either party hereto shall have notified the other party hereto in writing that such extension shall not take effect.

           3.           Position .  During the Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company performing duties commensurate with the position of Chief Executive Officer and such additional duties as the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") shall determine, which duties shall not be materially inconsistent with the duties to be performed by executives holding similar offices in similarly-sized software corporations.  The Executive shall report directly to the Board.  Executive agrees to serve, without any additional compensation, as a director on the Board and the board of directors of any subsidiary of the Company, and/or in one or more chief executive officer positions with any subsidiary of the Company.  If the Executive's employment is terminated for any reason, whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, the Executive shall resign as a director of the Company (and any of its subsidiaries), such resignation to be effective no later than the date of termination of Executive's employment with the Company.

           4.           Duties .  During the Term, the Executive shall devote his full time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company (the "Business"); provided , however , that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (i) devote reasonable periods of time to charitable and community activities and, with the approval of the Company, industry or professional activities, and/or (ii) manage personal business interests and investments, so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities under this Agreement.

           5.           Salary and Bonus .

           (a)         For purposes of this Agreement, a "Contract Year" shall mean a one-year period commencing on the Effective Date or any anniversary thereof.  During the initial Contract Year, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary of $600,000 per year.  Commencing on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date during the term of this Agreement, the Board (or a committee of the Board) shall review Executive's base salary and may increase such amount as it may deem advisable (such salary, as the same may be increased, the "Base Salary").  The Base Salary shall be payable to the Executive in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices. 

           (b)          Executive shall receive a target cash bonus opportunity for 2005 in the amount of $600,000.  The entitlement to such target cash bonus, if any, shall be determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors (or any designated Committee of the Board comprised solely of independent directors) based on the year-end audited financial statements of the Company and will be paid to the Executive no later than March 15   of the year following the year in which the cash bonus was earned and vested.  For each succeeding year during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual target cash bonus opportunity in an amount equal to his then current Base Salary and such bonus, as shall be determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors (or any designated Committee of the Board comprised solely of independent directors), if any, shall be paid in accordance with the procedures and time frames set out above for payment of the cash bonus.

           6.           Long-Term Incentive Awards .  During the term of this Agreement, the independent members of the Board of Directors (or any designated Committee of the Board comprised solely of independent directors) will consider on an annual basis long-term incentive awards to Executive pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans.  

           7.           Vacation, Holidays and Sick Leave .  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company's standard vacation accrual policies for its senior executive officers as may be in effect from time to time; provided that Executive shall during each Contract Year be entitled to at least four (4) weeks of such vacation.  During the Term, Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all applicable Company employee benefits set forth in the Company's Employee Benefits Plan Summary as may be in effect from time to time.

           8.           Business Expenses .  The Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by him in connection with his employment (including, without limitation, expenses for travel and entertainment incurred in conducting or promoting business for the Company, which shall include reimbursement for regular travel to and from Huntsville, Alabama and Jacksonville, Florida, and any incremental income taxes incurred by the Executive relating to such travel reimbursement) upon timely submission by the Executive of receipts and other documentation in accordance with the Company's normal expense reimbursement policies.

           9.           Termination of Agreement .  The Executive's employment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall not be terminated prior to the end of the Term hereof except as set forth in this Section 9.  To the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as determined by the Executive's counsel if requested by the Executive, one or more payments under this Section 9 shall be delayed to the six month anniversary of the date of Executive's separation from service, within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  In addition, if and to the extent required to prevent a violation of Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Executive's counsel if requested by the Executive, the Executive will pay the entire cost of any health insurance benefits provided under this Section 9 for the first six (6) months after the Date of Termination and the Company will reimburse the Executive for the Company's share of such costs on the six-month anniversary of the Executive's "separation from service" as defined in Section 409A of the Code.

           (a)         By Mutual Consent .  The Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Executive.

           (b)         Death .  The Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated upon the death of the Executive, in which event the Executive's spouse or heirs shall receive, when the same would have been paid to the Executive (whether or not the Term shall have expired during such period), all Base Salary and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement through the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 9(i) hereof), a pro-rata portion of the Executive's then-current target bonus payable under Section 5(b), and any other unpaid benefits (including death benefits) to which they are entitled under any plan, policy or program of the Company applicable to the Executive as of the Date of Termination.  In addition, the Executive's surviving spouse and dependents shall receive fully-paid up health insurance benefits commensurate with the Company's standard health insurance benefits for one (1) year following the Date of Termination.

           (c)         Disability .  The Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated by written notice to the Executive by the Company or to the Company by the Executive (i) in the event that Executive suffers a physical or mental disability entitling Executive to long-term disability benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan, if any, or (ii) in the absence of a Company long-term disability plan, in the event that Executive is unable, as determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors (or any designated Committee of the Board comprised solely of independent directors), to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for a period of six (6) consecutive months.  In the event the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(c), the Executive shall be entitled to receive, when the same would have been paid to the Executive (whether or not the Term shall have expired during such period), all Base Salary and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement through the Date of Termination, a pro-rata portion of the Executive's then-current target bonus payable under Section 5(b), and any other unpaid benefits (including disability benefits) to which he is otherwise entitled under any plan, policy or program of the Company applicable to the Executive as of the Date of Termination.  In addition, Executive shall receive fully-paid up health insurance benefits commensurate with the Company's standard health insurance benefits for one (1) year following the Date of Termination.

The termination of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless the Executive is given notice and an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the independent members of the Board of Directors, and thereafter Executive is determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors to be guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above.  In the event the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(d), the Executive shall be entitled to receive all Base Salary and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement through the Date of Termination, and any other unpaid benefits to which he is otherwise entitled under any plan, policy or program of the Company applicable to the Executive as of the Date of Termination, and no more.

           (e)         By the Company Without Cause .  The Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time without Cause (which shall specifically include a decision by the Company not to extend this Agreement beyond the third anniversary of the Effective Date) by delivery of a Notice of Termination to the Executive.  In the event that the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(e), the Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) on or prior to the Date of Termination, all Base Salary and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement through the Date of Termination, (ii) an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Executive's then-current target bonus payable under Section 5(b), (iii) an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Executive's Base Salary at the then-current rate of Base Salary, (iv) fully paid-up health insurance benefits commensurate with the Company's standard health insurance benefits for two (2) years following the Date of Termination, and (v) any other unpaid benefits to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under any plan, policy or program of the Company applicable to the Executive as of the Date of Termination.   The amounts referred to in clause (ii) and clause (iii) above shall collectively be referred to as the "Severance Amount."  The Severance Amount shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum no later than ten (10) days following the Date of Termination.  As a condition to receiving the Severance Amount, Executive agrees to sign, at the time of termination of his employment, a release in favor of the Company of all employment-law related claims.
