Common use of Changes Initiated by AMD Clause in Contracts

Changes Initiated by AMD. Concurrent with the submission of a request for a Change by AMD, either AMD or a joint project team working on the impacted Service, as appropriate, shall provide to Spansion a Change Proposal containing the information specified in subparagraph (i) above. Within ten (10) business days after receiving such proposal, Spansion shall either approve the Change Proposal, notify AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further, or reject the requested Change. Spansion’s failure to approve the Change Proposal or notify AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further within this ten (10) business day period shall be deemed a rejection of such request, and the Change shall not be implemented. If Spansion rejects the request or does not respond to the request, then the AMD Services Advisor may notify all members of the Board of Directors by simultaneous notice, with a copy to the Spansion chief financial officer (or other officer who supervises the Spansion Services Manager, if applicable) and to the Fujitsu Services Advisor, of the rejection of the Change Proposal and may request that the Board of Directors determine whether the Change should be made by or for Spansion.
