2.	FUTURE TAPE OUTS, EXCLUSIVITY AND WAIVER PRODUCTS

(a) The Parties agree that with respect to calendar year 2014 and beyond, the schedule for required tape outs in Exhibit A to the Third Amendment shall be amended and restated in its entirety and the schedule for required tape outs shall be as set forth in Exhibit B to this Fourth Amendment. AMD agrees that it shall not [****]. For avoidance of doubt, as relates to the [****] Product only, the Parties acknowledge that the tape out for the [****] Product at FoundryCo remains subject to [****]. If [****], then AMD’s tape out obligations as set forth in Exhibit B of this Fourth Amendment shall cease to continue with respect to the [****] Product. However, the forgoing shall not constitute a waiver of AMD’s exclusivity obligation with respect

to the sourcing of the [****] Product from FoundryCo as set forth in the Agreement, and AMD may not source the [****] Products from any other manufacturer without FoundryCo’s written consent as evidenced by an amendment in writing signed by the persons required pursuant to Section 5(c) of this Fourth Amendment. Although the scheduled tape out dates with respect to all Products set forth in Exhibit B hereto are best estimates based on information available at the time of execution of this Fourth Amendment, and such timing is subject to change by AMD based on business and market conditions and other factors, AMD agrees that such tape out requirements apply to the underlying Products as they are understood at the time of the execution of this Fourth Amendment and that AMD may not avoid these requirements and the related required transitions of Waiver Products and tape outs of the GPU Products and of Chipset Products to FoundryCo by changing the names of Products or their scope. Should AMD decide to cancel any of the listed Products, AMD agrees that it will not tape out any future related Products or derivatives related to or emanating from such listed Products, or any Products that will be sold as substitutes for such Products, with any party other than FoundryCo. The Parties agree that a waiver granted to a particular Product shall not apply to any Product manufactured at a different node, notwithstanding that AMD may give both Products the same or similar Product names.

(b) AMD hereby agrees that it will comply in full with the covenants and other agreements concerning exclusivity of production of MPU Products by FoundryCo for AMD as set forth in the Agreement, including without limitation the specific waivers and transition provisions set forth in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) of the Second Amendment. Since the Third Amendment, certain of the Waiver Products have been or are in the process of being transitioned to FoundryCo. The names assigned to the versions of certain Waiver Products to be manufactured by FoundryCo are as set forth in Exhibit C of this Fourth Amendment. For clarity, the original Waiver Products continue to be subject to the Waivers in accordance with the terms of the Second Amendment.

(c) Except as set forth in this Fourth Amendment, each of AMD’s and FoundryCo’s rights and obligations with respect to MPU Products, GPU Products and Chipset Products shall remain as governed by the Agreement.

3.	ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

(a) The Parties acknowledge that the tape out of the [****] Product with FoundryCo as required by Section 1 of and Exhibit A to the Third Amendment has not occurred. FoundryCo hereby agrees to a waiver solely with respect to the [****] Product in exchange for AMD’s agreement to tape out and manufacture the [****] Product [****] with FoundryCo. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, FoundryCo reserves any rights or remedies FoundryCo has arising out of or relating to the requirements of Section 4 of the Third Amendment.

(b) As consideration for the agreements set forth in this Fourth Amendment including [****], as well as for certain additional engineering services related to future product development to be performed by FoundryCo in 2014 subject to mutual agreement by the parties, in addition to other amounts payable by AMD to FoundryCo pursuant to the Agreement, AMD

shall pay FoundryCo $[****] in cash during calendar year 2014, [****]. AMD’s payment obligations with respect to such payments shall be unconditional and AMD shall pay such amounts without reduction, abatement, diminution, counterclaim, set-off, defense, recoupment, deferment or other limitation, regardless of the acts, breaches or omissions, or alleged acts, breaches or omissions, of FoundryCo under the Agreement or otherwise, or for any other reason whatsoever.

(c) FoundryCo agrees to provide AMD, [****] during the 2014 Period up to a total of [****] NPI Wafers (as defined below), as follows: (i) at [****], an aggregate of [****] Wafers ([****] lots of [****] Wafers), and (ii) at [****], an aggregate of [****] Wafers ([****] lots of [****] Wafers); provided, that in all cases FoundryCo’s obligation to provide such [****] NPI Wafers to AMD shall be subject to FoundryCo having available, unutilized capacity at such facilities to manufacture such NPI Wafers as requested by AMD. As part of the [****] NPI Wafers as set forth above, FoundryCo agrees to provide, to the extent requested by AMD, [****] per Product per tape out. Other than as set forth in preceding sentence, if AMD requests accelerated lead or cycle times for any NPI Wafers, FoundryCo shall not have any obligation to provide such Wafers unless AMD agrees to pay FoundryCo a per Wafer price not to exceed [****]. The term “NPI Wafers” shall mean Wafer Outs of Product Development Wafers processed during the 2014 Period that are tied to a new Product introduction and are not Production Wafers or multi-project wafers. For the avoidance of doubt, NPI Wafers are to be used for engineering and engineering sampling purposes only and shall not be used for production shipments. NPI Wafers will not be included in [****] any quality or reliability criteria other than an applicable mutually agreed quality criteria for such wafers.

4.	SORTING AND MASK SERVICES

(a) The Parties agree that FoundryCo’s responsibility for providing sorting services will be contingent on AMD meeting its obligations under Section 4 of the Original WSA, which requires, among other things, for AMD to consign test equipment to perform sort. Such equipment shall be installed and qualified in on a timely basis so as to enable FoundryCo to meet its Product delivery requirements. To the extent new equipment or upgrades to existing equipment are required for FoundryCo to perform sorting services, the costs associated with such equipment or upgrades (including but not limited to installation and qualification expenses incurred by FoundryCo, not to exceed USD [****] per system) shall be paid by AMD. If AMD has not consigned test equipment to perform sort or cooperated with FoundryCo with regard to required upgrades on a timely basis (meaning such time as would be sufficient to sort the Production Wafers in the amount set forth in this Agreement by quarter), then each quarter FoundryCo may ship to AMD the 2014 MPU and GPU Production Wafers in the amounts provided for in the Agreement and AMD shall accept such Wafers whether or not they have been sorted. To ensure that (a) there is sufficient sort capacity for the delivery of the 2014 MPU and GPU Production Wafers, [****] and (b) there is understanding between the Parties regarding who will have financial responsibility for the foregoing consistent with the terms of this Fourth Amendment (including, without limitation, any engineering that may be required), the Parties will enter into a written arrangement addressing the above no later than [****], 2014.

(b) To facilitate GF’s delivery, at its option, of sorted or unsorted Wafers at a third party location during the 2014 Period, the Parties agree that they will enter into a written arrangement similar to the arrangement outlined in the letter from AMD to FoundryCo dated [****] to provide for the delivery of wafers in a controlled fashion. The parties will use their best efforts to enter into such arrangement on or before [****], 2014.

(c) AMD agrees that it shall procure mask services for 2014 MPU and GPU Production Wafers provided by FoundryCo [****] from FoundryCo. The pricing relating to mask services during the 2014 Period shall be as set forth in Exhibit D.

5.	MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Each of FoundryCo and AMD represents and warrants that this Fourth Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it, that this Fourth Amendment is duly enforceable pursuant to its terms and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Fourth Amendment does not conflict with applicable law or any of its organizational documents or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which it is a respective party.

(b) Each of FoundryCo and AMD acknowledges the importance of prompt collaboration and communication with respect to all communications and announcements, whether by press release or otherwise, in respect of their commercial relationship and, as such, agrees to work together and coordinate such communications and announcements, and will make such communications and announcements available to the other party in advance to the extent reasonably possible. This Section 5(b) shall not affect, waive or otherwise amend the existing provisions of the Agreement with respect to communications and announcements.

(c) In order to avoid miscommunications or misunderstandings concerning whether a Party has agreed to amend or waive any provision of the Agreement, no amendments or waivers shall be effective or agreed by any Party unless such amendment or waiver is expressed in a writing specifically identified as such and signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of FoundryCo and by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, current Senior Vice President—Global Operations or current Senior Vice President—Global Business Units of AMD, and no emails or other written communications, oral communications or actions or inactions by employees of any Party that may be inconsistent with the expressed written provisions of the Agreement shall serve as a basis for any Party to argue or establish that an amendment, waiver, or estoppel has been effected with respect to any written provision of this Agreement.

(d) Other than as expressly provided in this Fourth Amendment, no other amendments are being made to the Agreement, and all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
