Section 1.01. Manufacture by AMD Fab 36 of Products for Sale to AMD Fab 36 Holding.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, AMD Fab 36 hereby agrees to manufacture and sell Products to AMD Fab 36 Holding. Products within the meaning of this Agreement are all Wafers manufactured by AMD Fab 36. AMD Fab 36 further agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, unless AMD Inc., the limited partners of AMD Fab 36 and, prior to the Loan Agreement Termination Date, the Facility Agent, otherwise consent thereto, it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell any Products or any other goods or services to any Person other than AMD Fab 36 Holding, AMD Inc. or one or more of AMD Inc.’s Subsidiaries under any circumstances, or (ii) engage in any activities other than (w) construction of the Plant, (x) manufacture and sale of Products to be Shipped pursuant to this Agreement, (y) research, development and further development of the underlying technologies to the industrial production stage, and (z) activities reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing.
In the event that a further industrial manufacturing partner is admitted to AMD Fab 36, the exclusivity shall terminate with respect to manufacturing capacity of the Plant in excess of capacity dedicated to production of Wafers pursuant to this Agreement and the Parties shall agree to modify this Agreement accordingly.
(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, AMD Fab 36 Holding hereby agrees to purchase from AMD Fab 36 all Products and to pay for all the Products Shipped to it the purchase price determined on a “cost-plus” basis pursuant to Article II.

The exclusive legal consequence of the warranty irrespective of fault is that AMD Fab 36 Holding cannot invoke bad performance/non-performance by AMD Fab 36; such warranty has no other legal consequences.
Section 1.03. Quality of Products; Inspection and Rejection; Replacement Products. Without prejudice to AMD Fab 36 Holding’s obligation to make payment for Products Shipped pursuant to Section 2.06 and Section 2.07:
(a) AMD Fab 36 shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that each Product Shipped meets the Specifications for that Product.

ARTICLE II
Purchase Price and Delivery of Products
Section 2.01. Descriptive Overview of Product Pricing. Without derogating from Sections 2.02 through 2.07 hereunder:
From and after the Effective Date AMD Fab 36 Holding shall purchase all Products which it orders from AMD Fab 36 and are Shipped by AMD Fab 36 in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The purchase price for the Products will be set at a price per Wafer which will be determined on a “cost-plus” basis for any month in accordance with the Section 2 hereinafter (“Selling Price Per Wafer”).
For all Products Shipped during any Month, AMD Fab 36 Holding shall make payments to AMD Fab 36 based on the Selling Price Per Wafer. Within 25 days after the end of each Month, other than one in which no Products are Shipped, AMD Fab 36 shall determine the Selling Price Per Wafer for such Month on the basis of its Total Costs actually incurred during that Month and the Applicable Percentage in accordance with Section 2.02. The parties acknowledge that this pricing mechanism may have the result of dictating a high price per Wafer for any Month in which only relatively few Wafers are Shipped and that after the Effective Date it will result in a full cost reimbursement during each year.
Section 2.02. Definition of Selling Price Per Wafer.
(a) Promptly, but in any event not later than 25 days after the end of each Month, the Selling Price Per Wafer for that Month shall be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Section 2.02(b). Such calculation shall be based on the Total Costs actually incurred during such Month and the Actual Volume for such Month.
(b) For any Month the Selling Price Per Wafer shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:-
where:
“Applicable
Percentage” shall be 110%;
“AV” means the Actual Volume for that Month;
“TC” means AMD Fab 36’s Total Costs (as defined in Annex 1) for or in respect of that Month.
I-4
Section 2.03. Advance Payment Adjustment to Reimburse Total Costs in Certain Months during which no Wafers are Shipped. For any Month after the Effective Date during which no Products are Shipped, promptly after the end but in any event not later than 30 days after such Month, AMD Fab 36 Holding shall make a creditable but not repayable advance payment in the amount of AMD Fab 36’s Total Costs multiplied by the Applicable Percentage (the “Advance Payment Adjustment Amount”) regardless of further Wafer Shipments.
If Wafers are again Shipped in any Month thereafter, the Total Costs of AMD Fab 36 shall be increased for that Month by the Total Costs of all preceding Months during which no Wafers were Shipped; the Advance Payment Adjustment Amounts shall be set-off against the payment to be made for such Month (confer definition of Total Costs in Annex 1, lit (g)).
Section 2.04. Annual Compensation for Certain Administrative Costs. AMD Fab 36 Holding shall compensate AMD Fab 36 for any administrative costs, including without limitation bookkeeping, legal and accounting costs, incurred by AMD Fab 36 from time to time for the direct benefit of AMD Fab 36 Holding, as follows. The parties agree that the amount payable by AMD Fab 36 Holding to AMD Fab 36 under this Section 2.04 shall be Euro 25,000 per annum for each Fiscal Year (which amount shall be pro-rated for any portion of a Fiscal Year) from the date hereof. Such payment shall be made not later than 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year.
Section 2.05. Shipping Terms. AMD Fab 36 shall deliver the Products purchased hereunder from Dresden, Germany. AMD Fab 36 will arrange all freight, trucking and insurance. The costs for transportation and insurance will – as far as applicable - be separately regulated by the parties on a case-by-case basis.
Section 2.06. Payments; Set Off.
(a) AMD Fab 36 Holding shall pay to AMD Fab 36 the Selling Price Per Wafer for all Products Shipped by AMD Fab 36 within 30 days after receipt of invoices denominated in Euro from AMD Fab 36 in accordance with this Section 2.06. AMD Fab 36 shall be entitled to issue invoices to AMD Fab 36 Holding on a monthly basis. Payment for all other amounts due hereunder from either party (including any adjustment amount) shall be unconditionally due on or before the date specified in this Agreement for such amount.
(b) All amounts under this Agreement not paid when due from AMD Fab 36 Holding shall bear interest at the rate of 3% above the three-month EURIBOR per annum on a pro rata temporis basis. Such interest shall be due and payable at the end of each calendar month.
(c) Any amounts that are due from AMD Fab 36 to AMD Fab 36 Holding hereunder shall be payable only in the form of credit against amounts owed or to be owed by AMD Fab 36
I-5
Holding to AMD Fab 36 under this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Section 3.04 in connection with the Fab 36 Management Service Agreement. Any amount that is due from AMD Fab 36 Holding to AMD Fab 36 hereunder may be set-off against any payment then due under Sections 3, 5.02, or the Fab 36 Management Service Agreement, from AMD Fab 36 to AMD Fab 36 Holding.
(d) To secure the payment claims of AMD Fab 36, AMD Fab 36 Holding, here and now, assigns to AMD Fab 36 its payment claims against AMD Inc. under the Fab 36 Holding Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement attached hereto as Annex A (including damage claims in case that, in the event of bankruptcy of AMD Inc., the trustee in bankruptcy of AMD Inc. or any other person with similar authority does not continue the Fab 36 Holding Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement, regardless of whether such damage claims result under German or U.S. state or federal law).
Section 2.06 a). Assignment of Damage Claims.
(a) AMD Fab 36 Holding undertakes to purchase damage claims asserted by AMD Fab 36, which reduced the Total Costs pursuant to Section (6) (b) of Annex 1, if and to the extent that neither the damaging party nor an insurer makes any payment on account of such claims by the end of the second month after the month in which the Total Costs have been reduced. This purchase obligation does not apply in case of damage claims of less than 100,000.00 EUR.
(b) The purchase price of the damage claim shall correspond to the claim asserted against the third party and shall be included by AMD Fab 36 in the next invoice after arising of the purchase obligation.
(c) The assignment shall take effect at the time of sale; however, AMD Fab 36 is hereby granted authority of collection subject to any other regulation in the individual case. In the event that the assignment of the damage claim is excluded, AMD Fab 36 shall assert the claim in its own name and for the account of AMD Fab 36 Holding. It shall comply with the instructions given by AMD Fab 36 Holding in this connection.
Section 2.07. Method of Payment. Payments under this Agreement from AMD Fab 36 Holding to AMD Fab 36, if made other than by set-off permitted by Section 2.06, shall be deposited into an account of AMD Fab 36 at Dresdner Bank AG, Dresden Branch or such other account of AMD Fab 36 specified by AMD Fab 36 with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (a copy of which consent shall be delivered by AMD Fab 36 to AMD Fab 36 Holding) with not less than 15 days written notice to AMD Fab 36 Holding, and all such payments shall be made in Euro, or in US-Dollar, or a combination of Euro and US-Dollar, in each case at the option of AMD Fab 36. The relevant US-Dollar amount results from the conversion of Euro to US-Dollar at the Facility Agent’s spot rate of exchange as in effect on the date of the relevant invoice.
Section 2.08. Adjustments for Changes in Laws or German GAAP. In the event that there is a change in applicable Law or in German GAAP, and such change results in (i) payments
I-6
due from AMD Fab 36 Holding to AMD Fab 36, or due from AMD Fab 36 to AMD Fab 36 Holding (as the case may be) being materially different in aggregate amount or (ii) the timing of the receipt of such payments being materially different from the payments contemplated by this Article II, the affected party shall promptly notify the other party, AMD Inc. and the Facility Agent, and AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing to such reasonable amendments to this Article II and the definitions used therein (which amendments shall be made only with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent) as are necessary as a result of such change. In order to restore the position contemplated by this Article II in the event AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 fail to reach agreement on such amendments within 30 days of becoming aware of such change, or if the Facility Agent reasonably withholds its consent to any proposed amendments, all payments under this Article II shall be calculated without giving effect to such change. For avoidance of doubt, any amendments of the applicable law or of the German GAAP must not lead to a reduction of the cost basis of Total Costs.
Section 2.09. Product Warranty. Subject to Section 2.10, AMD Fab 36 represents and warrants that all Products sold to AMD Fab 36 Holding pursuant to this Agreement shall conform in all material respects to the Specifications for such Products and, if expressly agreed by AMD Fab 36 in writing in advance, to any specific changes thereto.
Section 2.10. Disclaimer. THE WARRANTY CONTAINED IN SECTION 2.09 IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AS TO THE PRODUCTS AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IN FACT OR IN LAW, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY SIMILAR WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY APPLICABLE LAW. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS SHALL BE AMD FAB 36 HOLDING’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. AMD FAB 36 ASSUMES NO LIABILITY IN TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY, NOR SHALL AMD FAB 36 BE LIABLE TO AMD FAB 36 HOLDING OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF FOR LOSS OR USE OF PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCURRED BY AMD FAB 36 HOLDING OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE THEREOF.

In the event that no Wafers can be manufactured due to Force Majeure, the payment obligations hereunder shall continue to be owed.
(b) In case of subsection (a), the said failure shall not be considered non-compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement, and all the obligations (other than payment obligations) and times which because of such Force Majeure could not be fulfilled shall be deemed to have been suspended while the Force Majeure continues. In addition, the party for whom such obligations and/or times have been suspended shall be entitled to take reasonable steps during the pendency of the relevant Force Majeure to limit its losses resulting from such Force Majeure, and following the occurrence of such Force Majeure such obligations and/or times shall continue to be suspended for such further reasonable period as is necessary for such party to restore its capacity to perform such obligations and/or meet such times.
Section 6.02. Applicable Law. This Agreement is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980 is expressly excluded.
Section 6.03. Dispute Resolution.
a) The parties shall endeavor to reach an amicable settlement of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and its implementation, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination or its performance, or in connection with arrangements regarding the performance of this Agreement.
b) If any party declares that a reasonable attempt at amicable settlement of a dispute mentioned in sub-section a) has failed, such dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration, to the exclusion of the courts of regular jurisdiction, under the Rules of Arbitration (Schiedsgerichtsordnung) of the German Arbitration Board (“Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtswesen e.V.”), by three arbitrators. The place of arbitration shall be Dresden, Germany. The German Code of Civil Procedure shall apply where the Rules of Arbitration are silent.

c) The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be German and all documents written in a language other than German shall be translated into the German language for the arbitration proceedings, unless otherwise decided by the parties to the arbitration proceedings.
d) The arbitral awards shall be substantiated in writing. The arbitration tribunal shall decide on the matter of costs of the arbitration and on the allocation of expenditure among the respective parties to the arbitration proceedings.
Section 6.04. Definitions
A list with definitions of the terms used in this Agreement is attached hereto. It is the will of the parties hereto that each of the terms listed in the Annex 1 has the meaning specified there unless the context requires a different interpretation.
Section 6.05. Assignment
None of the parties hereto shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, of AMD Inc., of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W as long as they are limited partners of AMD Fab 36 and, prior to the Loan Agreement Termination Date, of the Security Agent. However, AMD Fab 36 may assign its rights under this Agreement to the Security Agent and/or the Banks as security for obligations of AMD Fab 36 under the Loan Agreement, and the Security Agent may in turn assign such rights to any direct transferee of the Plant in the context of the proper realization of such security.
Section 6.06. Language
The German version of this Agreement shall be controlling.
Section 6.07 Final Provisions
a) No modifications or amendments to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing. This requirement of written form may only be waived in writing.
b) If present or future terms of this Agreement are invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or lose their validity or enforceability at a later date, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The same shall apply insofar as it transpires that there is a gap in this agreement. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced, or the gap filled, by a reasonable provision which, to the extent legally permissible, comes closest to what the contracting parties intended or would have intended in accordance with the meaning and purpose of this Agreement, had they considered the point upon
I-14
conclusion hereof. This also applies if the invalidity of a provision results from a degree of performance standardized hereunder (set period, date); in such cases a legally permissible degree of performance or time (set period, date), coming as close as possible to the intentions, shall replace what was agreed. In case of disputes arising among the parties hereto due to subsections a) and b) above, the arbitration tribunal (Section 6.03) shall be entitled to determine with binding force the provision which is to apply thereunder.
