If no parent is living and the Committee decides not to select another custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or, if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within 60 days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.

ARTICLE II

PARTICIPATION

 

2.1 Participation.

 

An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan by electing to defer all or a portion of his or her Compensation in accordance with Section 3.1.

 

ARTICLE III

DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

 

3.1 Elections to Defer Compensation.

 

(a) General Rule. The amount of Compensation which an Eligible Employee may elect to defer is as follows:

 

(1) Any percentage of Salary up to 50%, provided that such Eligible Employee’s Salary is not reduced to an amount less than the Social Security wage base for the plan year; plus

 

(2) Any percentage or dollar amount of Bonus and commissions up to 100%.

 

(b) Initial Election. Each Eligible Employee may elect to defer Compensation by filing with the Committee an election, on a form provided by the Committee, no later than the last day of his or her Initial Election Period. An election to defer Compensation during an Initial Election Period shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Sections 3.1(d) and (e), and shall be effective with respect to Salary and commissions earned during the first pay period beginning after the date of the election, and to each Bonus the amount of which first becomes fixed and determinable after the date of the election; provided, however, that the initial election will apply to any Bonus payable for a Fiscal Year, or for a performance period ending with the close of a Fiscal Year, only if such election is made on or before June 3 0 of such Fiscal Year.

 

(c) Elections other than Elections during the Initial Election Period. Any Eligible Employee who fails to elect to defer Compensation during his or her Initial Election Period may subsequently become a Participant, and any Eligible Employee who has terminated a prior Salary, commissions or Bonus deferral election may elect to again defer Salary, commissions or Bonuses

 

-4-


or any combination thereof, by filing an appropriate election, on a form provided by the Committee, to defer Compensation. An election to defer Salary and/or commissions must be filed on or before the deadline established by the Committee and will be effective for Salary and/or commissions earned during pay periods beginning after the start of the calendar quarter for which the election is filed. An election to defer a portion of each Bonus for a Fiscal Year must be filed on or before the Bonus Election Date preceding the date the Bonus first becomes fixed and determinable, provided, however, that an election to defer a Bonus for a Fiscal Year, or for a performance period ending with the close of a Fiscal Year, must be made on or before June 30 of such Fiscal Year.

 

(d) Duration of Salary and/or Commissions Deferral Election. Any Salary and/or commissions deferral election made under paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1 shall remain in effect, notwithstanding any change in the Participant’s Salary or commissions, until changed or terminated in accordance with the terms of this paragraph (d); provided, however, that such election shall terminate for Salary or commissions paid while the Participant is not an Eligible Employee. A Participant may increase, decrease or terminate his or her Salary and/or commission deferral election on a quarterly basis by filing a new election with the Committee by the deadline established by the Committee prior to the beginning of the quarter for which the election is effective.

 

(e) Duration of Bonus Deferral Election. Any Bonus deferral election made under paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1 shall be irrevocable and shall apply only to the Bonus or Bonuses payable with respect to services performed during the Fiscal Year or the performance period ending with the close of such Fiscal Year, for which the election is made. For each subsequent Fiscal Year, or performance period ending with the close of any subsequent Fiscal Year, an Eligible Employee may make a new election to defer a percentage of each of his or her Bonuses for that Fiscal Year or performance period. Such election shall be on forms provided by the Committee and shall be made on or before the Bonus Election Date of the Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Bonus otherwise would be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing the election to defer a Bonus for a Fiscal Year, or for a performance period ending with the close of a Fiscal Year, must be made on or before June 30 of such Fiscal Year.

 

3.2 Investment Elections.

 

(a) At the time of making the deferral elections described in Section 3.1, the Participant shall designate, on a form provided by the Committee, which of the types of mutual funds or contracts the Participant’s Accounts will be deemed to be invested in for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to those Accounts. In making the designation

 

-5-


pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Participant may specify that all or any 10% multiple of his or her Accounts be deemed to be invested in one or more of the types of mutual funds or contracts available. Effective as of the beginning of any calendar quarter, a Participant may change the designation made under this Section 3.2 by filing an election prior to the beginning of the quarter in accordance with such rules established by the Committee. If a Participant fails to elect a type of fund under this Section 3.2, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the Fund determined by the Committee to most closely approximate a money market fund.

 

(b) Although the Participant may designate the type of mutual funds or contracts in paragraph (a) above, the Committee shall select from time to time, in its sole discretion, a commercially available fund or contract of each of the available types to be the Funds. The Interest Rate of each such commercially available fund or contract shall be used to determine the amount of earnings to be credited to Participants’ Accounts under Article IV.

 

ARTICLE IV

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

 

4.1 Deferral Account.

 

The Committee shall establish and maintain a Deferral Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Deferral Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“mutual fund subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to a mutual fund or contract elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2(a). A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited as follows:

 

(a) As of the last day of each month, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to Salary and/or commissions deferred by the Participant during each pay period ending in that month in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 3.2(a); that is, the portion of the Participant’s deferred Salary and/or commissions that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of mutual fund shall be credited to the mutual fund subaccount corresponding to that mutual fund;

 

(b) As of the last day of the month in which the Bonus or partial Bonus would have been paid, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the portion of the bonus deferred by the Participant for such Fiscal Year in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 3.2(a); that is, the portion of the Participant’s deferred bonus that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a particular type of mutual fund shall be credited to the mutual fund subaccount corresponding to that mutual fund; and

 

-6-


(c) As of the last day of each month, each mutual fund subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited with earnings in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such mutual fund subaccount as of the last day of the preceding month by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

 

4.2 Company Matching Account.

 

The Committee shall establish and maintain a Company Matching Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Company Matching Account shall be further divided into separate mutual fund subaccounts corresponding to the type of mutual fund or contract elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2(a). A Participant’s Company Matching Account shall be credited as follows:

 

(a) As of the last day of each Plan Year, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Matching Account with an amount equal to 50% of the amount of the Salary, commissions and/or Bonuses deferred by the Participant during each pay period ending in that Plan Year (the “Company Matching Amount”) in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 3.2(a); that is, the portion of the Company Matching Amount which the Participant elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of mutual fund shall be credited to the corresponding mutual fund subaccount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company Matching Amount for a Plan Year, when combined with the maximum Company Matching Contribution which the Participant could have received under the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan or any other retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code maintained by a Participating Company for the same year (assuming deferrals at the maximum permissible rate), exceed 1.5% of the Participant’s aggregate Salary, commissions and Bonuses during such Plan Year.

 

(b) As of the last day of each month, each mutual fund subaccount of a Participant’s Company Matching Account shall be credited with earnings in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such mutual fund subaccount as of the last day of the preceding month by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

6.1 Amount and Time of Distribution.

 

Each Participant (or, in the case of his or her death, the Participant’s Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive a distribution of benefits under this Plan as soon as practicable following his or her Payment Eligibility Date. The amount payable to a Participant shall be the sum of the amounts credited to his or her Deferral Account and Company Matching Account as of his or her Payment Eligibility Date. If a distribution is due to a Participant (or a Participant’s Beneficiary) and, after a reasonable search and a period of three (3) years from the Participant’s Payment Eligibility Date, the Company cannot locate the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary), the Participant’s Accounts shall be forfeited to the Company. If such Participant (or Beneficiary) later files a claim, the Participant’s Accounts shall be reinstated, without any interest or earnings or losses from the date of forfeiture, and the distribution, along with any other distributions which would have been made if the Participant (or Beneficiary) had been located, shall then be made.

 

6.2 Form of Distribution.

 

(a) Lump Sum. The form of the distribution of benefits to a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be a cash lump sum payment.

(1) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, a Participant may elect that his or her benefits be paid in substantially equal annual installments over three to ten years provided that his or her election is filed with the Committee at least two years prior to the date his or her employment with the Company terminates and provided further that the amount of the first annual installment (determined by dividing the account balance by the number of installments elected) would be in an amount at least equal to $20,000.

 

-8-


(2) The first annual installment shall be paid within 90 days following the end of the Plan Year during which the Participant’s employment with the Participating Company terminates. Subsequent installments shall be paid on the annual anniversaries of the first installment payment.

 

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 4.1(c) or 4.2(b) to the contrary, beginning with the month following the month in which the Participant’s employment with the Participating Company terminates and continuing until all amounts credited to his or her Accounts have been distributed, the Participant’s Accounts will be credited with interest, as of the end of each month, at the rate determined by the Committee from time to time. Such rate shall be either (1) the rate of return of a professionally managed fixed income fund for such month or (2) one-twelfth of the annual prime rate of interest declared by Bank of America, N.A. or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and in effect on the first day of such month.

 

6.3 Termination of Participation.

 

The Company reserves the unilateral right to terminate or restrict a Participant’s participation at any time, and distribute all amounts due to such Participant.

 

ARTICLE VII

7.1 Committee Action.

 

The Committee shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a written consent to the action is signed by all members of the Committee and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Committee. A member of the Committee shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as a Participant. The Chairman or any other member or members of the Committee designated by the Chairman may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Committee.

 

7.2 Powers and Duties of the Committee.

(8) To appoint a plan administrator or, any other agent, and to delegate to them such powers and duties in connection with the administration of the Plan as the Committee may from time to time prescribe.

 

7.3 Construction and Interpretation.

 

The Committee shall have full discretion to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, which interpretation or construction shall be final and binding on all parties, including but not limited to the Participating Company and any Participant or Beneficiary.

This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by the Participating Company or provided by the Participating Company under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under state law.

 

7.6 Quarterly Statements.

 

Under procedures established by the Committee, a Participant shall receive a statement with respect to such Participant’s Accounts as soon as practicable following the end of each calendar quarter.

 

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1 Unsecured General Creditor.

 

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of a Participating Company by virtue of this Plan. No assets of a Participating Company shall be held under any trust, or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and all of a Participating Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of such Participating Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Participants, Beneficiaries or any other party under separate agreements and contracts with the Participating Company.

 

-11-


8.2 Restriction Against Assignment.

 

The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by or under the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, no part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, if any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Committee shall direct.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein or in Article VI to the contrary, if prior to a Participant’s Payment Eligibility Date, the Participant’s prospective employer agrees in writing to accept an assignment of the Participant’s interest and Accounts hereunder and to assume all liability therefore on terms acceptable to the Company, then the Participant shall receive no distribution of his interest and Accounts and, instead, the Participant’s interest and Accounts hereunder (and all related liabilities) will be assigned to the Participant’s prospective employer. Following such an assignment and assumption, the Company shall have no liability hereunder to the Participant.

 

8.3 Payment Under Domestic Relations Order.

 

The creation, assignment or recognition of a right of a Participant’s spouse or former spouse (“Alternate Payee”) to all or a portion of a Participant’s Accounts pursuant to a state domestic relations order (“DRO”) shall not constitute a violation of Section 8.2 or any other provision of the Plan, provided such order is consistent with the terms of the Plan and approved by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of a DRO to contrary, the Alternate Payee’s interest in the Plan shall remain the property of the Company and subject to the claims of its creditors until such time as payments are made to the Alternate Payee in accordance with the terms of the DRO. In all cases, any amount assigned to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a DRO shall be subject to Section 9.1 of the Plan as though such amounts were still credited to the Participant’s Accounts.

 

-12-


(a) As soon as practicable after the Committee approves a DRO, the Committee may establish a separate bookkeeping account (“DRO Account”) for the Alternate Payee to which shall be transferred the portion of the Participant’s Accounts which are assigned to the Alternate Payee under the DRO. Any such DRO Account shall, to the extent applicable, be established and maintained in accordance with the terms of Article IV and Article V. Except as a DRO may otherwise provide, if a single amount or percentage of such Participant’s Accounts is assigned to a Alternate Payee, the transfer to the DRO Account established for the Alternate Payee shall be made pro rata from such investments as the assets of the Participant’s Accounts are then deemed to be invested.

 

(b) The Alternate Payee shall be permitted to designate the type of mutual funds or contracts that his or her DRO Account will be deemed to be invested in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2. If the Alternate Payee fails to elect a type of fund or contract, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the Fund determined by the Committee to most closely approximate a money market fund in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2.

 

(c) To the extent provided in the DRO, the Alternate Payee may elect to have his or her DRO Account distributed as follows:

 

(1) In an immediate lump sum;

 

(2) At the time and in the form elected by the Alternate Payee pursuant to Article VI, provided however, that the Alternate Payee must commence distribution of the Alternate Payee’s DRO Account no later than the time that the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, if applicable) commences distribution of his or her Accounts; or

 

(3) At a time and in a form approved by the Committee, provided however, that the Alternate Payee must commence distribution of the Alternate Payee’s DRO Account no later than the time that the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, if applicable) commences distribution of his or her Accounts.

 

(d) If the Alternate Payee dies prior to the time that the Alternate Payee has received all or any portion of the Alternate Payee’s DRO Account, the amounts recorded in such DRO Account may be paid to the beneficiary (“DRO Beneficiary”) designated by the Alternate Payee on forms provided by the Committee. If the Alternate Payee does not make an effective designation of a DRO Beneficiary or if the designated DRO Beneficiary is not living when a distribution is to be made, such amounts shall be paid to the Alternate Payee’s estate, except as a DRO may otherwise provide. Such amounts shall be paid at the time and in the manner permitted under the terms of the Plan and approved by the Committee.

 

-13-


(e) The Participant’s death prior to the time that the Alternate Payee has received all or any portion of the Alternate Payee’s DRO Account shall not affect the Alternate Payee’s DRO Account. The Alternate Payee shall not be awarded any survivor benefits upon the Participant’s death, unless the Participant designates the Alternate Payee as a Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

(f) The Participant’s Accounts shall be reduced by the amounts assigned to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a DRO; provided, however, that any amounts assigned to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a DRO shall continue to be subject to Section 9.1 as though such amounts were still credited to the Participant’s Accounts.

 

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of any DRO to the contrary, the Company reserves the unilateral right to terminate or restrict an Alternate Payee’s participation at any time, and distribute all amounts due to such Alternate Payee.

 

8.4 Withholding.

 

There shall be deducted from deferred Compensation and Company Matching credits when made and from each payment made under the Plan all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company. The Company shall have the right to reduce any deferred Compensation, Company Matching credits and any payment by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

 

8.5 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.

 

The Company may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall reduce any amounts then allocated previously to a Participant’s Accounts. In the event that this Plan is terminated, the amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account and Company Matching Account shall be distributed to the Participant or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of termination.

 

8.6 Governing Law.

 

This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

8.7 Receipt or Release.

 

Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Committee and each Participating Company.

ARTICLE IX

BENEFIT OFFSET

 

9.1 Offset for Certain Benefits Payable Under Split-Dollar Life Insurance Policies.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any benefits payable under this Plan shall be offset by the value of benefits provided by certain life insurance policies as set forth in this Section. Participants in this Plan may own life insurance policies (the “Policy” or “Policies”) purchased on their behalf by the Participating Company. Any such Policy may insure the life of a Participant or the life of another individual. The exercise of ownership rights under these Policies by each Participant is, however, subject to certain conditions (set forth in a “Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreement” between each Participant and the Participating Company pursuant to which the Participating Company holds a security interest in the Policy) and, if the Participant fails to meet the conditions set forth in the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, the Participating Company may exercise its security interest in the Policy and cause the Participant to lose certain benefits under the Policy. In the event that a Participant satisfies the conditions specified in Section 5 of the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, so that the Participant becomes entitled to exercise rights under that section free from the Participating Company’s security interest, or the Participating Company’s security interest is otherwise released, the value of those benefits shall constitute an offset to any benefits otherwise payable under this Plan (provided, however, that any death benefit payable under a Policy on the life of a Participant upon the Participant’s death shall not constitute an offset to the benefits payable under the Plan). This offset (the “First Offset Value”) shall be equal to the value of benefits payable under the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, that is, the cash surrender value of the Policy. The

First Offset Value shall then be compared to the Participant’s Accounts, and the amounts credited to the Accounts shall be reduced, but not to less than zero, by the First Offset Value; provided, however, that any portion of the Accounts which is attributable to Compensation deferred during Plan Years in which the Participating Company did not pay additional premiums on the Policy in amounts equal to the amount of Compensation deferred by the Participant under this Plan shall not be reduced by the First Offset Value, and the Committee shall maintain subaccounts of a Participant’s Accounts to the extent necessary to determine that portion of each Account which is subject to offset and the portion which is not subject to offset. The First Offset Value shall first be applied to the Participant’s Company Matching Account and then to the Participant’s Deferral Account.

 

(b) If the Policy in Section 9.1(a) is not on the life of the Participant and the insured dies prior to distribution of benefits under this Plan, then the value of the benefits received by the Participant or other Beneficiary designated by the Participant under the Policy will offset the Participant’s Accounts under this Plan to the extent provided in this subsection (b). This offset (the “Second Offset Value”) shall be equal to the amount of death benefit payable to the Participant, or other Beneficiary designated by the Participant, divided by the Tax Adjustment Factor. This Second Offset Value shall then be compared to the Participant’s Accounts, and the amounts credited to the Accounts shall be reduced, but not to be less than zero, by the Second Offset Value; provided, however, that any portion of the Accounts which is attributable to Compensation deferred during Plan Years in which the Participating Company did not pay additional premiums on the Policy in amounts equal to the amount of Compensation deferred by the Participant under this Plan shall not be reduced by the Second Offset Value, and the Committee shall maintain subaccounts of a Participant’s Accounts to the extent necessary to determine that portion of each Account which is subject to offset and the portion which is not subject to offset. The Second Offset Value shall first be applied to the Participant’s Company Matching Account and then to the Participant’s Deferral Account.

 

(c) The reduction described in Section 9.1(a) shall be made as of the date on which the Participant becomes entitled to exercise rights under the Policy free of the Participating Company’s security interest, and the reduction described in Section 9.1(b) shall be made as of the date on which the Participant or designated Beneficiary receives the death proceeds.

 

(d) In the event of an offset as described herein, any election to receive distribution of the amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts in the form of installments shall be deemed to be revoked, and any benefits which are or become payable under this Plan after such offset shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Payment Eligibility Date.
