ARTICLE VI

Subsidies Undertaking

SECTION 6.1 Subsidies. The Project will be supported by the following subsidies and grants from the Free State of Saxony (hereinafter, the “Subsidies”):

(i)

a dedicated purpose investment grant in an aggregate amount of DM 476,687,000 (four hundred seventy six million six hundred eighty seven thousand Deutsche Marks) which, together with the investment subsidies in an aggregate amount of DM 23,813,000 (twenty three million eight hundred thirteen thousand Deutsche Marks), totals an aggregate amount of DM 500,500,000 (five hundred million five hundred thousand Deutsche Marks); and

SECTION 6.2 Payment of Shortfall. The granting of the Subsidies is contingent on the adherence by the Sponsors and AMD Saxonia to particular conditions, requirements, and covenants. If, for any reason whatsoever, any AMD Company or any Affiliate of any AMD Company breaches any such conditions, requirements, or covenants, and, accordingly, causes the Subsidies not to be paid or, as a result of any such breach, the Subsidies are required to be repaid (in either such case the amount thereof being hereinafter called a “Shortfall”), then, without delay following its or their receipt of a demand therefor by the Agent, either:

(i)

AMD Holding shall contribute Equity Capital (or other contributions to AMD Saxonia’s capital reserves) to AMD Saxonia, and AMD Inc. shall cause AMD Holding to so contribute to AMD Saxonia (and AMD Inc. shall, to the extent necessary, contribute sufficient funds, or otherwise cause sufficient funds to be made available, to AMD Holding as shall be necessary to enable AMD Holding to so contribute to AMD Saxonia); and/or

(ii)

one or both Sponsors shall make Sponsors’ Loans to AMD Saxonia,

in either case in an aggregate amount (and, if the Subsidies have not yet been provided, as and when the Subsidies, but for such breach, would have otherwise been provided) equal to the Shortfall.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(i)

the obligations of the Sponsors contained in this Article VI are in addition to, and not in limitation of, their obligations contained elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Operative Documents, and shall survive Completion; and

(ii)

the Sponsors shall not be relieved of the foregoing obligations by virtue of:

(a)

any prior Sponsors’ Loans made by the Sponsors (or either of them), including without limitation, the additional Sponsors’ Loan in an amount of $34,000,000 made by AMD Inc. to AMD Saxonia on 26 September 1997 and referred to in Section 3.5 above and the Class C Sponsors’ Loan in an amount of $ 70,000,000 made by AMD Inc. to AMD Saxonia on 30 June 1999 and referred to in Section 3.4 above;

(b)

any prior contributions of Equity Capital (or other contributions to AMD Saxonia’s capital reserves) by AMD Holding;

(c)

any prior Revolving Loans made by the Sponsors (or either of them); or

(d)

provided, however, that the Sponsors shall have no liability as aforesaid in respect of any Subsidies which fail to be provided at any time after the foreclosure by the Security Agent upon any security provided by the Security Documents, unless such failure is attributable to any such breach by AMD Inc. or any of its Affiliates (other than AMD Saxonia or AMD Holding, if then Affiliates of AMD Inc.) occurring after such foreclosure.

the failure by either Sponsor or the relevant Additional Partner Company to comply with its respective obligations under this Agreement, the Conversion Documents, the Amendment Agreements, the Sponsors’ Guaranty, the Sponsors’ Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Facility Agreement (subject, in the case of Indemnified Liabilities arising from Article XIII, to the provisions of Section 13.8);

(ii)

the inaccuracy by either Sponsor of any of its representations and warranties contained in any of the Operative Documents to which it is a party as and when made or reaffirmed as the case may be (provided that AMD Inc. shall have no liability under this Section 14.2 in respect of any inaccuracy by AMD Holding of the representation and warranty contained in Section 12.2 (xi)); and

In no event shall AMD Inc. indemnify the Indemnitees against any liabilities of AMD Saxony LLC or, following the Substitution, AMD Admin, arising solely by virtue of AMD Saxony LLC, or, following the Substitution, AMD Admin, being generally liable for the obligations of AMD Saxonia as the general partner of AMD Saxonia.

SECTION 14.3 Undertaking to Contribute. AMD Inc. hereby undertakes that in the event:

Either: (A) a liability is imposed on AMD Saxonia, AMD Holding or AMD Admin as a result of the German tax authorities re-characterising interest on the Sponsors’ Loans or Revolving Loans as dividends; or (B) a liability is imposed on AMD Saxonia, AMD Holding or AMD Admin as a result of the German tax authorities ruling that AMD Saxonia, AMD Holding or AMD Admin, as the case may be, is not sufficiently profitable (any such liability referred to in (A) and (B) being together, the “Liabilities”), and, in the case of either (A) or (B)

(ii)

AMD Saxonia, AMD Holding and/or AMD Admin make payments to the German tax authorities in respect of the Liabilities as required by German law,

AMD Inc. shall advance Sponsors’ Loans to AMD Saxonia or contribute Equity Capital (or other contributions to AMD Saxonia’s capital reserves) to AMD Holding (and AMD Inc. shall to the extent necessary and depending on where the Liability arises, contribute sufficient funds or

To the extent AMD Saxonia has drawn all amounts available for drawing under the Revolving Loan Facility Agreement prior to the payment of such Liabilities, such Sponsors’ Loans or Equity Capital contribution shall be made at the same time as the payment of the Liabilities.

To the extent AMD Saxonia has not drawn all amounts available for drawing under the Revolving Loan Facility Agreement prior to the payment of such Liabilities, such Sponsors’ Loans or Equity Capital contribution shall be made at the time that AMD Saxonia draws all amounts available for drawing under the Revolving Loan Facility Agreement.

The Sponsors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify, exonerate, and hold the Agent, and each of the officers, directors, employees of the Agent (herein collectively called the “SAB Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses (herein collectively called the “Indemnified SAB Liabilities”), which may be incurred by or asserted against the SAB Indemnitees or any SAB Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to, or in connection with, the SAB Related Agreements (other than any such Indemnified SAB Liabilities finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an SAB Indemnitee), and, to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Sponsors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified SAB Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 14.5 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, etc. Each of the Sponsors and Additional Partner Companies hereby agree that:

(a)

All payments by such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company hereunder shall be made to the Person entitled thereto in Same Day Funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings, or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on such payments, but excluding taxes imposed on or measured by such Person’s net income or receipts or the net income or receipts of any branch thereof (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by either of the Sponsors or the Additional Partner Companies hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule, or regulation, then such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company will, subject to Section 14.5(d),

(i)

pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)

promptly forward to such Person (with a copy to the Security Agent) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Security Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Person will equal the full amount such Person would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Person entitled to receive a payment under this Agreement with respect to any payment received by such Person hereunder, such Person may pay such Taxes and the Sponsors or Additional Partner Companies will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest, or expenses, but only (in the case of penalties or interest) to the extent not resulting from a negligent or wilful failure to pay any or all of such Taxes by such Person, as the case may be) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Taxes been asserted.

(b)

The additional amount or amounts that either Sponsor or Additional Partner Company shall be required to pay pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 14.5(a) shall be reduced, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the amount of the offsetting tax benefits, if any, as determined by the relevant Person in the exercise of its sole discretion, which such Person actually receives and utilises as a result of such Sponsor’s or Additional Partner Company’s payment under clause (i) of Section 14.5(a) to the relevant authority (it being expressly understood and agreed that such Person shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to claim or utilise any such benefit which may be available to it unless it believes in good faith that to do so would be inconsistent with its internal tax and other policies or if, in its good faith judgment, it would be disadvantaged in any respect with respect to its tax position or planning).

(c)

Subject to the relevant Person complying with Section 14.5(d) below, if any of the Sponsors or Additional Partner Companies fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable recipient hereunder the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company shall indemnify such Person for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by such Person as a result of any such failure.

(d)

Each Person entitled to receive a payment hereunder that is entitled to claim an exemption (either on its own account or for the account of the

relevant Sponsor or Additional Partner Company) in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 14.5 in respect of any payments made by a Sponsor or Additional Partner Company hereunder shall, within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company, provide such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company with such certificates as may be appropriate in order to obtain the benefits of such exemption.

(e)

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Sponsors or the Additional Partner Companies hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Sponsors or Additional Partner Companies contained in this Section 14.5 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the loans and other financial accommodations made to AMD Saxonia under the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 14.6 Judgment. The Sponsors and Additional Partner Companies hereby agree that:

(a)

If, for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Euro into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Security Agent could purchase Euro with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b)

The obligation of each of the Sponsors or the Additional Partner Companies in respect of any sum due from it to the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, or any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Euro be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, or such Bank, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, or such Bank, as the case may be, may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Euro with such other currency; in the event that the Euro so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, or any Bank, in Euro, such Sponsor or Additional Partner Company, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, and each Bank against such loss, and if the Euro so purchased exceed the sum originally due to the Security Agent, the Agent, or such Bank in Euro, the Security Agent, the Agent, the Paying Agent, or such Bank, as the case may be, shall remit to the relevant Sponsor or Additional Partner Company such excess.

AMD Inc. hereby waives, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries other than AMD Saxonia to waive, any and all rights, claims and/or causes of action such Person now has or in the future may have against AMD Saxonia, its successors and assigns, the Agent, the Security Agent, the Paying Agent, any Bank, any receiver appointed to operate the Plant, or a third party purchaser of the capital stock, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of AMD Saxonia (herein collectively referred to as the “Beneficiaries” and individually as a “Beneficiary”), based on: (i) its use, in any manner whatsoever, of any Non-Proprietary Know-how or of Information Residuals (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement); (ii) its use, within the scope of the license granted in Section 3(a) of the License Agreement, of the Developed Intellectual Property (as defined in the License Agreement), or (iii) its use, in any manner whatsoever, of Post Research Agreement AMD Saxonia Developed Improvements or Post Research Agreement AMD Saxonia Developed Intellectual Property (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement). The preceding sentence notwithstanding, AMD Inc. does not waive any rights, claims or causes of action based on the infringement and/or misappropriation of any patents, copyrights, mask works, trademarks and trade secrets, whether registered or not, which are owned by AMD Inc. or by an Affiliate of AMD Inc. other than AMD Saxonia and not licensed to AMD Saxonia under the License Agreement; provided, however, that the use of Information Residuals (as so defined) shall not be deemed to constitute an infringement and/or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights of AMD Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries (other than AMD Saxonia).

(b)

each Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, following the termination of the AMD Saxonia Wafer Purchase Agreement, the operation of the Plant by AMD Saxonia, its successors and assigns, or by a Beneficiary shall not, absent a separate infringement or other unlawful violation, under the License Agreement or otherwise, of a proprietary, substantial, and identifiable right of AMD Inc., or any of its Subsidiaries other than AMD Saxonia, constitute: (i) a breach of the terms of the License Agreement or of any of the Service Agreements (as defined in the License Agreement), or (ii) an infringement upon any intellectual property right of AMD Inc. or its Subsidiaries other than AMD Saxonia; and

(c)

except where such failure was due to a breach by AMD Saxonia of its covenants to cooperate with AMD Inc., if AMD Inc. fails to complete the document removal process set forth in Section 9 of the License Agreement within the period required therein following the termination of the AMD Saxonia Research Agreement, AMD Inc. and its Subsidiaries other than AMD Saxonia shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights, claims and/or causes of action they have or in the future may have against AMD Saxonia, its successors and assigns, or against a Beneficiary based on the disclosure or use, for any purpose, by such Person of any documentation

left in the Plant on the grounds that such documentation or the information contained therein is proprietary to AMD Inc. or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries other than (in either case) AMD Saxonia.

ARTICLE XV

Miscellaneous

SECTION 15.1 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or the Security Agent in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Security Agent at law or otherwise. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by either Sponsor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Agent and the Security Agent. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by either Sponsor from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on either Sponsor in any case shall entitle such Sponsor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 15.2 Severability of Provisions. In case any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall remain unaffected. The parties hereto shall have an obligation to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision by a valid and enforceable provision which approximates best the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

SECTION 15.3 Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate on the day that AMD Saxonia has paid in full all of the Primary Secured Obligations, and the Banks shall have no other or further commitments under the Loan Agreement; provided, that such obligations shall automatically revive and be reinstated if and to the extent that AMD Saxonia shall subsequently have obligations to any Secured Party under or in connection with any of the Operative Documents.

SECTION 15.4 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that neither AMD Inc. nor AMD Holding nor the Additional Partner Companies shall have the right to transfer or assign their respective rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Security Agent.

SECTION 15.5 Notice. All notices, demands, instructions, and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, return receipt requested, or by pre-paid telex, TWX, or telegram, or by pre-paid courier service, or by telecopier, and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that such writing is delivered or sent to the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.5.

All certificates, reports, notices, and other documents and communications given or delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language and, if reasonably requested by the Agent, shall be accompanied by a certified German translation thereof.
