Section 1.03. Amendment of Section 2.07. Section 2.07 of the AMD Fab 36 Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement shall be deleted and replaced by the following:

Section 2.07. Method of Payment.

Is the payment made in a currency deviating from the invoice currency, the relevant payment amount results from the conversion with the exchange rate of the invoicing according to Section 2.06 (a).”.

Section 1.04. Amendment of the Definition of Total Costs. Annex 1 paragraph (26) (Total Costs) sub-paragraph c) to the AMD Fab 36 Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement shall be deleted and replaced by the following:

  “(j) all amounts invoiced by AMD Saxony and AMD Inc. to AMD Fab 36 according to the Fab 36 Management Service Agreement shall be included in the Total Costs. The charge to AMD Fab 36 Holding shall, however, only amount to 100% of the amounts invoiced. The “Applicable Percentage” of 115% shall not be charged;

 

  (k) with respect to services rendered by AMD Fab 36 to affiliates which are invoiced at cost plus mark-up, the Total Costs shall not be reduced by this mark-up.”

As a matter of clarification, the parties acknowledge that currency losses or profits incurred in connection with loans or other financial indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Euro are taken into account in determining the Total Costs already based upon the existing contractual provisions.

ARTICLE II

Miscellaneous

Section 2.01. 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 2.02.

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 2.05.

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 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.
