d.	[****] Waiver Payments


i.	Intentionally omitted.

ii.

Quarterly Payments. As partial consideration for the [****] Waivers, beginning in [****] 2017 with respect to [****] Waiver Products [****], and beginning in [****] 2017 with respect to [****] Waiver Products [****], AMD shall pay FoundryCo, on a quarterly basis, payments on a per-wafer basis to be calculated pursuant to Schedule 2(d)(i)(“[****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments”), such that for each relevant year in Column A, the total production wafer volume for such [****] Waiver Products supplied to AMD by [****] in the aggregate during such fiscal quarter is multiplied by the dollar amount in Column B that corresponds to [****] in Column C. The term “Total AMD [****] Wafers” means the [****]. The term “AMD [****] Wafers” means [****]. For purposes of calculating the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments, any AMD [****] Wafer volumes that were included in AMD’s Binding Forecasts to FoundryCo and were accepted by FoundryCo in writing, but that AMD subsequently purchased from [****] solely because FoundryCo subsequently informed AMD in writing that FoundryCo would not make the necessary capacity available to AMD (“Decommitted Wafers”), will be treated as if they had been purchased from FoundryCo rather than from [****]; provided, however, if AMD has not made cumulative [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments to FoundryCo totaling at least [****] for wafers purchased by AMD from [****] other than such Decommitted Wafers (as reconciled by the annual true up process set forth in subsection 2.d.iii below), AMD will remain obligated to pay the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payment amount for the quantity of Decommitted Wafers as necessary for FoundryCo to receive a cumulative total of [****] in [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments. In order to facilitate and formalize the Parties’

Exhibit 10.3

communications regarding forecasts, the Parties will commence [****] forecast interlock meetings beginning in September 2016. During such [****] meetings, the Parties will discuss in good faith AMD’s forecast of [****] Wafers during the Binding Forecast Period and FoundryCo’s supply capability for such [****] Wafers. Following each [****] interlock, the Parties will memorialize FoundryCo’s acceptance of the agreed portions of AMD’s [****] Wafer forecasts with respect to the Binding Forecast Period in writing, which writing may be fulfilled by an email exchange between each Party’s designated member of the Partnership Committee expressly setting forth the agreement with respect to the applicable forecast and including the phrases “Agreed by AMD” and “Agreed by Globalfoundries” respectively. Any disagreements between the Parties with respect to [****] Wafer forecast commitments shall be escalated pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Agreement. AMD will calculate the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments no later than [****] following the end of each fiscal quarter in which AMD purchased any [****] Waiver Product from [****], and shall pay the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments no later than [****] of the end of the quarter in which the purchases occurred. AMD’s obligation to make timely [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments is unconditional, and AMD’s failure to make timely [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments shall, in addition to any other remedies available to FoundryCo in this Agreement, or at law or equity, result in the termination of the [****] Waivers as follows: (A) for a failure to make a timely [****] Waiver Payment where such payment default is not disputed by AMD in good faith, FoundryCo may terminate the [****] Waivers following [****] written notice to AMD if such payment default is not cured by AMD within such [****] period; and (B) for a payment default disputed by AMD in good faith, a Party may escalate the dispute to the Partnership Committee, and if the Partnership Committee is unable to resolve the dispute within [****] of escalation, then the dispute will be escalated to the Chief Executive Officers of AMD and FoundryCo for resolution. If the Chief Executive Officers discuss and fail to resolve the dispute within [****] of escalation, then FoundryCo may terminate the [****] Waivers upon written notice of termination to AMD.

iii.

Annual True Up. At the conclusion of each fiscal year and promptly following the payment of the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments for the fourth fiscal quarter of the relevant year, AMD shall calculate, pursuant to Schedule 2(d)(i) for each relevant year in Column A, the total production wafer volume for such [****] Waiver Products on an aggregate basis supplied to AMD by [****] during such fiscal year multiplied by the dollar amount in Column B that corresponds to [****] in Column C (such amount, the “[****] Annual [****] Waiver Payments”). To the extent the aggregate [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments received by FoundryCo for the relevant year exceed the [****] Annual [****] Waiver Payments, then AMD shall invoice FoundryCo for the difference and FoundryCo shall reimburse

Exhibit 10.3

AMD no later than [****] from receipt of the invoice. To the extent the aggregate [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments received by FoundryCo for the relevant year are less than the [****] Annual [****] Waiver Payments, then AMD shall pay FoundryCo the difference no later than [****] from the end of the calendar year. Illustrative examples of [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments are set forth in Schedule 2(d)(ii) hereof.


e.	[**] Waiver Products [**]

AMD shall purchase from FoundryCo at least [****] of its [****] Waiver Products (relating to [****]), as measured on a [****] basis, by the end of [****]. By the end of [****], AMD shall purchase from FoundryCo at least [****] of its [****] Waiver Products (relating to [****]), as measured on a [****] basis. The foregoing [****] and [****] amounts are hereinafter referred to as “[****] Targets”.

The Parties agree that with respect to the failure by AMD to achieve the [****] Targets only, FoundryCo’s sole and exclusive remedy for failure shall be AMD’s timely payment in full of the Mitigation Payments for the corresponding fiscal years pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Sixth Amendment (“Exclusive Remedy”), provided that the Exclusive Remedy shall not apply if one or more of the following conditions have occurred:

(a) AMD provides FoundryCo with an inaccurate forecast with respect to the [****] Waiver Products to be manufactured at FoundryCo that exceeds the applicable [****] and FoundryCo reasonably relies on such forecast to its detriment, subject to FoundryCo providing prior written notice to AMD of any FoundryCo commitment, purchase, installation or development of manufacturing capacity or related R&D expenses to meet AMD’s forecast in excess of the applicable [****];

(b) AMD fails to satisfy the [****] Targets despite the absence of material barriers to compliance; or

(c) AMD fails to comply with any of the exclusivity requirements of the Agreement, including without limitation the requirements set forth in Section 2 of this Sixth Amendment.


ii.	In order to support the achievement of the [****] Targets, AMD will tape out the Products listed below to FoundryCo pursuant to the dates below, and AMD will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the target Product ramp dates below:

[****]

Exhibit 10.3


iii.	AMD agrees that its tape out and ramp support obligations set forth in Section 2(e)(ii) above related to the [**] Waiver Products apply even if the Products are or are planned to be manufactured at a different Process Node or technology node (e.g., []) at [**]. AMD may not avoid the requirements in Sections 2(c) through 2(e) by changing the names of Products or their scope.

iv.

Furthermore, in support of the transition of [****] Waiver Products back to FoundryCo, AMD agrees to provide the following information and cooperation (collectively, the “[****] Plan”) to FoundryCo within [****] following execution of this Sixth Amendment [****]: (1) AMD [****] data requirements to assist FoundryCo in achieving supplier readiness; (2) scheduling information, including [****]; and (3) overview of AMD’s [****] strategy plans for [****], including AMD’s good faith estimate of the pricing necessary to [****], and [****] plans, including [****]. AMD shall update the [****] Plan on at least a [****] basis.

FoundryCo agrees that, in order to facilitate AMD’s efforts to [****], FoundryCo will provide AMD with [****] at [****], [****], and a total of [****] for design support (“[****] Design Support Payment”), with such [****] Design Support Payment provided to reimburse AMD on a [****] basis for design support expenses as incurred, to be paid within [****] following the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, beginning in the [****], and as expenses are incurred by AMD, subject to receiving documentation of expenditures reasonably acceptable to FoundryCo, with the remaining balance to be paid within [****] following tape out at FoundryCo. AMD’s [****] expenditure amount and documentation may be submitted for payment via email from AMD’s CFO to FoundryCo’s CFO.


vi.	AMD and FoundryCo will discuss in good faith and mutually agree on [**], such discussion to include among other factors [**].


f.	[****] Waiver

Subject to AMD’s timely payment of the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments and [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments pursuant to Sections 2(d) and 2(g), the fixed payment pursuant to Section 2(k) and any Mitigation Payments owed pursuant to Section 4 of this Sixth Amendment, and AMD’s continued compliance with Section 8 of this Sixth Amendment, FoundryCo agrees to waive any claim it may have arising out of or relating to the requirements of the Agreement with respect to the tape out and sourcing by AMD from [****] for the [****] Product [****] (the “[****] Waiver Products,” and the waiver relating to such [****] Waiver Product, the “[****] Waiver”), provided that with respect to the [****] Waiver Product, the [****] Waiver will be effective only if (a) FoundryCo fails to [****] by [****], if [****], and (b) AMD has [****]. In any event, if FoundryCo fails to [****],

Exhibit 10.3

AMD and FoundryCo shall exercise good faith efforts to [****]. For clarification, the requirements for [****] shall be as mutually agreed by the parties in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, AMD and FoundryCo agree that any future related Products or derivatives relating to or emanating from the [****] Waiver Products, other than minor enhancements or modifications of the foregoing that result in Products that could be sold as substitutes for [****] Waiver Products without changes in product features, shall not be covered by any [****] Waiver. Changes in product features shall include, without limitation, [****]. To the extent that AMD believes that a minor enhancement or modification of any of the [****] Waiver Products is covered by the [****] Waiver, no later than [****] prior to taping out the enhanced or modified Product (or for such [****], promptly following AMD’s receipt of [****]), AMD shall provide FoundryCo with a written notice that includes a description of the enhancement or modification. In lieu of the notice requirements set forth in Section 15.4 of the Agreement, the notice requirement may be fulfilled via an email to the FoundryCo non-CFO Partnership Committee members. For the avoidance of doubt, no waivers exist for any other [****] Product and any such [****] Products are to be exclusively taped out to and manufactured by FoundryCo.

ii.

AMD shall purchase at least [****] of its [****] Waiver Products (if applicable pursuant to Section 2(f)(i), relating to [****]) from FoundryCo, with such purchase requirements to be treated in the same manner as the [****] Targets for [****] Waiver products pursuant to Section 2(e) above, and subject to the Exclusive Remedy unless one of the exclusions set forth in Section 2(e)(i) (a), (b) or (c) applies with respect to [****] Waiver Products. In order to achieve such [****] Waiver Products purchase requirements at FoundryCo, AMD shall also [****]. For purposes of clarification, FoundryCo shall not be required to [****]. Furthermore, the Parties will agree upon a plan for information and cooperation consistent with the requirements in the [****] Plan.


iii.	AMD agrees that its obligations of this Sixth Amendment related to the [**] Waiver Product apply even if the product is or is planned to be manufactured at a different Process Node or technology node at [**].


g.	[**] Quarterly [**] Waiver Payments

As partial consideration for the [****] Waiver, AMD agrees to pay to FoundryCo, on a quarterly basis, payments on a per-wafer basis (“[****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments”), with the amounts and commencement date of such [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments to be mutually agreed by the Parties. The Parties agree that the framework for these payments shall be substantially similar to the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments pursuant to Section 2(d) above and the related annual true-up mechanism. If the Parties

Exhibit 10.3

are unable to agree upon the amounts and commencement date of the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments by [****], such issue shall be escalated to the Partnership Committee, with escalation to the Parties’ Chief Executive Officers per Section 3.2 of the Agreement if needed. If the Parties have not agreed upon the amount of the [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments by [****], the [****] Waiver may be revoked by FoundryCo’s Chief Executive Officer providing written notice of revocation to AMD’s Chief Executive Officer. AMD’s obligation to make timely [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments is unconditional, and AMD’s failure to make timely [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payments shall, in addition to any other remedies available to FoundryCo in this Agreement, or at law or equity, result in the termination of the [****] Waiver and [****] Waivers pursuant to the same process, notice and timelines for termination for a [****] Quarterly [****] Waiver Payment default as set forth in Section 2(d)(ii) above.


h.	[****] Limited Waiver

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2(h)(i)-(iv) below, FoundryCo agrees to waive any claim it may have arising out of or relating to the requirements of the Agreement with respect to the tape out and sourcing by AMD from [****] of [****] Wafers of AMD’s [****] Product (the “[****] Waiver Product”, and a waiver relating to such Product, a “[****] Limited Waiver”). For the avoidance of doubt, AMD and FoundryCo agree that any future related products or derivatives related to or emanating from the [****] Waiver Product, other than minor enhancements or modifications of the foregoing that result in Products that could be sold as substitutes for such Product, without changes in product features, shall not be covered by the [****] Limited Waiver. Changes in product features shall include, without limitation, [****]. To the extent that AMD believes that a minor enhancement or modification of the [****] Waiver Product is covered by the [****] Limited Waiver, no later than [****] prior to taping out the enhanced or modified Product (or for such enhancements or modifications that AMD decides to implement within such [****] period, promptly following such decision), AMD shall provide FoundryCo with a written notice that includes a description of the enhancement or modification.

ii.	For the purposes of this Sixth Amendment, the following definitions shall apply:


1.	“[****]” shall for a given fiscal year equal the dollar amounts set forth for that year in Schedule 4(a)(ii)(3) attached hereto.

Exhibit 10.3


2.	“[****]” for a given fiscal year shall be as set forth for that year in Schedule 4(a)(ii)(5) attached hereto.


3.	“[**]” shall mean for a given fiscal year the dollar amount equal to [**].

2.	PRIOR AMENDMENTS


a.	Section 1.48 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“1.48 FoundryCo Sales Entities shall mean USOpCo, GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore Pte. Ltd. (a private limited Singapore company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FoundryCo) and any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of FoundryCo to which FoundryCo has delegated the responsibility to process purchase orders from AMD and to offer to sell and sell Products to AMD in accordance with this Agreement.”


b.	Section 15.11(c) of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(c) Any Dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received shall be referred to, and shall be finally and exclusively resolved by, arbitration under the LCIA Rules then in effect, as amended by this Section 15.11, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 15.11. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three. Each party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators nominated by the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree upon and nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as Chairman of the Tribunal. If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the LCIA Court shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as Chairman of the Tribunal. It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator. In the event that a sole claimant or the claimant parties, on the one side, or a sole respondent or the respondent parties, on the other side, fails to nominate its/their arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Any award issued by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and, subject to this Section 15.11, may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any of the Parties. In the event any party subject to such final and binding award desires to have it confirmed by a final order of a court, the only court which may do so shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England; provided however, that nothing in this sentence shall prejudice or prevent a party from enforcing the arbitrators’ final and binding award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate

Exhibit 10.3

remedy. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, prior to the formation of the Tribunal, the Parties have the right to apply exclusively to any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial authority located in London, England for interim or conservatory measures, including, without limitation, to compel arbitration (an “Interim Relief Proceeding”). Furthermore, the Parties agree that, after the formation of the Tribunal, the arbitrators shall have the sole and exclusive power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and any then pending Interim Relief Proceeding shall be discontinued without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties thereto. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators pursuant to the terms hereof, the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 15.11; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 15.11).”


c.	The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration of the 5-year Period.


10.	ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
