TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”), collectively with the accompanying Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and any terms and conditions for your country contained in the Appendix hereto, as applicable (the “Appendix”), comprise your agreement (the “Agreement”) with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), regarding restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) awarded under the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan.


1.    Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.  The RSUs will vest on the date(s) shown on the Grant Notice provided that you continue to be a Service Provider through each vesting date.


2.    Issuance of Shares.  After the RSUs vest, the shares (“Shares”) of Company common stock  will be issued in your name as soon as practicable after you have satisfied any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 5) and subject to any country-specific terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of Section 5 of these Terms and Conditions, in no event shall the Company deliver the vested RSUs to you later than March 15 following the calendar year in which the respective portion of the RSUs vest.


3.    Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, the RSUs may not be pledged, assigned, sold or otherwise transferred.  


4.    Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(d) of these Terms and Conditions, if your status as a Service Provider terminates for any reason before the vesting date(s) shown on the Grant Notice, your unvested RSUs will be cancelled and you will not have any right to receive Shares pursuant to the RSUs.


5.    Responsibility for Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former 







Exhibit 10.79


employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  
(a)    withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; 
(b)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or 
(c)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs.  
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
Finally, you must pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6.    Other Terms and Conditions.  


(a)    The Plan.  The Agreement is further subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.  Only certain provisions of the Plan are described in the Agreement.  As a condition to your receipt of the RSUs and the Shares upon vesting, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Plan. 


(b)    Stockholder Rights.  Until the Shares are issued, you have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs.


(c)    Employment Relationship.  Nothing in the Agreement will confer on you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or the Employer or interfere with or restrict rights of the Company or the Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge you at any time.

Exhibit 10.79




(d)    Change of Control.  If your employment is terminated by the Company or the Employer for any reason other than for Misconduct or, if applicable, by you as a result of a Constructive Termination, within one year after a Change of Control, then the RSUs will become fully vested upon the date of termination.


(e)    Declination of RSUs.   If you wish to decline your RSUs, you must complete and file the Declination of Grant form with Corporate Compensation and Benefits by the deadline for such declination.  Your declination is non-revocable, and you will not receive a grant of stock options or other compensation as replacement for the declined RSUs.


(f)    Recovery in the Event of a Financial Restatement. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Administrator will review all equity-based compensation (including the RSUs) awarded to employees at the Senior Vice President level and above.  If the Administrator (in its sole discretion) determines that you were directly involved with fraud, misconduct or gross negligence that contributed to or resulted in such accounting restatement, the Administrator may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, recover for the benefit of the Company all or a portion of the equity-based compensation awarded to you, including (without limitation) by cancelation, forfeiture, repayment and disgorgement of profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company; provided, however, the Administrator will not have the authority to recover any equity-based compensation awarded more than 18 months prior to the date of the first public issuance or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (whichever first occurs) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.   In determining whether to seek recovery, the Administrator may take into account any considerations it deems appropriate, including Applicable Laws and whether the assertion of a recovery claim may prejudice the interests of the Company in any related proceeding or investigation.
7.    Nature of Grant.  In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:


(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;


(b)    the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past; 


(c)    all decisions with respect to future RSU grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 


(d)    your participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with the Company or the Employer and will not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Employer to terminate your employment relationship at any time;


(e)    you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;

Exhibit 10.79




(f)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the value and income of such RSUs and Shares, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 


(g)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the value and income of such RSUs and Shares, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;


(h)    the RSU grant and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or other service relationship with the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates;


(i)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 


(j)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of your status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of Applicable Laws), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer, any Parent or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, waive your ability, if any, to bring such claim against the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and release the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, you will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary, or reasonably requested by the Company, to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; 


(k)    in the event of termination of your status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of Applicable Laws), your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed or providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable local laws (e.g., active employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to Applicable Laws); the Administrator will have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of your RSU grant (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(l)    the RSUs and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger of the Company with or into another company or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; and
(m)    the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States: 

    
	
			
	 
	4
	 






Exhibit 10.79


(1)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the value and income of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and
(2)    none of the Company, the Employer, or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between any local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs, any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.


8.    No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.


9.    Data Privacy.  You consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement and any other Award Documentation by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and their respective Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.


You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).  


You understand that Data may be transferred to a Company-designated Plan broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative.  You authorize the Company, its Plan broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources

Exhibit 10.79


representative.  Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Company or Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.


10.    Compliance with Laws and Regulations.  The issuance and transfer of the Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and you with all applicable state, federal and foreign laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer; and, you understand that the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Company’s common stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the SEC or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting or settlement as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.  The Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares.  Further, you agree that the Company has unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.


11.    Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under the Agreement.  The Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained herein, the Agreement will be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.


12.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability.  The Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California, excluding that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the Company and you evidenced by this grant or the Agreement, the Company and you hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation will be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is

Exhibit 10.79


made and/or to be performed.  If any provision of the Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.


13.    Further Instruments.  You agree to execute further instruments and to take further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of the Agreement.


14.    Administrator Authority. The Administrator has the power to interpret the Plan and the Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Shares subject to the RSUs have vested).  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon you, the Company and all other interested persons.  The Administrator will not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Agreement. 


15.    Language.  If you have received the Agreement or any other Award Documentation translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.


16.    Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.


17.    Imposition of Other Requirements.      The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with Applicable Laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


18.    Headings.  The captions and headings of the Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing the Agreement.  All references herein to Sections will refer to Sections of these Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise noted.


19.    Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Award Documentation, the RSU grant will be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in an Appendix to these Terms and Conditions.  Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  The Appendix constitutes part of the Agreement.

Exhibit 10.79


20.    Waiver.  You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of the Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other Participant.
21.    Entire Agreement. The Plan, these Terms and Conditions, the Appendix and the Grant Notice constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.
22.    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.  You acknowledge that, depending on your country of residence, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.
23.    Notices.  Any notice to be given under the terms of the Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to you shall be addressed to you at your last address reflected on the Company’s records.  By a notice given pursuant to this Section 23, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party.  Any notice which is required to be given to you shall, if you are then deceased, be given to your legal representative.  Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service or similar local service in jurisdictions outside of the United States.
24.     Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs and the Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
25.    Section 409A.  The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”).  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify you or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or the Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures 

    
	
			
	 
	8
	 






Exhibit 10.79


(including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.   
26.    Limitation on Participant’s Rights.  Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.  The Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust.  Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.  You shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when vested or settled pursuant to the terms hereof.
27.     Termination, Rescission and Recapture.  The RSUs are intended to align your long-term interests with the long-term interests of the Company. If you engage in certain activities discussed below, either during employment with the Company or after such employment terminates for any reason, the Company may terminate any outstanding, unexpired or unpaid RSUs (“Termination”), rescind any payment or delivery pursuant to the RSUs (“Rescission”) or recapture any cash or any Common Stock or proceeds from your sale of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the RSUs (“Recapture”), as more fully described below and to the extent permitted by applicable law.  For purposes of this Section 27, Competitive Organization or Business is defined as those corporations, institutions, individuals, or other entities identified by the Company as competitive or working to become competitive in the Company’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.
(a)   You are acting contrary to the long-term interests of the Company if you fail to comply with any agreement or undertaking regarding inventions, intellectual property rights, and/or proprietary or confidential information or material that you signed or otherwise agreed to in favor of the Company.  
(b)  You are acting contrary to the long-term interests of the Company if, during the restricted period set forth below, you engage in any of following activities in, or directed into, any State, possession or territory of the United States of America or any country in which the Company operates, sells products or does business:
(i) while employed by the Company, you render services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engage in or assist, any Competitive Organization or Business;
(ii) while employed by the Company or at any time thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, you (A) use any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company to render services to or otherwise engage in or assist any Competitive Organization or Business or (B) solicit away or attempt to solicit away any customer or supplier of the Company if in doing so, you use or disclose any of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets;

    
	
			
	 
	9
	 






Exhibit 10.79


(iii) while employed by the Company or during a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Board, you carry on any business or activity (whether directly or indirectly, as a partner, shareholder, principal, agent, director, affiliate, employee or consultant) that is a Competitive Organization or Business (as conducted now or during the term of this Agreement); 
(iv)  while employed by the Company or during the period of twelve (12) months thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Board, you solicit away or influence or attempt to influence or solicit away any client, customer or other person either directly or indirectly to direct his/her or its purchase of the Company’s products and/or services to any Competitive Organization or Business; or
(v)  while employed by the Company or during a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Board, you solicit or influence or attempt to influence or solicit any person employed by the Company or any consultant then retained by the Company to terminate or otherwise cease his/her employment or consulting relationship with the Company or become an employee of or perform services for any outside organization or business that is or is working to become competitive with the Company.
The activities described in this Section 27(b) are collectively referred to as ‘Activities Against the Company’s Interest.’
(c) If the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that: (i) you have violated any of the requirements set forth in Section 27(a) above or (ii) you have engaged in any Activities Against the Company’s Interest (the date on which such violation or activity first occurred being referred to as the ‘Trigger Date’), then the Company will, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture of any or all of the RSUs or the proceeds you received therefrom, provided, that such Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture shall not apply to the RSUs to the extent that such RSUs vested earlier than one year prior to the Trigger Date. Within ten days after receiving notice from the Company that Rescission or Recapture is being imposed on any RSU, you shall deliver to the Company the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, or, if you have sold such Common Stock, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded payment or delivery. Any payment by you to the Company pursuant to this Section 27(c) shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that you received in connection with the rescinded payment or delivery. It shall not be a basis for Termination, Rescission or Recapture if after your termination of employment, you purchase, as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of a Competitive Organization or Business, so long as (i) such stock or other securities are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and (ii) such investment does not represent more than a five percent equity interest in the organization or business.
(d) Upon payment or delivery of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs, you shall, if requested by the Company, certify on a form acceptable to the Company that you are in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, if your termination of employment has occurred, shall state the name and address of your then-current employer or any 

    
	
			
	 
	10
	 






Exhibit 10.79


entity for which you perform business services and your title, and shall identify any organization or business in which you own a greater-than-five-percent equity interest.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 27, in exceptional cases, the Company has sole and absolute discretion not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by you or the RSUs shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any other act by you or other equity awards.

Terms and Conditions
Restricted Stock Unit Award
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan


Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Appendix (this “Appendix”) have the same meaning assigned to them in the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”) and/or the Terms and Conditions to which this Appendix is attached (the “Terms and Conditions”). 


Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of RSUs in your country.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer to another country after the grant but prior to the vesting of the RSUs or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company may, in its discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to you.


Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2014.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at vesting of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of the Shares or receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents.  In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer employment to another country after the RSUs are granted to you or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to you.

SPAIN


Terms and Conditions


No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation.  The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions:


By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan documents.


You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be Consultants, Directors and Employees throughout the world.  The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will not economically or otherwise bind the Company, 

    
	
			
	 
	18
	 








Exhibit 10.79


the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement.  Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs are not, and will not become, part of any employment contract (whether with the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and will not be considered a mandatory benefit or salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Furthermore, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the grant of RSUs, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the RSUs and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable.  You also understand that this grant of RSUs would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions set forth hereinabove; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the RSUs and any right to the underlying Shares will be null and void.


Further, the vesting of the RSUs is expressly conditioned on your status as an active Service Provider, such that if your status as a Service Provider terminates for any reason whatsoever, your RSUs cease vesting immediately effective the date of your termination of your status as a Service Provider.  This will be the case, for example and without limitation, even if (i) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause, (ii) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal, (iii) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition, (iv) you terminate service due to the Company’s, the Employer’s or any of their respective Parents’, Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ unilateral breach of contract, or (v) your status as a Service Provider terminates for any other reason whatsoever.  Consequently, upon termination of your status as a Service Provider for any of the above reasons, you will automatically lose any rights to RSUs granted to you that were unvested on the date of termination of your status as a Service Provider, as described in the Plan or Agreement.


Notifications


Securities Law Information.  No “offer to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the RSUs.  The Plan, the Agreement (including this Appendix) and any other documents evidencing the grant of the RSUs have not been, nor will they be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (the Spanish securities regulator), and none of those documents constitutes a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information.  To participate in the Plan, you must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain.  You must declare the acquisition of stock in a foreign company (including Shares acquired under the Plan) for statistical purposes to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.  You must also declare ownership of any Shares by filing a Form D-6 with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the Shares are owned.  In addition, the sale of Shares must also be declared on Form D-6 filed with the DGCI in January, unless the sale proceeds exceed the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530), in which case, the filing is due within one month after the sale.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

After such rights and assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000.  The reporting must be completed by March 31 following the end of the relevant year.  It is your responsibility to comply with these reporting obligations, and you should consult with your personal tax and legal advisors in this regard.

Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.  The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Terms and Conditions:


Notwithstanding any discretion contained in Section 11(d) of the Plan, RSUs will be settled in Shares only, not cash.


Responsibility for Taxes.  The following provisions supplement Section 5 of the Terms and Conditions:


You must pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of income tax due that the Company or the Employer may be required to account to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) with respect to the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Taxable Event”) that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section 5.  If payment or withholding of the income tax is not made within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the Taxable Event occurs or such other period as required under U.K. law (the “Due Date”), you agree that the amount of any uncollected income tax will (assuming you are not a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)) constitute a loan owed by you to the Company or the Employer (as applicable), effective on the Due Date.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HMRC official rate and it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in this Section 5.  If you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the income tax due as described in this Section 5, the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares acquired under the Plan.  


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax due.  In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax due is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable.  You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit.  You acknowledge
