 B. One of the material conditions precedent to the willingness of the Parties to enter into the Operating Agreement and the
Contribution Agreement is that the Parties have agreed to execute, deliver and be bound by this Agreement.

of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Fujitsu nor AMD is presently

 (i) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limited and means “including without limitation.” 
  

(ii) Unless otherwise noted, all references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits herein are to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement. The
titles, captions and headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

covenant and agree not to (and Fujitsu agrees to cause its Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, engage in a Competing Business. 
  
 4. Divestiture of Competing Business by AMD Entities. During the AMD
Non-Competition Term, the AMD Entities hereby covenant and agree that: 
  
 (a) If an AMD Entity or its Affiliates (an “AMD Acquiring Party”) acquires a majority equity or other majority ownership interest of a Person whose principal line of business is not a Competing Business, but which has a
division or other operations constituting a Competing Business (any such division or operations, an “AMD Acquired Interest”), AMD shall (or, if applicable, shall cause AMD Investments or its other applicable Affiliates to)
(i) promptly provide the Joint Venture and the Fujitsu Entities with written notice of such acquisition (the “AMD Acquisition Notice”) and (ii) provide the Joint Venture with a right of first offer to acquire the AMD Acquired
Interest, such right to last for a period of sixty (60) days following the Joint Venture’s receipt of the AMD Acquisition Notice (the “AMD Offer Period”). During the AMD Offer Period, AMD shall (or, if applicable, shall cause
AMD Investments or its other applicable Affiliates to) (A) provide the Joint Venture with an opportunity to conduct reasonable due diligence on the AMD Acquired Interest and (B) enter into exclusive discussions with the Joint Venture concerning a
sale of the AMD Acquired Interest to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make an offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the AMD Acquired Interest by providing written notice to AMD
(“Joint Venture/AMD Offer”) at any time prior to the end of the AMD Offer Period, such written notice to include in reasonable detail the terms on which the Joint Venture proposes to purchase the AMD Acquired Interest. 

 
 (b) Any determination as to whether to make a Joint Venture/AMD Offer, and
the terms of such Joint Venture/AMD Offer, shall be made by the Board of Managers. If a Joint Venture/AMD Offer is made prior to the conclusion of the AMD Offer Period, the AMD Acquiring Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the
Joint Venture/AMD Offer in which to accept or reject the Joint Venture/AMD Offer by providing the Joint Venture with written notice of its decision within such 30-day period, such decision to be made by the AMD Acquiring Party in its sole
discretion. If the AMD Acquiring Party fails to provide the Joint Venture with written notice of its decision within such 30-day period, the AMD Acquiring Party shall be deemed to have rejected the Joint Venture/AMD Offer. 
  
 (c) If the Joint Venture does not make a Joint Venture/AMD Offer prior to the
conclusion of the AMD Offer Period, or if the AMD Acquiring Party rejects a Joint Venture/AMD Offer, the AMD Acquiring Party shall (and, if applicable, AMD shall cause the AMD Acquiring Party to) take all commercially reasonable steps to sell or
otherwise divest the AMD Acquired Interest as soon as reasonably practicable to an unaffiliated Person following the conclusion of the AMD Offer Period or the 30-day period referenced in Section 4(b), whichever is later; provided, however, if
the AMD Acquired Party rejected a Joint Venture/AMD Offer pursuant to Section 4(b), the terms of sale to the unaffiliated Person shall be no more favorable than the terms set forth in the Joint Venture/AMD Offer. ****.

“Fujitsu Acquiring Party”) acquires a majority equity or other majority ownership interest of a Person whose principal line of business is not a Competing Business, but which has a division or other operations constituting a
Competing Business (any such division or operations, an “Fujitsu Acquired Interest”), Fujitsu shall (or, if applicable, shall cause Fujitsu Sub or its other applicable Affiliates to) (i) promptly provide the Joint Venture and the
AMD Entities with written notice of such acquisition (the “Fujitsu Acquisition Notice”) and (ii) provide the Joint Venture with a right of first offer to acquire the Fujitsu Acquired Interest, such right to last for a period of
sixty (60) days following the Joint Venture’s receipt of the Fujitsu Acquisition Notice (the “Fujitsu Offer Period”). During the Fujitsu Offer Period, Fujitsu shall (or, if applicable, shall cause Fujitsu Sub or its other
applicable Affiliates to) (A) provide the Joint Venture with an opportunity to conduct reasonable due diligence on the Fujitsu Acquired Interest and (B) enter into exclusive discussions with the Joint Venture concerning a sale of the Fujitsu
Acquired Interest to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make an offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Fujitsu Acquired Interest by providing written notice to Fujitsu (“Joint
Venture/Fujitsu Offer”) at any time prior to the end of the Fujitsu Offer Period, such written notice to include in reasonable detail the terms on which the Joint Venture proposes to purchase the Fujitsu Acquired Interest. 
  
 (b) Any determination as to whether to make a Joint Venture/Fujitsu Offer,

receipt of the Joint Venture/Fujitsu Offer in which to accept or reject the Joint Venture/Fujitsu Offer by providing the Joint Venture with written notice of its decision within such 30-day period, such decision to be made by the Fujitsu Acquiring

Offer.

Venture/Fujitsu Offer prior to the conclusion of the Fujitsu Offer Period, or if the Fujitsu Acquiring Party rejects a Joint Venture/Fujitsu Offer, the Fujitsu Acquiring Party shall (and, if applicable, Fujitsu shall cause the Fujitsu Acquiring
Party to) take all commercially reasonable steps to sell or otherwise divest the Fujitsu Acquired Interest as soon as reasonably practicable to an unaffiliated Person following the conclusion of the Fujitsu Offer Period or the 30-day period
