 2.2 Extension. The Parties may extend the Initial Term of this Agreement by mutual written agreement; each such agreed upon extension period shall be referred to as an “Extension Period.”

  

	3.	MANAGEMENT, COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION AND ESCALATION RIGHTS 

  
 3.1 In General. Spansion shall have day-to-day management control over its receipt of the Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, this
will include decisions regarding (a) its general administrative services budget, (b) the level of Services it requires, and (c) the performance of its service providers, including its response to failures by AMD to provide Services in accordance
with the Service Levels and any material breach by AMD of its obligations under this Agreement. To administer its receipt and use of these Services, Spansion will retain a Spansion Services Manager as described below and will consult with the AMD
Services Advisor and Fujitsu Services Advisor in Spansion’s reasonable judgment. 
  
 3.2 Spansion Services Manager. Spansion shall employ an individual reasonably knowledgeable about the provision of general administrative services similar to those provided by AMD under this Agreement (the
“Spansion Services Manager”). The Spansion Services Manager shall (a) have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the performance of Spansion’s obligations under this Agreement and for monitoring the performance
of obligations by AMD under this Agreement, (b) subject to the supervision of Spansion management, be authorized to act for and on behalf of Spansion with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, and (c) shall be the primary contact with
the AMD Services Advisor and Fujitsu Services Advisor. The Spansion Service Manager will report to the Spansion chief financial officer or such other senior executive of Spansion as may be designated by the Spansion chief financial officer.

  
 3.3 AMD Services Advisor. AMD shall appoint at
AMD’s expense an individual (the “AMD Services Advisor”) who will serve as the AMD representative under this Agreement. The AMD Services Advisor shall (a) have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the
performance of AMD’s obligations under this Agreement, (b) be authorized to act for and on behalf of AMD with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, and (c) shall be the primary contact with the Spansion Services Manager and Fujitsu
Services Advisor. 
  
 3.4 Fujitsu Services Advisor.
Fujitsu shall appoint at Fujitsu’s expense an individual (the “Fujitsu Services Advisor”) who will serve as the Fujitsu representative to Spansion regarding Spansion’s receipt of the Services. The Fujitsu Services Advisor
will serve in 

  

 2 








 
an advisory capacity to Spansion only and will not have independent veto rights or other day-to-day decision-making authority over Spansion’s receipt,
use and oversight of the Services. The Fujitsu Services Advisor will act in the best interests of Spansion, not Fujitsu. Spansion shall make available to the Fujitsu Services Advisor office space and facilities upon the Fujitsu Services
Advisor’s reasonable request as and when reasonably required by the Fujitsu Services Advisor to enable the Fujitsu Services Advisor to perform his or her responsibilities hereunder. In the performance of the Fujitsu Services Advisor’s
functions, the Fujitsu Services Advisor shall have the right as reasonably necessary to consult with other Fujitsu employees with appropriate expertise in the respective Service areas and provide information regarding the Services to such employees.
For purposes of determining the scope of the Fujitsu Services Advisor’s rights and responsibilities hereunder, the term “Services” will be deemed to include any services performed by AMD pursuant to Special Projects. In the event that
Fujitsu’s Aggregate Ownership Interest falls below ten percent (10%) and Fujitsu no longer provides services to Spansion that are similar to the Services, either Spansion or Fujitsu may, but shall not be required to, by written notice to the
other and AMD, terminate the role of the Fujitsu Services Advisor, and, upon such termination, the Fujitsu Services Advisor shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder. 
  
 3.5 Information Exchange and Information Rights. Spansion shall keep AMD informed about those aspects of
Spansion’s business that could reasonably be expected to have an effect on the demand for, or provision of, the Services. AMD will provide to the Fujitsu Services Advisor copies of all reports and other written information relating to the
Services that AMD provides Spansion herein at the same time AMD provides such reports and information to Spansion, including a copy of the quarterly service reports provided Spansion under Section 4.7. At any time upon the Fujitsu Services
Advisor’s reasonable request, the Spansion Services Manager shall provide the Fujitsu Services Advisor additional information regarding the performance of the Services and the associated Fees to the extent such information is available. AMD and
Spansion, through the AMD Services Advisor and the Spansion Services Manager, will give notice and otherwise keep the Fujitsu Services Advisor informed of all proposals and discussions between the Spansion Services Manager and the AMD Services
Advisor relating to material aspects of this Agreement and the provision of Services herein, including all Changes proposed under the Change Control Procedures, any Special Projects, all audits conducted by Spansion and all budget meetings related
to the Services. Such notice shall be given by the Parties promptly upon initiation of such discussions. In addition, AMD and Spansion will, upon the Fujitsu Services Advisor’s request and subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions,
grant access to the Fujitsu Services Advisor to any meeting between the AMD Services Advisor and the Spansion Services Manager, whether telephonic or in person, regarding performance of the Services, the Fees and any proposed Special Projects or
Changes. 
  
 3.6 Services Advisor Escalation Rights. If at
any time, the Fujitsu Services Advisor believes in good faith that (a) the Services being provided to Spansion under this Agreement are not being provided in accordance with the applicable Service Levels, (b) AMD is in material breach under this
Agreement, (c) an audit pursuant to Section 8.11 should be conducted or (d) Spansion is not being charged fairly for the Services it is receiving under this Agreement, then the Fujitsu Services Advisor will notify the Spansion Services Manager and
the Spansion chief financial officer in writing. If after a reasonable period of time, the Fujitsu Services Advisor does not believe that the concern raised has been adequately addressed, the Fujitsu Services Advisor shall be entitled to notify
Spansion’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of 

  

 3 








 
the Fujitsu Services Advisor’s concerns. Any such notice shall be in writing and shall be provided to all Board members simultaneously, with a copy also
provided simultaneously to Spansion’s chief financial officer and the AMD Services Advisor. The Board of Directors shall consider the Fujitsu Service Advisor’s concerns in good faith and may take any action it deems reasonable in the
circumstances. 
  
 3.7 Contract Amendments.  
  
 (a) Spansion and AMD may only amend this Agreement upon the
approval of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate its decision-making authority to Spansion management as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any Special Project or new Services purchase of greater than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable in any AMD fiscal year will require specific approval from the Board of Directors. 
  
 (b) For so long as Fujitsu maintains at least a ten percent (10%) Aggregate Ownership Interest, AMD and Spansion may not amend this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Fujitsu (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld), to the extent an amendment (i) reduces the rights of the Fujitsu Services Advisor set forth herein, (ii) reduces
Fujitsu’s right to consent to amendments set forth in this Section, (iii) establishes a basis for charging Spansion for the Services other than by calculating AMD’s reasonable, good faith estimates of actual costs plus five percent (5%),
as set forth in Section 8.6, or materially alters the cost allocation methodologies described in Section 8.6, (iv) eliminates or reduces AMD’s obligation to provide Services at a level consistent with the level of similar services AMD provides
to its other divisions or Affiliates or (v) materially reduces Spansion’s rights under this Agreement (e.g., eliminates the requirement that all Changes require Spansion’s consent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes to Fees or
Services resulting from Change Control Procedures, the Annual Budget Process or the Fee reconciliation process described in Section 8.6 shall not be deemed to constitute amendments to this Agreement. 
  
 3.8 Approvals. Spansion shall reasonably cooperate with AMD by making
available, as requested by AMD, management decisions, information, approvals or disapprovals, and acceptances or rejections in a reasonably timely manner so that AMD may fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 3.9 Change Control Procedures. The Parties shall use the following
procedures (the “Change Control Procedures”) to implement Changes. 
  
 (a) General. 
  
 (i) Changes. Changes shall be implemented only by mutual agreement of the Parties through these Change Control Procedures, except
as may be necessary on an emergency, temporary basis to maintain the continuity of the Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the implementation of a Change does not necessarily require an increase in the Fees or other fees payable by
Spansion or a reduction in the scope of Services or in Service Levels provided hereunder, and that any change in the Fees or other amounts payable by Spansion as a result of a Change will be an adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section
8. All decisions regarding Changes are subject to the approval by the Board of 

  

 4 








 
Directors, which may delegate its decision-making authority to Spansion management as it deems appropriate. The Parties acknowledge and agree that not all
modifications to the Services may constitute Changes; as part of the routine operation of Spansion and AMD, modifications that are not material or significant, as determined by AMD in its reasonable judgment, may be conducted without recourse to the
Change Control Procedures; provided that the Spansion Services Manager is notified — on a regular basis consistent with AMD’s internal processes — of the modifications being implemented on Spansion’s behalf, with a copy of such
report provided to the Fujitsu Services Advisor. 
  
 (ii) Schedule. Unless otherwise agreed by Spansion, with respect to all Changes, AMD shall (a) schedule Changes so as not to unreasonably interrupt Spansion’s business operations, other than those Changes made on a emergency
basis to maintain the continuity of the Services, (b) prepare and deliver to Spansion each quarter a rolling schedule for ongoing and planned agreed upon Changes for the next quarter, and (c) monitor the status of Changes against the applicable
schedule. 
  
 (iii) Meetings. The AMD
Services Advisor and the Spansion Services Manager shall meet on a mutually agreed schedule (no less frequently than each quarter) for the purpose of reviewing Change requests submitted by either Party in accordance with these Change Control
Procedures. The Spansion Services Manager will provide the Fujitsu Services Advisor written or telephonic notice of these meetings and the Fujitsu Services Advisor may attend. 
  
 (b) Requests for Changes. Requests for Changes shall be submitted for review in accordance with the
Change Control Procedures, and shall include a reasonably detailed description of the requested Change together with the basis for such Change. All requests for Changes by Spansion shall be communicated to AMD through the Spansion Services Manager
or his or her authorized designee. 
  
 (i)
Changes Initiated by Spansion. Within ten (10) business days after AMD receives a request from Spansion for a Change, either AMD or a joint project team working on the Service to be impacted, as appropriate, shall prepare and provide to
Spansion an initial written proposal for the Change (a “Change Proposal”), which proposal will include AMD’s initial proposals regarding (A) the Services and the applicable schedule for performing the Services, including but
not limited to Spansion’s related obligations, to effect the Change, (B) the resources required to perform Services effecting the Change and resulting from the Change, (C) the Fees for Services, and (D) any additional areas that are reasonably
likely to be impacted by the proposed Change. The Change Proposal shall also contain a description of any other anticipated costs that Spansion will incur as a result of the Change that it would otherwise not have incurred. Within ten (10) business
days after receiving such Change Proposal, Spansion shall either approve the Change Proposal, notify AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further, or withdraw the request for such Change. Spansion’s failure to approve the
Change Proposal or notify AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further within this ten (10) business day period shall be deemed a rejection of the Change Proposal, and the Change shall not be implemented. 
  

 5 








 (ii) Changes Initiated by AMD. Concurrent with the submission of a request for a
Change by AMD, either AMD or a joint project team working on the impacted Service, as appropriate, shall provide to Spansion a Change Proposal containing the information specified in subparagraph (i) above. Within ten (10) business days after
receiving such proposal, Spansion shall either approve the Change Proposal, notify AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further, or reject the requested Change. Spansion’s failure to approve the Change Proposal or notify AMD
that Spansion desires to discuss the Change Proposal further within this ten (10) business day period shall be deemed a rejection of such request, and the Change shall not be implemented. 
  
 (c) Further Discussion of Changes. If within ten (10)
business days after receipt of a Change Proposal, Spansion notifies AMD that Spansion desires to discuss the proposed Change further, the Spansion Services Manager and AMD Services Advisor will promptly consider the Change Proposal in person or by
telephone and will attempt in good faith to develop a mutually acceptable Change Proposal. The Spansion Services Manager will notify the Fujitsu Services Advisor of the proposed meeting and the Fujitsu Services Advisor may attend any such meeting.

  
 (d) Implementation of Changes. All
Changes are subject to the written approval of the Parties. Only following receipt of each Party’s written approval may AMD begin to implement the approved Change, and any Change so approved by each Party that affects any Statement of Work
shall be deemed to be an amendment to such Statement of Work. 
  
 (e) Emergency Changes. If a Service Level failure, reasonable safety concern, Governmental Authority or change in Law, requires an immediate Change to a Service, then AMD may implement such Change immediately
upon notice to Spansion, with a copy to the Fujitsu Services Advisor. Any change in Fees or equipment or technology purchases for which AMD seeks reimbursement from Spansion, or any long-term, material degradation in Service Levels resulting from
such Change, unless such degradation is unavoidably required in the circumstances (in which event AMD shall use all reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of such degradation), shall be subject to the Change Control Procedures. 
  
 (f) Omitted Services. In the event the Parties
determine that certain general and administrative services provided by AMD and/or its Affiliates to the AMD Flash Memory Business prior to Closing have not been included in a Statement of Work and are not being separately addressed within Spansion,
AMD will offer such services to Spansion or its Affiliates on the terms set forth in this Agreement and Spansion shall have the option to accept or reject such additional services. In the event Spansion elects to accept such additional services, the
Parties shall prepare and agree on a Statement of Work to reflect the provision of such services and the Statement of Work shall be appended to this Agreement. 
  

3.10 Special Projects. Spansion may from time to time during the Term request that AMD perform Special Projects. Upon receipt of such a request
from Spansion, AMD shall provide Spansion with a written proposal for such Special Project which shall include: 
  
 (a) a description of the services, functions and responsibilities AMD anticipates performing in connection with such Special Project;

  

 6 








 (b) a description of the obligations of Spansion, if any, required for AMD to perform
such Special Project; 
  
 (c) a schedule for
commencing and completing such Special Project; 
  
 (d) AMD’s prospective fees for such Special Project, either on a fixed fee or time and materials basis; and 
  
 (e) when appropriate, a description of any new Software or equipment required in connection with such Special Project. 
  
 AMD shall not begin performing any Special Project until the Parties have
agreed in writing upon the specifications, requirements, schedule and fees for such Special Project pursuant to the Change Control Procedures. Spansion shall have the right to contract with a third party to perform any Special Project, provided that
the Special Project does not affect the provision of Services and would not result in the breach of an obligation that AMD may have with a third party. Spansion will notify AMD of any proposal that Spansion wants to make to a third party to perform
a Special Project instead of having AMD perform that Special Project. If the Parties do not agree upon terms by which AMD will perform a Special Project, or if AMD objects to Spansion retaining a third party to perform the Special Project because
AMD reasonably believes in good faith that such Special Project, or the third party’s performance of that Special Project, will negatively affect the Services, either by reducing performance or functionality, or increasing the cost to AMD, or
by causing AMD to breach an obligation to a third party, each Party shall have the right to escalate the issue to the Board of Directors, and the Parties shall in good faith negotiate a mutually-acceptable resolution to the matter. If Spansion does
retain a third party to perform a Special Project hereunder, then AMD and Spansion will agree in writing upon any changes to the Services, Service Levels (if applicable), Fees that result from Spansion retaining the third party and commissioning the
Special Project. 
  

	4.	SERVICES 

  
 4.1 Services; Parity. Pursuant to separate statements of work attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Statements of Work”), AMD,
either itself or through its Affiliates or subcontractors (subject to Section 4.5), shall perform the services, functions, and responsibilities for Spansion identified in the separate Statements of Work (the “Services”). The
Statements of Work may be updated by the Parties from time to time upon mutual agreement pursuant to the Change Control Procedures or the annual review of the Spansion general administrative services budget and the Services described in Section 8.7
(the “Annual Budget Process”). AMD will provide Spansion the Services under terms (including those related to charges, cost allocation and service levels) that are at least as favorable as those it provides any other AMD business
unit, division or AMD Affiliate receiving similar services from AMD (or an AMD subcontractor), subject to any deviations agreed to by the Parties to address Spansion’s specific requirements as communicated to AMD and taking into account that
this Agreement provides for a cost plus allocation budgeting structure that may not apply to other AMD business units, divisions or Affiliates. The Services (including any new Services added pursuant to mutual agreement by the Parties) will evolve
and be supplemented, modified, enhanced or replaced, reduced or eliminated over time as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Change Control 

  

 7 








 
Procedures or as part of the Annual Budget Process. Fees are subject to the quarterly budget reconciliation process described in Section 8.8. 
  
 4.2 Governmental Approvals. AMD shall obtain and maintain all
Governmental Approvals required for AMD to deliver the Services under this Agreement. Spansion shall obtain and maintain all Governmental Approvals required for Spansion to use the Services under this Agreement. Upon request by either Party, the
other Party shall provide to the requesting Party reasonable cooperation and assistance in obtaining Governmental Approvals hereunder. 
  
 4.3 Changes in Law. If either Party becomes aware of any changes in Law that relate to AMD’s delivery of the Services or Spansion’s use
of the Services, then such Party will notify the other Party of such changes in Law. With respect to any changes related to AMD’s delivery of Services, AMD and Spansion shall work together pursuant to the Change Control Procedures to identify
the impact of such changes on AMD’s delivery of the Services, and any changes in the fees charged to Spansion, as a result and shall work together to implement any necessary modifications to the Services prior to the deadline imposed by the
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction for such requirement or change. AMD will use reasonable efforts to minimize the incremental cost to Spansion of compliance with such Laws. 
  
 4.4 Compliance With Laws. AMD shall comply with all Laws governing the provision of the Services and the performance
of its obligations, including identifying and procuring permits, certificates, approvals and inspections required under such Laws. If a charge of non-compliance by AMD with any such Laws occurs, AMD shall promptly notify Spansion of such charge in
writing and AMD shall promptly remedy such non-compliance in accordance with Law. 
  
 4.5 Subcontractors. Spansion acknowledges that AMD may outsource to a third party or third parties the performance of some or all of the Services that AMD is obligated to provide under this Agreement; provided
however, that in the event such outsourcing will lead to any Change in Service Levels or Fees, such outsourcing shall be subject to the Change Control Procedures. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring AMD to perform directly any
Services outside of the United States and to the extent that Services will be performed outside the United States, AMD may engage an Affiliate, subsidiary or subcontractor to perform such Services (subject to the Change Control Procedures in
accordance with the foregoing). No subcontracting shall release AMD from its responsibility for its obligations under this Agreement. AMD shall be responsible for the work and activities of each of the AMD Agents, including compliance with the terms
of this Agreement. AMD shall be responsible for all payments to its subcontractors unless the Parties agree that Spansion will pay directly to an AMD Affiliate providing Services to Spansion. 
  
 4.6 Spansion Agents. AMD will coordinate and cooperate in good faith
with Spansion Agents hired by Spansion from time to time to the extent reasonably required by Spansion and with Fujitsu to the extent that Fujitsu supplies similar or complementary services to Spansion. AMD will promptly notify Spansion if a Fujitsu
or any Spansion Agent act or omission will cause, or has caused, a problem or delay in providing the Services. AMD will be excused from failure to meet a Service Level or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement only to the extent that
a failure to meet such Service Level or otherwise perform its 

  

 8 








 
obligations was caused by the interference of a Spansion Agent or Fujitsu; provided such interference was not at the direction of AMD and provided that AMD
continues to use reasonable efforts to perform despite such interference and works with Spansion to resolve the problem and resume conformance with the Service Levels and performance of AMD’s obligations under this Agreement as soon as
practicable. 
  
 4.7 AMD Reporting. On a semi-annual basis
AMD shall provide a report to Spansion, with a copy to the Fujitsu Services Advisor, (a) identifying those at AMD principally responsible for providing Services in each Service area, (b) identifying any significant problems or issues encountered in
delivering the Services for each of the Service areas, and (c) identifying any major changes in the amount of Services or Fees in the Service areas that are expected or planned by AMD for the upcoming two (2) quarters or year. The AMD Services
Advisor will provide the Spansion Services Manager with such other reports regarding the performance of the Services and the Fees as the Spansion Services Manager shall reasonably require. 
  
 4.8 Spansion Benchmarking. Spansion may independently analyze
AMD’s compliance with the Service Levels and provide AMD feedback regarding AMD’s performance. In addition, if as part of that benchmarking, Spansion in good faith determines that the pricing it is charged for the Services is not within a
reasonable range, Spansion may notify AMD and the Parties will consider whether changes are appropriate to the Services to enable the Parties to enjoy better pricing. Any such benchmarking shall be subject to the confidentiality restriction set
forth in Section 11. 
  
 4.9 Use of Services. Spansion may
not remarket or sell all or any portion of the Services provided under this Agreement, or make all or any portion of the Services available to any party other than Spansion or Spansion’s Affiliates, without AMD’s consent.

  

	5.	SERVICE LEVELS 

  
 5.1 Service Levels. AMD shall perform the Services at a minimum in conformance with the level of service and with at least the same degree of
accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency as was provided to the AMD Flash Memory Business prior to the Effective Date (“Service Levels”). 
  
 5.2 Dispute Escalation Process. 
  
 (a) Initial Notice; Good Faith Discussion. If the
Spansion Services Manager determines that AMD has failed to perform the Services in accordance with the applicable Service Levels, the Spansion Services Manager may initiate contact with the AMD Services Advisor to discuss the deficiency, and if
necessary may submit a Change Proposal regarding a corrective action plan in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Upon such contact, the Spansion Services Manager and AMD Services Advisor will promptly consider the corrective action plan
in person or by telephone and will attempt in good faith to agree to a mutually acceptable corrective action plan. The Spansion Services Manager will invite the Fujitsu Services Advisor to attend any such meetings. If the Parties cannot agree upon a
corrective action plan within a fifteen (15) day business day period, the issue will be escalated in accordance with clause (b) below. 
  

 9 








 (b) Management Escalation. If the issue is not resolved in accordance with clause
(a) above, the Spansion Services Manager will notify the Spansion chief financial officer of the issue. If the Spansion chief financial officer reasonably determines that the issue warrants further escalation, the Spansion chief financial officer
will then contact the person within AMD in charge of the provision of the Services at issue to discuss the issue in person or by telephone and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the issue for a period of ten (10) business days. If
the issue is not resolved, as agreed by the Parties, within such ten (10) business day period, the issue will be escalated in accordance with clause (c) below. 
  

(c) Board Escalation. If the Spansion chief financial officer reasonably determines that AMD has failed to offer an acceptable
remedy for the Service failure, then the Spansion chief financial officer shall notify the Board of Directors (a) indicating the nature and the basis of the issue, and (b) listing the measures that Spansion proposes to take against AMD in order to
remedy the Service failure. The Board of Directors shall consider the measures proposed by the Spansion chief financial officer against AMD and shall provide its recommendation or approval for any measures Spansion shall take to remedy the Service
failure. 
  
 (d) Termination. In the event
that the unremediated Service failure has a material adverse impact on Spansion’s business or operations, and subject to Board of Directors approval, Spansion may terminate the affected Service in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Section 14 (presuming the applicable cure period has elapsed as set forth therein) and shall have the right to contract with a third party to perform such Service. 
  
 (e) Right to Arbitrate. In the event that the Board of Directors approves Spansion’s proposed
measures, and AMD believes that such measures are inappropriate, AMD shall have the right to institute dispute resolution proceedings in accordance with Section 13. 
  

	6.	SERVICE LOCATIONS AND SECURITY 

  
 6.1 Service Locations. 
  
 (a) The Services shall be provided to Spansion from the Spansion Service Locations and the AMD Service Locations established on the
Effective Date or subsequently changed in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event AMD desires to establish or move Services to a Spansion Service Location, such action shall either be approved through the Change Control Procedures or be
approved in writing by the Spansion Services Manager. 
  
 (b) Except as provided in Section 8 and unless otherwise agreed by Spansion, any incremental expenses incurred by Spansion or AMD and any costs incurred in connection with the performance or use of the Services, in each case as a result of
AMD’s relocation to, or use of, any different Service Locations at AMD’s request, shall be paid by AMD or reimbursed to Spansion by AMD. Any incremental expenses incurred by Spansion or AMD as a result of a relocation to, or use of, any
different Service Locations at Spansion’s request or direction shall be paid by Spansion or reimbursed to AMD by Spansion. 
  

 10 








 6.2 Spansion Resources and Facilities. 
  
 (a) For so long as AMD requires the same for the performance
of the Services, subject to Spansion’s agreement (not to be unreasonably withheld), Spansion shall provide to AMD at no charge access to and the use of the space in the Spansion Service Locations, together with personal computers, workstations,
terminals, printers, and other equipment utilized by Spansion, office furnishings, telephone equipment, janitorial services, utilities and other reasonable resources in connection with AMD’s performance of the Services. Use of Spansion Service
Locations by AMD does not constitute a leasehold interest in favor of AMD, and AMD shall not have exclusive access or control of the space provided to AMD under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) AMD and AMD Agents shall not commit or permit waste or damage to such facilities, nor use such
facilities for any unlawful purpose or act, and shall comply with all of Spansion’s general and site-specific policies and procedures generally applicable to the applicable Spansion Service Location (as in effect from time to time and of which
Spansion has provided notice to AMD), including procedures for the physical security of the Spansion Service Locations. 
  
 (c) AMD shall permit Spansion and Spansion Agents to enter into those portions of the Spansion Service Locations occupied by AMD’s
staff at any time to perform facilities-related services. Spansion shall ensure that Spansion and Spansion Agents shall not interfere with AMD’s performance of Services while exercising access rights under this Agreement, and AMD shall not be
liable under this Agreement for its non-performance or its failure to meet the applicable Service Levels to the extent such non-performance or failure is caused by interference by Spansion or Spansion Agents. 
  
 6.3 Conduct of AMD Personnel. While at the Spansion Service Locations,
AMD and AMD Agents shall (a) comply with the requests, standard rules and regulations of Spansion regarding safety and health, personal and professional conduct (including adhering to general safety practices or procedures) generally applicable to
such Spansion Service Locations, as notified to AMD from time to time and (b) otherwise conduct themselves in a businesslike manner. If Spansion notifies AMD that a particular member of the AMD Personnel is not conducting himself or herself in
accordance with this Section, AMD shall promptly (y) investigate the matter and take appropriate action which may include (i) removing the applicable personnel from the AMD Personnel and providing Spansion with prompt notice of such removal and (ii)
replacing the applicable personnel with a similarly qualified individual, or (z) take other appropriate disciplinary action to prevent a recurrence. In the event of multiple violations of this Section 6.3 by a particular member of the AMD Personnel,
AMD shall promptly remove the individual from the AMD Personnel. 
  
 6.4 Safety and Security Procedures. 
  
 (a) AMD agrees to comply with Spansion’s physical safety and security procedures for all Services it provides at Spansion Service Locations. 
  
 (b) AMD will promptly notify Spansion if any Spansion failure to maintain and enforce (except for enforcement with respect to AMD
Personnel) physical safety and security procedures at Spansion Service Locations will cause, or has caused, a material problem or delay for AMD in providing the Services. AMD will be excused from failure to meet a 

  

 11 








 
Service Level or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement only to the extent that a failure to meet such Service Level or otherwise perform its
obligations was caused by the Spansion failure to maintain and enforce (except for enforcement with respect to AMD Personnel) physical safety and security procedures at Spansion Service Locations; provided that AMD continues to use reasonable
efforts to perform despite such failure and works with Spansion to resolve the failure and resume conformance with the Service Levels and performance of AMD’s obligations under this Agreement as soon as practicable. 
  

	7.	CONTINUED PROVISION OF SERVICES 

  
 7.1 Force Majeure. If and to the extent that a Party’s performance of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement is prevented, hindered
or delayed by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (but specifically excluding
labor and union-related activities) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance, hindrance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the non-performing, hindered or delayed Party shall be
excused for such non-performance, hindrance or delay, as applicable, of those obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and such Party continues to use reasonable efforts to recommence
performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall
immediately notify the other Party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event. If a Service cannot be resumed as a result of a Force Majeure Event for a period of time
sufficient to materially hinder Spansion’s ability to continue to operate, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, Spansion may obtain such needed Services from a third party; provided however, that if AMD is thereafter able to resume
providing such Service, Spansion will again retain AMD to provide such Service in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

 12 









	8.	PAYMENTS AND INVOICING 

  
 8.1 Fees. In consideration of AMD providing the Services, Spansion shall pay to AMD the fees set forth in the Statements of Work, as such fees may
be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Fees”). The Fees include AMD’s reasonable, good faith estimates of pass through expenses for third party Software costs and other third party services (such portion of
the Fees referred to herein as the “Pass-Through Expenses”). Pass-Through Expenses shall be billed at direct cost, without any mark-up. The Fees are subject to change annually in accordance with the Annual Budget Process, as well as
in accordance with the Change Control Procedures and the quarterly budget reconciliation process described in Section 8.8. In the event through the Change Control Procedures or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement additional Pass-Through
Expenses will be incurred, AMD will separately identify such additional Pass-Through Expenses in the applicable Statement of Work. 
  
 8.2 Special Project Fees. Subject to the Change Control Procedures, Spansion shall pay AMD any Special Project Fees agreed upon by the Parties in
writing. As of the Amendment Date, there are no approved Special Projects Fees. 
  
 8.3 Invoicing. After the beginning of each fiscal month of the Term, AMD shall invoice Spansion for (i) all Fees payable for Services performed during the previous fiscal month and all Pass-Through Expenses
paid during the previous fiscal month, and (ii) all Special Project Fees, if any, payable for services performed during the previous fiscal month, including in the case of clause (ii) any Reimbursable Expenses incurred by AMD in performing a Special
Project and reimbursable pursuant to Section 8.9. 
  
 8.4 Time
of Payment. AMD’s invoices shall be due and payable within forty-five (45) days after the end of the fiscal month in which the Services or, if applicable, agreed upon Special Project services, were provided or the costs incurred. Any other
sum due AMD pursuant to this Agreement shall be due and payable within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Spansion of an invoice from AMD. All payments will be made via wire transfer or other mutually-acceptable means. 
  
 8.5 Fee Dispute. Within thirty (30) days after Spansion’s receipt
of each invoice, Spansion shall give notice to AMD of any amount shown in such invoice that Spansion disputes in good faith, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the disputed amount and the grounds for the dispute.

  
 8.6 Cost Allocation. AMD will calculate Fees and costs
charged to Spansion using a cost allocation methodology that accurately and fairly reflects AMD’s reasonable, good faith forecasts of its actual costs associated with providing the Services and with a reasonable allocation to Spansion based on
the provision of Services to Spansion and the costs therefor as a proportion of total services and costs AMD provides for itself, for Spansion and for any other division or Affiliate of AMD. AMD agrees that the target of the Fees and costs charged
to Spansion will be AMD’s actual costs in performing the Services. AMD shall set the Fees each year as part of the Annual Budget Process at such reasonable, good faith projection of actual costs (and any overhead costs allocated according to
the principle set forth in the first sentence of this Section) plus five percent (5%) of AMD’s costs, excluding Pass-Through Expenses. 

  

 13 








 
Spansion acknowledges, however, that due to events that occur in between the quarterly reconciliations described in Section 8.8, the Fees may not accurately
reflect AMD’s actual costs. In such event and to such extent, AMD will not be deemed in breach of its obligation to charge Fees based on its reasonable, good faith estimates of actual costs, provided AMD uses diligent and good faith efforts to
establish its actual costs as the basis for reconciling Fees under Section 8.8 and developing future budgets pursuant to the Annual Budget Process. The Fees will be analyzed and updated pursuant to Section 8.8 and the Annual Budget Process.

  
 8.7 Annual Budget Process. Each year, in accordance
with Spansion’s normal budget process, AMD shall meet with Spansion and assist Spansion as requested in developing an overall general administrative services budget, including expenditures that are to be paid directly by Spansion to third
parties. Each such annual meeting will also address changes to the Services and the applicable Fees for the succeeding fiscal year and the Parties will agree in writing upon the Services, Service Levels (as applicable) and Fees for the succeeding
year. The Fujitsu Services Advisor may advise Spansion regarding all such matters in the Fujitsu Services Advisor’s reasonable judgment. 
  
 8.8 Price Protection; Quarterly Budget Reconciliation. In addition to adjustments that may be discussed pursuant to the Annual Budget Process, the
Fees shall be adjusted on a prospective basis by mutual written agreement on a quarterly basis (excluding the quarter when the Annual Budget Process will take the place of the quarterly reconciliation process) if a major event has occurred during
the quarter that will substantially increase or decrease the actual costs of the Services in the future versus the then-current mutually-agreed budget (e.g., AMD realizes substantial cost savings as the result of an outsourcing transaction). As part
of this quarterly reconciliation process, adjustments to budgeted Fees (including Pass-Through Expenses), whether resulting in an increase or decrease in Fees (including Pass-Through Expenses), will be mutually agreed upon by AMD and Spansion and
will apply prospectively only. 
  
 8.9 Expenses. Spansion
shall pay or reimburse AMD for its Reimbursable Expenses incurred in connection with its performance of Special Projects as may be agreed on a project by project basis. Except as provided in the previous sentence or as otherwise agreed through the
Change Control Procedures, AMD shall not charge Spansion for any expenses or costs incurred by AMD in providing Special Project services. 
  
 8.10 Proration. All periodic Fees under this Agreement are to be computed on a fiscal month basis and shall be prorated on a per diem basis for any
partial fiscal month. 
  
 8.11 Audits. In the event
Spansion in good faith believes there is a material difference between actual costs incurred by AMD and the Fees, Spansion shall be entitled to appoint an auditor reasonably acceptable to AMD to audit the cost allocation methodologies used by AMD to
calculate the Fees, the allocation of Fees and Pass-Through Expenses, and to otherwise verify the accuracy of the Fees and expenses that AMD charges Spansion for provision of Services under this Agreement. Spansion may conduct one such audit
annually upon reasonable advance written notice to AMD delivered through the AMD Services Advisor. AMD agrees to provide such auditor with access to all data, records, reports, resources, facilities and personnel necessary to enable the auditor to
conduct appropriate audits of the Fees charged to Spansion. The auditor shall promptly report any discrepancies in writing to Spansion, with a copy to the AMD Services 

  

 14 








 
Advisor and the Fujitsu Services Advisor. Any copies provided the Fujitsu Services Advisor shall only include the results of the auditor’s analysis and
shall be deemed Confidential Information of Spansion. Any discrepancy discovered shall be promptly rectified as part of the next quarter’s budget reconciliation process, whether such discrepancy resulted in an overpayment or underpayment of
Fees. All such audits shall be at Spansion’s expense. AMD agrees to retain all pertinent records to justify its allocation of Fees and costs to Spansion for a period of two (2) years after provision of the applicable Service. In addition, in
the event AMD conducts an audit (either by itself or through an independent auditor) of a third party providing any Services (or any part thereof), AMD shall make all such audit results available to Spansion promptly upon AMD’s receipt thereof
(and shall pass on to Spansion any adjustment pursuant to the budget reconciliation process). 
  

	9.	TAXES 

  
 9.1 General. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 9, the Fees paid to AMD are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, gross receipts,
excise, value-added, personal property, services or other Taxes (other than withholding taxes) (“Transaction Taxes”) attributable to periods on or after the Effective Date. In the event that Spansion is prohibited by law from making
any payment of Fees unless withholding taxes are deducted or withheld therefrom, then Spansion shall deduct such amounts as are necessary and pay the net amount to AMD after such deduction or withholding. Spansion shall promptly furnish AMD with a
copy of an official tax receipt or other appropriate evidence of any withholding taxes imposed on payments made under this Agreement. As part of this Agreement, Spansion shall issue AMD such valid tax exemption certificate(s) for the various state
and local taxing authorities as Spansion may legally issue and AMD may legally and reasonably request to cover Transaction Taxes legally imposed upon the transactions arising out of this Agreement. In the event that a Transaction Tax is assessed
against AMD on the provision of the Services by AMD to Spansion or on the Fees, however levied or assessed, Spansion shall reimburse AMD for or provide acceptable proof that Spansion has paid said amounts directly to the appropriate taxing
authority. Spansion shall accrue and pay the appropriate amount of Taxes due to any state or local taxing authority for Transaction Taxes . Spansion will be responsible for the proper reporting of Transaction Taxes to the taxing authorities, and any
charges associated with such filings, including but not limited to, interest or penalties due to the taxing authorities. AMD and Spansion agree to mutually cooperate in a reasonable manner for the purpose of minimizing all Transaction Taxes that are
to be paid directly or indirectly by Spansion. AMD grants Spansion the right to pursue a separate action against any governmental unit which asserts Transaction Taxes and AMD agrees to cooperate in a reasonable manner with Spansion if such action is
taken. 
  
 9.2 Confidentiality; Disclosure to Taxing
Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the Parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, each Party shall be permitted to disclose the
tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby (and any related transactions or arrangements). This permission to disclose includes the ability of each Party to consult, without limitation of any kind, any tax advisor
regarding the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby (and any related transactions or arrangements). This provision is intended to comply with Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(ii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. Each Party acknowledges that this 

  

 15 








 
written authorization does not constitute a waiver by any Party of any privilege held by such Party pursuant to the attorney-client privilege or the
confidentiality privilege of Code Section 7525(a). 
  
 9.3
Other Taxes. Spansion and AMD shall each bear sole responsibility for franchise and privilege taxes on its business, taxes based on its net income, and employment taxes with respect to its employees. 
  
 9.4 New Equipment. Spansion shall bear sole responsibility for all
sales, use, gross receipts, excise, value-added or personal property taxes attributable to new equipment and any third party maintenance thereon procured by AMD on behalf of Spansion, with the consent of Spansion pursuant to the Change Control
Procedures in connection with AMD’s performance of Services under this Agreement (provided Spansion obtains unencumbered title to such equipment). 
  
 9.5 Cooperation. Spansion and AMD shall cooperate to segregate the Fees into the following separate payment categories: (a) those for taxable
Services; and (b) those for nontaxable Services. 
  
 9.6
Invoices. For any Taxes that AMD is entitled to collect from Spansion hereunder for remittance to the applicable Governmental Authority, AMD shall separately state the amount of such Taxes on its invoice. If AMD fails to timely comply with
the foregoing obligation, AMD shall be responsible for any resulting noncompliance with Law. 
  

	10.	PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. 

  
 10.1 In General. In connection with this Agreement, all intellectual property developed by AMD in performing the Services will be owned by AMD.

  
 10.2 Other Software. The license of Other Software will
be agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Change Control Procedures, as a Special Project, or as part of the Annual Budget Process. At such time, the Parties will agree whether the Other Software will be licensed by AMD and sublicensed to
Spansion, or whether Spansion will obtain the license to the Other Software directly with sufficient rights for AMD to use the Other Software on Spansion’s behalf. If licensed by AMD, Spansion will bear any associated license and maintenance
fees as either a Pass-Through Expense or as part of the AMD internal Fees, except to the extent already included as an AMD internal Fee or Pass-Through Expense, in which case AMD shall itself bear such expense and not charge Spansion therefor. In
the event Spansion must pay license fees for Other Software directly, and such fees are included in the AMD internal Fees or Pass-Through Expenses, AMD shall reimburse Spansion for such amount, due within ninety (90) days of Spansion’s
notification to AMD thereof. The foregoing shall not apply to Software licensed to Spansion under a Statement of Work attached hereto as of the Amendment Date. 
  

	11.	CONFIDENTIALITY 

  
 11.1 Obligations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all proprietary or nonpublic information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing
Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement, directly or indirectly, which information is

disclosure and reduced in writing or other tangible (including electronic) form that includes a prominent confidentiality notice and delivered to the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of disclosure, or (b) provided under circumstances
reasonably indicating that it constitutes confidential and proprietary information, constitutes the confidential and proprietary information of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party may disclose
Confidential Information only to those employees who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound to retain the confidentiality thereof under provisions (including provisions relating to nonuse and nondisclosure) no less
restrictive than those required by the Receiving Party for its own confidential information. The Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its employees to, retain in confidence and not disclose to any third party (including any of its sub-contractors)
any Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s express prior written consent, and the Receiving Party shall not use such Confidential Information except to exercise the rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care which it uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance, and in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving
Party shall be fully responsible for compliance by its employees with the foregoing, and any act or omission of an employee of the Receiving Party shall constitute an act or omission of the Receiving Party. The confidentiality obligations set forth
in this Section 11.1 shall apply and continue, with regard to all Confidential Information disclosed hereunder, during the Term and for a period of ten (10) years from the date of termination of this Agreement. 
  
 11.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information will not include information that: (a) was already known by the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any third party, at the time of disclosure hereunder, as evidenced by the
Receiving Party’s tangible (including written or electronic) records in existence at such time; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party hereunder; (c)
became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (d) was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the Receiving
Party by an Entity or person other than the Disclosing Party not subject to any duty of confidentiality with respect thereto; or (e) was developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing
Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s tangible (including written or electronic) records in existence at such time. 
  
 11.3 Confidentiality of Agreement; Publicity. Each Party agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential
Information and that no reference shall be made thereto without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) except (a) as required by Law, provided that in the case of any filing with a
Governmental Authority that would result in public disclosure of the terms hereof, the Parties shall mutually cooperate to limit the scope of public disclosure to the greatest extent possible, (b) to its accountants, banks, financing sources,
lawyers and other professional advisors, provided that such parties undertake in writing (or are otherwise bound by rules of professional conduct) to keep such information strictly confidential, (c) in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement, or (d) pursuant to agreed joint press releases prepared in good

	13.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 

  
 13.1 The Parties hereby agree that claims, disputes or controversies of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the

Service at any time and for any reason upon at least six (6) months’ advance notice. 
  
 14.2 Individual Service Termination for Cause. If AMD has failed to comply with the applicable Service Levels for a particular Service and has
failed to rectify its performance failure pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 5 above, then subject Spansion’s compliance with Section 5.2, Spansion may terminate AMD’s provision of all or part of such Service after sixty (60)
days have elapsed since initial notification of the failure and either perform such Service itself or obtain the services of a third party. The Fees will be adjusted accordingly.  
  
 14.3 Termination for Cause. 
  

(a) If AMD defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, and does not cure such default within
ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice of default from Spansion, then Spansion may, without limiting Spansion’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, by giving notice to AMD, terminate this Agreement, in whole or in affected part,
as of the termination date specified in the notice. 
  
 (b) If Spansion fails to make payments due to AMD under this Agreement and does not cure such default within ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice of default from AMD, then AMD may, by giving notice to Spansion, terminate this

Assistance Period, (a) AMD shall provide consulting services to Spansion regarding the Services on an “as requested” basis at rates to be agreed upon by the Parties and (b) each Party shall deliver to the other Party any remaining reports,
documentation and materials still in its possession and owned by the other Party, other than reports, documentation and materials licensed to the Party possessing the same after the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. 
  
 14.5 Survival. Sections
8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2, 13, 14, 15 and 16 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 15.1 Consequential Damages. Except for breaches of confidentiality obligations, in no event will either Spansion or AMD be liable for, nor shall
the measure of damages include, any damages for lost profits, lost income or lost revenue, or for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, arising out of or relating to its performance or failure to perform under this Agreement,
whether based on an action or claim in contract, equity, negligence or otherwise, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. 
  
 15.2 Direct Damages. Each of the Parties shall be liable to the other for any direct damages arising out of or relating to its performance or

 15.3 Basis of the Bargain. Each Party acknowledges that the foregoing limitations are an essential element of the Agreement between the Parties and
that in the absence of such limitations the pricing and other terms set forth in this Agreement would be substantially different. 
  

	16.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

Parties are, and will remain independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to constitute the Parties as partners, or principal and agent for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Party will bind, or attempt to bind, the other Party
hereto to any contract or other obligation, and neither Party will represent to any third party that it is authorized to act on behalf of the other Party to this Agreement. 
  
 16.2 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of

of the provisions of this Agreement or of a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect or delay by a Party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any
time will not be construed and will not be deemed to be a waiver of such Party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such Party’s right to take
subsequent action. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege granted under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
