 Section 2.01. AMD Inc. and AMD Fab 36 Holding acknowledge, and consent to, the amendment of the AMD Fab 36 Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement

 ARTICLE III  
 Miscellaneous 
 Section 3.01. This agreement is governed by the law of the Federal
Republic of Germany. Application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980 is expressly excluded. 
 Section 3.02. 
 a) The parties shall endeavor to reach an amicable settlement of any dispute arising out of or in
connection with this agreement and its implementation, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination or its performance, or in connection with arrangements regarding the performance of this agreement. 
 b) If any party declares that a reasonable attempt at amicable settlement of a dispute mentioned in sub-section a) has failed, such dispute shall be
finally resolved by arbitration, to the exclusion of the courts of regular jurisdiction, under the Rules of Arbitration (Schiedsgerichtsordnung) of the German Arbitration Board (“Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtswesen

 c) The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be German and all documents written in a
language other than German shall be translated into the German language for the arbitration proceedings, unless otherwise decided by the parties to the arbitration proceedings. 
 d) The arbitral awards shall be substantiated in writing. The arbitration tribunal shall decide on the matter of costs of the arbitration and on the
allocation of expenditure among the respective parties to the arbitration proceedings. 
 Section 3.03. The German version of
this agreement shall be controlling. 
 Section 3.04. No modifications or amendments to this agreement shall be binding unless in
writing. This requirement of written form may only be waived in writing. 
 Section 3.05. If present or future terms of this
agreement are invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or lose their validity or enforceability at a later date, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The same shall apply insofar as it transpires that there is a
gap in this agreement. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced, or the gap filled, by a reasonable provision which, to the extent legally permissible, comes closest to what the contracting parties intended or would have intended in
accordance with the meaning and purpose of this agreement, had they considered the point upon conclusion hereof. This also applies if the invalidity of a provision results from a degree of performance standardized hereunder (set period, date); in
such cases a legally permissible degree of performance or time (set period, date), coming as close as possible to the intentions, shall replace what was agreed. 
 Section 3.06. In case of disputes arising among the parties hereto due to Sections 2.04 and 2.05 above, the arbitration tribunal (Section 3.02) shall be entitled to determine with binding force the
provision which is to apply thereunder.
