	4.
	all RSUs and Stock Options awarded to you as a part of the Sign-On and New Hire stock grants detailed in this offer shall, to the extent then outstanding and unvested, become fully vested and exercisable (in the case of the Stock Options); and

		
	5.
	the service-based vesting conditions applicable to all then outstanding and unvested PRSUs awarded to you as a part of the New Hire stock grant detailed in this offer shall be deemed satisfied, and such PRSUs shall remain outstanding and shall vest or be forfeited based on actual performance for the applicable performance period, as set forth in the PRSU award agreement. 

The Separation Agreement will provide for (i) a mutual release and waiver of all claims between you and AMD and its affiliates (but excluding from such mutual release any claims AMD or an affiliate may have against you arising from your intentional misconduct, your breach of AMD’s customary confidentiality agreement, or your breach of the non-solicitation and non-compete restrictive covenants described below), (ii) a non-competition provision pursuant to which you agree that you will not, for a period of six (6) months following your termination of employment, without the prior written consent of AMD’s Chief Executive Officer, become employed by or a service provider to, or otherwise engage in any business or activity (whether directly or indirectly, as a partner, more than 1% shareholder, principal, agent, director, or affiliate) on behalf of, Intel Corporation and/or Nvidia Corporation, (iii) a non-solicitation provision pursuant to which you agree that you will not, for a period of one (1) year following your termination of employment, solicit AMD employees in accordance with AMD’s standard non-solicitation agreement, and (iv) a reaffirmation of your continuing obligations (if any) under any other written agreements with AMD (including, without limitation, the AMD Agreement).
For this purpose, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without your prior written consent: (i) a material reduction in your annual base salary, other than as part of a general reduction in the base salaries of each of the Company’s named executive officers in substantially the same proportions; (ii) a material reduction in your annual target bonus opportunity under the Executive Incentive Plan (or any successor annual bonus plan) other than as part of a general reduction in the annual target bonuses of each of the Company’s named executive officers in substantially the same proportions; (iii) the failure by AMD to issue the sign-on and/or new-hire stock or long-term incentive grants detailed in your offer letter or a material reduction in your annual long-term incentive grant value other than as part of a general reduction in the annual long-term incentive grant value of each of the Company’s named executive officers in substantially the same proportions; (iv) a material diminution in your authority, duties, or responsibilities (other than temporarily or while you are physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law), (v) the relocation of your principal place of employment to a facility that is more than fifty (50) miles outside of the Austin, Texas metropolitan area; provided, however, that you may not terminate your employment for Good Reason unless (x) you have provided written notice to AMD’s Chief Executive Officer of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such grounds, (y) AMD has had at least thirty (30) days from the date on which such notice is provided to cure such circumstances and has failed to cure such circumstances, and (z) you terminate your employment within ten days of the expiration of such thirty (30)-day cure period.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on your part, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith or with reasonable belief that your action or omission was not in the best interests of AMD. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by AMD’s board of directors or based upon the advice of counsel for AMD shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of AMD.
The Severance Benefits are intended to be the exclusive severance benefits payable to you during the first three years of your employment with AMD; provided, however, that, if you receive severance benefits payable in connection with a change of control of AMD pursuant to your Change in Control Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree that no Severance Benefits will be paid or provided to you under the terms of this Agreement.

	1.
	Sign-On Bonus. AMD agrees to pay Employee a one-time Sign-On Bonus of $300,000 (USD) (“Bonus”), within thirty (30) days of Employee’s first day of work for AMD (“Hire Date”) and subject to all required taxes and withholdings.

	2.
	Repayment of Bonus. Employee agrees to repay to AMD all or a prorated amount of the Bonus, according to the following terms:

Employee further agrees that Employee will repay the Bonus by no later than the effective date of the employment termination, and that any outstanding balance on such repayment obligation is delinquent and immediately collectable the day following the effective date of termination, or on the date notice of resignation is provided, whichever is earlier.

		
	(b)
	Repayment Forgiveness. AMD agrees to forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement where AMD terminates Employee’s employment due to a company- or department-wide reduction-in-force. AMD may also, in its sole discretion, forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement under circumstances of an extraordinary or unavoidable nature. The Parties agree that Employee’s voluntary termination of his/her employment, or AMD’s termination of Employee’s employment for any reason other than those stated in this section 2(b), are not conditions requiring forgiveness of any repayment due AMD under this Agreement.

		
	3.
	No Guarantee of Continued Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement guarantees employment for any period of time.

		
	4.
	Consent to Offset. Employee agrees that any repayment due AMD under this Agreement may be deducted to the extent permitted by law from any amounts due Employee from AMD at the time of employment termination, including wages, accrued vacation pay, incentive compensation payments, bonuses and commissions, and hereby expressly authorizes such deduction(s).

		
	5.
	Acknowledgements and Integration. Employee understands he/she has the right to discuss this Agreement with any individual, and that to the extent desired, he/she has availed himself/herself of this opportunity. Employee further acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, and that he/she is voluntarily entering into it without any duress or pressure from AMD. Employee also understands and acknowledges that this Agreement is the entire agreement between him/her and AMD with respect to this subject matter, and Employee acknowledges that AMD has not made any other statements, promises or commitments of  any kind (written or oral) to cause Employee to agree to the terms of this Agreement.

		
	6.
	Severability. The Parties agree that should any provision of this Agreement be declared or determined by any court to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall nonetheless remain binding and enforceable and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) shall be modified only so much as necessary to comply with applicable law.
