Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy

 Exhibit 10.5(a) 
 ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 
 Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy 
 Amended and Restated as of February 12, 2009 
 1. General. This Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) is adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with Section 12 of the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized but undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings provided for in the Plan. 
 2.
Board Authority. Pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan, the Board is responsible for adopting a policy for the grant of Awards under the Plan to Outside Directors (as defined therein), which policy is to include a written, non-discretionary
formula and also specify, with respect to any such awards, the conditions on which such awards shall be granted, become exercisable and/or payable, and expire, and such other terms and conditions as the Board determines in its discretion.

 3. Equity Grants to Directors. 
 (i) “Off-Cycle” Initial Grant. On the date of an Outside Director’s initial appointment to the Board that occurs other than on the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at
which Outside Directors are elected, such Outside Director shall be granted, automatically and without necessity of any action by the Board or any committee thereof, the number of Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, granted pursuant to this Policy to
each Outside Director at the immediately preceding annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Initial RSU Grant”). 
 (ii) Annual Grant. The Board’s practice is to provide annual equity compensation awards to its members the value of which is competitive with the value of equity compensation awards provided to the members
of board of directors of other technology based global companies. Based on analysis of competitive equity compensation grant practices that the Board has reviewed, Outside Directors are currently eligible to receive annual grants having a value
equal to $225,000, as follows: Provided that he or she has served as a member of the Board continuously for at least six months prior to such date, each Outside Director shall be granted, automatically and without necessity of any action by the
Board or any committee thereof, the number of RSUs, equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient of (i) $225,000 divided by (ii) the Average Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (rounded down to the nearest whole number) under
the Plan on the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders where such Outside Director is elected, beginning with the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held in 2007 or (B) such number of RSUs as the Board may
determine based on such additional criteria as the Board considers appropriate to evaluate in its sole discretion, which criteria may include without limitation: business conditions and/or Company performance, outside director compensation practices
at the Company’s then applicable peer companies and advice from and consultation with the Company’s outside compensation consultant (the “Annual RSU Grant,” together with the Initial RSU Grants, the “RSU Grants”)).

 (iii) Average Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Policy, “Average Fair
Market Value” means the average of the closing stock prices for the Shares for the 180 day period immediately preceding and ending with the date of grant of an Initial RSU Grant or Annual RSU Grant. 
 4. Insufficient Shares. Further, if there are insufficient Shares available under the Plan for each Outside Director who is eligible to receive an
RSU Grant (as adjusted) in any year, the number of Shares subject to each RSU Grant in such year shall equal the total number of available Shares then remaining under the Plan divided by the number of Outside Directors who are eligible to receive an
RSU Grant on such date, as rounded down to avoid fractional Shares. 
 5. Vesting. Each RSU Grant shall vest and become exercisable
according to the following schedule: one-third on the first anniversary of the date of grant; one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant; and one-third on the third anniversary of the date of grant. 
 6. Deferral. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share upon vesting of such RSU. Receipt of the Shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs may
be deferred at the Outside Director’s election; provided, that such deferral election is (i) in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Department of Treasury
final regulations and guidance thereunder and (ii) pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in its discretion. 
 7. Termination of Service as an Outside Director. 
 (i) If an Outside Director’s tenure on the Board is
terminated for any reason other than Misconduct, then the Outside Director or the Outside Director’s estate, as the case may be, shall have the right for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date such tenure is terminated to
exercise previously granted Options held by such Outside Director to the extent the Outside Director was entitled to exercise such Option on the date the Outside Director’s tenure terminated; provided the actual date of exercise is in no
event after the expiration of the original term of the Option. An Outside Director’s “estate” shall mean the Outside Director’s legal representative or any person who acquires the right to exercise an Option by reason of the
Outside Director’s death or Disability. 
 (ii) If an Outside Director’s tenure on the Board is terminated due to
death, Disability, or retirement from service, Awards granted pursuant to this Policy shall become fully vested and/or exercisable; provided, that such Outside Director shall have served as a member of the Board for at least three years prior
to the date of such termination and shall have satisfied the Company’s equity ownership guidelines to the satisfaction of the Board during his or her service as a member of the Board. 
 8. Effect of Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, all Awards held by an Outside Director shall become fully vested and/or exercisable,
irrespective of any other provisions of the Outside Director’s Award Documentation. 
  

 2 

 9. Effect of Other Plan Provisions. The other provisions of the Plan shall apply to the Awards
granted automatically pursuant to this Policy, except to the extent such other provisions are inconsistent with this Policy. 
 10.
Treatment of Awards Previously Issued Under the Plan; Continued Grants under Prior Policy. 
 (i) Prior to
March 22, 2006 and continuing until the implementation of this Policy as revised effective as of May 3, 2007, the Company issued Awards to Outside Directors. Those grants will continue to be governed by the terms of this Policy as in
effect as of their date of grant; provided, however, that Section 7(ii) of this Policy shall apply retroactively to such awards previously granted. 
 (ii) With respect to any Outside Director appointed to the Board during the twelve month period prior to May 5, 2007, in addition to
the RSU grants described above, such Outside Director shall continue to be granted the remaining “First Options” (as defined in this Policy as in effect immediately prior to May 3, 2007 (the “Prior Policy”)) to which he
would be entitled under the Prior Policy without regard to the effectiveness of this Policy on May 3, 2007 and such grants will continue to be governed by the terms of this Policy as in effect prior to May 3, 2007; provided,
however, that Section 7(ii) of this Policy shall apply retroactively to such awards previously granted. 
 11. Incorporation
of the Plan. All applicable terms of the Plan apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of Awards hereby are subject in all respect to the terms of such Plan. 
 12. Written Grant Agreement. The grant of any Award under this Policy shall be made solely by and subject to the terms set forth in a written
agreement in a form to be approved by the Board and duly executed by an executive officer of the Company. 
 13. Policy Subject to
Amendment, Modification and Termination. This Policy may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board in the future at its sole discretion. No Outside Director shall have any rights hereunder unless and until an Award is actually granted.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board hereby expressly reserves the authority to terminate this Policy during any year up and until the election of directors at a given annual meeting of stockholders. 
 14. Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Policy, if an Outside Director has elected to defer the receipt of
Shares issuable upon vesting pursuant to Section 6 hereof and at the time of such Director’s “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the
Code) he or she is deemed by the Company to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed issuance of any portion of the Shares subject to an RSU to which he or she is entitled
under the terms of such RSU or deferral election agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of such Outside Director’s Shares shall not be issued prior to the
earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of his or her separation from service with the Company or (b) the date of his or her death. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all Shares deferred pursuant to this Section 14 shall be issued. 
 15. Effectiveness. This
policy as amended and restated shall become effective as of February 12, 2009.

 3Separation Agreement and General Release

 Exhibit 10.19 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE 
 This Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) is
made between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., and its subsidiaries, joint ventures or other affiliates (collectively, “AMD”) and Mario Rivas (“Employee”). 
 1. Separation / Final Payments. Employee’s termination of employment with AMD will become effective June 1, 2008 (“Separation
Date”). AMD will pay Employee his salary and accrued vacation earned through the Separation Date, subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings. Employee is entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not Employee signs this
Agreement. 
 2. Special Consideration. Although AMD has no policy or procedure requiring payment of any severance pay or other
benefits to terminating employees, in consideration of Employee’s release/waiver and other obligations as described herein, AMD will provide Employee with the following special consideration (“Special Consideration”) to which Employee
would not otherwise be entitled: 
  

	 	A.	A lump sum separation payment of $500,000.00, subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings (“Separation Payment”). If Employee signs the Agreement within the
consideration period described in paragraph 5 below, the Separation Payment will be made in a single lump sum (less required payroll deductions) within 30 business days of the date that Employee signs this Agreement, unless the Agreement is revoked
during the seven day revocation period specified in paragraph 5 below. 

  

	 	B.	A lump sum payment of $12,437.00 to cover 12 months COBRA health insurance premiums, subject to all required payroll deductions, payable subject to the same terms and conditions as
the Separation Payment. Employee is solely responsible for securing and/or continuing medical and/or life insurance coverage for himself and his family following the Separation Date. This payment will be made in the same manner described in 2(A).

 3. Special Consideration Exclusions. Employee specifically acknowledges and agrees that the Special Consideration
does not include, and that Employee is ineligible for, any type of compensation or benefit that is not specifically set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2, including (without limitation) the following: any other bonus, profit-sharing or any other type of
incentive compensation (including (without limitation) Vice President Long Term Incentive Plan (including cash and share based portions, if applicable) or Contribution Bonus participation); executive physical benefits; tax preparation or estate
planning services; continued participation in any 401(k) retirement savings or deferred profit sharing programs; any type of equity award (including (without limitation) any stock option or restricted stock unit award); participation in AMD’s
Employee Stock Purchase plan or disability insurance plan; or participation in AMD’s sabbatical program. As provided in the equity plan documents, Employee shall have 12 months from the Separation Date to exercise options vested as of the
Separation Date.  
 4. Release and Waiver. In return for the Special Consideration, Employee agrees, on behalf of himself and
all of his heirs and/or personal representatives, to release AMD, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, and all of their present or former officers, agents, employees, contingent and third-party workers, attorneys, employee benefit
programs, and the trustees, administrators, fiduciaries and insurers of such programs, from any and all claims for relief of any kind, whether known or unknown, which in any way arise out of or relate to Employee’s employment or the conclusion
of Employee’s employment with AMD. This release 

 
and waiver includes events occurring at any time up to and including the date Employee executes this Agreement, including (without limitation) any and all
statutory, contractual, tort or other common law claims, including (without limitation) all claims for wages, bonuses, incentive pay or other compensation. This release and waiver includes all such claims, whether under any applicable United States
federal or state laws, ordinances, executive orders or other legal regulations or restrictions, and to the extent permitted by law, including (without limitation) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
The Americans with Disabilities Act, the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Texas
Commission on Human Rights Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and the California Family Rights Act. Employee understands that this release does not affect his rights, if any, to vested retirement benefits or COBRA benefits under
AMD’s standard benefits programs applicable to Employee. Employee and AMD further agree that Employee does not release his rights for indemnity pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, dated December 5, 2006, by and between AMD and Employee.

 5. Release of Claims Under the ADEA. Employee acknowledges that he is knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any
rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Employee understands that he has up to twenty-one (21) days from the date of his receipt of this Agreement to consider the terms of the Agreement and understands that if he does
not accept this Agreement within such period, the Special Consideration offer is automatically withdrawn. Employee acknowledges that he has been advised by AMD to consult with an attorney concerning this Agreement, and that Employee had the
opportunity to do so. Employees understands that if he signs this Agreement, Employee will have seven (7) days to cancel it if he so chooses. Employee may cancel/revoke this Agreement only by delivering written notice of cancellation to:

 Jeff Worth 
 c/o Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. 
 5204 E. Ben White Blvd. 
 MS B600.1B-HR 
 Austin, TX 78741 
 email: jeff.worth@amd.com 
 If Employee elects to cancel/revoke this Agreement, Employee understands that he will not be entitled to receive
any of the Special Consideration. Employee acknowledges that this Agreement is not effective or enforceable until the seven-day period expires without cancellation/revocation. 
 6. Confidential Information / AMD Property. Employee confirms his continuing obligation not to use or disclose any of AMD’s trade secrets or
other confidential or proprietary information at any time. Employee further agrees to immediately return all AMD property Employee has in his possession. Employee acknowledges that while employed by AMD he may have had access to, acquired and/or
assisted in the development of confidential and proprietary information, inventions and trade secrets relating to the present and anticipated business and operations of AMD, including (without limitation) product information, product plans,
personnel data regarding employees of AMD, including salaries, and other information of a similar nature not available to the public. Employee agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose or use, either directly or indirectly, confidential or
proprietary information, without the prior written consent of AMD, or until the information otherwise becomes public knowledge. Nothing in this Agreement shall supersede nor relieve Employee of the obligations of any other confidentiality agreement
with AMD or at common law. Employee further agrees to return all AMD business records and all documents relating to AMD’s business he received while in AMD’s employ, including email; to identify all other AMD property Employee has in his
possession immediately; and to return such other property as requested by AMD. 

 7. Nondisparagement/Confidentiality/References. Employee agrees not to make any statements that
disparage the reputation of AMD, its products or employees, or engage in any activity that is detrimental to AMD. Employee further agrees that he will keep the terms, amount and facts of this Agreement completely confidential, and that Employee will
not disclose any information concerning this Agreement to any person except that Employee may disclose this Agreement to his attorney or spouse, as necessary in connection with the preparation of tax returns or other financial planning, or as
required by law. 
 The Parties agree that AMD will follow its standard practice with respect to responding to all reference requests
regarding Employee, which is to not provide any information regarding Employee. Employee agrees and understands that he may refer prospective employers to The Work Number, AMD’s third party reference administrator. 
 8. Cooperation. For the duration of Employee’s employment and as reasonably requested by AMD after the Separation Date, Employee agrees to
assist AMD and its attorneys in any formal or informal legal matters in which Employee is named as a party or of which he has relevant knowledge or documents, including any matters in which Employee is currently
involved. Employee acknowledges and agrees that such assistance may include, but will not be limited to, providing background information regarding any matter on which he previously worked, aiding in the drafting of declarations, executing
declarations or similar documents, testifying or otherwise appearing at investigation interviews, depositions, arbitrations or court hearings and preparation for the above-described or similar activities. AMD will use its best efforts to ensure that
any assistance requested will be arranged so as not to interfere unreasonably with other employment or Employee’s family commitments. AMD agrees to reimburse Employee for reasonable out of pocket costs Employee incurs in connection with
the foregoing, including but not limited to travel expenses, lodging expenses and other expenses incidental to such assistance, provided that such expenses are approved in advance by AMD. Employee agrees to submit reasonable documentation (receipts,
etc.) to evidence these expenses. Employee understands that Employee will receive no additional compensation for his assistance beyond the Special Consideration. 
 If Employee is contacted by any party, potential party, attorney or other individual or entity in regard to any dispute, potential dispute, litigation or potential litigation matter relating to or involving AMD,
Employee will first contact AMD before communicating with such person or persons, and will allow legal counsel of AMD’s choosing to participate in any such communication. 
 For the duration of Employee’s employment and continuing after the Separation Date, Employee promises not to encourage, counsel or assist (directly or indirectly) any current or former employee, or third-party in
the preparation, prosecution or defense of any civil dispute, difference, grievance, claim, charge or complaint involving AMD or any of its customers unless compelled to do so by valid legal process. If Employee receives notice
that Employee is required to provide testimony or information in any context about AMD, or any of its customers, to any third party, Employee agrees to inform Beth Ozmun (beth.ozmun@amd.com) (or her designee/successor) in writing within
24 hours of receiving such notice. Employee, thereafter, agrees to cooperate with AMD and its attorneys in responding to (if necessary) such legal process. In that regard, Employee agrees not to testify or provide any information unless AMD first
consents to Employee’s testimony in writing or AMD has informed Employee in writing that it has fully exhausted its efforts to challenge any request, subpoena or court order requiring Employee’s testimony. If Employee is required to
provide testimony in any such context, Employee is, of course, expected to testify truthfully. 
 If, during the remainder of his employment with AMD or at
any time after the Separation Date, Employee is required to give testimony in any legal proceeding involving or relating to AMD, any of its customers, or his employment with AMD, AMD agrees to provide without expense to the Employee, and Employee
agrees to retain, AMD’s outside counsel engaged in connection with the matter; provided, however, should there be an actual legal conflict of interest preventing such outside counsel from representing both AMD and Employee, then AMD shall
provide Employee substitute counsel of AMD’s choosing. 

 9. Re-Employment / Nonsolicitation. Employee agrees not to apply for or seek employment with AMD,
or any affiliate of AMD, in the future, unless approved in advance by AMD’s Senior HR executive, to whom Employee will disclose the existence of this Agreement. Employee further agrees that for twelve (12) months following the resignation
of his employment with AMD, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit the services of any AMD employee for another employer or enterprise, or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any AMD employee to terminate his/her employment with AMD.

 10. No Admissions. Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement does not constitute an admission of any kind by either
party, but is simply an accommodation that offers certain Special Consideration, to which Employee would not otherwise be entitled, in exchange for Employee agreeing to and signing this Agreement. 
 11. Forfeiture / Liquidated Damages. Employee understands and agrees that if Employee violates this Agreement, Employee automatically forfeits all
Special Consideration in its entirety. If Employee violates this Agreement after Employee has received any or all of the Special Consideration, Employee agrees that he will immediately return such Special Consideration to AMD as partial liquidated
damages. 
 12. Taxes/Advisors. Employee shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable income, employment, excise
or other taxes related to payments under this Agreement. AMD may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Employee
represents and warrants to AMD that he has had the opportunity to obtain his own legal and tax counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that he has not relied upon AMD, its officers, directors, employees, agents,
including its counsel, for legal or tax advice. 
 13. Release of Unknown Claims. Employee confirms that he has read Section 1542
of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
 Employee understands that Section 1542 gives Employee the right not to release existing claims of which he is not now aware, unless he voluntarily chooses to waive this right. With this knowledge, Employee
nevertheless voluntarily waives the rights described in Section 1542 or any other statute of similar effect, and elects to assume all risks for claims that may now exist in Employee’s favor, whether known or unknown. 
 14. Section 409A. To the extent applicable, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and it shall be interpreted in a manner that complies with such section to the fullest extent possible. AMD and Employee agree that AMD shall, with Employee’s written consent, have the power to adjust the timing or other details
relating to the payments described in this Agreement if AMD determines that such adjustments are necessary in order to comply with or become exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. 

 15. Miscellaneous. Employee is entering into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and is
satisfied that he has been given sufficient opportunity to consider it. Employee has carefully read and understands all of the provisions of this Agreement. Employee understands that this is the entire agreement between him and AMD with respect to
this subject matter, and Employee represents that no other statements, promises or commitments of any kind, written or oral, have been made to Employee by AMD to cause Employee to agree to the terms of this Agreement. After the Separation Date,
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Management Continuity Agreement by and between Employee and AMD, dated January 12, 2007, shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas and may not be modified, except by written instrument signed by both parties. If any clause, provision or paragraph of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such clause, provision or paragraph shall be deemed severed from the
Agreement and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Agreement. In any legal proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recovery of costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
