 Exhibit 10.32 
  
 AGENCY AGREEMENT 
  
 This AGENCY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective as of April 1, 2005 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between SPANSION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Spansion”), and ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES,
INC., a Delaware corporation (“AMD”). Spansion and AMD are hereinafter also referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” Capitalized but undefined terms shall have the meaning set forth
in the Distribution Agreement (as defined below). 
  
 WHEREAS,
in connection with the formation of Spansion LLC, AMD and Spansion entered into that certain AMD Distribution Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003 (the “Distribution Agreement”), as amended, whereby Spansion appointed AMD as one
of Spansion’s sole initial distributors of Products; 
  
 WHEREAS, as part of the restructuring of the relationship between AMD and Spansion, Spansion agreed to hire the AMD sales force that had been selling the Products to AMD customers in the course of AMD’s performance of its
obligations under the Distribution Agreement and effective as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, those former AMD employees became employees of Spansion; 
  

WHEREAS, the Parties contemplate terminating the Distribution Agreement, but during a transition period beginning on the Effective Date AMD will
still have responsibilities to its customers to supply Products and will still have the contractual relationship with such Product customers; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties will separately amend the Distribution Agreement, in conjunction with other required amendments to Spansion’s
distribution agreement with Fujitsu Limited of even date with the Distribution Agreement (the “Fujitsu Agreement”), to address the wind-down of the Distribution Agreement and the eventual termination of AMD’s role as a distributor of
the Products; and 
  
 WHEREAS, until such time as AMD no
longer acts as a distributor, AMD will need access to Spansion’s Product sales force in order to continue to market and sell Products under the Distribution Agreement and Spansion is willing to provide such access; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Transition Assistance. Until such time as the Distribution Agreement is terminated
and AMD is no longer distributing Products in accordance with the Distribution Agreement, AMD hereby appoints Spansion as its sales agent to assist AMD in fulfilling AMD’s obligations under the Distribution Agreement and to carry out AMD’s
sales, marketing and customer support activities regarding the Products on AMD’s behalf and in AMD’s name with existing and new AMD Product customers. Spansion is hereby authorized to communicate with existing and potential Customers
regarding the Products, and to accept Product purchase orders on AMD’s behalf from existing Product customers, each on AMD’s behalf and in AMD’s name; provided that the purchase order terms are consistent with existing AMD policies
and procedures. Spansion is not authorized to transact any other business in the name of AMD or to assume or 

 
create any obligation or responsibility binding upon AMD in any matter whatsoever except as expressly authorized under this Agreement unless Spansion has
received prior specific written consent from AMD. Spansion agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such sales, marketing and support activities in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in which such activities were
performed by AMD prior to the Effective Date. This Agreement does not establish or constitute Spansion as AMD’s representative or agent for any purpose other than the marketing, sales and customer support of Products in furtherance of
AMD’s rights and responsibilities under the Distribution Agreement. Except as expressly set forth above, the relationship of the parties under this Agreement shall be, and shall at all times remain, one of independent contractors and not that
of employer and employee, franchisor and franchisee or joint venturers. 
  
 2.
New Customers. Until such time as the Distribution Agreement is terminated or is amended to permit Spansion to sell Products directly, as the case may be, any new Product customers may be engaged directly by Spansion on AMD’s behalf with
AMD’s prior consent. AMD agrees to consent to all such engagements by Spansion except that any new Product sales agreements with new Product customers must be approved by AMD on a case by case basis and executed by a duly-authorized
representative of AMD. AMD agrees to assign any such agreements to Spansion that are freely assignable by AMD and to request the consent of the customer to assign such agreements to Spansion where consent by the customer for assignment is required,
upon amendment or termination of the Distribution Agreement, as the case may be. 
  
 3. Communication. The Parties shall meet regularly during the transition phase, but not less than once per calendar month, to coordinate sales, marketing and support activities. Each Party shall designate a senior primary contact
person to manage this relationship and to resolve any disputes that may arise. Either Party can change its primary contact person at any time upon written notice to the other Party. 
  
 4. Consideration. The Parties agree that this Agreement is transitional in nature and is intended to accommodate the eventual
termination of the Distribution Agreement. The Parties shall each bear their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the matters set forth in this Agreement except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in other agreements between the
Parties. In addition, in consideration of Spansion’s agency services under this Agreement, AMD agrees to waive any payment of any commissions that may be set forth in the Distribution Agreement. 
  
 5. Confidentiality. The confidentiality provisions set forth in the Distribution
Agreement shall govern the exchange of information under this Agreement. 
  
 6.
Term; Termination. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and continue in effect until the transition of AMD Product customers and distribution responsibilities has been completed in accordance with a transition plan to be
adopted by the Parties as part of amending or terminating the Distribution Agreement. The Parties may choose to terminate this Agreement earlier by mutual written agreement. Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement. 
  
 7. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT
SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. 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 terms set forth in this Agreement would be
substantially different. 
  
 8. Disclaimer of Warranty. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that all services provided under this Agreement are provided “AS IS,” without any warranty of any kind. 
  
 9. Miscellaneous. 
  
 A. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard
to conflicts of laws principles. 
  
 B. Assignment.
Except to the extent provided by the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of either party shall be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest upon a change of control, merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning party. Any unauthorized assignment or delegation shall
be null and void ab initio. All of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. 
  
 C. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for a failure
or delay in its performance under this Agreement where such failure or delay is the result of fire, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, act of God, riot, labor dispute, war, embargo, armed hostilities or acts of terrorism, any declaration
of war by Congress or any other national or international emergency, the intervention of any governmental authority, or any other cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control. 
  
 D. Interpretation. The parties have negotiated this Agreement with opportunity to consult their respective
attorneys. Accordingly, the language of this Agreement shall not be construed for or against any party. This Agreement shall not be modified, supplemented, qualified, or interpreted by any trade usage or prior course of dealings between the parties
not expressly made a part of this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Distribution Agreement. 
  
 E. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is found invalid or unenforceable by a court, governmental
agency or administrative body of competent jurisdiction in a particular territory, then that provision shall be amended for purposes of that territory only as required to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible in that territory
while still achieving as nearly as possible the same economic, legal and contractual effect as the original provision in that territory and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 F. Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial waiver thereof include any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

	2.	 	FOUNDRY SERVICES 

  
 2.1 Foundry Services. For the Term of this Agreement, TSMC shall manufacture and TSMC NA sell and deliver to Company Contract Wafers and Company
Product and at Company’s request TSMC shall perform mask-making (and photolithography optimization). In addition, TSMC shall perform wafer probe testing and other associated manufacturing tasks including performing failure analysis, process
engineering, and pre-production testing, qualification and optimization activities described below. ****. TSMC shall also work with Company to successfully conclude the technology transfer of necessary manufacturing technology, and other activities
agreed upon by the Parties in writing and set forth in any Process Supplement or Product Supplement. Collectively, these tasks to be performed by TSMC and TSMC NA are the “Foundry Services.” Foundry agrees to perform the
Foundry Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Company will be 

  

	*	 	Confidential treatment has been requested pursuant to the Confidential Treatment Request dated August 11, 2005. 

  

 6 

 
responsible for product design; for assembly, final test, marking and packaging; and for distribution and sales and may perform or arrange for mask-making.

  
 2.2 Outsourcing/Delegation. Foundry may engage
affiliates or third parties to perform certain ancillary Foundry Services (such as mask-making, wafer probe testing, Wafer transport, product engineering and support), provided, however, that Foundry shall: (a) actively oversee and monitor the
provision of such Foundry Services; (b) remain primarily liable to Company for such affiliates (including without limitation TSMC NA) or third parties (including for any breach of this Agreement by such third parties); (c) Foundry agrees
to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any failure on the part of any Foundry’s affiliates or such third parties to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (d) not engage any affiliate or third party to provide a
Foundry Service in which such third party would receive or have access to any Company Confidential Information (or matter from which such information could be derived) unless (i) Company has approved such affiliate or third party in writing,
and (ii) such affiliate or third party has agreed in writing to confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information which are at least as protective as those set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, TSMC shall not
outsource or delegate to any affiliate or third party the manufacture of Contract Wafers nor shall this section otherwise limit TSMC’s obligation to manufacture Contract Wafer’s solely at the Facilities. 
  
 2.3 Site Restriction. All manufacturing of Contract Wafers will take
place at the Facilities. If TSMC desires to manufacture Contract Wafers at another facility or transfer any Company Technology or Company Technical Information to another TSMC facility, it will give Company at least one hundred and eighty
(180) days prior notice of the relocation to the new facility and the parties will mutually agree to a reasonable transition plan to avoid adverse impact on Company’s revenue stream. If Company notifies TSMC within ninety (90) days of
its reasonable objection to the new location, TSMC will not transfer the manufacture of such materials to the new facility. If a transfer occurs, all transferred Contract Wafers and manufacturing processes will be requalified to the extent
necessary. Company realizes that for reasons of higher volumes; lower defect density, newer equipment or backup capacity that a transfer to another factory may be in the best interest of both Parties. If the transfer to another facility is made
because Company’s demand for Contract Wafers exceeds the manufacturing capacity initially established by the Parties or as a result of other Company requirements, the Parties shall mutually agree upon the allocation of additional costs caused
by such transfer. If the transfer to another facility occurs solely for TSMC’s convenience or for other causes not directly related to Company interests, TSMC shall bear the costs of the transfer. Company will use reasonable efforts to
rationalize the details relating to foundry transfers for both Parties benefit. 
  
 2.4 Future Technology Nodes. This Agreement contemplates that production of the Contract Wafers will initially use Company’s 110nm Company Process under Process Supplement Number 1. The Parties anticipate
that, if they successfully commence production volumes of such Contract Wafers, they will extend their foundry business relationship to smaller feature sized (90nm, 65nm, other nodes) products under subsequent Process Supplements. In that regard,
promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall discuss the terms and conditions appropriate to implementing Company’s process technology at the 90nm technology node. Such arrangements shall be implemented as a Process Supplement to

  

 7 

 
this Agreement, provided, however, that for each technology node the Parties shall separately establish a pricing formula or matrix that shall be the
basis on which the pricing for all products for such node shall be substantially derived (e.g., for a particular node the Parties may develop a pricing matrix based on masks layers, metal layers, process steps or other variables as the Parties so
agree). 
  
 2.5 Sole Source Foundry. During the Term,
Company may in its sole discretion designate TSMC (in the applicable Product Supplement or otherwise) as Company’s sole third party foundry for the supply of specified Contract Wafers to be provided under this Agreement. Such designation may be

and laws in the performance of their respective duties and obligations including, but not limited to, those relating to restrictions on export and to approval of agreements. TSMC will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all approvals and
licenses, including export licenses, permits and governmental authorizations from the appropriate governmental authorities as may be required, to enable such Foundry to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Foundry agrees to give reasonable
assistance to the other in obtaining any such approvals, export licenses, permits, or governmental authorizations. 
  
 (b) Each Party agrees that, unless prior written authorization is obtained from the United States Bureau of Export Administration, it will not export,
re-export, or transship, directly or indirectly, any products or technical information that would be in contravention of the Export Administration Regulations then in effect as published by the United States Department of Commerce. 
  
 (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party will indemnify and
hold the other harmless from any claims or damages incurred arising from a breach of this Section by the indemnifying party, and Company will indemnify and hold Foundry harmless from any claims or damages incurred by Foundry resulting from
Company’s use of Contract Wafers or Company Products for military applications. 
  
 19.13 Non-Solicitation of Employees.

organizational unit of the other Party involved with the performance of this Agreement for employment, either directly through any of its employees, or indirectly through any agent or third party such as an recruiting agency or headhunter; provided,
however, that if any such employee first contacts a Party seeking employment, the restrictions of this section 19.13 shall not apply. 
  
 (b) Before making an offer of employment to any individual who is or was employed by any organizational unit of the other Party involved with the
performance of this Agreement, a Party shall provide notice of its intent to make such an offer to the Coordinator of the other Party, and the Parties shall then discuss the circumstances which led to the Party’s potential employment offer and
the impact on their business relationship should any offer be made by the Party and accepted by such individual. Should a Party fail to comply with this obligation, such Party shall pay the other Party for the reasonable costs the other Party incurs
in hiring a qualified replacement for such individual.
