TERMS AND CONDITIONS
STOCK OPTION AWARD
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
These Terms and Conditions (these “
Terms and Conditions
”), collectively with the Stock Option Grant Notice (the “
Grant Notice
”) and any country-specific terms and conditions contained in the Appendix hereto, as applicable (the “
Appendix
”), comprise your agreement (the “
Agreement
”) with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”), regarding the grant of stock options (the “
Options
”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “
Shares
”), as set forth in the Grant Notice, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Grant Notice (the “
Exercise Price
”), awarded under the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “
Plan
”). Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan.
1.
Vesting of Options
. The Options will vest on the date(s) shown on the Grant Notice provided that you continue to be an active Service Provider through each vesting date.
2.
Exercise of Options
.
(a)
Right to Exercise
. The Options are exercisable during their term in accordance with the vesting schedule set out in the Grant Notice and the applicable provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. The Options may only be exercised for whole Shares.
(b)
Method of Exercise
. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Options are exercisable during your lifetime only by you, and after your death only by your legal representative. The Options may only be exercised by the delivery to the Company of a properly completed written notice of exercise (the “
Notice of Exercise
”), in the form specified by the Administrator or its designee, which may be electronic or written. The Notice of Exercise must specify the number of Shares to be purchased and the Exercise Price for such Shares, together with payment in full of such aggregate Exercise Price and all applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 7). In the event the Options or a portion thereof are exercised by any person or persons other than you, the Options may only be exercised by the delivery to the Company of appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Options. Payment must be made in a manner permitted in Section 3 below or as authorized by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan and/or as specified in the Appendix. The Options may not be exercised unless you agree to be bound by such documents as the Administrator may reasonably require, including all Award Documentation. The Notice of Exercise must be received by the Company prior to the termination or expiration of the Option.
(c)
Exercise Price
. The Exercise Price shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge;
provided
,
however
, that the price per Share subject to the Options shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if these Options are designated as Incentive Stock Options and you own (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or any “parent corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), the price per Share subject to the Options shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
The Administrator may deny any exercise otherwise permitted hereunder if the Administrator determines, in its discretion, that such exercise could result in a violation of U.S. federal, state or foreign securities laws.
3.
Method of Payment
. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price must be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, unless provided otherwise in the Appendix:
(a) cash; certified cashier’s check; or wire transfer;
(b) as permitted by Applicable Laws, through a sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which you (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) provided irrevocable instructions (A) to a Company-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares plus all applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 7 below) and (B) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale;
(c) surrender of Shares held by you that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price;
(d) any other method authorized by the Administrator.
4.
Nontransferability of Options
. The Options may not be pledged, assigned, sold or otherwise transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the Options have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. Neither the Options nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of you or your successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. The terms of the Plan and the Agreement will be binding upon your executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns.
5.
Term of Option
. The Options may be exercised only within the term set out in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than seven years from the Grant Date, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the Agreement. If these Options are designated as Incentive Stock Options and you owned (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Options were granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or any “parent corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), the term shall be in no event more than five years from the Grant Date.
6.
Termination as a Service Provider
.
(a)
Termination Generally
. If your status as an active Service Provider terminates for any reason, other than death or Disability or for Misconduct, vested Options may be exercised at any time before the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in the Grant Notice or (ii) the date that is three (3) months after your date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only to the extent you were entitled to exercise the Options at the date of termination, as described in Section 1 and 2 hereof and in the Grant Notice and provided that in no case will any post-termination exercise period extend beyond the expiration date set forth in the Grant Notice.
(b)
Termination Due to Death or Disability
. If your status as an active Service Provider terminates due to your death or Disability, any Options that would have vested in the calendar year of your death or Disability are immediately vested. You (or your heirs, as applicable) will have twelve (12) months from the date your status as a Service Provider is terminated due to death or Disability to exercise any vested Options. In no case will the post-termination exercise period extend beyond the term limit for the Options as set out in the Grant Notice.
(d)
Termination due to Misconduct
. If your status as an active Service Provider is terminated due to Misconduct (as defined in the Plan), the Company reserves the right to cancel all of your Options, whether vested or unvested.
7.
Responsibility for Taxes
. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, your employer (the “
Employer
”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“
Tax-Related Items
”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further
acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items (including hypothetical withholding tax amounts if you are covered under a Company tax equalization policy). In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer;
(b)
withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale (specifically including where you exercise this Option in accordance with Section 3(b) above) or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) without your further consent or direction;
(c)
withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options; or
(d)
payment in cash, certified or cashier’s check, or wire transfer of the Tax-Related Items at the time of exercise.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercise, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
If you are covered by a Company tax equalization policy, you agree to pay to the Company any additional hypothetical tax obligation calculated and paid under the terms and conditions of such tax equalization policy. Finally, you must pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.
Other Terms and Conditions
.
(a)
The Plan
. The Agreement is further subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. Only certain provisions of the Plan are described in the Agreement. As a condition to your receipt and exercise of the Options, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Plan.
(b)
Stockholder Rights
. Until the Shares are issued upon exercise, you have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the Options.
(c)
Employment Relationship
. Nothing in the Agreement will confer on you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or the Employer or interfere with or restrict rights of the Company or the Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time.
(d)
Change of Control
. If your employment is terminated by the Company or the Employer for any reason other than for Misconduct or, if applicable, by you as a result of a Constructive Termination, within one year after a Change of Control, then the Options will become fully vested upon the date of termination.
(e)
Declination of Options
. If you wish to decline your Options, you must complete and file the Declination of Grant form with Corporate Compensation and Benefits by the deadline for such declination. Your declination is non-revocable, and you will not receive any other benefits or compensation as replacement for the declined Options.
(f)
Recovery in the Event of a Financial Restatement
. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Administrator will review all equity-based compensation (including the Options) awarded to employees at the Senior Vice President level and above. If the Administrator (in its sole discretion) determines that you were directly involved with fraud, misconduct or gross negligence that contributed to or resulted in such accounting restatement, the Administrator may, to the extent permitted by governing law and as appropriate under the circumstances, recover for the benefit of the Company all or a portion of the equity-based compensation awarded to you, including (without limitation) by cancelation, forfeiture, repayment and disgorgement of profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company;
provided, however
, the Administrator will not have the authority to recover any equity-based compensation awarded more than 18 months prior to the date of the first public issuance or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”) (whichever first occurs) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. In determining whether to seek recovery, the Administrator may take into account any considerations it deems appropriate, including Applicable Laws and whether the assertion of a recovery claim may prejudice the interests of the Company in any related proceeding or investigation.
(g)
Incentive Stock Options
. If you are a U.S. taxpayer and your Options are designated as Incentive Stock Options, you hereby acknowledge that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Options are granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Options (if applicable), are exercisable for the first time by you in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options and such other options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. You further acknowledge that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Options and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. You acknowledge that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after your termination of employment, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
9.

.
In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b) the grant of the Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(e) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f) the Options and the Shares subject to the Options, and the value of income of such Options and Shares, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) the Option grant and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or other service relationship with the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates;
(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value;
(k) if you exercise the Options and obtain Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

(m) in the event of termination of your status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of Applicable Laws), your right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed or providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable local laws (
e.g
., active employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to Applicable Laws); the Administrator will have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of your Options (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(n) the Options and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger of the Company with or into another company or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; and
(o) the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States:

No Advice Regarding Grant
. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.

11.

. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement and any other Award Documentation by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, and their respective Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“
Data
”).
You understand that Data may be transferred to a Company-designated Plan broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (
e.g.
, the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company, its Plan broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.

Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by you under the Options or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares issued upon exercise of the Options) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy.
13.

16.
Further Instruments

Trigger Date
”), then the Company will, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture of any or all of the Options, the Shares issued to you upon exercise of the Options or the proceeds you received therefrom, provided, that such Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture shall not apply to the Options, the Shares issued to you upon exercise of Options, to the extent that such Options was exercised earlier than one (1) year prior to the Trigger Date. Within ten days after receiving notice from the Company that Rescission or Recapture is being imposed on any Option, you shall deliver to the Company the Shares acquired pursuant to the Option, or, if you have sold such Common Stock, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery; provided, that if you return Common Stock that you purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (or the gains realized from the sale of such Common Stock), the Company shall promptly refund the exercise price, without earnings, that you paid for the Common Stock.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 30, in exceptional cases, the Company has sole and absolute discretion not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by you or the Options shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any other act by you or other stock options or awards.
(f) Nothing in this Section 30 shall be construed to impose obligations on you to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that this Section 30(f) shall not limit or supersede any other agreement between you and the Company concerning restrictive covenants.
(g) All administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Section 30 shall be exercised by the Compensation Committee of the Board, or an executive officer of the Company as the Compensation Committee may designate from time to time.

Taxable Event

Due Date

You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit.
