ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 13, 1996, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD" or the "Company")
completed an underwritten offering of $400,000,000 of its 11% Senior Secured
Notes ("Notes") due August 1, 2003, pursuant to its shelf registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective in
1994. The Notes were priced at par, and their sale was underwritten by
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and BA Securities, Inc.
pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference. The terms and conditions of the Notes and
related matters are set forth in the Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto,
which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company will not be required to
make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes,
although the holders of the Notes would be entitled to require the Company to
repurchase their Notes under certain circumstances related to Collateral Sales,
Asset Sales, Events of Loss or a Change in Control of the Company as those terms
are defined in the Indenture. The Notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior
to August 1, 2001, but may be redeemed thereafter at redemption prices specified
in the Indenture.
On July 19, 1996, AMD entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with Bank of America NT&SA, as administrative agent and lender, ABN
AMRO Bank N.V., as syndication agent and lender, and Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce, as documentation agent and lender, providing a three year revolving
credit facility (subject to a one year extension) in the aggregate principal
amount of $150,000,000 and a four year term loan of up to $250,000,000 available
for a period of six months after the effective date of the Credit Agreement
(July 19, 1996). Copies of the Credit Agreement and of an amendment to the
Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 1996, are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and
99.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company intends to
utilize the term loan facility fully. The Indenture entered into in connection
with the Notes limits the aggregate amount which the Company may borrow under
the Credit Agreement prior to January 1, 1997, to $250,000,000. The new bank
credit facilities, which became available to AMD on August 13, 1996, replaced
the Company's existing unsecured and unused $250,000,000 revolving line of
credit and its unsecured $150,000,000 four-year term loan. AMD used
approximately $150,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to
prepay AMD's previously existing four-year term bank loan. In connection with
the offering of the Notes and the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company
and one of its subsidiaries amended the terms of two existing leases between the
subsidiary and CIBC, Inc., relating to the Company's headquarters in Sunnyvale,
California, and the Company's existing guaranty of those leases. Copies of the
amendments are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3-99.5 and are incorporated herein
by reference.
The indebtedness of the Company under the Notes and with respect to
borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of AMD's
real property, plant and equipment at one of its integrated circuit
manufacturing facilities, commonly known as Fab 25, located in Austin, Texas.
The terms and conditions under which the Company has granted a lien of
2
<PAGE>
Fab 25 to secure the indebtedness are set forth in the Indenture and the deed of
trust and related documents attached hereto as Exhibits 4.2-4.9 which are
incorporated herein by reference.

is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries or their respective
property is bound.
(o) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Notes and compliance by the Company
with all the provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not require any consent,
approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental body (except as such may be required
under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states) and will not
conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a
default under, the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which it or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries or their
respective property is bound, or violate or conflict with any laws,
administrative regulations or rulings or court decrees applicable to the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective property, except that
future compliance with the Indenture and the Notes may under certain
circumstances violate the terms of the New Credit Agreement.
(p) Except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, there are no
material legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their respective property is
the subject, and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no such proceedings
are threatened or contemplated. No contract or document of a character required
to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement is not so described or filed as
required.
(q) Except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries has violated any foreign, federal, state or
local law or regulation relating to the protection of human health and safety,
the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), nor any federal or state law relating to
discrimination in the hiring, promotion or pay of employees nor any applicable
federal or state wages and hours laws, nor any provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, which in each case might result in any material adverse change in
the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operation of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(r) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has such permits,
licenses, franchises and authorizations of governmental or regulatory
authorities ("permits"), including, without limitation, under any applicable
Environmental Laws, as are necessary to own, lease and operate its respective
properties and to conduct its business; the Company and each of its subsidiaries
has fulfilled and performed all of its material obligations with respect to such
permits and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time
would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material
impairment of the rights of the holder of any such permit; and, except as
described in the Prospectus, such permits contain no restrictions that are
materially burdensome to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(s) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a
periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations
and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it
identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure
of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or
approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential
liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has
reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not,
singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(t) The Collateral Documents to which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is a party on the Closing Date will create a valid security
interest in the Collateral securing payment and performance of the Company's
obligations under the Notes, the Indenture, the New Credit Agreement, the
Collateral Documents to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party
and the Payment, Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement. On the Closing Date,
such security interest will constitute a first priority lien and security
interest with respect to the Collateral, subject to no security interests of any
other person other than the lenders under the New Credit Agreement pursuant to
the Intercreditor Agreement and other than Permitted Liens and those that have
been released from or subordinated to the Collateral, and no filings,
registrations, recordings, deliveries or other actions will be required in order
to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interest in
such Collateral created under the Collateral Documents, other than filings,
recordings, deliveries or other actions which, on or before the Closing Date,
will have been made by or on behalf of the Company and such continuation
statements and other Uniform Commercial Code filings as may be necessary in the
future with respect to the personal property included within the Security
Agreement and the Deed of Trust. All taxes, fees and other governmental charges
due in connection with such filings, recordings, deliveries or other actions
will have been paid.
(u) The Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property and good and marketable title to all personal property included
within Security Agreement and the Deed of Trust, free and clear of all liens,
charges, encumbrances and
9
<PAGE>
restrictions other than Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Deed of Trust)
or such as do not interfere in any material respect with the conduct of the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. All leases to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party are valid and binding,
and no default has occurred or is continuing thereunder, which might result in
any material adverse change in the business, prospects, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and
the Company and its subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under
all such leases to which any of them is a party as lessee with such exceptions
as do not materially interfere with the use made by the Company or such
subsidiary.
(v) The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintains insurance
covering its properties, operations, personnel and businesses. Such insurance
insures against such losses and risks as are adequate in accordance with
customary industry practice to protect the Company and each of its subsidiaries
and its businesses. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received
notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital
improvements or other expenditures will have to be made in order to continue
such insurance. All such insurance is outstanding and duly in force on the date
hereof and will be outstanding and duly in force on the Closing Date.
(w) Ernst & Young LLP is a firm of independent public accountants
with respect to the Company as required by the Act.
(x) The financial statements, together with related schedules and
notes forming part of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any
amendment or supplement thereto), present fairly the consolidated financial
position, results of operations and changes in financial position of the Company
and its subsidiaries on the basis stated in the Registration Statement at the
respective dates or for the respective periods to which they apply; such
statements and related schedules and notes have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the
periods involved, except as disclosed therein; and the other financial and
statistical information and data set forth in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement thereto) is, in all material
respects, accurately presented and prepared on a basis consistent with such
financial statements and the books and records of the Company.
(y) The Company or any of its subsidiaries is not, or, after giving
effect to the issuance and sale of the Notes, will not be an "investment
company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(z) Except as disclosed in the Company's registration statement on
Form S-4 (File No. 33-64911) as filed with the Commission relating to the
Company's merger with NexGen, Inc., no holder of any security of the Company has
any right to require registration of shares of Common Stock or any other
security of the Company.
10
<PAGE>
(aa) The Company has complied with all provisions of Section 517.075,
Florida Statutes (Chapter 92-198, Laws of Florida) and all regulations
promulgated thereunder relating to issuers doing business with the Government of
Cuba or with any person or any affiliate located in Cuba.
(ab) There are no outstanding subscriptions, rights, warrants,
options, calls, convertible securities, commitments of sale or liens related to
or entitling any person to purchase or otherwise to acquire any shares of the
capital stock of, or other ownership interest in, the Company or any subsidiary
thereof except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement.
(ac) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no business

of the Company, threatened against any of them, before the National Labor
Relations Board or any state or local labor relations board, and no significant
grievance or more significant arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any
collective bargaining agreement is so pending against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of
them, and (ii) no significant strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage
pending against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge
of the Company, threatened against it or any of its subsidiaries except for such
actions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above, which, singly or in the aggregate
could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(ae) The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
(af) All material tax returns required to be filed by the Company and
each of its subsidiaries in any jurisdiction have been filed, other than those
filings being contested in good faith, and all material taxes, including
withholding taxes, penalties and interest, assessments, fees and other charges
due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries have been paid, other than those being
contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided.

(ag) With the exception of this Agreement, there are no contracts,
agreements or understandings between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or any Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder's fee or like
payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Notes.
(ah) The Company and each of the subsidiaries possesses all patents,
patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade
secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential
information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names
(collectively, "Intellectual Property") presently employed by it in connection
with the business now operated by it, and neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with
asserted rights of others with respect to the foregoing, except in each case to
the extent such failure to possess or the extent such receipt would not have a
material adverse effect, singly or in the aggregate, on the properties,
business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), affairs or
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The use of such
Intellectual Property in connection with the business and operations of the
Company and each of the subsidiaries does not, to the Company's best knowledge,
infringe on the rights of any person, except to the extent such infringement
would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(ai) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has (i) taken,
directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that
has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to constitute, the

facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes or (ii) since the initial filing of
the Registration Statement (A) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any

7. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or
caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriters
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through
you expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity
-------- -------
agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages and liabilities and judgments purchased Notes, or any person
controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such
person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Notes to such person, and if the Prospectus (as
so amended and supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such
loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment.
(b) In case any action shall be brought against any Underwriter or
any person controlling such Underwriter, based upon any preliminary prospectus,
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto and with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company,
such Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses. Any
Underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Underwriter or such controlling person unless (i) the employment of such counsel
shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the
Company shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Underwriter or such controlling person and the Company and such Underwriter
or such controlling person shall have been advised by such counsel that there
may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
Underwriter
13
<PAGE>
or such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the Company shall
not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for
all such Underwriters and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in
writing by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and that all such
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred). The Company shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent but if settled with the written consent of the Company, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter and any such controlling
person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if in any case where the
fees and expenses of counsel are at the expense of the indemnifying party and an
indemnified party shall have requested the indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel as incurred, such
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
action effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered
into more than ten business days after the receipt by such indemnifying party of
the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall have failed to
reimburse the indemnified party in accordance with such request for
reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the
Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter but only with
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing by or
on behalf of such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus. In case any action
shall be brought against the Company, any of its directors, any such officer or
any person controlling the Company based on the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may
be sought against any Underwriter, the Underwriter shall have the rights and
duties given to the Company (except that if the Company shall have assumed the
defense thereof, such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ
separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter), and the
Company, its directors, any such officers and any person controlling the Company
shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter, by Section 7(b)
hereof.
14
<PAGE>
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments referred to herein, then each indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and
the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company
and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriters, bear to the total price to the public of the Notes, in each case
as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative
fault of the Company and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of
Notes purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

encroachments, protrusions, or any overlapping improvements with respect to
such boundaries, building setback lines or division line, which survey is

(g) The Underwriters shall have received evidence reasonably

thereto (the "Financing Statement") to be filed with the California Secretary of
State (the "Filing Office") is in appropriate form for filing in the Filing
Office. Upon the proper filing of the Financing Statement in the Filing Office,
the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under
and as defined in the Security Agreement will be perfected to the extent a
security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by filing a financing
statement under the provisions of Division 9 of the California Commercial Code;
(xxiii)the Notes have been duly authorized;
(xxiv) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company; and

<PAGE>
(xxv) each Collateral Document to which the Company or any of

subsidiaries, as applicable and, on the Closing Date, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, will have been duly executed and delivered by the
Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, and will conform in all material
respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus.
In giving such opinion with respect to the matters covered by clause (xvii)
such counsel may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their
participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus
and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the
contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification except as
specified.
The opinion of Bronson, Bronson & McKinnon LLP described in paragraph (i)
above shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and shall so state
therein.
(j) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion
(satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date,
of Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, Texas counsel to the Company, generally to the
effect that:
(i) The Company is qualified to do business in the State of
Texas.
(ii) The execution and delivery by the Company of each of the
Collateral Documents, and the performance by the Company thereunder, will not
violate any provision of any existing Texas law or regulation applicable to the
Company, or conflict with or result in a breach of any order, writ, injunction,
ordinance, resolution or decree of any Governmental Authority which is binding
on the Company or its properties.
(iii) The Deed of Trust constitutes the valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforcement may be affected by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).
(iv) The Deed of Trust creates a valid lien as security for the
Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Mortgaged Property (as
defined therein, the "Mortgaged Property") to the extent the Texas UCC is
applicable thereto.
(v) The Deed of Trust is in form satisfactory for recording
and for filing as a fixture filing under the Texas UCC. The recording of the
Deed of Trust in the office of Travis County, Texas is the only recording
necessary to publish notice of and to establish record of the rights of the
parties thereto and to perfect the lien and security interest granted by the
Company pursuant to the Deed of Trust in the real property (including fixtures)
covered thereby. Upon the execution and delivery of the Deed of Trust, such lien
23
<PAGE>
and security interest shall be created and upon the recording of the Deed of
Trust as aforesaid, such lien and security interest shall be perfected as
security for the Obligations. No documents or instruments other than those
referred to in this paragraph (v) need be recorded, registered or filed in any
public office in the State of Texas in order to publish notice of the Deed of
Trust or to perfect such lien and security interest.
(vi) Except for nominal filing fees, no recording, filing,
privilege or other tax must be paid in connection with the execution, delivery,
recordation or enforcement of the Deed of Trust in the State of Texas.
(vii) Except for recordation of the Deed of Trust in the office
of the county clerk of Travis County, Texas, no consent, approval or other
authorization of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency, commission or other authority of the State of Texas or any subdivision
thereof is required for due execution and delivery of the Collateral Documents
or for the performance or observance of the terms thereof, or for the validity
and enforcement of the Collateral Documents or any Lien created thereunder, and
no certificate or affidavit or other instrument is required to be delivered to
the office of the county clerk of Travis County, Texas in order for such
recorder to record the Deed of Trust.
(viii) It is not necessary for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee
or the lenders under the New Credit Agreement, solely in connection with the
transaction (as one isolated, stand-along transaction, disregarding any other
business activities of any of such Person in Texas) contemplated by the
Collateral Documents to qualify to do business in the State of Texas in order to
carry out the transactions contemplated thereby (including enforcement of the
provisions thereof).
(ix) No further action in respect of the Mortgage Property
under Paragraph (iv) hereof (the "Covered Collateral") is necessary to perfect
the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Covered Collateral, except
that:
(a) where perfection of the Collateral Agent's security
interest in any of the Covered Collateral, including fixtures, is
obtained by the filing of a Financing Statement relating thereto in
the State of Texas, changes in the name, identity or corporate
structure of the Company (including, without limitation, changes
through a merger or consolidation) may result in the lapse of
perfection of the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Covered
Collateral acquired more than four (4) months after such change,
unless a new, appropriate Financing Statement is properly filed in the
appropriate place within four (4) months after each such change;
(b) where perfection of the Collateral Agent's security
interest in any of the Covered Collateral, including fixtures, is
obtained by the filing of a Financing Statement relating thereto in
the State of
24
<PAGE>
Texas, changes in the location of the Covered Collateral may result in
the lapse of perfection of the Collateral Agent's security interest in
the Covered Collateral so moved, unless a new, appropriate Financing
Statement is properly filed in the appropriate place within four (4)
months after each such change; and
(c) where perfection of the Collateral Agent's security
interest in any of the Covered Collateral including fixtures, is
obtained by the filing of a Financing Statement relating thereto in
the State of Texas, perfection of the Collateral Agent's security
interest therein will lapse as of the date five (5) years after the
date of the filing of the Financing Statement relating thereto, unless
appropriate continuation statements are properly filed within six (6)
months prior to the expiration of each such five-year period.
Succeeding continuation statements must be filed in the same manner to
continue the effectiveness of the original Financing Statements for
subsequent five-year periods.
(x) Based upon the facts and circumstances of the transactions
contemplated by the Collateral Documents, a Texas state court (or a federal
court applying Texas conflict of law rules) should give effect to the provisions
of the Collateral Documents that state that such Collateral Documents are to be
governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, except for matters of procedure and as required by mandatory
provisions of law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York governing
the creation, perfection, priority or enforcement of a remedies with respect to
any of the Collateral and to the provision of the Deed of Trust that states that
the provisions of the Deed of Trust that relate to the creation and priority of
liens against, the conveyance of title to, or realization upon the Mortgaged
Property shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
(k) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion
(satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date,
of Dewey Ballantine, New York counsel to the Company with respect to matters of
New York law, to the effect that:
(i) Each of (1) this Agreement, the Indenture, the Deed of
Trust, the Security Agreement, the Payment, Reimbursement and Indemnity
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and (2) the Notes, when executed and
authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered
to and paid for by the Underwriters, will to the extent governed by New York law
constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company in each case
enforceable against the Company in accordance with the respective terms thereof,
except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or law), (iii) the
remedy of specific
25
<PAGE>
performance and other forms of equitable relief being subject to certain
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceedings therefor may be brought, (iv) the effect of public policy and
Federal and state securities laws on the enforceability of provisions relating
to indemnification, contribution or exculpation, and (v) applicable laws which
may affect the validity or enforceability of certain of the rights, remedies and
waivers provided for in the Indenture, the Deed of Trust and the Security
Agreement, which laws do not in such counsel's opinion affect the validity of
the Indenture, the Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement or make the remedies
provided for therein, taken as a whole, inadequate for the practical realization
of the benefits intended to be afforded thereby.
(ii) The Collateral Agent has the functional equivalent of a
perfected lien under New York common law in the "Proceeds Account" established
by the Security Agreement (it being understood that such opinion will be a
"qualified opinion" and will recite the absence of controlling precedent in the
State of New York).
(iii) The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective
to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest in that portion
of the Collateral, under and as defined in the Security Agreement (the
"Collateral") that is subject to Article 9 of the New York UCC, to secure the
Obligations.
(iv) Compliance with the provisions of clauses (i) through (iv)
of Section 2(f) of the Security Agreement is effective to cause the perfection
of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the respective types of
Collateral described in such clauses to the extent the New York UCC or, in the
case of Government Securities included in the Collateral, Title 31, Section
306.118 of the Code of Federal Regulations of the United States is applicable
thereto.
(l) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, dated the
Closing Date, of Latham & Watkins, counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect
that:
(i) the Notes have been duly authorized and, when executed and
authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered
to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be valid
and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their
terms except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b) rights
of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by
equitable principles of general applicability;
(ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as rights to indemnity and
contribution hereunder may be limited by applicable law); and
26
<PAGE>
(iii) as to the matters referred to in clauses (vi), (viii) (but
only with respect to the statements under the caption "Description of Senior
Secured Notes" and "Underwriting") and (xvii) of paragraph (i) above. In giving
such opinion with respect to the matters covered by clause (xvii) such counsel
may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in
the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments
or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but
are without independent check or verification except as specified.
(m) You shall have received a letter on and as of the Closing Date,
in form and substance satisfactory to you, from Ernst & Young LLP, independent
public accountants, with respect to the financial statements and certain
financial information contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
and substantially in the form and substance of the letter delivered to you by
Ernst & Young LLP on the date of this Agreement.
(n) The Company shall not have failed at or prior to the Closing Date
to perform or comply with any of the agreements herein contained and required to
be performed or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date.
(o) The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters and counsel
for the Underwriters such additional documents, certificates and evidence as the
Underwriters or they may have reasonably requested.
All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in
compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory in form and
substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters.
9. Underwriters' Information. The Company acknowledges that the
-------------------------
statements with respect to the offering of the Notes set forth in the last
paragraph of text on the cover page of such Prospectus Supplement, concerning
the terms of offering by the Underwriters, the paragraph on page S-2 of such
Prospectus Supplement, concerning the stabilization by the Underwriters, and the
third paragraph of text and the third sentence of the fourth paragraph of text
under the caption "Underwriting" in such Prospectus Supplement, also concerning
the terms of offering by the Underwriters constitute the only information
furnished in writing by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Prospectus
Supplement.
10. Effective Date of Agreement and Termination. This Agreement shall
-------------------------------------------
become effective upon the execution of this Agreement.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by
you by written notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred: (i)
since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change or development
involving a prospective material
27
<PAGE>
adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its
subsidiaries or the earnings, affairs, or business prospects of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary
course of business, which would, in your judgment, make it impracticable to
market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus,
(ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
international calamity or crisis or change in economic conditions or in the
financial markets of the United States or elsewhere that, in your judgment, is
material and adverse and would, in your judgment, make it impracticable to
market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus,
(iii) the suspension or material limitation of trading in securities on the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market
System or limitation on prices for securities on any such exchange or National
Market System, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of
any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other
governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects,
or will materially and adversely affect, the business or operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (v) the declaration of a banking
moratorium by either federal or New York State authorities, or (vi) the taking
of any action by any federal, state or local government or agency in respect of
its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your opinion has a material adverse
effect on the financial markets in the United States.
If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or
refuse to purchase the Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder
on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed but failed or refused
to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the total principal amount of Notes
to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each non-defaulting
Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the principal
amount of Notes set forth opposite its name in Schedule I bears to the total
principal amount of Notes which all the non-defaulting Underwriters, as the case
may be, have agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as you may specify,
to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as the
case may be, agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided
--------
that in no event shall the principal amount of Notes which any Underwriter has
agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to this
Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Notes
without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the Closing Date any
Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes and the
aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to which such default occurs is
more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased
on such date by all Underwriters and arrangements satisfactory to you and the
Company for purchase of such Notes are not made within 48 hours after such
default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-
defaulting Underwriter and the Company. In any such case which does not result
in termination of this Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right
to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in
order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action
taken under this paragraph shall not
28
<PAGE>
relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
any such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11% SENIOR SECURED NOTE
DUE 2003
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in
definitive form, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such
nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New York) ("DTC"), to the
issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as
may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made
to Cede & Co. or such other entity as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (or
any successor thereto as provided in the Indenture, the "Company"), promises to
pay interest at the rate of 11% per annum of the principal amount of this Note
(the "Interest") from the Issue Date to the date of payment of such principal
amount of this Note. Installments of Interest shall become due and payable
semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 to the holder of record at
the close of business on the immediately preceding January 15 or July 15
(whether or not a Business Day). Additionally, installments of accrued and
unpaid Interest shall become due and payable with respect to any principal
amount of this Note that matures (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration,
upon maturity of repurchase obligation or otherwise) upon such maturity of such
principal amount of this Note. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Each installment
of Interest shall be calculated to accrue from and including the most recent
date to which Interest has been paid or provided for (or from and including the
Issue Date if no installment of Interest has been paid) to, but not including,
the date of payment.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date
and on or before such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"), except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Holder hereof must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Notes shall be payable both as to principal and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of Notes at their
respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided,
however, that all payments with respect to the Global Note and definitive Notes
the
<PAGE>
Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company at
least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the
Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, United States Trust Company of
New York, (including any successor appointed under the Indenture, the "Trustee")
the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE AND COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes
under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 1996 (as it may be amended from time to
time, the "Indenture") by and between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.
Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on the Issue Date. The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes are obligations of the
Company. The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between
the Indenture and the Notes. The Notes are secured by certain collateral
pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture and that may
be released pursuant to the terms thereof.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. As set forth in Section 3.07 of the Indenture,
the Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option prior to August 1, 2001
(the "First Optional Redemption Date"). From and after the First Optional
Redemption Date, the Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount)
set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on August 1 of the years indicated below:
Year Percentage
---- ----------
2001................................... 105.500%
2002................................... 102.275%
Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.
6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below,
the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemptions or sinking fund
payments prior to maturity with respect to the Notes.
7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Under certain circumstances, as
provided in the Indenture, the Company may be required to purchase all or a
portion of the Notes. Holders of Notes that are subject to an offer to purchase
shall receive an offer to purchase
<PAGE>
from the Company prior to any related purchase date, and may elect to have such
Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holders to Elect
Purchase" appearing below.
8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.
9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and
the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment to the Trustee for
registration of the transfer of this Note, the Trustee, any Agent or the Company
may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as its
absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest
on this Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note is
overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent, nor the Company shall be affected
by notice to the contrary. The registered holder of a Note shall be treated as
its owner for all purposes.
11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may be amended or supplemented
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
all of the Notes then outstanding (including any consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and any existing default
or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral
Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any
Holder of a Note, the Company and the Trustee together may amend or supplement
the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, to comply with Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of
the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that
does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or to enter into
additional or supplemental Collateral Documents.
<PAGE>
12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: default in the
payment of interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; default in the payment of principal
of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at
maturity, upon redemption (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or
otherwise; failure to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement on
the part of the Company to be observed or performed pursuant to Sections 4.07,
4.09, 4.10 and 4.16 of the Indenture; failure to comply with any of their other
respective agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Notes or the
Indenture and the Default continues for 60 days after notice from the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;
default or event of default under the New Credit Agreement or any mortgage,
indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or
guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default (a) is
caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default'') or (b) results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in
each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
$10.0 million or more; a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of
money entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments are not paid,
discharged or stayed for a period of 30 days, provided that the aggregate of all
such undischarged judgments exceeds $50.0 million; material breach by the
Company of any representation or warranty set forth in the Collateral Documents,
or material default by the Company in the performance of any covenant set forth
in the Collateral Documents, or repudiation by the Company of its obligations
under the Collateral Documents or the unenforceability of the Collateral
Documents against the Company for any reason; and certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency with respect to the Company, the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or
any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries (not including the
Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the
Company, the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or group
of Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary)
that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.
Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. Solely for purposes of calculating "Directing
Creditors" pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
delegate instructional authority under the Intercreditor Agreement to any
committee of such Holders, in which event such Holders shall be deemed to
represent 100% of the Credit Class (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)
representing the Notes. The
<PAGE>
Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default
or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the
payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest.
If an Event of Default occurs on or after August 1, 2001 by reason of any
willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.07 of the Indenture, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an
equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the
extent permitted by law, anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to August 1, 2001 by reason
of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the
Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional
premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable in an amount, for
each of the years beginning on August 1, of the years set forth below, as set
forth below (expressed as a percentage of principal amount):
Year Percentage
---- ----------
1996........................ 11.000%
1997........................ 9.900%
1998........................ 8.800%
1999........................ 7.700%
2000........................ 6.600%
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under
the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver
to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and
the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default,
to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default.
13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture, the
Collateral Documents, as applicable, or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder of the Notes by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
<PAGE>
16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration
of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.07, 4.10, 4.16 and

Global Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Certificated Notes or the Global Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(v) The Company shall not be required:
(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under

neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Company shall be affected

the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon the written
order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the
Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is
sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, to
protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the
Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.
(b) Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and

proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.
(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the
Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate
of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient
to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall
be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of
21

determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Trustee knows are so owned shall
be so disregarded.
Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.
(a) Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Temporary Notes shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes.
(b) Until such exchange, Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Indenture.

Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act), unless the Company directs cancelled Notes to be returned to it. The
Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or
that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company
shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are
Holders of Notes on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of such defaulted interest proposed to be paid
on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or
cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that
no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be
mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.13. Record Date.
The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders
entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or
permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as the Company determines or,
if not so determined, as provided in TIA (S) 316(c).

Section 2.14. CUSIP Number.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use a "CUSIP" number and, if it does
so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange
as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number
printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.

paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes

the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the
third Business Day preceding the Purchase Date;

purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his tendered
Notes and his election to have such Notes purchased;
(vii) that if Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
the Offer Amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Repurchase
Offer, the Company shall purchase Notes having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the Offer Amount on a pro rata basis (with such adjustment
as may be deemed appropriate so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000
or integral multiples thereof shall be purchased); and
26
<PAGE>
(viii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the
Repurchase Offer complies with the provisions of this Indenture.
(f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under

equal to the Purchase Price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by
the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and
the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall promptly authenticate
and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to
such Holder equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered, if any, provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall
be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company or the Paying Agent to the Holder
thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer
in The Wall Street Journal, or if no longer published, a national newspaper of
general circulation, on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.
(h) In the event the Company is required to make a Repurchase Offer
pursuant to Section 4.10, and the amount of Excess Proceeds to be applied to
such purchase would result in the purchase of a principal amount of Notes that
is not evenly divisible by $1,000, the Trustee shall promptly refund to the
Company the amount of Excess Proceeds that are not applied pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture, as the case may be, that is not necessary to purchase the
immediately lesser principal amount of Notes that is so divisible.

foregoing provisions will not prohibit (i) the payment of any dividend within 60
days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such
payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the
redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests
of the Company in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially
concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of other Equity
Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock) or the
substantially concurrent conversion of such Equity Interests for other Equity
Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that the
amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption,
repurchase, retirement or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause
(c)(ii) of
31
<PAGE>
the preceding paragraph; (iii) the making of any principal payment on, or the
purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of
any subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or the substantially concurrent sale (other
than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Equity Interests of the Company (other
than Disqualified Stock) or the substantially concurrent conversion of such
Indebtedness into Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified
Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized
for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition shall be
excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph; (iv) an Investment by
the Company of up to $50.0 million in the Company's FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary
and the making of a Guarantee (but not the payment of such Guarantee) by the
Company of up to $175.0 million of the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary's
Indebtedness; (v) any payments by the Company required pursuant to the terms of
the CIBC Guarantee; and (vi) Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $10.0 million.
The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default and if, immediately
after giving effect to such designation on a pro forma basis, the Company would
be in compliance with this Section 4.07. For purposes of making such
determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such
designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
the first paragraph of this Section 4.07. All such outstanding Investments will
be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the greatest of (x)
the net book value of the Investments at the time of such designation, (y) the
fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation and (z)
the original fair market value of such Investments at the time they were made.
Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be
permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair
market value (evidenced, in the case of Restricted Payments (other than cash)
with a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million, by a resolution of the
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee) on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) proposed to be
transferred by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to
the Restricted Payment. Not later than the date of making any Restricted
Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis
upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.07 were computed, which
calculations may be based upon the Company's latest available financial
statements.
Section 4.08. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any encumbrance or consensual restriction on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i)(a) pay dividends or make any other
distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its
32
<PAGE>
Capital Stock or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or
measured by, its profits, or (b) pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its
properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
except (in each case) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of (a) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the Issue Date, (b) this
Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents, (c) the New Credit Agreement,
(d) applicable law, (e) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock
of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as in effect at
the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was
incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or
assets of any Person, other than the Person, or than the property or assets of
the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred, (f) by
reason of customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, (g) purchase
money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that
impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) above on the
property so acquired, or (h) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that
the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness are in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company (as evidenced by a resolution thereof set forth in an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) no more restrictive with respect
to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the
agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced.
Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guaranty or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to
(collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and the
Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided,
however, that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock if
the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full
fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 2.5 to 1, determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds
therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the
Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such
four-quarter period.
The foregoing provisions will not apply to:
(i) the incurrence by the Company of the Indebtedness represented by the
Notes;
(ii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of Indebtedness, provided such Indebtedness does not exceed, as of the date
of determination, 50% of Company Book Value less (a) the principal amount
outstanding under the Notes,
33
<PAGE>
less (b) the Obligations outstanding under the New Credit Agreement and less
(c) the aggregate amount of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary previously incurred pursuant to this clause (ii);
provided, however, under no circumstances shall the aggregate amount of
Indebtedness (x) outstanding under the Notes, (y) incurred and outstanding
under the New Credit Agreement and (z) pursuant to outstanding Capital Lease
Obligations relating to property or equipment at the Fab 25 Complex exceed,
(A) $650.0 million on or before January 1, 1997 and (B) $800.0 million
thereafter, in each case, less any permanent reduction in the obligations and
commitments of the Company under the New Credit Agreement as provided under
Section 4.10 hereof;
(iii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
the Existing Indebtedness;
(iv) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations (other than Capital
Lease Obligations relating to property or equipment at the Fab 25 Complex
covered by subclause (ii) above), mortgage financings or purchase money
obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any
part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of
property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100.0
million at any time outstanding;
(v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of Permitted Refinancing Debt in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which
are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund,
Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred;
(vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its
Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (i) if the
Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly
subordinate to the payment in full of all Obligations with respect to the
Notes and (ii)(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the
Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary and (B) any sale or other
transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company
or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be;
(vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or
managing (a) foreign currency risk or (b) interest rate risk with respect to
any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this
Indenture to be outstanding;
(viii) the incurrence by the Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Non-
Recourse Debt, provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be
Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be deemed
to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company;
34
<PAGE>
(ix) a Guarantee by the Company of up to $175.0 million of the FASL
Unrestricted Subsidiary's Indebtedness;
(x) a Guarantee by the Company pursuant to clause (iv)(b) of the first
paragraph of Section 4.07 hereof; or
(xi) any Lien on Equity Interests of the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted
Subsidiary permitted pursuant to clause (xvi) of the definition of "Permitted
Liens."
Section 4.10. Asset Sales, Collateral Asset Sales and Events of Loss.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or the Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset
Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets, Equity Interests or
other property issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee certifying as to (x) such value,
(y) the consideration received (including the value of any non-cash
consideration) and (z) if the assets, Equity Interests or other property
disposed of equals or exceeds $25.0 million in fair market value, a resolution
of the Board of Directors approving such Asset Sale and acknowledging the values
set forth in (x) and (y) above) and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration
therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of
cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of (x) any liabilities (as
shown on the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance
sheet) of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed
by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement
that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability
and (y) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the
extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), shall be deemed to be cash for
purposes of this provision.
Within 24 months after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
the Company may apply, or may cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to
apply, such Net Proceeds to (i) the acquisition by the Company of all of the
Capital Stock of any Person in the same or a substantially similar line of
business as that conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the
Issue Date, (ii) the making of a capital expenditure, (iii) the acquisition of
other long-term Tangible Assets, (iv) the permanent reduction of amounts
outstanding under the New Credit Agreement (and to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto) and (v) the making of a Restricted Strategic
Investment which is a Permitted Investment. Pending the final application of
any such Net Proceeds, the Company shall hold such Net Proceeds in the form of
cash or Cash Equivalents. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not
applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph will be
deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds."
(b) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, engage in a Collateral Asset Sale unless (i) such Collateral
Asset Sale involves the Collateral in its entirety, or, if such Collateral Asset
Sale involves less than all of the Collateral (a "Partial
35
<PAGE>
Collateral Asset Sale"), such Partial Collateral Asset Sale involves a single
Collateral Asset Sale with a fair market value at the time of consummation of
such Collateral Asset Sale not exceeding $2.0 million and is not part of a
series of Collateral Asset Sales in any twelve month period with an aggregate
value (measured as of the time of consummation of such sales) exceeding $10.0
million in the aggregate; (ii) the Company receives consideration in respect of
and concurrently with such Collateral Asset Sale at least equal to the fair
market value of such Collateral; (iii) with respect to each such Collateral
Asset Sale, the Company delivers an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee dated
no more than 15 days prior to the date of consummation of the relevant
Collateral Asset Sale, certifying that (a) such sale complies with clauses
(i) and (ii) of this paragraph and (b) if the fair market value of the
Collateral being sold exceeds $25.0 million, the fair market value of such
Collateral was determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company
(whose determination, if the Collateral Asset Sale involves the Collateral in
its entirety, was based on the opinion of a nationally recognized qualified
independent appraiser prepared contemporaneously with such Collateral Asset Sale
and which opinion, in such case, will be evidenced by an opinion letter of the
independent appraiser and attached to the Officers' Certificate) as evidenced by
copies of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted in
respect of and concurrently with such Collateral Asset Sale; (iv) 100% of such
consideration is in cash or Cash Equivalents; and (v) the Net Proceeds therefrom
shall be paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral Agent,
pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, as additional Collateral. In the
case of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, the Company, within ninety (90) days
from the date of consummation of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, may apply all
of the Net Proceeds therefrom to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement
Collateral. Any such Net Proceeds not so applied shall constitute "Excess
Proceeds." In the case of a Collateral Asset Sale other than a Partial
Collateral Asset Sale all of the Net Proceeds therefrom shall constitute "Excess
Proceeds."
(c) If the Company suffers an Event of Loss, (i) the Net Proceeds
therefrom shall be paid directly by the party providing such Net Proceeds to the
Collateral Agent, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, as additional
Collateral and (ii) the Company shall take such actions, at its sole expense, as
may be required to ensure that the Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable
Collateral Document, has from the date of such deposit a first ranking Lien
(subject to Permitted Liens) on such Net Proceeds pursuant to the terms of the
applicable Collateral Document. As any portion or all of the Net Proceeds from
any such Event of Loss are received by the Collateral Agent, the Company may
apply all of such amount or amounts, as received, together with all interest
earned thereon, individually or in combination, (a) to purchase or otherwise
invest in Replacement Collateral or (b) to restore the relevant Collateral. In
the event that the Company elects to restore the relevant Collateral pursuant to
the foregoing clause (b), within six months of receipt of such Net Proceeds from
an Event of Loss, the Company shall (x) give the Trustee irrevocable written
notice of such election and (y) enter into a binding commitment to restore such
Collateral, a copy of which shall be supplied to the Trustee, and shall have 24
months from the date of such binding commitment to complete such restoration,
which shall be carried out with due diligence. Any such Net Proceeds not so
applied shall constitute "Excess Proceeds."
(d) In the event that the Company decides pursuant to this Section 4.10 to
apply any portion of the Net Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or an Event
of Loss to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral, (i) the
Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the
36
<PAGE>
Trustee dated no more than 30 days prior to the date of consummation of the
relevant investment in Replacement Collateral, certifying that the purchase
price for the amount of the investment in Replacement Collateral does not exceed
the fair market value of such Replacement Collateral and, if the fair market
value of such Replacement Collateral exceeds $25.0 million, certifying that the
fair market value of such Replacement Collateral was determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company and was based on the opinion of a
nationally recognized qualified independent appraiser, attached to the Officers'
Certificate, adopted in respect of and concurrently with the investment in such
Replacement Collateral; (ii) the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to
release such certified purchase price to the Company, together with any
investment income thereon, free of the Lien of the Collateral Documents; and
(iii) the Company shall take such actions, at its sole expense, as shall be
required to ensure that the Collateral Agent has, from the date of such purchase
or investment, a first ranking Lien (subject to Permitted Liens on such
Collateral) on such Replacement Collateral under the applicable Collateral
Document.
(e) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the
Company will be required to apply such Excess Proceeds (i) to make a Repurchase
Offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase the Notes at an offer price in cash in
an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 3.09 hereof and (ii) to repay and permanently reduce amounts
outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, in each case, in proportion to the
respective amounts outstanding thereunder. The Company shall commence such
Repurchase Offer within 10 Business Days after the date that the aggregate
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million by mailing the notice required
in Section 3.09 hereof to the Holders. To the extent that the aggregate amount
of Notes tendered pursuant to such Repurchase Offer is less than the Excess
Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general
corporate purposes. The Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to release
the Net Proceeds, together with any investment income thereon, to be applied to
a Repurchase Offer and to the repayment of amounts outstanding under the New
Credit Agreement to the Person entitled thereto in accordance with this
Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds,
the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.
Section 4.11. Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Company (i) will not, and will not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of any Capital Stock of any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to
any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company), unless (a) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
disposition is of all the Capital Stock of such Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary and (b) the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale,
lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.10(a) hereof
and (ii) will not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its
Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying shares) to
37
<PAGE>
any Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.11 shall
prohibit (x) the Company from selling more than 35% of its Equity Interest in
any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Initial Public
Offering of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, provided 100% of the net
proceeds from such Initial Public Offering received by the Company are in the
form of cash and all such proceeds are applied in accordance with Section
4.10(a) hereof or (y) the issuance and exchange of Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Stock) of the Company's PLD Subsidiary (as defined herein) in
connection with the merger of the PLD Subsidiary with or into any Person,
provided (a) at the time of such merger, the Consolidated Cash Flow of the PLD
Subsidiary for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal-quarters for
which financial statements are available represents less than 10% of the
Consolidated Cash Flow of the Company for the same period, (b) the Company and
the PLD Subsidiary shall enter into a written agreement providing that the
product transfer pricing in effect following such merger shall be no less
favorable to the Company than the product transfer pricing in effect during the
period set forth in (a) above, and (c) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the
period set forth in (a) above would have been 2.5 to l, determined on a pro
forma basis, as if such merger had occurred at the beginning of such period.
Section 4.12. Transactions with Affiliates.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from,
or enter into or make or amend any contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the
foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is
on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and (ii)
the Company delivers to the Trustee (a) with respect to any Affiliate
Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of
the disinterested non-employee directors of the Board of Directors approving
such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions and set
forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions comply with clause (i) above and (b)
with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in the principal amount of $25.0
million or more, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions from a financial point of view issued by an independent financial
advisor of national standing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
transactions shall not be deemed Affiliate Transactions: (1) any purchases of
products by the Company from the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary on terms no less
favorable to the Company than those determined pursuant to transfer pricing in
effect on the Issue Date; (2) any purchases of wafers from the Dresden, Germany
Unrestricted Subsidiary such that the sale of the products produced from such
wafers have a Contribution Margin of no less than 50%; (3) any employee
compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past
practice of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; (4) transactions between
or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (5) purchases
of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) by any
38
<PAGE>
stockholder of the Company (or an Affiliate of a stockholder of the Company)
from the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such Equity
Interests do not bear cash dividends. For purposes of this Section 4.12,
"Contribution Margin" shall mean the margin determined by dividing (a) the net
cash revenue realized by the Company from the sale of such products less the
cash cost to the Company of the wafer utilized in the production of such
products divided by (b) the net cash revenue realized by the Company from the
sale of such products.
Section 4.13. Liens.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any
asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or
assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.
Section 4.14. New Credit Agreement.
For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will not amend,
modify or change in any manner the terms of the New Credit Agreement as in
effect on the Issue Date, if any such amendment, modification or change (i)
changes (to earlier dates) the dates upon which principal and interest are due
thereon; (ii) alters the redemption or prepayment provisions thereof; (iii)
alters the provisions thereof relating to dispositions of Collateral; or (iv)
alters the provisions thereof to the extent the Trustee is an express third
party beneficiary.
Section 4.15. Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5 and Article 11 hereof, as the case may be, the
Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in
accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and
(ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company
and Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate,
partnership or other existence of any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 4.16. Change of Control.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of the Notes will
have the right to require the Company to commence a Repurchase Offer in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 to repurchase all or
any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's
Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (the
"Change of Control Payment"). The Company will comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1
39
<PAGE>
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with a Repurchase Offer resulting from a Change of Control.
The Company shall commence such Repurchase Offer within 10 days following
any Change of Control by mailing the notice required in Section 3.09 hereof to
the Holders.
The Company will not be required to make a Repurchase Offer upon a Change
of Control if a third party makes the Repurchase Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section
3.09 of this Indenture applicable to a Repurchase Offer made by the Company and
purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Repurchase
Offer.
Section 4.17. Maintenance of Insurance.
The Company shall at all times provide, maintain, and keep in full force,
or cause to be provided, maintained and kept in full force, at no expense to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, policies of insurance
for the Collateral in an amount of not less than 100% of the full insurable
value of the Collateral with a deductible of not more than $1.0 million per
occurrence, and, if issued by companies, associations or organizations licensed
to do business in the state of California, having a rating in Best's Key Rating
Guide of not less than B+:VII, and otherwise consistent with the Company's then
existing generally applicable risk management policies, covering such
casualties, risks, perils, liabilities and other hazards as are customary for
improvements similar to the improvements in the general geographic area in which
the improvements are located. All such policies of insurance required by this
Section 4.17 shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any
loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy
notwithstanding any act or negligence of the Company or any party holding under
the Company which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said insurance and the
further agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of setoff, counterclaim or
deductions against the Company.
Section 4.18. Collateral Documents.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall amend, waive or
modify, or take or refrain from taking any action that has the effect of
amending, waiving or modifying, any provision of the Collateral Documents to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to the extent that such
amendment, waiver, modification or action could have an adverse effect on the
rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders, provided that: (i)
the Collateral may be released or replaced as expressly provided in this
Indenture and in the Collateral Documents; (ii) this Indenture and any of the
Collateral Documents may be otherwise amended, waived or modified as set forth
in Article 9 hereof and (iii) for purposes of this Indenture, neither the
Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a party to the Intercreditor
Agreement.

Section 4.19. Further Assurances.
The Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) do,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and
re-register, any and all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, security
agreements, mortgages, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements
and continuations thereof, termination statements, notices of assignment,
transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments as may be required
from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of the
Collateral Documents, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the
Collateral Documents any of the properties, rights or interests required to be
encumbered thereby, (iii) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness
and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens intended to be
created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer,
preserve, protect and confirm to the Trustee any of the rights granted or now or
hereafter intended by the parties thereto to be granted to the Trustee or under

Columbia; (ii) the Surviving Corporation or the Person to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been
made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Indenture
and the Collateral Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other
documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (iii)

by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment
of which is guaranteed by the Company or any
42
<PAGE>
of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a
failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default") or (b) results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and,
in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with
the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has
been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated,
aggregates $10.0 million or more;
(f) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are
entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments are not paid,

(g) the Company materially breaches any representation or warranty set
forth in the Collateral Documents, or a material default by the Company in
the performance of any covenant set forth in the Collateral Documents, or
repudiation by the Company of its obligations under the Collateral Documents
or the unenforceability of the Collateral Documents against the Company for
any reason;
(h) the Company, the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany
Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy

including the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a
whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case,
(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company, the FASL Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries (not

<PAGE>
Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property

Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary, or
(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, the FASL
Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary)
that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive
days.
A Default under clause (d) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee
notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and
the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the
notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and
state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."
If an Event of Default occurs on or after August 1, 2001 by reason of any
willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company
or any Subsidiary with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the
Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the
Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an
equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the
extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to August 1, 2001
by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary with the intention of avoiding the
prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon
acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on
August 1, of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount):
Year Percentage
---- ----------
1996............................. 11.000%
1997............................. 9.900%
1998............................. 8.800%
1999............................. 7.700%
2000............................. 6.600%
Section 6.02. Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
clauses (h) and (i) of Section 6.01 hereof relating to either the Company, the
FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or group of
Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that,
taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is
44
<PAGE>
continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and
the Trustee may declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest on all
the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration the principal and
interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof relating to either the
Company, the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or group
of Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary)
that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, such
an amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written
notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal and interest, that has become
due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of
the Notes or this Indenture.
(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies
are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04. Waiver of Certain Existing Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related
payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
Section 6.05. Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it, including providing instructions to the
45
<PAGE>
Collateral Agent to exercise any remedy under the Collateral Documents. However,
the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Solely for purposes of calculating "Directing Creditors" pursuant to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may delegate instructional
authority under the Intercreditor Agreement to any committee of such Holders, in
which event such Holders shall be deemed to represent 100% of the Credit Class
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) representing the Notes.
Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
(a) A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes only if:
(i) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives such notice from the
Company;
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the
remedy;
(iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense;
(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the
provision of indemnity; and
(v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request; provided, however, that such
provision does not affect the right of a Holder to sue for enforcement of
any overdue payment thereon.
(b) A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights
of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note
(including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
46
<PAGE>
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b)
hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the
whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on
the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest
and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall
be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10. Priorities.

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and
expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for
principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
47
<PAGE>
Third: without duplication, to Holders for any other obligations owing to
the Holders under the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents; and
Fourth: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.
(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(e) The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA (S) 313(b)(2)
to the extent applicable.

The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, at
any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all
outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article Eight.

of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the
date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes and cured all existing Events of Default, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05
hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and
this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely out of the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust
referred to in Section 8.04 hereof, (ii) the Company's obligations with respect
to the Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (iii) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company's obligations in

respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of the Notes (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit
54

limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of

bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the
period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound;
(vi) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the

generally;
(vii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the
intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the
Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
creditors of the Company or others; and
(viii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions

firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The

representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.]/1/
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (or
any successor thereto as provided in the Indenture, the "Company"), promises to
pay interest at the rate of 11% per annum of the principal amount of this Note
(the "Interest") from the Issue Date to the date of payment of such principal
amount of this Note. Installments of Interest shall become due and payable
semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 to the holder of record at
the close of business on the immediately preceding January 15 or July 15
(whether or not a Business Day). Additionally, installments of accrued and
unpaid Interest shall become due and payable with respect to any principal
amount of this Note that matures (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration,
upon maturity of repurchase obligation or otherwise) upon such maturity of such
principal amount of this Note. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Each installment
of Interest shall be calculated to accrue from and including the most recent
date to which Interest has been paid or provided for (or from and including the
Issue Date if no installment of Interest has been paid) to, but not including,
the date of payment.
2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date
and on or before such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"), except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Holder hereof must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Notes shall be payable both as to principal and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of Notes at their
respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided,
- -------------------------
1. This paragraph should be included only for Notes issued in global form.
<PAGE>
however, that all payments with respect to the Global Note and definitive Notes
the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company at
least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the
Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, United States Trust Company of
New York, (including any successor appointed under the Indenture, the "Trustee")
the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture and Collateral Documents. The Company issued the Notes
under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 1996 (as it may be amended from time to
time, the "Indenture") by and between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.
Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on the Issue Date. The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes are obligations of the
Company. The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between
the Indenture and the Notes. The Notes are secured by certain collateral
pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture and that may
be released pursuant to the terms thereof.
5. Optional Redemption. As set forth in Section 3.07 of the Indenture,
the Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option prior to August 1, 2001
(the "First Optional Redemption Date"). From and after the First Optional
Redemption Date, the Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount)
set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on August 1 of the years indicated below:
Year Percentage
---- ----------
2001 .................................. 105.500%
2002 .................................. 102.275%
Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.
6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below,
the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemptions or sinking fund
payments prior to maturity with respect to the Notes.
7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Under certain circumstances, as
provided in the Indenture, the Company may be required to purchase all or a
portion of the Notes. Holders of Notes that are subject to an offer to purchase
shall receive an offer to purchase from
<PAGE>
the Company prior to any related purchase date, and may elect to have such
Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holders to Elect
Purchase" appearing below.
8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in
denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be
redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes
or portions thereof called for redemption.
9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of

provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and
the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
10. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment to the Trustee
for registration of the transfer of this Note, the Trustee, any Agent or the
Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as
its absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest on this Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this
Note is overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent, nor the Company shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. The registered holder of a Note shall be
treated as its owner for all purposes.
11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of all of the Notes then outstanding (including any consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and any
existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or
the Collateral Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of a Note, the Company and the Trustee together may amend or
supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to comply with Section 5.01 of the
Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations
to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes
or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
such Holder, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or to enter into
additional or supplemental Collateral Documents.
12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: default in the
payment of interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a
<PAGE>
period of 30 days; default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on
the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise; failure to
observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement on the part of the
Company to be observed or performed pursuant to Sections 4.07, 4.09, 4.10 and
4.16 of the Indenture; failure to comply with any of their other respective
agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Notes or the Indenture and the
Default continues for 60 days after notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; default or event of
default under the New Credit Agreement or any mortgage, indenture or instrument
under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
is created after the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such
default (a "Payment Default'') or (b) results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal
amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more; a final
judgment or final judgments for the payment of money entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries and such judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period
of 30 days, provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments
exceeds $50.0 million; material breach by the Company of any representation or
warranty set forth in the Collateral Documents, or material default by the
Company in the performance of any covenant set forth in the Collateral
Documents, or repudiation by the Company of its obligations under the Collateral
Documents or the unenforceability of the Collateral Documents against the
Company for any reason; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with
respect to the Company, the FASL Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries (not including the Dresden, Germany
Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, the FASL Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries (not including
the Dresden, Germany Unrestricted Subsidiary) that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce
the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
Solely for purposes of calculating "Directing Creditors" pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may delegate instructional authority under
the Intercreditor Agreement to any committee of such Holders, in which event
such Holders shall be deemed to represent 100% of the Credit Class (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement) representing the Notes. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default
(except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
<PAGE>
If an Event of Default occurs on or after August 1, 2001 by reason of any
willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.07 of the Indenture, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an
equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the
extent permitted by law, anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to August 1, 2001 by reason
of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the
Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional
premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable in an amount, for
each of the years beginning on August 1, of the years set forth below, as set
forth below (expressed as a percentage of principal amount):
Year Percentage
---- ----------
1996 ........................ 11.000%
1997 ........................ 9.900%
1998 ........................ 8.800%
1999 ........................ 7.700%
2000 ........................ 6.600%
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under
the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver
to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and
the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default,
to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default.
13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture, the
Collateral Documents, as applicable, or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder of the Notes by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
15. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
<PAGE>
16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a

Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set

as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Collateral
Agent shall act as "Lender" under and as defined in the Lease Documents.
(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Collateral
Agent shall follow the instructions of the Directing Creditors from time to
time, subject to and consistent with the Collateral Agent's rights and
obligations expressed in the Collateral Documents and in accordance with
applicable law. The Noteholders' representative for purposes of delivering

(f) The Collateral Agent shall provide the Bank Agent and the Trustee with

<PAGE>
the Trustee with reports of its activities in connection therewith upon the

Agent, but in any event at least monthly.
(i) The Collateral Agent acknowledges the provisions of (A) the Indenture
involving potential actions which the Company may take after an Event of Loss
(as defined in the Indenture) and a Collateral Asset Sale, which may necessitate
activity by the Collateral Agent; (B) Section 2.07(c) of the Credit Agreement,
which may necessitate activity by the Collateral Agent; (C) the Lease Documents
in effect as of the date hereof and (D) the Collateral Documents.
(j) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding

Agreement, the Indenture, the Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document,

distributing or applying proceeds of Collateral and Permitted Investments, the
Collateral Agent shall hold such proceeds and Permitted Investments in trust for
the benefit of the Bank Agent and the Trustee, in accordance with their rights
and priorities provided for herein.
3. Collateral; Collateral-Sharing.
------------------------------
(a) Additional Collateral. Without implying that either the Indenture or
---------------------
the Credit Agreement allows such additional collateral, any collateral other
than the Collateral in which the Company grants the Bank Agent, the Banks, the
Trustee or the Noteholders (or, in each case, any agent or trustee therefor) any
security interest or lien in respect of such collateral shall not be part of the
Collateral hereunder or otherwise subject to this Agreement unless agreed by all
the parties hereto. Neither the Trustee, the Bank Agent nor the Banks may take
as such additional collateral for the Bank Credit or Note Obligations any real
property in California unless such party provides to the other reasonable
assurances, including, if requested, appropriate indemnities, that such real
property collateral will not allow the Company under any circumstances to assert
the benefits of California Code of Civil Procedure (S)(S) 580d or 726 or other
California anti-deficiency statutes or any other similar statutes in any other
jurisdiction.
(b) Sharing of Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Bank Agent shall be
---------------------
entitled to exercise any remedies directly under the Collateral Documents, but
only through providing instructions to the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement, either jointly or as Directing Creditors. In the event of the
realization of proceeds of any collection or disposition of Collateral pursuant
to the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c),
Collateral Agent shall distribute such proceeds to the specified Persons in the
following order of priority:
5
<PAGE>
(i) to the Collateral Agent and any predecessor Collateral Agent(s)
in reimbursement of its (or their) fees, charges and expenses in accordance with
the terms of the Indemnity Agreement, including the fees, expenses and
disbursements of its (or their) agents and legal counsel, and any and all claims
of the Collateral Agent against the Company for indemnification in accordance
with the terms of the Indemnity Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent
(or its predecessor, as the case may be) shall not be entitled to payment from
such proceeds of such fees, charges, expenses and claims for indemnification, if
any, that arise prior to the commencement by or against the Company of a
bankruptcy case under Title 11 of the United States Code and as to which the
Collateral Agent (or its predecessor, as the case may be) had a reasonable
opportunity to submit to the Company an invoice and demand for payment prior to
such commencement, unless the Collateral Agent (or its predecessor, as the case
may be) actually submitted such invoice and demand prior to such commencement;
(ii) to the out-of-pocket costs of collection and enforcement of
remedies incurred by the Trustee and the Bank Agent, on a pari passu basis,
inclusive of any amounts owed to the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Indenture
and of fees, expenses and disbursements of agents and legal counsel to the
Trustee and the Bank Agent, and costs of appraisals, environmental reports and
receivers all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Credit
Agreement and any Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement);
(iii) to accrued and unpaid interest on the Bank Loans and accrued
and unpaid interest on the Senior Secured Notes, on a pro rata basis;
(iv) to the due and unpaid principal of the Bank Loans and the due
and unpaid principal of the Senior Secured Notes, on a pro rata basis;
(v) to any remaining unpaid amounts of (A) the Bank Credit and
other amounts owing under or in connection with the Credit Agreement (other than
amounts described in clause (vi) below) and (B) the Note Obligations and other
amounts owing under or in connection with the Indenture, on a pro rata basis;
(vi) to the fees of legal counsel for each Bank, if applicable, on a
pari passu basis in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and any
Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and
(vii) to other Persons as their interests may appear or as instructed
by a court of competent authority.
No party hereto shall be entitled to a distribution on any lower priority
pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vii) above unless and until all higher
priorities have been paid in full.
(c) Sharing of Event of Loss Proceeds and Collateral Asset Sale Proceeds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In any circumstance when the Collateral Agent receives Event of Loss Proceeds or
Collateral Asset Sale Proceeds pursuant to the Indenture and the Security
Agreement and the Indenture specifies that all or a portion of such proceeds are
to be applied to an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Collateral Agent shall divide
such proceeds between the Credit Classes on a pro rata basis. The portion
thereof calculated by reference to the Bank Loans ("Bank Portion") shall be paid
------------
to the Bank Agent for application toward the prepayment of Bank Loans in
accordance with the
6
<PAGE>
Credit Agreement. The portion thereof calculated by reference to the Senior
Secured Notes ("Note Portion") shall be paid to the Trustee upon its request,
------------
for application to an Excess Proceeds Offer. The parties acknowledge that the
Indenture provides that in the event the Noteholders do not accept Excess
Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture) or proceeds of a Collateral Asset Sale in
the full amount to which they are entitled, the portion thereof which would
otherwise have been applied to the redemption of Senior Secured Notes in
accordance herewith will be paid to the Company, subject to any right of the
Collateral Agent to set off or apply all or any part of such portion with any
investment income thereon pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Indemnity Agreement.
4. Notices; Exercise of Remedies.
-----------------------------
(a) Notice by Trustee of Event of Default. The Trustee shall notify the
-------------------------------------
Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred under (and as defined in)
the Indenture, and of the forbearance, waiver or other termination, if any, of
such Event of Default.
(b) Notice of Acceleration. In the event an "Event of Default", however
----------------------
such term is defined in the Indenture or Credit Agreement, occurs, and either
the Note Obligations or Bank Credit is accelerated, the Trustee or Bank Agent
shall notify the other and the Collateral Agent of such acceleration,
certifying: (i) that such acceleration has occurred and (ii) the principal,
interest, fees and other amounts owed by the Company (such certification, a
"Notice of Acceleration").
- -----------------------
(c) Mandatory Cross-Acceleration. Upon receipt of a Notice of
----------------------------
Acceleration from the other Credit Class, the members of a Credit Class shall
accelerate their Bank Credit or Note Obligations, as the case may be, and shall
deliver a separate Notice of Acceleration as provided in Section 4(b).
(d) Remedies. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Notice of
--------
Acceleration from both the Trustee and the Bank Agent, or upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of notice of the commencement by or against the Company of a
bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding, the Collateral Agent shall
retain legal counsel acceptable to the Bank Agent and the Trustee, and shall
exercise such remedies under the Collateral Documents as it shall be instructed
by the Directing Creditors.
(e) No Inconsistent Actions. The Trustee agrees to take no action in a
-----------------------
bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Company or the Collateral which is
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Bank Agent and the Banks
have agreed to a similar provision for the benefit of the Trustee in Section
9.11 of the Credit Agreement.
5. Investment. Except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents:
----------
any cash held by the Collateral Agent hereunder pending distribution thereof
shall be invested by the Collateral Agent from time to time as directed by the
Directing Creditors in Permitted Investments. Any income or gain realized as a
result of any such investment shall be reinvested in Permitted Investments.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Directing Creditors shall have any
liability for any loss resulting from any such investment or sale thereof. Any
cash held by the Collateral Agent that is not invested in Permitted Investments
pursuant to instructions from the Directing Creditors shall not earn or accrue
interest during the period such
7
<PAGE>
cash is not so invested. The Collateral Agent shall provide the Trustee and the
Bank Agent with monthly statements at any time that it holds cash or Permitted
Investments hereunder.
6. Restrictions on Amendments. The Bank Agent shall not permit any term
--------------------------
of the Credit Agreement to be amended, modified or waived, and the Trustee,
acting on behalf of the Noteholders, shall not amend, modify or waive any
provision of the Indenture, in each case in a manner which is intended by the
Bank Agent or the Trustee to circumvent or undermine the terms of this Agreement
or the results intended by this Agreement to be achieved with respect to the
Collateral or proceeds thereof. The foregoing sentence is not intended to impair
the ability of each Credit Class to manage and administer its credit to the
Company in any manner such Credit Class otherwise deems appropriate.
7. Directing Creditors.
-------------------
(a) Defined. Except with respect to Exceptional Decisions, as defined
-------
below, all instructions to the Collateral Agent, including specific instructions
as to the implementation of the general instruction described in Section 7(b)(i)
(including, without limitation, delivery of a notice of foreclosure,
foreclosure, and appointment of a receiver), shall be given by the Directing
Creditors. The term "Directing Creditors" means Creditors holding more than 50%
-------------------
of the Aggregate Credit. For purposes of calculation of the Directing
Creditors, either Credit Class may, by vote of its Credit Class, delegate
instructional authority to any subset of such Credit Class, in which event the
Persons having been granted such instructional authority shall be deemed to
represent 100% of the members of their respective Credit Class. Any such
delegation of authority may be rescinded at any time by majority vote of the
applicable Credit Class.
(b) Exceptional Decisions. The circumstances set forth in this section
---------------------
(b) shall call for "Exceptional Decisions", as such term is used herein, and
---------------------
instruction to the Collateral Agent in connection with such circumstances shall
be effected as provided below:
(i) Commencement of Remedies. Either Credit Class, after
------------------------
determining to do so by vote solely within such class after the representative
of such Credit Class (either the Trustee or Bank Agent) has delivered a Notice
of Acceleration as provided in Section 4(b), may instruct the Collateral Agent
to "generally realize upon the Collateral and protect the Creditors' interests
in connection therewith, all as expeditiously as reasonably possible." Upon
receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Notice of Acceleration from both Credit
Classes, the Collateral Agent shall follow such general instruction and shall
thereupon follow the instructions of the Directing Creditors. No subsequent
instruction by the Directing Creditors shall be inconsistent with the foregoing
general instruction and the Collateral Agent shall disregard any such
inconsistent instruction.
(ii) Amendment of Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall
---------------------------------
not agree to any amendment of the Collateral Documents except upon notice to the
Collateral Agent by the representative of each Credit Class of the concurrence
of such Credit Class, determined by the applicable vote solely within such
class; provided that no agreement of any Creditor nor notice of the concurrence
of any Credit Class shall be required for (A) the Collateral Agent to take the
actions contemplated by Section 6.25 of the Deed of Trust in connection with
releasing certain Collateral after the Company's Austin real property is re-
platted or (B) such amendments to financing statements or other Collateral
Documents as
8
<PAGE>
Collateral Agent determines are necessary to effectuate the intent of this
Agreement or the Collateral Documents.
(iii) Amendment of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not
---------------------------
agree to any amendment of this Agreement except upon notice to the Collateral
Agent by the representative of each Credit Class of the concurrence of such
Credit Class, determined by the applicable vote solely within such class.
(iv) Release of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not release
---------------------
any Collateral from the lien and security interests created by the Collateral
Documents except as expressly provided therein or except upon notice to the
Collateral Agent by the representative of each Credit Class of the concurrence
of such Credit Class, determined by the applicable vote solely within such
class; provided that no agreement of any Creditor shall be required for the
Collateral Agent to take the actions contemplated by Section 6.25 of the Deed of
Trust in connection with re-platting of the Company's Austin real property.
(v) Certain Actions Under Lease Documents and Deed of Trust. So
-------------------------------------------------------
long as no Event of Default under and as defined in the Indenture shall have
occurred and be continuing and shall have been noticed to the Collateral Agent,
the Bank Agent, acting alone or after consultation with the Banks and in
accordance with Section 7(f), may instruct the Collateral Agent to grant or
withhold the consents contemplated by the Lease Documents and the Deed of Trust
to be given solely by the Bank Agent under those circumstances. The Trustee, the
Bank Agent and the Collateral Agent agree that, when the conditions specified in
Section 6.25 of the Deed of Trust have been satisfied to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Bank Agent, then the Bank Agent, acting alone or after
consultation with the Banks, but not acting in any way as agent or fiduciary for
the Trustee, shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the
Partial Release of Lien (as defined in Section 6.25 of the Deed of Trust).
(vi) Disposition of Certain Proceeds. The Trustee may instruct the
-------------------------------
Collateral Agent as to the disposition of the Note Portion, as defined in
Section 3(c), and the Bank Agent may instruct the Collateral Agent as to the
disposition of the Bank Portion, as defined in Section 3(c).
(c) Certificates of Trustee and Bank Agent. Concurrently with any
--------------------------------------
calculation of Directing Creditors or any Exceptional Decision requiring the
vote of both Credit Classes, the Trustee and the Bank Agent shall certify to the
Collateral Agent (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Aggregate Credit held
by the Noteholders or the Banks, as the case may be, and (ii) the votes cast by
the members of the applicable Credit Class.
(d) Calculations Binding. All calculations of the Directing Creditors
--------------------
shall be made by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of and in exclusive reliance
upon the certificates described in Section 7(c), and shall be binding upon each
Credit Class.
(e) Directing Creditors Held Harmless. In considering how to pursue
---------------------------------
creditor remedies against the Company or the Collateral and before initiating
any such creditor remedies, the Creditors shall first determine whether any
proposed creditor remedies or other actions create a risk that the remaining
interests of the Banks or the Noteholders (including, without limitation, the
right to seek a deficiency judgment against the Company or the right to pursue
other collateral) will be impaired or prejudiced. To the greatest extent
possible, all
9
<PAGE>
instructions given or actions taken concerning the exercise of creditor remedies
or other actions under this Agreement shall attempt to maximize the return for
all Creditors and attempt to minimize (to the greatest extent possible) the risk
that the rights and interests of some of the Creditors (including, without
limitation, the ability to seek and enforce a deficiency judgment against the
Company or the right to pursue other collateral) may be diminished or impaired
following the exercise of such creditor remedies or actions. Each Creditor
agrees that it shall not provide or cause or vote to be provided any instruction
to the Collateral Agent which would cause or result in disproportionate
prejudice or impairment to the other Creditors hereunder; and the Bank Agent
agrees that it shall not take any action under the Lease Documents or Deed of
Trust which would cause or result in disproportionate prejudice or impairment to
the interests of the Trustee and Noteholders. However, subject to the previous
sentence, the Directing Creditors shall be entitled to provide any instruction
and take any action which they in good faith believe is in the interest of the
Noteholders and the Banks.
(f) Bank Agent Held Harmless. The following provisions shall apply, as
------------------------
among the parties hereto, to the rights, duties and liabilities of the Bank
Agent in taking the actions contemplated by Section 7(b)(v):
(i) The Bank Agent shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any written notice, certificate, instruction, request or other paper
or document, as to the due execution thereof and the validity and effectiveness
of the provisions thereof and as to the truth of any information therein
contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine.
(ii) The Bank Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
for any act done or step taken or omitted (including, without limitation, all
judgments or determinations made, and instructions given, by the Bank Agent
regarding whether the conditions specified in Section 6.25 of the Deed of Trust
have been satisfied and whether the Partial Release of Lien (as defined therein)
should be delivered), except in the case of its gross negligence or willful
misconduct, provided, that if any such liability attaches, such liability shall
be limited to actual damages resulting directly from such gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(iii) The Bank Agent may consult with and obtain advice from counsel
of its own choice in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction
of any provision in the Lease Documents or Deed of Trust, or any question about
the legal issues or risks faced by the Bank Agent in connection with any action
taken or contemplated, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
(iv) The Bank Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance by the Company or AMD Texas of any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of the Lease Documents or Deed of Trust.
(v) The Bank Agent is not acting at any time as agent for the
Trustee or Noteholders and the Bank Agent shall not have any fiduciary
obligations or duties of any kind under this Agreement or any trust relationship
with the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders.

responsible or liable in any manner whatever for soliciting any funds or for the
sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any funds or securities
deposited with or held by it;
(ii) it shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any written notice, certificate, instruction, request or other paper or
document, including any actual or purported Notice of Acceleration or other

provisions thereof and as to the truth of any information therein contained,
which it in good faith believes to be genuine;
(iii) it shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act
done or step taken or omitted except in the case of its gross negligence or
willful misconduct, provided, that if any such liability attaches, such
liability shall be limited to actual damages resulting directly from such gross
negligence or willful misconduct;
(iv) it may consult with and obtain advice from counsel of its own
choice in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any
provision in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, or any question about
the legal issues or risks faced by the Collateral Agent in connection with any
action taken or contemplated, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel;
(v) it shall have no duties as Collateral Agent except those which
are expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents and in any
modification or amendment hereof or thereof;
(vi) it may execute or perform any duties hereunder either directly

for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys unless the
selection or oversight of such agents or attorneys constituted gross negligence

transactions with any party hereto, or the Company, and may act on, or as
depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of
obligations of such Persons as freely as if it were not the Collateral Agent
hereunder, except to the extent such activities would render the Collateral
Agent unable to satisfy its obligations to the Trustee and the Bank Agent
hereunder.
(viii) it shall not be obligated to take any action or omit to take
any action which in its reasonable judgment would subject it to any expense or
risk of liability unless it has received, from one or more Persons reasonably
acceptable to Collateral Agent, indemnity satisfactory to it specifically
covering all liability and expense that it may incur in taking or omitting to
take such action;
11
<PAGE>
(ix) it shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance by the Company of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes, or
any of the Collateral Documents;
(x) it shall have no responsibility for (A) the due authorization,
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or
value of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes, or any

liens and security interests created or evidenced by the Collateral Documents
(except as otherwise required by Section 2(g));
(xi) it shall have no obligation or duty to take any action under
this Agreement or the Collateral Documents if taking such action would subject
Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a
tax, unless the Collateral Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction in
connection with such action; and
(xii) it shall have no obligation or duty to take any action under
this Agreement or the Collateral Documents in any jurisdiction other than the
states of California, Texas or New York if taking such action would (A) require
the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any such other jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified, or (B) subject the Collateral Agent to in
personam jurisdiction in any such other jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject.
(b) No Reliance. Bank Agent, each of the Banks, and Trustee, on its own
-----------
behalf and on behalf of each of the Noteholders, acknowledges that (i) it has,
independently of and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, based on such
information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into the transactions evidenced by the Credit
Agreement or the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes and the Collateral
Documents, as the case may be, and (ii) it will, independently of and without
reliance upon the Collateral Agent, based on such information and documents as
it deems appropriate, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
omitting to take action under or in connection with the obligations under the
Credit Agreement or the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes, as the case may
be.
(c) Resignation or Removal.
----------------------
(i) The Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving notice to
each other party, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a
successor Collateral Agent as hereinafter provided.
(ii) The Trustee and the Bank Agent may remove the Collateral Agent
at any time by giving joint notice of such removal to the Collateral Agent, each
such removal to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral
Agent as hereinafter provided.
(iii) In the event of any resignation or removal of the Collateral
Agent, a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of New
York, having a corporate trust office in New York and a capital and surplus of
not less than $250,000,000, shall be jointly appointed by the Trustee (with or

the Collateral

Agent hereunder within 45 days after such notice of resignation of the
Collateral Agent or such notice of removal of the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Trustee and the Bank Agent may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent to act until such
time, if any, as a successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted its
appointment as above provided. Any successor Collateral Agent so appointed by
such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any
successor Collateral Agent appointed by the Trustee and Bank Agent. Any such
successor Collateral Agent shall deliver to each party a written instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor Collateral
Agent shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Collateral Agent
hereunder and shall be entitled to receive assignment of all rights from the
predecessor Collateral Agent.
(iv) Upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent as
provided in Section 8(c)(iii), the resigning or removed Collateral Agent shall
be discharged from all further duties and obligations under this Agreement and
the Collateral Documents; provided, that the resigned or removed Collateral
Agent shall cooperate in assigning to such successor Collateral Agent all of its
right, title, and interest under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and
executing all documentation necessary or appropriate to evidence such assignment
in all appropriate filing offices and jurisdictions.
(d) Fees and Indemnification of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
--------------------------------------------
agrees to be compensated for its services as Collateral Agent hereunder and
under the Collateral Documents directly from the Company, to obtain appropriate
indemnities directly from the Company pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement and
any successor or related agreement and to waive recourse to the Collateral, the
Trustee, the Bank Agent and the Creditors for payment of its fees, expenses and
indemnities, except in the event of a disposition of Collateral and distribution
of the proceeds as provided in Section 3(b).

THIS PAYMENT, REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
made as of August 1, 1996, between ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("AMD"), and IBJ SCHRODER BANK & TRUST COMPANY, a New York banking
corporation ("Schroder"). This Agreement is made with reference to the
following facts:
RECITALS
--------
A. AMD, Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as
administrative agent ("Bank Agent") and certain financial institutions have
entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 19, 1996, as amended
by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 1996
(as so amended, the "Credit Agreement"), providing for loans to AMD in the
aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000.
B. United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee ("Indenture
Trustee") and AMD have entered into that certain Indenture dated as of
August 1, 1996 (the "Indenture") relating to AMD's 11% Senior Secured Notes
due 2003 (the "Senior Secured Notes") issued in the aggregate principal amount
of $400,000,000.
C. AMD's obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture are
secured by liens and security interests created by (i) that certain Deed of
Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Financing Statement ("Deed of Trust")
dated as of August 1, 1996 among AMD as grantor, Schroder as grantee and Shelley
W. Austin as trustee, (ii) that certain Security Agreement dated as of
August 1, 1996 among AMD and Schroder as collateral agent ("Security
Agreement"), and (iii) any related UCC financing statements and security
documents or instruments, but excluding the "Intercreditor and Collateral
Agency Agreement" (as defined below) (collectively referred to herein as the
"Collateral Documents").
D. Schroder has agreed to serve as collateral agent as set forth in that
certain Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement ("Intercreditor and
Collateral Agency Agreement"), of even date herewith, among the Indenture
Trustee, the Bank Agent and Schroder, in connection with the extension of credit
under the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes under
the Indenture on the condition, among others, that AMD shall have entered into
this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and
<PAGE>
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
AGREEMENT
---------
1. Acknowledgement of Recitals. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
---------------------------
recitals are accurate, true, and correct.
2. Fees.
----
2.1 Acceptance Fee. AMD shall pay to Schroder on August 13, 1996 (the
--------------
"Closing Date"), a non-refundable acceptance fee as set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto.
2.2 Collateral Agent's Fee. AMD shall pay to Schroder on the Closing
----------------------
Date and on each anniversary of the Closing Date, a non-refundable fee (the
"Collateral Agent's Fee") as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The
Collateral Agent's Fee is payable from the Closing Date and on each anniversary
of the Closing Date thereafter until such time as Schroder has no obligations
under the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency
Agreement or any other document executed in connection with any of the
foregoing.
2.3 Activity Fees. AMD shall pay to Schroder within thirty (30) days
-------------
of receipt of an invoice from Schroder, the administrative and other fees
reasonably charged by Schroder for services rendered (including, but not limited
to, wire transfer fees, check processing fees, investment transaction fees,
collateral release/exchange fees, NSF check fees and check issuance fees), all
as more fully set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
2.4 Payment of Fees. AMD agrees to pay the fees set forth in this
---------------
Section 2 and any other fees as hereafter agreed between AMD and Schroder, as
and when due, without any reduction for offset, deduction, recoupment, or
counterclaim.
2.5 Fees Cumulative. All fees payable under this Agreement shall be
---------------
cumulative and fully earned on the date of payment.
3. Reimbursement of Expenses. On the 28th day of each calendar month, or
-------------------------
more or less frequently as Schroder may determine in its absolute discretion,
Schroder shall send to AMD an invoice for Schroder's reimbursable expenses
("Reimbursable Expenses") including, but not limited to, all costs or out-of-
pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm
or other external counsel, or other professional advisors or consultants
employed by Schroder, the allocated costs of internal counsel and all
disbursements of internal counsel) incurred by Schroder in connection with the
preparation,
2
<PAGE>
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the
Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, any of the Collateral Documents,
or any document related thereto or hereto. AMD agrees to pay all Reimbursable
Expenses as set forth in this Section 3 within thirty (30) days of receipt of
Schroder's invoice for such Reimbursable Expenses, without any reduction for
offset, deduction, recoupment, or counterclaim.
4. Indemnification of Schroder.
---------------------------
AMD assumes liability for, and agrees absolutely and unconditionally to
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Schroder and its officers, directors,
employees, successors, assigns, agents and servants from and against, any and
all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, legal proceedings and cases, costs and expenses that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, at any time, Schroder and in any
way relating to or arising out of the execution and delivery and performance of
this Agreement, the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement or the
exercise of remedies or taking of any other action under the Collateral
Documents, including any and all Environmental Matters and other Indemnified
Matters (each as defined in the Deed of Trust), the purchase or sale of
Permitted Investments (as defined in the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency
Agreement), the retention of cash and Permitted Investments or the proceeds
thereof and any payment, transfer or other application of cash or Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor and
Collateral Agency Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or
error of Schroder in its capacity as collateral agent made in the conduct of its
duties or upon advice of legal counsel; except that AMD shall not be required to
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Schroder against matters arising
directly from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Schroder shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to AMD of any event
reasonably likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this
Section 4 promptly upon learning of such event; provided, that the failure of
--------
Schroder to provide any such notice, or to provide any such notice after the
time specified, shall not (i) reduce or affect in any way Schroder's right to
indemnity under this Section 4, or (ii) create any liability whatsoever to
Schroder or any defense whatsoever by AMD under this Agreement. The indemnities
contained in this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the
Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and
shall survive any foreclosure on other enforcement of rights and remedies under
the Collateral Documents.

<PAGE>
5. Miscellaneous.
-------------
5.1 Costs and Expenses. In addition to the other obligations set
------------------
forth in this Agreement, AMD agrees that it will, upon demand therefor,
reimburse Schroder for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Schroder in connection with the
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and
the collection of any amount due from AMD hereunder or in any action or
proceeding brought by Schroder to enforce the obligations of AMD hereunder.
5.2 Separate Obligations. The obligations and liabilities of AMD to
--------------------
Schroder under this Agreement are in addition to the obligations and liabilities
of AMD to Schroder under the Collateral Documents. The discharge of AMD's
obligations and liabilities to Schroder under the Collateral Documents or by
reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or under any
circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in whole or in
part, of AMD's obligations and liabilities to Schroder under this Agreement.
Conversely, the discharge of AMD's obligations and liabilities to Schroder under
this Agreement by reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or
under any circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in
whole or in part, of AMD's obligations and liabilities to Schroder under any of
the Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding
sentences to the contrary, Schroder shall be limited to a single recovery on any
claim arising both under this Agreement and under any of the Collateral
Documents.
5.3 Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to Schroder shall be
----------------------
deemed to include its successors and assigns (including any successor collateral
agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency
Agreement and any successor organization to Schroder in its individual
capacity), in whose favor the provisions of this Agreement shall also inure.
Each reference herein to AMD shall be deemed to include the administrators,
legal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, successors and assigns of AMD,
all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, provided,
--------
however, that AMD shall in no event or under any circumstance have the right
- -------
without obtaining the prior written consent of Schroder to assign or transfer
its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement (which consent may be
withheld by Schroder in its sole and absolute discretion), in whole or in part,
to any other person, party or entity; provided, further, however, that nothing
-------- ------- -------
in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit AMD from consolidating or merging with or
into any Person (as defined in the Indenture) to the extent not prohibited by
Section 5.01 of the Indenture. Upon the resignation or removal of Schroder as
collateral agent and the appointment of a successor collateral
4
<PAGE>
agent pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency
Agreement, Schroder shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide notice of
such resignation or removal and appointment to AMD; provided, that the failure
--------
of Schroder to deliver such notice shall not create any liability whatsoever of
Schroder to AMD or any defense whatsoever of AMD to Schroder.
5.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Schroder
-------
provided by law, if AMD fails to pay any amounts owing under this Agreement,
Schroder is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice
to AMD, any such notice being waived by AMD to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general, or special, time or
demand, provisional or final including, but not limited to, deposits in the
"Proceeds Account" established under, and as defined in, the Security Agreement)
at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, Schroder to or
for the credit or for the account of AMD against any and all obligations owing
to Schroder under this Agreement, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of
whether or not Schroder shall have made demand under this Agreement or any
Collateral Document and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured; provided, that Schroder may only set-off and apply any such deposits
--------
or indebtedness if and to the extent that any such deposits or indebtedness
would be paid or would result in a payment to AMD. Schroder agrees to promptly
notify AMD after any such set-off and application; provided, that failure to
--------
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
5.5 No Waiver by Schroder. No delay on the part of Schroder in
---------------------
exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or failure to exercise the
same shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy.
No notice to or demand on AMD shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation
of AMD or of the right of Schroder to take further action without notice or
demand as provided in this Agreement.
5.6 Modifications in Writing. This Agreement may only be modified,
------------------------
amended, changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Schroder and
AMD. No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement shall be
effective unless given in writing by Schroder and if so given by Schroder shall
only be effective in the specific instance in which given.
5.7 Obligations Absolute. AMD acknowledges that this Agreement and
--------------------
AMD's obligations under this Agreement are and shall at all times be absolute
and unconditional in all respects, and are and shall at all times be valid and
enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any
5
<PAGE>
nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations
of AMD under this Agreement.
5.8 Integration Clause. This Agreement and the Collateral Documents
------------------
set forth the entire agreement and understanding of Schroder and AMD and
supersede and replace that certain fee letter agreement among Schroder and AMD
dated July 8, 1996. AMD acknowledges that no oral or other agreements,
understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to this
Agreement or the Collateral Documents or with respect to the obligations of AMD
under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, except those specifically set
forth in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents.

-------- -------
the term "Land" shall thereafter continue to cover and include the Easement

Indenture Trustee and Holders under the Lease Agreement, the Sublease Agreement,

provisions of this Mortgage; and (e) all indebtedness and other obligations owed
by Grantor to Holders, Grantee, or Indenture Trustee, now or hereafter incurred
or arising pursuant to the provisions of the Notes (as hereinafter defined),
this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Indenture, or any other Credit Document
to which Grantor is a party (any notes hereafter issued to the Banks evidencing
the Bank Indebtedness, whether one or more, and the Senior Secured Notes, as
from time to time renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and all
other notes and securities given in substitution therefor, or in modification,
renewal or extension thereof, in whole or in part, being hereinafter
collectively called the "Notes"). The Notes, this Mortgage, the Security
-----
Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Indenture, and all other documents now or
hereafter evidencing, governing, guaranteeing, securing or otherwise executed in
connection with the loans evidenced by the Notes or the Credit Agreement, as
they or any of them may be from time to time renewed, extended, supplemented,
increased or modified and to which Grantor is a party, are herein sometimes
collectively called the "Credit Documents." The indebtedness and obligations
----------------
referred to in this Section are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Secured Indebtedness."
Section 1.5. Maturity and Amount of Secured Indebtedness. The
-------------------------------------------
maturity of the revolving loans governed by the Credit Agreement is three (3)
years from the Loan Availability Date of the Credit Agreement with the
possibility of a one (1) year extension. The maturity of the term loan governed
by the Credit Agreement is four (4) years from the Loan Availability Date of the
Credit Agreement. The maturity of the Senior Secured Notes is August 1, 2003.
The principal amount of the Secured Indebtedness is $800,000,000.00. The total
amount of the Secured Indebtedness is $800,000,000.00, together with any other
sums, including interest, costs, and expenses due and payable to the Holders and
Grantee under this Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents.
ARTICLE 2 - Representations, Warranties and Covenants
-----------------------------------------
Section 2.1. Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:
(a) Payment and Performance. Grantor will make due and punctual
-----------------------
payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Grantor will timely and properly perform
and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it
by this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party and will
not permit a default to occur hereunder or thereunder. Time is of the essence in
this Mortgage.
(b) Title and Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor has, in Grantor's own
--------------------------------
right, and Grantor covenants to maintain, lawful, good and marketable title to
the Mortgaged Property,
-7-
<PAGE>
except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect as defined in the Credit Agreement (whether or
not the Credit Agreement is then in effect); and the Mortgaged Property is free
and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and encumbrances
except for (i) the matters, if any, set forth under the heading "Permitted
Encumbrances" in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein, which are
---------
Permitted Encumbrances only to the extent the same are valid and subsisting and
affect the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the liens and security interests evidenced
by this Mortgage, and (iii) other liens and security interests permitted under
both the Credit Agreement and the Indenture as "Permitted Liens" or otherwise
(the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) - (iii) being herein called
the "Permitted Encumbrances"). Grantor, and Grantor's successors and assigns,
----------------------
will warrant and forever defend title to the Mortgaged Property, subject as
aforesaid, to Trustee and her successors or substitutes and assigns, against the
claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part
thereof by, through or under Grantor but not otherwise. Grantor will punctually
pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or
pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification
of any Permitted Encumbrance, except as may be otherwise provided in the Credit
Agreement and the Indenture. Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance
does not constitute approval or waiver by Grantee of any existing or future
violation or other breach thereof by Grantor, by the Mortgaged Property or
otherwise. No part of the Mortgaged Property constitutes all or any part of the
homestead of Grantor. If any right or interest of Grantee in the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be
attacked directly or indirectly, Trustee and Grantee, or either of them (whether
or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto), are hereby
authorized and empowered to take such steps as in their discretion may be proper
for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or
interest of Grantee, including but not limited to the employment of independent
counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or
discharge of adverse claims. All reasonable expenditures so made of every kind
and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby
promises to pay within five (5) days of demand) owing by Grantor to Grantee or
Trustee (as the case may be), and the party (Grantee or Trustee, as the case may
be) making such expenditures shall be subrogated to all rights of the person
receiving such payment.
(c) Taxes and Other Impositions. Grantor will pay, or cause to be
---------------------------
paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against
or with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or
enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same
become due and payable, including but not limited to all ad valorem taxes
assessed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Indenture.
(d) Insurance. Grantor shall obtain and maintain at Grantor's sole
---------
expense: (1) all-risk insurance with respect to all insurable Mortgaged
Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail,
tornado and such hazards as are presently included in so-called "all-risk"
coverage and against such other insurable hazards as the Grantee may require, in
an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of
debris
-8-
<PAGE>
removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Grantor
and Grantee from becoming a coinsurer; (2) if and to the extent any portion of
the Premises is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy in an
amount equal to the lesser of the principal face amount of the Notes plus the
maximum amount of the Bank Indebtedness or the maximum amount of flood insurance
available; (3) commercial general public liability insurance, on an "occurrence"
basis, for the benefit of Grantor and Grantee and naming Grantee as an
additional named insured; (4) statutory worker's compensation insurance (or a
substitute type of insurance acceptable to Grantee ) with respect to any work on
or about the Premises; and (5) such other insurance on the Mortgaged Property as
may from time to time reasonably be required by Grantee (including but not
limited to business interruption insurance, boiler and machinery insurance and
earthquake insurance) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at
the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly
situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location,
use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be
issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form
satisfactory to Grantee and shall require not less than thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Grantee of any cancellation or change of coverage.
All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Grantor
with respect to the Mortgaged Property, except for public liability insurance,
shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of
contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Grantor or Grantee
and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall
operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each
insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability
or other insurance required pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Credit
Document to which Grantor is a party becomes insolvent or the subject of any
bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Grantee's reasonable
opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate,
Grantor shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Grantee and at
Grantor's expense, obtain and deliver to Grantee a copy of a like policy (or, if
and to the extent permitted by Grantee, a certificate of insurance) issued by
another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Mortgage
or such other Credit Document, as the case may be. Without limiting the
discretion of Grantee with respect to required endorsements to insurance
policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property
shall contain a standard mortgage clause (without contribution) naming Grantee
as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Grantee notwithstanding (i) any act,
failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation
or use of the Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by
the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Grantee
under the Credit Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the
Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Such proceeds shall be held by
Grantee for application as provided in the Credit Documents. A copy of each
initial insurance policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance shall be
delivered to Grantee at the time of execution of this Mortgage, with premiums
fully paid, and a copy of each renewal or substitute policy shall be delivered
to Grantee, with premiums fully paid, as soon as such renewal or replacement is
available. A certificate of insurance evidencing renewal or replacement of the
-9-
<PAGE>
policy shall be delivered to Grantee within ten (10) days of termination of the
policy to which such certificate relates. Grantor shall pay all premiums on
policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver
to Grantee evidence satisfactory to Grantee of the timely payment thereof. If
any loss occurs at any time when Grantor has failed to perform Grantor's
covenants and agreements in this paragraph, Grantee shall nevertheless be
entitled to the benefit of all insurance relating to the Mortgaged Property
covering the loss and held by or for Grantor, to the same extent as if it had
been made payable to Grantee. Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title
to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the
Secured Indebtedness, all of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to all
proceeds relating to the Mortgaged Property payable under the insurance policy
(and any other sums owned by Grantor arising from such policies (including
unearned premiums) shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other
such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Grantee shall
have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and
adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of
or damage to the Mortgaged Property, and the reasonable expenses incurred by
Grantee in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part
of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Grantee on demand.
Grantee shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure
to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or
for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to
see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Any such
proceeds received by Grantee shall be applied as described in the Indenture;
provided, however, that in the event that the Indenture is not then in effect or
- -------- -------
the Notes held by the Noteholders have been paid in full or defeased, the
provisions relating to collateral dispositions contained in the Indenture shall
be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference. The Secured Indebtedness shall
remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused.
Grantor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance
policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board
of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Mortgaged
Property.
(e) [Intentionally omitted.]
(f) Condemnation. Grantor shall notify Grantee immediately of any
------------
threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Mortgaged
Property or arising out of damage to the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor shall,
at Grantor's expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Grantee shall
have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding
and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Grantee shall be entitled
to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for public or
quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums
which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the
Mortgaged Property (collectively, the "Condemnation Proceeds"). Grantor shall,
promptly upon request of Grantee, execute such additional assignments and other
documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and
to enable Grantee to collect and receipt for any such sums. All Condemnation
Proceeds are hereby assigned to Grantee, and shall be paid and applied as
provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that in
-------- -------
-10-
<PAGE>
the event that the Indenture is not then in effect or the Notes held by the
Noteholders have been paid in full or defeased, the provisions relating to
application of Condemnation Proceeds in connection with an Event of Loss
contained in the Indenture shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference. The Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and
the payment thereof shall not be excused. Grantee shall not be, under any
circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise
diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper
application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Grantee is hereby authorized,
in the name of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to
appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree. All reasonable costs and
expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by
Grantee in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing
by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay within five (5) days of demand)
to Grantee pursuant to this Mortgage.
(g) Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Mortgaged Property and
----------------------------------
the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon do and
shall at all times comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements (defined below). The Mortgaged Property is not, and shall not be,
dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than
the Mortgaged Property to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement.
Grantor shall not, by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement
not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Mortgaged Property or
any interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. No
part of the Mortgaged Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning
law or similar law or ordinance. Grantor has obtained and shall preserve in
force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health and operating permits from
the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property. If
Grantor receives a notice or claim from any person that the Mortgaged Property,
or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in
compliance with any Legal Requirement, Grantor will promptly furnish a copy of
such notice or claim to Grantee. Grantor has received no notice and has no
knowledge of any such noncompliance. As used in this Mortgage: (i) the term
"Legal Requirement" means "Requirement of Law" as defined in the Credit
-----------------
Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the Credit Agreement is
-------- -------
not then in effect, the definition of "Requirement of Law" set forth in the
Credit Agreement shall nevertheless be deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference. The term "Legal Requirement" as used herein also includes any
-----------------
covenant, restriction, easement or condition (including, without limitation of
the foregoing, any condition or requirement imposed by any insurance or surety
company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come
into effect in the future.
(h) Maintenance, Repair and Restoration. Grantor will keep the
-----------------------------------
Mortgaged Property in such order, repair, operating condition and appearance as
is customary for the type and character of the Improvements operated on the
Mortgaged Property, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the
Mortgaged Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate, ordinary
wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor will not, unless
otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, (i) remove
from the Mortgaged Property
-11-
<PAGE>
any fixtures or personal property covered by this Mortgage, except such as is
replaced by Grantor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned by
Grantor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by
this Mortgage or permitted hereunder), or (ii) make any structural alteration to
the Mortgaged Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value
thereof.
(i) No Other Liens. Except as otherwise permitted herein or in the
--------------
Credit Documents, Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of
Grantee, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or
failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any deed of
trust, mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory,
constitutional or contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or
conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, other than the Permitted Encumbrances,
regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the
lien or security interest created in this Mortgage. Should any of the foregoing
become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Mortgaged Property
without the prior written consent of Grantee, Grantor will cause the same to be
promptly discharged and released. Grantor will own all parts of the Mortgaged
Property and, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, will not
acquire any fixtures, equipment or other real property forming a part of the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar
agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove
same, without the prior written consent of Grantee, or except as otherwise
provided in the Credit Documents. If Grantee consents to the voluntary grant by
Grantor of any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (hereinafter called
"Subordinate Mortgage") covering any of the Mortgaged Property or if the
foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable as to a Subordinate Mortgage, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall
contain express covenants to the effect that: (1) the Subordinate Mortgage is
unconditionally subordinate to this Mortgage and all Leases (hereinafter
defined); (2) if any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale)
shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage,
no tenant of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a party
defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or
tenancy without the prior written consent of Grantee; (3) Rents (hereinafter
defined), if collected by or for the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage, shall
be applied first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and
expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged
Property in such order as Grantee may determine, prior to being applied to any
indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage; (4) written notice of default
under the Subordinate Mortgage and written notice of the commencement of any
action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage or to seek the appointment of a
receiver for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be given to Grantee
with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement;
and (5) neither the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage, nor any purchaser at
foreclosure thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them
shall succeed to any of Grantor's rights hereunder without the prior written
consent of Grantee.

<PAGE>
(j) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Grantor will operate the
-------------------------------
Mortgaged Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all
Legal Requirements and will pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection
therewith. Grantor will operate the Mortgaged Property so as not to impair the
insurance carried thereon. Grantor will not use or occupy or conduct any
activity on, and will use best efforts to prevent the use or occupancy of or the
conduct of any activity on, the Mortgaged Property in any manner which violates
any Legal Requirement or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which
makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance
then in force with respect thereto. Grantor will not initiate or permit any
zoning reclassification of the Mortgaged Property or seek any variance under
existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Mortgaged Property or use or permit
the use of the Mortgaged Property in such a manner which would result in such
use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other
Legal Requirement. Grantor will not impose any easement, restrictive covenant or
encumbrance upon the Mortgaged Property, execute or file any subdivision plat or
condominium declaration affecting the Mortgaged Property or consent to the
annexation of the Mortgaged Property to any municipality, without the prior
written consent of Agent or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an
Event of Default exists, of Grantee, except as herein expressly provided or as
is otherwise permitted under any of the Credit Documents. Grantor will not do or
suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any part of the Mortgaged
Property may be lessened to any material extent. Grantor will preserve, protect,
renew, extend and retain all material rights and privileges granted for or
applicable to the Mortgaged Property. Without the prior written consent of Agent
or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an Event of Default exists,
of Grantee, there shall be no drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal
or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas, natural element, compound or
substance (including sand and gravel) from the surface or subsurface of the Land
regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Grantor will cause all debts and liabilities of any character (including without
limitation all debts and liabilities for labor, material and equipment and all
debts and charges for utilities servicing the Mortgaged Property) incurred in
the construction, maintenance, operation and development of the Mortgaged
Property to be promptly paid; provided, however, any such liens on the Mortgaged
-------- -------
Property for materialmen, mechanics, workmen or repairmen, the validity or
amount of which is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which Grantor maintains adequate reserves in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles shall be permitted so long as any right to seizure, levy,
attachment, sequestration, foreclosure or garnishment with respect to the
Mortgaged Property by reason of such lien has not matured, or has been, and
continues to be, effectively enjoined or stayed.
(k) Grantor Status. Grantor is not a "foreign person" within the
--------------
meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Sections 1445 and 7701

provided, that if such payment, performance, release, foreclosure or
conveyance is challenged, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, the
Release Date shall be deemed not to have occurred until such challenge
is rejected, dismissed or withdrawn with prejudice, and provided

execution of this Mortgage, Grantor shall deliver to Agent one copy of the plans
and specifications covering the Premises and designate thereon or in an
accompanying list, all spaces within the Premises in which Grantor maintains a
Cleanroom Environment (collectively, the "Cleanrooms" and singly, the
----------
"Cleanroom") and state thereon what class or other standard of Cleanroom
---------
Environment is maintained by Grantor in each Cleanroom at the time of Grantor's
execution of this Mortgage. During the term of this Mortgage and at all times
prior to the Release Date, (i) Grantor shall maintain the Cleanrooms in their
respective classes or standards of Cleanroom Environment as maintained by
Grantor at the time of Grantor's execution of this Mortgage; and (ii) Grantor
shall continue to locate all Cleanroom Equipment in a Cleanroom or other
Cleanroom Environment. At all times Grantee or Grantee's representatives shall

inspection shall be conducted using such precautions as are mandated by
Grantor's rules and regulations, including but not limited to Grantor's
cleanroom protocol and confidentiality requirements, and in such manner so as
not to interfere or jeopardize operations. Prior to an Event of Default or a
default, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default, any inspection of the Cleanrooms shall be
limited to one (1) inspection per calendar year and only two (2) persons
representing Grantee shall have access to and shall go inside the Cleanrooms
during such inspection. Upon an Event of Default or a default which, with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of
Default, Grantee or Grantee's representatives shall have access to any Cleanroom
Equipment at all times in order to inspect it and/or to remove or ship it.
Grantor shall cooperate with Grantee's efforts to inspect and/or remove or ship
any such Cleanroom Equipment, and Grantor shall pay for (or reimburse Grantee
for) any such costs and expenses. Grantor shall clean, and shall pay for (or
reimburse Grantee for) any costs and expenses incurred to clean, any Cleanroom
Equipment contaminated (i) as a result of actions of any parties or persons or
their agents, other than Grantee or its agents; or (ii) as a result of Grantee's
or its agents' actions, in the event that Grantor fails to cooperate or assist
Grantee in inspection, removal, or shipment of
-21-
<PAGE>
any Cleanroom Equipment. Such cleaning costs shall be a demand obligation owing
by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay within five (5) days of demand)
to Grantee pursuant to this Mortgage. For purposes of this subsection 2.1(s), a
"Cleanroom Environment" shall mean an environment adapted to regulate dust, to
---------------------
reduce contamination, or to control airflow, temperature, humidity, chemical
purity, or other environmental conditions or manufacturing tolerances; and
"Cleanroom Equipment" shall mean all equipment located in a Cleanroom or in a
- --------------------
Cleanroom Environment at the time of Grantor's execution of this Mortgage and
during such time as this Mortgage is in effect or that, in accordance with
industry standards (based on the type and use of the equipment), should be kept
in a Cleanroom or Cleanroom Environment in order that such equipment perform to
its greatest capability.
(t) Right of Inspection. Grantee, Agent and Indenture Trustee shall on
-------------------
reasonable advance notice have access during normal business hours to the
records of Grantor pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, and Grantee, Agent and
Indenture Trustee or their respective representatives may examine the same, take
extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and Grantor agrees to render to
the Grantee, Agent or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, at Grantor's cost
and expense, such clerical assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard
thereto. Grantee, Agent and Indenture Trustee and their respective
representatives shall have the right to enter into and upon the Premises and any
premises where any of the Collateral is located for the purposes of inspecting
the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein, at
such times as are permitted under Subsection 2.1(s) of this Mortgage and as to
Mortgaged Property other than Cleanrooms on reasonable advance notice during
normal business hours.
Section 2.2. Performance by Grantee on Grantor's Behalf. Grantor
------------------------------------------
agrees that, if Grantor fails to perform any act or to take any action which
under any Credit Document Grantor is required to perform or take, or to pay any
money which under any Credit Document Grantor is required to pay, and whether or
not the failure then constitutes an Event of Default hereunder or thereunder,
and whether or not the Secured Indebtedness has been accelerated, Grantee, in
Grantor's name or its own name, may, to the extent authorized under the Credit
Documents, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such
act or take such action or pay such money, and any reasonable expenses so
incurred by Grantee and any money so paid by Grantee shall be a demand
obligation owing by Grantor to Grantee (which obligation Grantor hereby promises
to pay), shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and Grantee, upon making
such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, entity or
body politic receiving such payment. Grantee and its designees shall have the
right to enter upon the Mortgaged Property from time to time to the extent
authorized under the Credit Documents. No such payment or performance by Grantee
shall waive or cure any default or waive any right, remedy or recourse of
Grantee. Any such payment may be made by Grantee in reliance on any statement,
invoice or claim that appears on its face to be valid without inquiry into the
validity or accuracy thereof. The amount and nature of any expense by Grantee
hereunder and the time when paid shall be fully established by the certificate
of Grantee or any of Grantee's officers or agents.

Section 2.3. Absence of Obligations of Grantee with Respect to
-------------------------------------------------
Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to the contrary,
- ------------------
including, without limitation, the definition of "Mortgaged Property" and/or the
provisions of Article 3 hereof, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Mortgaged Property is composed of Grantor's rights, title and interests
therein but not Grantor's obligations, duties or liabilities pertaining thereto,
(ii) Grantee neither assumes nor shall have any obligations, duties or
liabilities in connection with any portion of the items described in the
definition of "Mortgaged Property" herein, either prior to or after obtaining
title to such Mortgaged Property, whether by foreclosure sale, the granting of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and (iii) Grantee may, at any time
prior to or after the acquisition of title to any portion of the Mortgaged
Property as above described, advise any party in writing as to the extent of
Grantee's interest therein and/or expressly disaffirm in writing any rights,
interests, obligations, duties and/or liabilities with respect to such Mortgaged
Property or matters related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Grantee shall have no obligations,
duties or liabilities prior to or after acquisition of title to any portion of
the Mortgaged Property, as lessee under any lease or purchaser or seller under
any contract or option unless Grantee elects otherwise by written notification.
The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to imply that Grantee has any
interest in the subleasehold estate created under the Sublease Agreement by
virtue of this Mortgage, or that this Mortgage is not subject and subordinate to
the leasehold created under the Lease Agreement.
Section 2.4. Interest on Amounts Due. Each amount due and owing by
-----------------------
Grantor to Grantee or any Holder pursuant to this Mortgage shall bear interest,
from the date such amount becomes due until paid, at the rate described in
Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement in effect on the date such amount
becomes due (but never in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by
applicable law), which interest shall be payable to Grantee or Holders as
applicable on demand; provided, however, that in the event that the Credit
-------- -------
Agreement is not then in effect, the rate described in Section 2.09(c) of the
Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference; and all
such amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall automatically and
without notice be a part of the Secured Indebtedness. For purposes of this
Section 2.4, the Credit Agreement shall establish the definition of Base Rate,
and, in the event that the Credit Agreement is not then in effect, the
definition of Base Rate set forth in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be
incorporated herein by reference.
ARTICLE 3 - Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents
-----------------------------------------
Section 3.1. Assignment. As additional security for the indebtedness
----------
secured hereby, Grantor hereby assigns to Grantee all Rents (hereinafter
defined) and all of Grantor's rights in and under all Leases (hereinafter
defined). Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default
hereunder, Grantee shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall be under
no duty) to demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law be sufficient action by Grantee to entitle
Grantee to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to
Grantee of Rents collected for the period in which the
-23-
<PAGE>
demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided in
this Mortgage, all without the necessity of any further action by Grantee,
including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land,
Improvements or any other portion of the Mortgaged Property. Grantor hereby
authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Grantee upon
written demand by Grantee, without further consent of Grantor, without any
obligation to determine whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and
regardless of whether Grantee has taken possession of any portion of the
Mortgaged Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Grantee to the tenants. Any such payment to Grantee shall
constitute payment to Grantor under the Leases, and Grantor hereby appoints
Grantee as Grantor's lawful attorney-in-fact for giving, and Grantee is hereby
empowered to give, acquittances to any tenants for such payments to Grantee upon
and after an Event of Default. The assignment contained in this Section shall
become null and void upon the release of this Mortgage. As used herein: (i)
"Lease" means each existing or future lease, sublease (to the extent of
-----
Grantor's rights thereunder) or other agreement under the terms of which any
person has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, or interest therein, including without limitation, the Lease
Agreement, the Air Rights Lease Agreement dated July 7, 1994, by and between
Grantor and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and the Sublease Agreement (to the
extent of Grantor's rights thereunder), and each existing or future guaranty of
payment or performance thereunder or under each such other lease, sublease,
agreement or guaranty, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and
replacements of such Lease Agreement and Air Rights Lease Agreement and each
such other lease, sublease, agreement or guaranty; and (ii) "Rents" means all of
-----
the rents, revenue, income, profits and proceeds derived and to be derived from
the Mortgaged Property (other than revenues, income, or profits resulting from
the sale of Grantor's inventory) or arising from the use or enjoyment of any
portion thereof or from any Lease, including but not limited to indemnity
obligations in favor of Grantor arising under any Lease (including without
limitation indemnity obligations covering any tenant's obligation to pay taxes,
utilities or other obligations relating to the leasehold), liquidated damages
following default under any such Lease, all proceeds payable under any policy of
insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage
to any part of the Mortgaged Property, all of Grantor's rights to recover
monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy including, without limitation,
rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of Lease
defaults, including rejections, under any applicable bankruptcy or other debtor
laws, together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be
or become due and payable to Grantor by virtue of any and all royalties,
overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or
character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas, mineral and
mining leases covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and all
proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Grantor under or pursuant to any and
all contracts and bonds relating to the construction or renovation of the
Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.2. Covenants, Representations and Warranties Concerning
----------------------------------------------------
Leases and Rents. Grantor covenants, represents and warrants that: (i) Grantor
- ----------------
has good title to, and is the owner of the entire landlord's interest in, the
Leases and Rents hereby assigned and authority to assign them; (ii) all Leases
are valid and enforceable, and in full force and effect, and are
-24-
<PAGE>
unmodified except as stated therein; (iii) unless otherwise stated in a
Permitted Encumbrance, no Rents or Leases have been or will be assigned,
mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered and no other person has or will
acquire any right, title or interest in such Rents or Leases; (iv) no Rents have
been waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised, except that the
rental under the Lease Agreement is a nominal $1.00; (v) except as stated in the
Leases, Grantor has not received any funds or deposits from any tenant for which
credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rents; (vi) Grantor shall
perform all of its obligations under the Leases and enforce the tenants'
obligations under the Leases to the extent enforcement is prudent under the
circumstances; (vii) Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of
Agent or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an Event of Default
exists, of Grantee, enter into any Lease after the date hereof, or waive,
release, discount, set off, compromise, reduce or defer any Rent, receive or
collect Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except for rent received more
than one (1) month in advance in connection with the Lease Agreement), grant any
rent-free period to any tenant, reduce any Lease term or waive, release or
otherwise modify any other material obligation under any Lease, renew or extend
any Lease except in accordance with a right of the tenant thereto in such Lease,
approve or consent to an assignment of a Lease or a subletting of any part of
the premises covered by a Lease, or settle or compromise any claim under a Lease
against a tenant in bankruptcy or otherwise; (viii) Grantor will not, except in
good faith where the tenant is in material default thereunder, terminate or
consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease having an unexpired term
of one year or more; (ix) Grantor will not execute any Lease except in
accordance with the Credit Documents and for actual occupancy by the tenant
thereunder; (x) Grantor shall give prompt notice to Grantee, as soon as Grantor
first obtains notice, of any claim, or the commencement of any action, by any
tenant or subtenant under or with respect to a Lease regarding any claimed
damage, default, diminution of or offset against Rent, cancellation of the
Lease, or constructive eviction, and Grantor shall defend, at Grantor's expense,
any proceeding pertaining to any Lease, including, if Grantee so requests, any
such proceeding to which Grantee is a party; (xi) Grantor shall as often as
requested by Grantee, within ten (10) days of each request, deliver to Grantee a
complete rent roll of the Mortgaged Property in such detail as Grantee may
require and financial statements of the tenants, subtenants and guarantors under
the Leases to the extent available to Grantor, and deliver to such of the
tenants and others obligated under the Leases specified by Grantee written
notice of the assignment in Section hereof in form and content satisfactory to
Grantee; (xii) promptly upon request by Grantee, Grantor shall deliver to
Grantee executed originals of all Leases and copies of all records relating
thereto; (xiii) there shall be no merger of the leasehold estates, created by
the Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of
Agent or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an Event of Default
exists, of Grantee; and (xiv) Grantee may at any time and from time to time by
specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate
the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice
to, Grantor, any tenant or any other person, and notice is hereby given to each
tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate; and (xv) Grantor shall not
amend or terminate the Lease Agreement, the Reciprocal Easement Agreement, or
the Sublease Agreement at any time, without the prior written consent of Agent
or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an Event of Default exists,
of Grantee, provided, however, that in the event that the Release Tract has been
-------- -------
released from the lien of this
-25-
<PAGE>
Mortgage by Grantee, the Lease Agreement may be amended but not terminated and
the Sublease Agreement may be amended or terminated; provided further, however,
---------------- -------
that the triple-net provisions, the indemnification provisions, and the non-
merger provisions may not be amended at any time, except with the prior written
consent of the Agent or, if the Credit Agreement is not then in effect or an
Event of Default exists, of Grantee. No such subordination shall constitute a
subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the
right of any junior lienholder; and nothing herein shall be construed as
subordinating this Mortgage to any Lease.
Section 3.3. No Liability of Grantee. Grantee's acceptance of this
-----------------------
assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Grantee a "mortgagee in
possession," nor obligate Grantee to appear in or defend any proceeding relating
to any Lease or to the Mortgaged Property, or to take any action hereunder,
expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability
under any Lease, or assume any obligation for any deposit delivered to Grantor
by any tenant and not as such delivered to and accepted by Grantee. Grantee
shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about
the Mortgaged Property, or for Grantee's failure to collect or to exercise
diligence in collecting Rents, but shall be accountable only for Rents that it
shall actually receive. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents nor
enforcement of Grantee's rights regarding Leases and Rents (including collection
of Rents) nor possession of the Mortgaged Property by Grantee nor Grantee's or
Agent's consent to or approval of any Lease (nor all of the same), shall render
Grantee liable on any obligation under or with respect to any Lease or
constitute affirmation of, or any subordination to, any Lease, occupancy, use or
option. If Grantee seeks or obtains any judicial relief regarding Rents or
Leases, the same shall in no way prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment
of any other appropriate rights or remedies nor shall same constitute an
election of judicial relief for any foreclosure or any other purpose. Grantee
neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to
any Lease. The rights of Grantee under this Article 3 shall be cumulative of all
other rights of Grantee under the Credit Documents or otherwise.
ARTICLE 4 - Default
-------
Section 4.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one of the
-----------------
following shall be an Event of Default under this Mortgage:
(a) Credit Agreement Default. The occurrence of an "Event of
------------------------
Default" as such term is defined under the Credit Agreement.
(b) Indenture Default. The occurrence of an "Event of Default" as
-----------------
such term is defined under the Indenture.
(c) Transfer of the Mortgaged Property. Any sale, lease, conveyance,
----------------------------------
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or transfer of all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property or any
-26-
<PAGE>
interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, except as permitted under the Credit Documents.
(d) Abandonment. The owner of the Mortgaged Property abandons any of
-----------
the Mortgaged Property.
(e) Default Under Other Lien. A default or Event of Default occurs
------------------------
under any lien, security interest or assignment covering the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof (whether or not Grantee or Agent has consented, and without
hereby implying Grantee's or Agent's consent, to any such lien, security
interest or assignment not created hereunder), or the holder of any such lien,
security interest or assignment declares a default or institutes foreclosure or
other proceedings for the enforcement of its remedies thereunder.
(f) Grant of Easement, Etc. Without the prior written consent of
-----------------------
Agent or Grantee, Grantor grants any easement, dedication or restriction or
files any plat, or otherwise encumbers the Mortgaged Property, or seeks or
permits any zoning reclassification or variance, unless such action is permitted
by the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, does not materially adversely affect
the Mortgaged Property, or is permitted under Section 6.25 or otherwise in this
Mortgage.
(g) Enforceability; Priority. Any Credit Document shall for any
------------------------
reason without Grantee's specific written consent cease to be in full force and
effect, or shall be declared null and void or unenforceable in whole or in part,
or the validity or enforceability thereof, in whole or in part, shall be
challenged or denied by any party thereto other than Grantee; or the liens,
mortgages or security interests of Grantee in any of the Mortgaged Property
become unenforceable in whole or in part, or cease to be of the first priority
herein required, or the validity or enforceability thereof, in whole or in part,
shall be challenged or denied by Grantor or any person obligated to pay any part
of the Secured Indebtedness.
(h) Destruction. The Mortgaged Property is demolished, destroyed or
-----------
damaged provided however that such demolition, destruction or damage shall not
-------- -------
constitute an Event of Default if Grantor has sufficient funds (including
insurance proceeds) to rebuild the Mortgaged Property and proceeds diligently to
rebuild the Mortgaged Property or the Secured Indebtedness has been paid in
full.
(i) Condemnation. There is commenced any proceeding to condemn or
------------
otherwise take pursuant to the power of eminent domain, or a contract for sale
or a conveyance in lieu of such a taking is executed which provides for the
transfer of a material portion of the Premises, such as would materially
adversely affect the use and operation thereof as a wafer fabrication facility
or materially diminish the value of the Premises.
Section 4.2. Notice and Cure. If any provision of this Mortgage or
---------------
any other Credit Document provides for Grantee or any Holder to give to Grantor
any notice regarding an
-27-
<PAGE>
Event of Default or incipient Event of Default, then if Grantee or any Holder
shall fail to give such notice to Grantor as provided, the sole and exclusive
remedy of Grantor for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief
to enforce the agreement to give such notice and to have any acceleration of the
maturity of the Notes, the Bank Indebtedness, and/or the Secured Indebtedness
postponed or revoked and foreclosure proceedings in connection therewith delayed
or terminated pending or upon the curing of such default or Event of Default in
the manner and during the period of time permitted by such agreement, if any,
and Grantor shall have no right to damages or any other type of relief not
herein specifically set out against Grantee or Holders, all of which damages or
other relief are hereby waived by Grantor. Nothing herein or in any other
Credit Document shall operate or be construed to add on or make cumulative any
cure or grace periods specified in any of the Credit Documents.
ARTICLE 5 - Remedies
--------
Section 5.1. Certain Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
----------------
continuing, Grantee or the Holders, as the case may be, may (but shall have no
obligation to) exercise any one or more of the following remedies, without
notice (unless notice is required by applicable statute):
(a) Acceleration. The Holders may at any time and from time to time
------------
declare any or all of the Secured Indebtedness immediately due and payable and
such Secured Indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of protest, notice of
acceleration or notice of intention to accelerate of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Grantor.
(b) Enforcement of Assignment of Rents. Prior or subsequent to
----------------------------------
taking possession of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or taking any action
with respect to such possession, Grantee may: (1) collect and/or sue for the
Rents in Grantee's own name, give receipts and releases therefor, and after
deducting all reasonable expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, apply the net proceeds thereof to the Secured Indebtedness in
such manner and order as Grantee may elect and/or to the operation and
management of the Mortgaged Property, including the payment of reasonable
management, brokerage and attorney's fees and expenses; and (2) require Grantor
to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Grantee together with
original counterparts of the Leases.
(c) Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
-----------
an Event of Default, Trustee, or her successor or substitute, is authorized and
empowered and it shall be her special duty at the request of Grantee to sell the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof situated in the State of Texas, at the
courthouse of any county (whether or not the counties in which the Mortgaged
Property is located are contiguous, if the Mortgaged Property is located in more
than one county) in the State of Texas in which any part of the Mortgaged
Property is situated, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash between the
hours of ten o'clock a.m. and four o'clock p.m. on the first Tuesday in any
month or at such other place, time and date as provided by the statutes of the
State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under
-28-
<PAGE>
powers of sale conferred by deed of trust, after having given notice of such
sale in accordance with such statutes. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may
be as an entirety or in such parcels as Grantee may request. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the
time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be
required by law. The sale by Trustee of less than the whole of the Mortgaged
Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is
specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until
the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such
sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall be less than the
aggregate of the Secured Indebtedness and the expense of executing this trust as
provided herein, this Mortgage and the lien hereof shall remain in full force
and effect as to the unsold portion of the Mortgaged Property just as though no
sale had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right
-------- -------
to require the sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property but Grantee
shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than
the whole of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee may, after any request or
direction by Grantee, sell not only the real property but also the Collateral
and other interests which are a part of the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of the
Mortgaged Property separately from the remainder of the Mortgaged Property. It
shall not be necessary for Trustee to have taken possession of any part of the
Mortgaged Property or to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the
Collateral. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers
at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor, conveying
the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of
title by Grantor, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (and to such leases and
other matters, if any, as Trustee may elect upon request of Grantee), and shall
receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein
provided. Payment of the purchase price to the Trustee shall satisfy the
obligation of purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be
responsible for the application thereof. In the event any sale hereunder is not
completed or is defective in the opinion of Grantee, such sale shall not exhaust
the power of sale hereunder and Grantee shall have the right to cause a
subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder. Any and all statements of fact
or other recitals made in any deed or deeds or other conveyances given by
Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of
the Secured Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as
to the Holders' having declared all of the Secured Indebtedness to be due and
payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms
of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the
refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor
trustee, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as
to any other act or thing having been duly done by Grantee, the Holders, or by
such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of
the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Trustee or her successor or
substitute may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform
any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including the
posting or filing of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on
behalf of Trustee, her successor or substitute. If Trustee or her successor or
substitute shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or
substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance
of
-29-
<PAGE>
the property pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the successor
or substitute Trustee conducting the sale.
(d) Uniform Commercial Code. Without limitation of Grantee's rights
-----------------------
of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance
with the procedures for foreclosure of real estate, Grantee may exercise its
rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof under
the UCC (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the
extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to or in
substitution for those rights and remedies: (1) Grantee may enter upon
Grantor's premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the Collateral
or, to the extent and for those items of the Collateral permitted under
applicable law, to render it unusable; (2) Grantee may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Grantee designates
which is mutually convenient to allow Grantee to take possession or dispose of
the Collateral; (3) written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein at least
ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the
date after which private sale of the Collateral will be made shall constitute
reasonable notice; (4) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with and upon the same notice as
required for the sale of the Mortgaged Property under power of sale as provided
in paragraph (c) above in this Section ; (5) in the event of a foreclosure sale,
whether made by Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court,
the Collateral and the other Mortgaged Property may, at the option of Grantee,
be sold as a whole; (6) it shall not be necessary that Grantee take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant
to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary
that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale;
(7) with respect to application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral
under Section hereof, the costs and expenses incident to disposition shall
include the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or
lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses incurred by Grantee; (8) any and all statements of fact or other
recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing
any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Secured Indebtedness or
as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to Grantee having declared
all of the Secured Indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time,
place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given,
or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Grantee, shall be taken
as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and (9)
Grantee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any
act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Grantee, including the
sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of
Grantee.
(e) Lawsuits. Grantee may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or
--------
at law, whether for collection of the Secured Indebtedness, the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the
execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for
the sale of the Mortgaged Property under the judgment or decree of any court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.
-30-
<PAGE>
(f) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Grantee is authorized, prior or
---------------------------
subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, and to take possession of the Mortgaged Property and all books and
records relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any
and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession,
operation, protection or preservation of the Mortgaged Property. Grantee shall
not be deemed to have taken possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the
extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose. All
reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by
Grantee in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the
Mortgaged Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Grantor (which
obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay within five (5) days of demand) to
Grantee pursuant to this Mortgage. If necessary to obtain the possession
provided for above, Grantee may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess
Grantor. In connection with any action taken by Grantee pursuant to this
Section, Grantee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting
from any failure to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or from any
act or omission of Grantee in managing the Mortgaged Property unless such loss
is caused by the willful misconduct or bad faith of Grantee, nor shall Grantee
be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of
Grantor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Mortgaged
Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising.
Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Grantee
with respect to the Mortgaged Property taken under this Section.
(g) Receiver. Grantee shall as a matter of right be entitled to the
--------
appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale (or sales) of
such property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Mortgaged
Property or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the payment of the
Secured Indebtedness. Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Grantee of
any other right, remedy or privilege it may have under the law to have a
receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Grantee in connection with any such
receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby
promises to pay within five (5) days of demand) owing by Grantor to Grantee
pursuant to this Mortgage.
(h) Other Rights and Remedies. Grantee and the Holders may exercise
-------------------------
any and all other rights and remedies which Grantee or any Holder may have under
the Credit Documents, or at law or in equity or otherwise.
Section 5.2. Effective as Mortgage. This instrument shall be
---------------------
effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any of the Mortgaged Property in any
manner permitted by applicable law, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by
Trustee or by Grantee; and to the extent, if any, required to cause this
instrument to be so effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust, Grantor
hereby mortgages the Mortgaged Property to Grantee. In the event a foreclosure
hereunder shall be
-31-
<PAGE>
commenced by Trustee, or her substitute or successor, Grantee may at any time
before the sale of the Mortgaged Property direct Trustee to abandon the sale,
and may then institute suit for the collection of the Notes, the Bank
Indebtedness, and/or any other Secured Indebtedness and for the foreclosure of
this Mortgage. It is agreed that if Grantee should institute a suit for the
collection of the Notes, the Bank Indebtedness, and/or any other Secured
Indebtedness and for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, Grantee may at any time
before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require
Trustee, her substitute or successor to sell the Mortgaged Property in
accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.
Section 5.3. Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any sale held
-----------------------
by Trustee or Grantee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the
liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be applied: FIRST, to the
-----
payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale,
including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses,
all court costs and charges of every character, and a reasonable fee (not
exceeding five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of such sale) to Trustee
acting under the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section hereof if foreclosed by
power of sale as provided in said paragraph, and to the payment of the other
Secured Indebtedness, including specifically without limitation the obligations
of Grantor to Grantee, the principal, accrued interest and reasonable attorneys'
fees due and unpaid on the Notes, the Bank Indebtedness, and the amounts due and
unpaid and owed to Grantee and any Holder under this Mortgage, the order and
manner of application to the items in this clause FIRST to be, as between
-----
Grantor and Grantee, in Grantee's sole discretion; and SECOND, the remainder, if
------
any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor, or to Grantor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors or assigns, or such other persons (including the
holder or beneficiary of any inferior lien) as may be entitled thereto by law;
provided, however, that if Grantee is uncertain which person or persons are so
- -------- -------
entitled, Grantee may interplead such remainder in any court of competent
jurisdiction, and the amount of any reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and
expenses incurred in such action shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and
shall be reimbursable (without limitation) from such remainder.
Section 5.4. Beneficiaries as Purchaser. Grantee, Agent, Indenture
--------------------------
Trustee, Trustee, or any Holder shall have the right to become the purchaser at
any sale held by Trustee or her substitute or successor or by any receiver or
public officer or at any public sale, and any such purchaser shall have the
right to credit upon the amount of its or her successful bid, to the extent
necessary to satisfy such bid, all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness in
such manner and order as Grantee may elect.
Section 5.5. Foreclosure as to Matured Debt. Upon the occurrence and
------------------------------
during the continuation of an Event of Default, Grantee shall have the right to
proceed with foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the liens and security
interests hereunder without declaring the entire Secured Indebtedness due, and
in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured
part of the Secured Indebtedness; and any such sale shall not in any manner
affect the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured
part this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale
had been made. The proceeds of such sale
-32-
<PAGE>
shall be applied as provided in Section 5.3 hereof except that the amount paid
under clause FIRST thereof shall be only the matured portion of the Secured
Indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in
clause FIRST (modified as provided above) shall be applied to the prepayment
(without penalty) of any other Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order and
to such extent as Grantee deems advisable, and the remainder, if any, shall be
applied as provided in clause SECOND of Section 5.3 hereof. Several sales may be
made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of
the Secured Indebtedness.
Section 5.6. Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided
-------------------
for herein and in any other Credit Document are cumulative of each other and of
any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity, and Trustee,
Grantee and the Holders shall, in addition to the rights and remedies provided
herein or in any other Credit Document, be entitled to avail themselves of all
such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity
for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness and the enforcement of the
covenants herein and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests
evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder
or under any such other Credit Document or provided for by law or in equity
shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other
appropriate right or rights or remedy or remedies.
Section 5.7. Grantee's Discretion as to Security. Grantee may
-----------------------------------
resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now
existing or hereafter given to Grantee to secure the payment of the Secured
Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may
seem best to Grantee in its sole discretion, and any such action shall not in
anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or
security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.
Section 5.8. Grantor's Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent
----------------------------------
Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon,
plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in
force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption,
and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law and except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Documents, hereby waives and releases
all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of
intention to accelerate, mature or declare due the whole of the Secured
Indebtedness, notice of acceleration, notice of election to mature or declare
due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of
assets of Grantor, including the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse
order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and/or security
interests hereby created. Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any
statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse
order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates
of decedents, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of
Grantee under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for
the collection of the Secured Indebtedness without any prior or different resort
for collection, or the right of Grantee under the terms of this Mortgage to the
payment of
-33-
<PAGE>
the Secured Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property
in preference to every other claimant (other than the Holders) whatever.
Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert
pursuant to the UCC, or any other provision of Texas or New York law, pertaining
to the rights and remedies of sureties. If any law referred to in this Section
and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any
interest in the Mortgaged Property might take advantage despite this Section,
shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not
thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.
Section 5.9. Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure. In the event
----------------------------------------
there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Grantor or
Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns are occupying
or using the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall
immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall
be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of either landlord or
tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property
occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser; and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding
any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand
immediate possession following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as
tenants at will. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said
property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain
a summary action for possession of the property (such as an action for forcible
detainer) in any court having jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 6 - Miscellaneous
-------------
Section 6.1. Scope of Mortgage. This Mortgage is a deed of trust and
-----------------
mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, a financing
statement and a collateral assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.
Section 6.2. Effective as a Financing Statement. This Mortgage
----------------------------------
shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with
respect to all fixtures included within the Mortgaged Property and is to be
filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the
Mortgaged Property (including said fixtures) is situated. This Mortgage shall
also be effective as a financing statement covering minerals or the like
(including oil and gas) and accounts subject to Subsection (e) of Section 9.103
of the UCC, as amended, and similar provisions (if any) of the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in any other state where the Mortgaged Property is
situated which will be financed at the wellhead or minehead of the wells or
mines located on the Mortgaged Property and is to be filed for record in the
real estate records of each county where any part of the Mortgaged Property is
situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement
covering any other Mortgaged Property and may be filed in any other appropriate
filing or recording office. The mailing address of debtor is the address of
Grantor set forth at the end of this Mortgage and the address of the secured
party from which information concerning the security interests hereunder may be
obtained is the address of Grantee set forth at the end of this Mortgage. A
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
-34-
<PAGE>
Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be
sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in this
Section.
Section 6.3. Waiver. Grantee may at any time and from time to time
------
by a specific writing intended for the purpose: (a) waive compliance by Grantor
with any covenant herein made by Grantor to the extent and in the manner
specified in such writing; (b) consent to Grantor's doing any act which
hereunder Grantor is prohibited from doing, or to Grantor's failing to do any
act which hereunder Grantor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner
specified in such writing; (c) release any part of the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein from the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, without
the joinder of Trustee; or (d) release any party liable, either directly or
indirectly, for the Secured Indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any
other Credit Document, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other
party. No such act shall in any way affect the rights or powers of Grantee or
Trustee hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Grantee in such
writing.
Section 6.4. No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest
-------------------------
and other security rights of Grantee hereunder or under any other Credit
Document shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted
by Grantee including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification
which Grantee may grant with respect to any Secured Indebtedness, or any
surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution
which Grantee may grant in respect of the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any
endorser, guarantor or surety of any Secured Indebtedness. The taking of
additional security by Grantee shall not release or impair the lien, security
interest or other security rights of Grantee hereunder or affect the liability
of Grantor or of any endorser, guarantor or surety, or improve the right of any
junior lienholder in the Mortgaged Property (without implying hereby Grantee's
or Agent's consent to any junior lien).
Section 6.5. Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Grantee. Grantee may
---------------------------------------
waive any default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default or Event
of Default. Grantee may remedy any default or Event of Default without waiving
the default or Event of Default remedied. Neither failure by Grantee to
exercise, nor delay by Grantee in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise
of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to
accelerate the maturity of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof) upon or
after any Event of Default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or
Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power
or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Grantee of any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy
hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or
waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by Grantee (or in the case of a consent, by Agent) and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for
which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on
Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Grantee
-35-
<PAGE>
or appropriate Holder, as applicable, of any payment in an amount less than the
amount then due on any Secured Indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on
account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default
hereunder.
Section 6.6. Grantor's Successors. If the ownership of the Mortgaged
--------------------
Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor,
Grantee may, without notice to Grantor, deal with such successor or successors
in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the Secured Indebtedness in
the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way vitiating or discharging
Grantor's liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or
performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Mortgaged
Property, no forbearance on the part of Grantee or any Holder, and no extension
of the time for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness given by Grantee or any
Holder shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole
or in part, the liability of Grantor hereunder for the payment of the
indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability
of any other person hereunder for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Each
Grantor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Mortgage or
any of the other Credit Documents made by Grantee or Holder as applicable and
any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, with or without notice to such
Grantor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of such Grantor
under this Mortgage or any other Credit Document. Nothing in this Section or
elsewhere in this Mortgage shall be construed to imply Grantee's, Agent's or any
Holder's consent to any transfer of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 6.7. Subrogation to Existing Liens; Vendor's Lien. To the
--------------------------------------------
extent that proceeds of the Notes and the Bank Indebtedness are used to pay
indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior
encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property, such proceeds have been advanced by
Holders at Grantor's request, and Holders shall be subrogated to any and all
rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such
outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote,
irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances
are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are
renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Secured Indebtedness, but
the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall govern and control the manner
and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and
encumbrances to which Holders are subrogated hereunder. It is expressly
understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by
Holders, Grantor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for
offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. If all or any
portion of the proceeds of the Bank Indebtedness or the loans evidenced by the
Notes or of any other Secured Indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of
paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Mortgaged Property, no
vendor's lien is waived; and Grantee (for the benefit of Holders) shall have,
and is hereby granted, a vendor's lien on the Mortgaged Property as cumulative
additional security for the Secured Indebtedness. Grantee may foreclose under
this Mortgage or under the vendor's lien without waiving the other or may
foreclose under both.
-36-
<PAGE>
Section 6.8. Application of Payments to Certain Indebtedness. If any
-----------------------------------------------
part of the Secured Indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or
if any part of the Mortgaged Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and
security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all
payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that
portion thereof which is not secured by this Mortgage.
Section 6.9. Substitute Trustee. Trustee may resign by an
------------------
instrument in writing addressed to Grantee, or Trustee may be removed at any
time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Grantee. In
case of the death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of Trustee, or if
for any reason Grantee shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or
successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute
or successor trustee, then Grantee shall have the right and is hereby authorized
and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or a substitute trustee, without
other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Grantee
and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other
successor and substitute trustees successively until the Secured Indebtedness
has been paid in full, or until the Mortgaged Property is fully and finally sold
hereunder. If Grantee is a corporation, trust company, or association and such
appointment is executed on its behalf by an officer of such corporation, trust
company, or association, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be
executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any
action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation,
trust company, or association. Upon the making of any such appointment and
designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Property
shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee and he or she shall
thereupon succeed to, and shall hold, possess and execute, all the rights,
powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All
references herein to "Trustee" shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including
-------
any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from
time to time acting hereunder.
Section 6.10. No Liability of Trustee. Trustee shall not be liable
-----------------------
for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise
responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever (including
Trustee's negligence), except for Trustee's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or
signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by
her hereunder, believed by her in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received
by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any
manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by her
hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the
herein named Trustee or her successor or successors, substitute or substitutes,
in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Grantor will reimburse
Trustee for, and save her harmless against, any and all liability and expenses
which may be incurred by her in the performance of her duties. The foregoing
indemnity shall not terminate upon discharge of the Secured Indebtedness or
foreclosure, or release or other termination, of this Mortgage.
-37-
<PAGE>
Section 6.11. Release of Mortgage. If all of the Secured
-------------------
Indebtedness be paid as the same becomes due and payable and all of the
covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Mortgage are
kept and performed, and all obligations, if any, of all Holders for further
advances have been terminated, then, and in that event only, all rights under
this Mortgage shall terminate (except to the extent expressly provided herein
with respect to indemnifications, representations and warranties and other
rights which are to continue following the release hereof) and the Mortgaged
Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances
and assignments evidenced hereby, and such liens and security interests shall be
promptly released by Grantee in due form at Grantor's cost. Without limitation,
all provisions herein for indemnity of Grantee, Holders, or Trustee shall
survive discharge of the Secured Indebtedness and any foreclosure, release or
termination of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the indemnity
provisions set forth in Section 2.1(o) hereof.
Section 6.12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and
-------
other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder or
under any other Credit Document shall be in writing and, shall be deemed
sufficiently given or furnished if delivered (i) by personal delivery, by
courier service that provides an airbill or other evidence of delivery or
attempted delivery, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified at
the end of this Mortgage (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by
the particular party whose address is to be changed); or (ii) by telegram,
telex, or facsimile (which shall be followed promptly by a written notice sent
in the manner providing in the preceding clause (i) of this sentence; or (iii)
by any method permitted under the Credit Agreement or the Indenture or expressly
otherwise required under this Mortgage. Any such notice or communication shall
be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the
case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the
address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of telegram, telex or
facsimile, upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of
address shall be effective except upon receipt. This Section shall not be
construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided
in any Credit Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any
person in any situation or for any reason.
Section 6.13. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. A determination
--------------------------------
that any provision of this Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect
the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that
the application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance
is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of
such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.
Section 6.14. Gender; Titles; Construction. Within this Mortgage,
----------------------------
words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and
words in the singular number shall be held and construed to include the plural,
unless the context otherwise requires. Titles appearing at the beginning of any
subdivisions hereof are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such
subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in
such subdivisions. The use of the words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and
other similar
-38-
<PAGE>
compounds of the word "here" shall refer to this entire Mortgage and not to any
particular Article, Section, paragraph or provision. The term "person" and
words importing persons as used in this Mortgage shall include firms,
associations, partnerships (including limited partnerships), joint ventures,
trusts, corporations, limited liability companies, trust companies, and other
legal entities, including public or governmental bodies, agencies or
instrumentalities, as well as natural persons.
Section 6.15. Reporting Compliance. Grantor agrees to comply with
--------------------
any and all reporting requirements applicable to the transaction involving the
Bank Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and the transaction evidenced by the
Notes secured by this Mortgage which are set forth in any law, statute,
ordinance, rule, regulation, order or determination of any governmental
authority, including but not limited to The International Investment Survey Act
of 1976, The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978, The Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the Tax Reform Act of 1984 and
further agrees upon request of Grantee to furnish Grantee with evidence of such
compliance.
Section 6.16. Consent. Except where otherwise expressly provided
-------
herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of
judgment of Grantee or Agent is required or requested, (i) the granting or
denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be
within the sole discretion of Grantee or Agent as applicable, and Grantee and
Agent shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such
approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner,
regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or Grantee's or Agent's
judgment, and (ii) no approval or consent of Grantee or Agent shall be deemed to
have been given except by a specific writing intended for the purpose and
executed by an authorized representative of Grantee or Agent, as applicable.
Section 6.17. Grantor. Unless the context clearly indicates
-------
otherwise, as used in this Mortgage, "Grantor" means the grantor named in
Section hereof. If any Grantor, or any signatory who signs on behalf of any
Grantor, is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other
legal entity, Grantor and any such signatory, and the person or persons signing
for it, represent and warrant to Grantee that this instrument is executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Grantor's duly authorized representatives. If
Grantor is an individual, no power of attorney granted by Grantor herein shall
terminate on Grantor's disability.
Section 6.18. Execution; Recording. This Mortgage has been executed
--------------------
in several counterparts, all of which are identical, and all of which
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The date or
dates reflected in the acknowledgments hereto indicate the date or dates of
actual execution of this Mortgage, but such execution is as of the date shown on
the first page hereof, and for purposes of identification and reference the date
of this Mortgage shall be deemed to be the date reflected on the first page
hereof. Grantor will cause this Mortgage and all amendments and supplements
thereto and substitutions therefor and all financing statements and continuation
statements relating thereto to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in
such
-39-
<PAGE>
manner and in such places as Trustee or Grantee shall reasonably request and
will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and
other charges.
Section 6.19. Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions,
----------------------
covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of Grantor, Trustee, Grantee and Holders and their respective
representatives, successors and assigns and shall constitute covenants running
with the Land. All references in this Mortgage to any person shall be deemed to
include all such person's representatives, successors and assigns.
Section 6.20. Modification or Termination. This Mortgage may only be
---------------------------
modified or terminated by a written instrument or instruments intended for that
purpose and executed by the party against which enforcement of the modification
or termination is asserted. Any alleged modification or termination which is
not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
Section 6.21. No Partnership, etc. The relationship between Holders
-------------------
and Grantor is solely that of lenders or securities purchaser and borrower. The
relationship between Grantee and Grantor is solely that of lienholder/secured
party and debtor. Neither Holders nor Grantee have any fiduciary or other
special relationship with Grantor. Nothing contained in the Credit Documents is
intended to create any partnership, joint venture, association or special
relationship between Grantor and Holders or between Grantor and Grantee or in
any way make Grantee or any Holder a co-principal with Grantor with reference to
the Mortgaged Property. All agreed contractual duties between or among Holders,
Grantor, Grantee, and Trustee are set forth herein and in the other Credit
Documents and any additional implied covenants or duties are hereby disclaimed.
Any inferences to the contrary of any of the foregoing are hereby expressly
negated.
Section 6.22. Compliance with Usury Laws. It is the intent of
--------------------------
Grantor and Grantee and all other parties to the Credit Documents to conform to
and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in
effect. All agreements between Grantee and Grantor (or any other party liable
with respect to any indebtedness under the Credit Documents) are hereby limited
by the provisions of this Section which shall override and control all such
agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any
event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, Event of
Default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation),
shall the interest taken, reserved, contacted for, charged, chargeable, or
received under this Mortgage, the Notes or any other Credit Document, or in
respect of the Bank Indebtedness or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious
amount permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Amount"). If, from any possible
--------------
construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of
the Maximum Amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section and such document shall ipso facto be automatically reformed and
the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Amount,
without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Grantee
or any Holder shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as
interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in
excess of the Maximum Amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have
been excessive interest
-40-
<PAGE>
shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing on the Secured Indebtedness in the inverse order of its maturity and not
to the payment of interest, or refunded to Grantor or the other payor thereof if
and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such
unpaid principal. The right to accelerate maturity of the Notes, the Bank
Indebtedness, or any other Secured Indebtedness does not include the right to
accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such
acceleration, and neither Grantee nor any Holder intends to charge or receive
any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed
to be paid to Grantee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term
(including any renewal or extension) of such Secured Indebtedness so that the
amount of interest on account of such Secured Indebtedness does not exceed the
Maximum Amount. As used in this Section, the term "applicable law" shall mean
the state law applicable to the Secured Indebtedness, pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, or the Indenture (whichever relates to the relevant portion of the
Secured Indebtedness), or the federal law of the United States, whichever law
allows the greater interest, as such law now exists or may be changed or amended
or come into effect in the future.
Section 6.23. Applicable Law. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE CONSTRUED, AND THE
--------------
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR AND GRANTEE HEREUNDER DETERMINED, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROVISIONS HEREOF THAT RELATE TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, AND PRIORITY OF LIENS
AGAINST, THE CONVEYANCE OF TITLE TO, OR THE REALIZATION UPON THE MORTGAGED
PROPERTY, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK OR TEXAS STATE COURT, OR ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL COURT, SITTING IN NEW YORK OR TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH
PROCESS TO GRANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH AT THE END OF THIS MORTGAGE.

CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. GRANTOR FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO
VENUE IN SUCH STATE AND ANY OBJECTION TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH STATE
ON THE BASIS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION Applicable Law6.23

Section 6.24. Waiver of Deficiency Statute Protections/Fair Market Value
----------------------------------------------------------
for Calculating Deficiencies.
- ----------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005
of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and
to the extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that Grantee or any Holder shall
be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and any other party
obligated on the Secured Indebtedness equal to the difference between the amount
of the Secured Indebtedness and the amount for which the Mortgaged Property was
sold pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly
recognizes that this Section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions
of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor and other
persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or guarantors
independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against
them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Mortgaged
Property as of the date of foreclosure and offset against any deficiency by the
amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such
fair market value. Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver
creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to
the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of calculating
deficiencies owed by Grantor, guarantors, and others against whom recovery of a
deficiency is sought.
(b) Alternatively, in the event this waiver is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be considered
competent evidence for the finder of fact's determination of the fair market
value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in
proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas
Property Code (as amended from time to time):
(i) The Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an "as is" condition as of
the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the
Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of
the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure;
(ii) The valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure
purchaser desires a prompt resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly
(but no later than twelve months) following the foreclosure sale;
(iii) All expenses to be incurred when Grantee or any Holder resells the
Mortgaged Property including reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the
seller in a commercial real estate transaction should be added to the Secured
Indebtedness, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title
insurance, a survey of the Mortgaged Property, tax prorations, attorneys' fees,
and marketing costs;
(iv) The gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be
further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with
maintaining the Mortgaged
-42-
<PAGE>
Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses,
property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for
in (iii) above), and other maintenance expenses; and
(v) Any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a
determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given
by persons having at least five years experience in appraising improved property
in the vicinity where the Mortgaged Property is located and being actively
engaged therein at the time of such testimony.
Section 6.25. Release Tract and Ratification.
------------------------------
(a) After the execution of this Mortgage, Grantor shall use its best
efforts to replat the Land into two separate platted tracts: (1) the Release
Tract (as hereinafter defined); and (2) the Security Tract (as hereinafter
defined). As used herein, the term "Release Tract" means the portion of the
Land more particularly described by metes and bounds on Exhibit C attached
---------
hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Release Tract Property
----------------------
Description"). As used herein the term "Security Tract" means the portion of
- -----------
the Land more particularly described by metes and bounds on Exhibit D attached
---------
hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Security Tract Property
-----------------------
Description"), together with all Improvements situated thereon. Grantee
- -----------
consents to a replat of the Land described by the Release Tract Property
Description into the Release Tract (the "Release Tract Plat") and to a replat of
------------------
the Land described by the Security Tract Property Description (the "Security
--------
Tract Plat") into the Security Tract. Grantor and Grantee agree, acknowledge,
- ----------
and confirm that the value of the Release Tract, at the time of the execution of
this Mortgage, is $1,500,042.
(b) Grantor shall be entitled to receive from Grantee a release of the lien
of this Mortgage covering the Release Tract in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 1 to this Mortgage (the "Partial Release of Lien"), if
- ---------- -----------------------
(1) Grantee and Agent shall have received from Grantor a copy of the
Release Tract Plat covering the Release Tract, showing recording data,
evidencing final plat approval by the City of Austin, and involving no
deviation from the Release Tract Property Description (except as otherwise
provided below);
(2) Grantee and Agent shall have received from Grantor a copy of the
Security Tract Plat covering the Security Tract, showing recording data,
evidencing final plat approval by the City of Austin, and involving no
deviation from the Security Tract Property Description (except as otherwise
provided below); and
(3) Grantee, Agent, and Indenture Trustee shall have received from
Grantor a written certificate executed by Grantor that certifies to
Grantee, Agent, and Indenture Trustee that the Release Tract Plat and the
Security Tract Plat delivered by Grantor pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(1)
and (b)(2) immediately
-43-
<PAGE>
preceding meets the criteria set forth in subparagraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2)
immediately preceding.
Grantee and Agent shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of such Grantor
certificate or Grantor's certificate under Section 6.25(c) hereof (and
accompanying items pursuant to subparagraph (1) and (2) above) or from receipt
of the certificate of Grantee's engineering (or other) consultant, if later, to
determine whether the items submitted by Grantor pursuant to subparagraphs (1) -
(3) above meet the criteria set forth in subparagraphs (1) - (3) above.
(c) The Release Tract Plat shall not encompass a tract of land that
deviates in any respect from the tract of land described in the Release Tract
Property Description, unless the City of Austin requires such deviation as a
condition to its approval. The Security Tract Plat shall not encompass a tract
of land that deviates in any respect from the tract of land described in the
Security Tract Property Description, unless the City of Austin requires such
deviation as a condition to its approval. In the event that the Release Tract
Plat encompasses a tract of land that deviates in any respect from the tract of
land described in the Release Tract Property Description, as required by the
City of Austin, or in the event that the Security Tract Plat encompasses a tract
of land that deviates in any respect from the tract of land described in the
Security Tract Property Description as required by the City of Austin, Grantor
shall provide Grantee, Agent, and Indenture Trustee, in addition to the items
required by subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) above and as a condition to Grantee's
execution and delivery of the Partial Release of Lien, (i) a certificate from
Grantee's engineering consultant, Gray Jansing & Associates, Inc., or other
engineer or consultant reasonably satisfactory to Agent, Grantee, and Grantor
(which consent of Grantor shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which consent
of Grantor shall be deemed given, if Grantor fails to consent to or reject the
use of such consultant within five (5) business days of Grantee's requested
choice of such consultant), in the form attached as Schedule 2 to this Mortgage;
----------
(ii) a certificate of Grantor in the form attached as Schedule 3 to this
----------
Mortgage; (iii) an amendment to the Lease Agreement and the Sublease Agreement
in which the property description of the leased or subleased premises is
replaced with the property description of the Release Tract with such deviations
from the Release Tract Property Description as have been approved by Grantee's
engineering (or other) consultant in its certificate required by subparagraph
(i) immediately preceding and for which Grantor's certificate required by
subparagraph (ii) immediately preceding has been given; and (iv) an amendment to
the Easement Agreement in which the property descriptions of the Premises (as
defined in the Easement Agreement) and AMD's Adjoining Land (as defined in the
Easement Agreement) are replaced with the property descriptions of the Release
Tract and the Security Tract respectively with such deviations from the Release
Tract Property Description and from the Security Tract Property Description as
have been approved by Grantee's engineering (or other) consultant in its
certificate given in accordance with subparagraph (i) above and for which
Grantor's certificate required by subparagraph (ii) immediately preceding has
been given. For purposes of the certificates attached as Schedule 2 and
----------
Schedule 3 to this Mortgage and this Section 6.25(c), the term "Fab 25 Complex"
- ----------
shall mean the buildings that house the integrated circuit manufacturing (i.e.
wafer fabrication) facility known as "Fab 25" and all related support buildings,
structures, and plants, including, without limitation, the nitrogen plant, the
-44-
<PAGE>
industrial waste neutralization plant, the reverse osmosis de-ionized water
production plant, and the electric substation. Notwithstanding any provision
contained in this Mortgage to the contrary, Grantee shall have no obligation to
release the Release Tract if any portion of the buildings and structures
comprising the Fab 25 Complex is located on the Release Tract.
(d) Grantor grants Grantee an irrevocable power of attorney, in Grantor's
name and on its behalf, to re-plat the Land into the Release Tract and the
Security Tract and to contact, negotiate and settle with the City of Austin and
all relevant governmental authorities all issues in connection with any such re-
platting, in the event that Grantor is unable to accomplish the re-platting of
the Land into the Release Tract and the Security Tract within one year from the
date of this Mortgage or and an Event of Default or a default which, with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of
Default, exists.
(e) Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees that, after the granting of
such partial release as is provided herein, Grantor at Grantor's expense shall,
within ninety (90) days after recording of such Partial Release of Lien, obtain
a separation upon all public taxing and assessment rolls so that the remainder
of the Mortgaged Property then subject to the lien of this Mortgage shall be
separately rendered for tax purposes.
(f) In the event that (i) the Release Tract is released by Grantee pursuant
to the terms of this Section 6.25, and (ii) Grantee forecloses on the Security
Tract or receives a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the Security Tract, Grantor
agrees to execute a reciprocal easement agreement (the "New Easement Agreement")
----------------------
incorporating the provisions of the Easement Agreement, except that the New
Easement Agreement shall show Grantee and Grantor as the parties granting
reciprocal easements to each other. Grantor grants Grantee an irrevocable power
of attorney to execute Grantor's name, on behalf of Grantor, to such New
Easement Agreement. In the event that such New Easement Agreement is not
executed and filed of record, this provision of the Deed of Trust, which shall
survive foreclosure or deed given in lieu of foreclosure, shall constitute
ratification and joinder by Grantor and Grantee in the Easement Agreement and a
grant of the same easements by Grantor to Grantee as were granted by AMD Texas
Properties, L.L.C. ("Tenant") to Grantor in the Easement Agreement and a grant
------
of the same easements by Grantee to Grantor as were granted by Grantor to Tenant
in the Easement Agreement. For purposes of this subparagraph (f) only, the term
"Grantee" shall include any third party purchaser of the Security Tract at a
foreclosure.

-----
to Lessor prior to delinquency, and in no event more than thirty (30) days after

tract, Lessor shall calculate and bill Lessee for its prorata portion of real
property taxes. Lessee's proportionate share, if any, of real property taxes

buildings and building improvements ("Building Taxes"), these taxes shall be
allocated to the owner of the building or building improvements. On request of
the other, Lessor and Lessee shall apply individually (if legally permitted) or
join in the other's application (if legally required) for separate assessments
for the Premises. In no event shall Lessee report or pay real estate taxes to
the taxing authorities unless authorized in writing by Lessor. Lessee shall

governmental authorities and shall timely and directly pay all personal property
taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities with respect to any personal
property owned by Lessee which may be located on the Premises or on any
easements appurtenant thereto. Lessee shall protect, defend, indemnify, hold
and save Lessor harmless from and against any and all taxes, levies,
assessments, fees, penalties, interest or other governmental charges which are
to be paid or reimbursed by Lessee pursuant to this Section 4.1, and all losses,
costs, liabilities, or damages (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, accountants' fees and court costs) incurred by or asserted
against Lessor in connection therewith or in any way related thereto. The
indemnities contained herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease.

4.3 Contests. If Lessee desires in good faith to contest the imposition
--------
of any tax which is the obligation of Lessee to pay under this Article IV,
Lessee shall not later than twenty (20) days prior to the delinquency of such
tax, give Lessor written notice of Lessee's intention to do so. Lessee may
withhold payment of such tax (i) only if nonpayment is permitted during the
pendency of the proceeding without the foreclosure of any tax lien or the
imposition of any fine or penalty or the institution of any criminal
proceedings, and (ii) only so long as Lessee is contesting the same or the
validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings diligently pursued. Any such
contest shall be prosecuted to completion and shall be conducted solely at
Lessee's expense. Lessee shall protect and indemnify Lessor against any and all
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees),
damages, liabilities, penalties, fines and interest resulting from such
proceeding or from Lessee's failure to timely pay such taxes. Within twenty
(20) days after the final determination of the amount due from Lessee with

due, together with all costs and expenses, whether or not this Lease shall have
terminated.

5.1 Lessee shall pay all charges for any electricity, telephone, gas,
water and other utilities used by Lessee in or on the Premises, and for the
installation, repair and maintenance of all such utilities and the separate
metering thereof, before such charges become delinquent. Lessor shall not be
liable for damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility
service furnished to the Premises by any utility company unless such failure or
interruption was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor
or Lessor's agents, employees or contractors. Lessor shall not be liable for
damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any services or support
activities provided herein or in the Reciprocal Easement Agreement to be
furnished by Lessor to Lessee unless such failure or interruption was caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's agents,
employees or contractors. No such failure or interruption shall be deemed an
eviction or entitle Lessee to terminate this Lease or withhold or abate any rent
due hereunder. Lessee shall protect, defend, indemnify, hold and save Lessor
harmless from and against any and all utility charges which are to be paid by
Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.1, and all losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, accountants'
fees and court costs) incurred by or asserted against Lessor in connection

coverage maintained by Lessee is not diminished by reason thereof, Lessee hereby

cause its insurance policies to contain waiver of subrogation clauses in
accordance with the foregoing.

Option to Purchase; Put Options
-------------------------------
17.1 Option to Purchase. For One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and
------------------
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by Lessor, Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the exclusive right and
option to purchase "Lessee's Parcel" (hereinbelow defined), for the total cash
---------------
purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00), provided that the purchase and conveyance
of Lessee's Parcel can be effected without violation of the subdivision
ordinances of the City of Austin, Texas. Lessee may exercise its option to
purchase Lessee's Parcel by giving Lessor a written notice (at the address of
Lessor herein provided and in the manner herein provided with respect to notices
generally) at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of closing and in no event
later than the last day of the term of this Lease. Following exercise of said
option, this Lease shall continue in effect until the purchase is closed, at
which time this Lease shall terminate if the Lenders' consent has been obtained
pursuant to Section 18.1 hereof, provided that in such event all easements

<PAGE>
Reciprocal Easement Agreement shall continue in accordance with the terms and

(60) days after Lessor's receipt of Lessee's notice exercising said option. As
a condition precedent to the obligation of Lessor to close the sale and
conveyance of Lessee's Parcel to Lessee, Lessee shall provide to Lessor the
following documentation:
(a) Lessor shall have received from Lessee a copy of a subdivision plat
(the "Lessee's Plat") covering only Parcel 1 of the Premises and
-------------------
excluding Parcel 2 thereof (herein called "Lessee's Parcel"), showing
---------------
recording data, evidencing final plat approval by the City of Austin,
and involving no deviation from the description of Parcel 1 of the
Premises set forth in Exhibit A (except as otherwise provided below);
---------
and
(b) Lessor shall have received from Lessee a copy of a subdivision plat
("Lessor's Plat") covering Lessor's Adjoining Land, showing recording
---------------
data, evidencing final plat approval by the City of Austin, and
involving no deviations from the description of Lessor's Adjoining
Land set forth in Exhibit B (except as otherwise provided below).
---------
In the event that Lessee's Plat encompasses a tract of land which deviates
in any respect from the tract of land described in Exhibit A as Parcel 1, or in
---------
the event that Lessor's Plat encompasses a tract of land that deviates in any
respect from the tract of land described in Exhibit B, Lessee shall provide
---------
Lessor, in addition to the items required in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above and
as a condition to Lessor's execution and delivery of any deed hereunder, a
certificate from Gray Jansing & Associates, Inc., or other engineer or
consultant approved by Lessor and the Lenders (which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld) ("Lessor's Engineer"), stating that (i) all of the "FAB
----------------- ---
25 Facilities" (herein defined) are located entirely on Lessor's Adjoining Land;
- -------------
(ii) the facilities located on Lessor's Adjoining Land, in the opinion of the
Engineer, will be sufficient from a civil engineering perspective to operate the
FAB 25 Facilities; and (iii) all deviations do not result in a net decrease in
the area contained in Lessor's Adjoining Land by more than .50 acres. For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the term "FAB 25 Facilities" shall mean the
buildings that house the integrated circuit manufacturing (i.e., wafer
fabrication) facility known as "FAB 25" and all related support buildings,
structures and plants, including, without limitation, the nitrogen plant, the
industrial waste neutralization plant, the reverse osmosis de-ionized water
production plant, and the electric substation. Notwithstanding any provision
contained in this Lease to the contrary, Lessor shall have no obligation to
convey to Lessee the Lessee's Parcel if any portion of the buildings and
structures comprising the FAB 25 Facilities is located on the Lessee's Parcel.

interference of LLC's operations on the Premises as possible, and that in

Adjoining Land, running with the land, and title thereto shall pass to and
vest in each successor to AMD as the owner of AMD's Adjoining Land, and if
the Lease shall terminate, expire or be cancelled, the AMD Easements shall
nevertheless survive and continue as a burden to the lands described in
Exhibit A binding upon the owner of such lands and such owner's successors
---------
and assigns, and as an appurtenance to the land described in Exhibit B,
---------
vesting in and inuring to the benefit of the owner of such lands and such
owner's successors and assigns.
(3) LLC shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to
change and modify the locations of the AMD Easements, at LLC's expense and
without the consent or joinder of any person or entity, including, without
limitation, AMD; provided, however, it is expressly understood, stipulated
and agreed that (i) LLC shall minimize disruption of AMD's use of any
relevant utility or manufacturing process services provided to AMD's
Adjoining Land to the maximum extent possible, and (ii) LLC shall give AMD
written notice of the change and a copy of a survey map showing the
relocation, and (iii) LLC shall pay for all costs of such relocation.
(4) The construction of any improvements in the AMD Easement area
shall be performed in accordance with plans and specifications which have
been approved by LLC in writing in advance. Upon the completion of any
such construction activities, AMD shall furnish LLC with (i) a set of as-

ten (10) days prior written notice of AMD's intention to enter the Premises
for the purpose of excavation or any other activity which would disturb the
surface of the ground thereof.
(8) No mechanics liens for work performed by AMD in the AMD
Easement area or on the Premises shall affix to or otherwise be binding
upon the LLC, the AMD Easement area or the Premises. AMD shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold LLC harmless from and against any loss, cost
(including attorneys fees), liability, claim or damage suffered, commenced

17
<PAGE>
result of the filing or other attachment of a mechanics lien against the
AMD Easement area or the Premises and from any claim against LLC for
payment which lien or claim for payment arises from any work performed
within the AMD Easement area or otherwise related to work performed by or
for AMD. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of the filing
or other attachment of a mechanics lien as aforesaid, AMD shall, within ten
(10) days after notice of the existence of such lien, post a bond or take
such other action as is necessary to have such lien removed and terminated.
(9) AMD shall take whatever actions are necessary to keep and
maintain any improvements made by AMD in the AMD Easement area
("AMD Improvements") in good working order and condition and free of leaks
----------------
and shall promptly undertake any work necessary to restore the AMD
Improvements to that condition following notice or knowledge of the need
for such work. AMD shall also take whatever actions are necessary for
such AMD Improvements to comply with any governmental laws, ordinances and

authority with respect to such AMD Improvements. All costs and expenses of
operating, maintaining, repairing, removing, restoring or replacing such
AMD Improvements and of complying with any laws, ordinances, regulations
and rules, as aforesaid, shall be borne solely by AMD. In the event of the
failure of AMD to perform any of its obligations under this Section, LLC
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such failure
following notice to AMD and affording AMD a reasonable opportunity to cure
such failure. After exercise of this right by LLC the AMD shall pay to LLC,
upon demand, the cost of work performed, materials purchased and expenses
incurred or paid by LLC in curing such AMD's failure, with interest at ten
percent (10%) per annum from the date of disbursement by LLC until paid by
AMD.
(k) Non-Merger/Survival of AMD Easements. AMD and LLC covenant and agree
------------------------------------
that neither the termination, expiration nor cancellation of the Lease nor the
execution and delivery of a sublease of the Premises by LLC to AMD shall effect
any termination of this Agreement or of the AMD Easements, but same shall remain
in full force and effect for the benefit of and as appurtenant to the lands
described in Exhibit B, and shall not merge with any estate of the owner or
---------
owners of the lands described in Exhibit A burdened by the AMD Easements.
---------
Without limiting the foregoing, any subsequent owner or owners of AMD's
Adjoining Land shall have the right, upon request, to receive from the owner or
owners of the lands described in Exhibit A, a written ratification and
---------
confirmation in recordable form that the AMD Easements are and remain
appurtenant to the lands described in Exhibit B, running with the fee simple
---------
title thereto, without regard to the existence of the leasehold estate created
by the Lease or any subleasehold estate created by a sublease of the Premises by
LLC to AMD. The AMD Easements may be cancelled only by a written release and
cancellation filed of record in Travis County, Texas, expressly declaring the
intention of the owner or owners of the lands described in Exhibit B to release
---------
and cancel such appurtenant easements, and subject to any required consent of
the Lenders as provided for in Section 5.1 hereof.
2.4 Additional Agreements. AMD and LLC recognize that for LLC to use the
---------------------
LLC Easements, and for AMD to use the AMD Easements, for the purposes intended,
the other party must cooperate and provide certain support services. For
example, each
18
<PAGE>
of the LLC Potable Water Supply Easement and the AMD Potable Water Supply
Easement contains components that are interconnected and include various pumps,
meters, valves and other equipment necessary for the entire potable water system
to function, some of which may require electric power to operate. In addition
to the foregoing example of the potable water system within the Potable Water
Easements, the systems within the easements herein granted to each party for
fire protection, water storage and distribution, natural gas distribution,
wastewater distribution, drainage and detention, and electric service, require
that each party maintains and operates components located on its property for
such systems to function. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, AMD
and LLC agree to take such reasonable action, to bear such reasonable expense
without expectation of reimbursement, and to use such reasonable diligence to
maintain and operate the components of these systems within its control as may
be required to enable such systems to function for their intended purposes.
Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
neither AMD nor LLC shall have any obligation to keep any system in place or to
provide services associated therewith to the other unless the discontinuance of
such services would cause the properties or operations of the other to violate
applicable law, but either may, in its sole discretion, remove, modify or
relocate any such systems on its property.
2.5 Permitted Encroachment. If any existing building or other structure
----------------------
encroaches upon any AMD Easements or upon any LLC Easements, any such existing
encroachment shall be deemed to be permitted hereunder provided that such
encroachment does not unreasonably interfere with the use of such easement for
the purposes herein granted.
III.

3.1 Term. The term of this Reciprocal Easement Agreement shall be

of the County Clerk of Travis County, Texas, a written document which terminates
such easement.

THE CREDITS
-----------
2.01 Amounts and Terms of Commitments. (a) The Term Credit. Each Bank
-------------------------------- ---------------
severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to
the Company (each such loan, a "Term Loan") from time to time on any Business
---------
Day during the period from the Loan Availability Date through the date that is
six months after the Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank's name on Schedule 2.01 under the
-------------
heading "Term Commitment" (such amount, as the same may be reduced under Section
2.05 or reduced or increased as a result of one or more assignments under
Section 10.08, such Bank's "Term Commitment"). Amounts borrowed as Term Loans
---------------
which are repaid or prepaid by the Company may not be reborrowed.
(b) The Revolving Credit. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms
--------------------
and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to the Company (each such loan, a
Revolving Loan") from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
- ---------------
the Loan Availability Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth
opposite such Bank's name on Schedule 2.01 under the heading "Revolving
-------------
Commitment" (such amount as the same may be reduced under Section 2.05 or
reduced or increased as a result of one or more assignments under Section 10.08,
such Bank's "Revolving Commitment"); provided, however, that, after giving
-------------------- -------- -------
effect to any Borrowing, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Revolving Loans:
(i) shall not at any time exceed the combined Revolving
Commitments;
26
<PAGE>
(ii) together with the aggregate principal amount of all Term
Loans outstanding at such time, shall not at any time exceed the combined
Commitments; and
(iii) shall not at any time exceed the Borrowing Base.
Within the limits of each Bank's Revolving Commitment, and subject to
the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this
subsection 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.06 and reborrow under this subsection
2.01(b).
2.02 Loan Accounts. (a) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced
-------------
by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary
course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Agent and
each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans
made by the Banks to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Loans.
(b) Upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent, the Loans
made by such Bank may be evidenced by one or more Notes, instead of or in
addition to loan accounts. Each such Bank shall endorse on the schedules annexed
to its Note(s) the date and amount of each Loan made by it and the amount of
each payment of principal made by the Company with respect thereto. Each such
Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Company to endorse its Note(s) and each
Bank's record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the failure of a Bank to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with
respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Company hereunder or under any such Note to such Bank.
2.03 Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the
-----------------------
Company's irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a
Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 9:00
a.m. (San Francisco time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) one Business Day
prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or prior to 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco
time) on the requested Borrowing Date), in the case of Base Rate Loans,
specifying:
(A) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $10,000,000 for Revolving Loans and $25,000,000 for
Term Loans, or any integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof;
(B) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business
Day;
27
<PAGE>
(C) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and
(D) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such
Loans included in such notice, subject to the provisions of the
definition of "Interest Period" herein. If the Notice of Borrowing
fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing
comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be three
months.
provided, however, that with respect to any Borrowing to be made on the Loan
- -------- -------
Availability Date, the Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent not
later than 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) one Business Day before the Loan
Availability Date and such Borrowing will consist of Base Rate Loans only.
(b) The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of any
Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Bank's Pro Rata Share of that
Borrowing.
(c) Each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each
Borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Company at the Agent's
Payment Office by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Borrowing Date
requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Agent. The
proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to the Company by the
Agent at such office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of
BofA with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Banks
and in like funds as received by the Agent.
(d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Agent shall
otherwise consent, there may not be more than six different Interest Periods in
effect.
2.04 Conversion and Continuation Elections. (a) The Company may, upon
-------------------------------------
irrevocable written notice to the Agent in accordance with subsection 2.04(b):
(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case
of any Offshore Rate Loans, to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof
in an amount not less than $10,000,000 or that is in an integral multiple of
$5,000,000 in excess thereof) into Loans of any other Type; or
(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
to continue any Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any
part thereof in an amount not less than $10,000,000, or that is in an
integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof);
28
<PAGE>
provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Offshore Rate Loans in
- --------
respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of
part thereof to be less than $10,000,000, such Offshore Rate Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right
of the Company to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore
Rate Loans shall terminate.
(b) The Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to
be received by the Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at least
(i) three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the
Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) one
Business Day in advance of the Conversion/ Continuation Date, if the Loans are
to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:
(A) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;
(B) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;
(C) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or
continuation; and
(D) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans,
the duration of the requested Interest Period, subject to the
provisions of the definition of "Interest Period" herein.
(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
Offshore Rate Loans, the Company has failed to select timely a new Interest
Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event
of Default then exists, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration
date of such Interest Period.
(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the
Company, the Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any
automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with
respect to which the notice was given held by each Bank.
(e) Unless the Majority Banks otherwise consent, during the existence
of a Default or Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have a Loan
converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.
(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans,
unless the Agent shall otherwise consent,
29
<PAGE>
there may not be more than six different Interest Periods in effect.
2.05 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may,
-------------------------------------------------
upon not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Agent, terminate the
Term and Revolving Commitments, or permanently reduce the Term and Revolving
Commitments, in each case by an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 or any
multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; unless, after giving effect thereto
------
and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then-
outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the amount of the
combined Commitments then in effect or the then outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loans would exceed the amount of the combined Revolving
Commitments then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the
Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be
applied to each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share. All accrued commitment
fees to, but not including the effective date of any reduction or termination of
Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or
termination.
2.06 Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 3.04, the Company may, at
--------------------
any time or from time to time, upon not less than five Business Days'
irrevocable notice to the Agent in the case of Offshore Rate Loans, and upon not
less than one Business Day's irrevocable notice to the Agent in the case of Base
Rate Loans, ratably prepay Loans in whole or in part, in minimum amounts of
$10,000,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; provided,
--------
however, that, in the case of Base Rate Loans, if such notice of prepayment is
- -------
received by the Agent prior to 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on a Business Day,
prepayment may occur on such Business Day if so specified in such notice. Such
notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment,
whether such prepayment is of Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or a combination
thereof), and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Agent will promptly
notify each Bank of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Bank's Pro Rata
Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest
to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.04. Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied in inverse
order of maturity.
2.07 Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans; Mandatory Term Commitment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Reductions. (a) Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans. If at any time the
- ---------- ----------------------------------------
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans shall exceed the
limits thereon set forth in subsection 2.01(b)(iii), the Company, upon becoming
aware of such excess, shall immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loans, in an amount equal to such excess.
30
<PAGE>
(b) Mandatory Reduction of Term Commitments. If on the date six
---------------------------------------
months after the Loan Availability Date the aggregate Term Commitments shall
exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans made as of such date,
such unused portion of the Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on
such date.
(c) Mandatory Prepayment of the Loans. Upon the occurrence of any
---------------------------------
event or circumstance (including any Event of Loss with respect to the
Collateral) which results in a required prepayment or redemption of any Senior
Secured Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Note Documents
(a "Prepayment Event"), the Company shall be required to prepay Loans hereunder
----------------
on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
amounts of the Senior Secured Notes and the Loans pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Company shall promptly notify the Agent and the
Banks of the occurrence of any Prepayment Event and the amount of any prepayment
to be made hereunder. If such notice is given, the Company shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to each
such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts required pursuant to Section
3.04. Any such prepayment shall be applied first to the outstanding Term Loans
-----
and second to the outstanding Revolving Loans. Each mandatory prepayment of Term
------
Loans shall be applied to the principal installments of the Term Loans in
inverse order of maturity. Additionally, any such prepayment made on a day
other than an Interest Payment Date for any Loan shall be applied first to any
Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Offshore Rate Loans with the
shortest Interest Periods remaining. The Revolving Commitments shall
automatically reduce by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Loans prepaid. If the amount required to be paid pursuant to this
subsection 2.07(c) after all of the Term Loans shall have been repaid shall
exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, such
automatic reduction shall nonetheless occur and shall be determined on the basis
of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans that would be required to be prepaid
assuming the Revolving Commitments were fully utilized.
2.08 Repayment. (a) The Term Credit. The Company shall repay to the
--------- ---------------
Banks the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made hereunder in eight
equal successive quarterly installments beginning on the date that is three
months after the second anniversary of the Loan Availability Date and every
three months thereafter (each such quarterly payment date a "Principal Payment
-----------------
Date"); provided, however, that the aggregate principal balance then outstanding
- ---- -------- -------
in respect of the Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date shall be due and payable
on the Term Maturity Date.
(b) The Revolving Credit. The Company shall repay to the Banks on
--------------------
the Revolving Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans
outstanding on such date.
31
<PAGE>
2.09 Interest. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
--------
principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum
equal to the Offshore Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be (and subject to
the Company's right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.04), plus
----
the Applicable Margin.
(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of
Loans under Section 2.06 or 2.07 for the portion of the Loans so prepaid and
upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof and, during the existence of
any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the
request or with the consent of the Majority Banks.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, if any amount of
principal of or interest on any Loan, or any other amount payable hereunder or
under any other Loan Document is not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise), the Company agrees to pay
interest on such unpaid principal or other amount, from the date such amount
becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, and after as well as
before any entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law, payable on
demand, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%.
----
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations
of the Company to any Bank hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is
computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for
or receiving such payment by such Bank would be contrary to the provisions of
any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest that may
be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank, and in such event
the Company shall pay such Bank interest at the highest rate permitted by
applicable law.
2.10 Fees. (a) Arrangement and Agency Fees. The Company shall pay fees
---- ---------------------------
to the Arranger and the Agent as required by the letter agreement between the
Company and the Arranger and Agent dated July 12, 1996. The Company shall pay
fees to BofA, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent as required by
the letter agreement between the Company and BofA, the Documentation Agent and
the Syndication Agent dated July 16, 1996 (such letter agreements, the "Fee
---
Letters").
- -------
(b) Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the
---------------
account of each Bank a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of
such Bank's Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that
quarter as calculated by the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Fee Amount. Such commitment fee shall accrue from
32
<PAGE>
the Effective Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter commencing
on September 30, 1996, through the Revolving Termination Date, with the final
payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date; provided that, in
--------
connection with any termination of Commitments under Section 2.05 or Section
2.07, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date
shall also be paid on the date of such termination. The commitment fees provided
in this subsection shall accrue at all times after the Effective Date, including
at any time during which one or more conditions in Article IV are not met.
2.11 Computation of Fees and Interest. (a) All computations of interest
--------------------------------
for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BofA's "reference rate"
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more
interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest
and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are
computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of manifest
error. The Agent will, at the request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to
the Company or the Bank, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations
used by the Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest
rate.
2.12 Payments by the Company. (a) All payments to be made by the Company
-----------------------
shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to the
Agent for the account of the Banks at the Agent's Payment Office, and shall be
made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 10:00 a.m.
(San Francisco time) on the date specified herein. The Agent will promptly
distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as
expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any
payment received by the Agent later than 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) shall
be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as
the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment
-------- -------
of interest on or principal of an Offshore Rate Loan to be made in the next
following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.
33
<PAGE>
(c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Company will not make
such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Company
has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available
funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Company has not made such
payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent on demand such
amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal
Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date repaid.
(d) If the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Amount is increased or
reduced with respect to any period for which the Company has already paid
interest or a commitment fee, the Agent shall recalculate the additional
interest or commitment fee due from or to the Company and shall, within 15
Business Days, give the Company and the Banks notice of such recalculation. Any
additional interest or commitment fee due from the Company shall be paid to the
Agent for the account of the Banks within two days of receipt of the foregoing
notice, and any interest or commitment fee refund due from the Banks shall be
paid to the Company (through the Agent) within two Business Days of the receipt
of the foregoing notice.
2.13 Payments by the Banks to the Agent. (a) Unless the Agent receives
----------------------------------
notice from a Bank on or prior to the Loan Availability Date or, with respect to
any Borrowing after the Loan Availability Date, at least one Business Day prior
to the date of such Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available as and
when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Company the amount
of that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each
Bank has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds
on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its
full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent
in such circumstances has made available to the Company such amount, that Bank
shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount
available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for
each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Bank with
respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent
shall constitute such Bank's Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of
this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the
Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Company of
such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Company shall pay such
amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with
34
<PAGE>
interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a
rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
comprising such Borrowing.
(b) The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date
shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on
such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.
2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided
------------------------
elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such participations in the
Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share
the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or
-------- -------
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing
Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall
repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an
amount equal to such paying Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the
Company in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which
shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of
participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the
Banks following any such purchases or repayments.
2.15 Security. All obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the
--------
Notes and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the terms
of the Collateral Documents.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
--------------------------------------
3.01 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Company to each Bank or the
-----
Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, the
Company shall pay all Other Taxes.
35
<PAGE>
(b) If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Bank or the Agent, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that,
after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions
and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section),
such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount
equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions
or withholdings been made;
(ii) the Company shall make such deductions and withholdings;
(iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law; and
(iv) the Company shall also pay to each Bank or the Agent for the
account of such Bank, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the
amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the
after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or
Further Taxes had not been imposed.
(c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and
the Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further
Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve
the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or
Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties,
interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30
days after the date the Bank or the Agent makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of
Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, the Company shall furnish to each Bank or
the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Bank or the Agent.
(e) If the Company is required to pay any amount to any Bank or the
Agent pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, then such Bank shall
use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such
additional payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue, if
36
<PAGE>
such change in the sole judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous
to such Bank.
3.02 Illegality. (a) If any Bank determines that the introduction of any
----------
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make
Offshore Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to the Company through
the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be
suspended until the Bank notifies the Agent and the Company that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
(b) If a Bank determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Offshore
Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand
from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Offshore Rate
Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and
amounts required under Section 3.04, either on the last day of the Interest
Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Offshore Rate Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay any
Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company shall
borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate
Loan.
3.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Bank determines
---------------------------------------
that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change
by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the
calculation of the Offshore Rate) or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Bank with any guideline or request
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing
to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans, then the
Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a
copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account
of such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for
such increased costs.
(b) If any Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by
the Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any
37
<PAGE>
corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank's or
such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is
increased as a consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations
under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank to the Company through the
Agent, the Company shall pay to the Bank, from time to time as specified by the
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increase.
3.04 Funding Losses. The Company shall reimburse each Bank and hold each
--------------
Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a
consequence of:
(a) the failure of the Company to make on a timely basis any payment
of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan;
(b) the failure of the Company to borrow, continue or convert a Loan
after the Company has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing
or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;
(c) the failure of the Company to make any prepayment in accordance
with any notice delivered under Section 2.06;
(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.07) or other
payment (including after acceleration thereof) of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day
that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or
(e) the automatic conversion under Section 2.04 of any Offshore Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant
Interest Period;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by it to maintain its Offshore Rate Loans or from fees payable
to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for
purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to the Banks under this
Section and under subsection 3.03(a), each Offshore Rate Loan made by a Bank
(and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be
conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the
Offshore Rate for such Offshore Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other
borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan is in fact so funded.
3.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Banks determine that
----------------------------
for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Offshore Rate Loan or that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to subsection
2.09(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
38
<PAGE>
Offshore Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks
of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each
Bank. Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Offshore Rate
Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent upon the instruction of the
Majority Banks revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
then submitted by it. If the Company does not revoke such Notice, the Banks
shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such
Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of
Offshore Rate Loans.
3.06 Reserves on Offshore Rate Loans. The Company shall pay to each Bank,
-------------------------------
as long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the FRB to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including
Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"),
additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each Offshore Rate Loan equal
to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by the Bank (as
determined by the Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive),
payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the
Company shall have received at least 15 days' prior written notice (with a copy
to the Agent) of such additional interest from the Bank. If a Bank fails to
give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall be payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
3.07 Certificates of Banks. Any Bank claiming reimbursement or
---------------------
compensation under this Article III shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to
the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable
to the Bank hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
the Company in the absence of manifest error.
3.08 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Company in this
--------
Article III shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall
be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions

Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate
and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Majority Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each Bank that has executed this Agreement
shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document or other matter sent (or made available) by the Agent to
such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to
such Bank, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from such Bank
prior to the Effective Date or the Loan Availability Date, as applicable,
specifying its objection thereto and such objection shall not have been
withdrawn by notice to the Agent to that effect on or prior to the Effective
Date or Loan Availability Date, as applicable.
9.05 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
-----------------
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with
respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to
be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent shall have
received written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of default". The Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such
notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as may be requested by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article
VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such
-------- -------
request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.
73
<PAGE>
9.06 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that none of the
---------------
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, the value of and title to any Collateral, and all
applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend
credit to the Company hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly herein required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent, the Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come
into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
9.07 Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions
------------------------
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), in
accordance with the Banks' Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the
-------- -------
payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the
Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of
all
74
<PAGE>
Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
9.08 Agent in Individual Capacity. BofA and its Affiliates may make
----------------------------
loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though BofA were not the Agent hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant
to such activities, BofA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the
Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and
acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such
information to them. With respect to its Loans, BofA shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Bank" and "Banks" include BofA in
its individual capacity.
9.09 Successor Agent. The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority
---------------
Banks shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Banks. If the Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the
Banks a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior
to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint,
after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a successor agent from among
the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder,
such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the
retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date
which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the
retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for
above.
9.10 Withholding Tax. (a) If any Bank is a "foreign corporation,
---------------
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Bank claims
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or
1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to
the Agent:
(i) if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax
75
<PAGE>
treaty, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form 1001 before
the payment of any interest or fees in the first calendar year and before
the payment of any interest or fees in each third succeeding calendar year
during which interest or fees may be paid under this Agreement;
(ii) if such Bank claims that interest paid under this Agreement
is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively
connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank, two properly
completed and executed copies of IRS Form 4224 before the payment of any
interest or fees is due in the first taxable year of such Bank and in each
succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which interest or fees may be
paid under this Agreement; and
(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code
or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or
reduction of, United States withholding tax.
Such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction.
(b) If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form 1001 and such Bank
sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of
the Obligations of the Company to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the
Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of
Obligations of the Company to such Bank. To the extent of such percentage
amount, the Agent will treat such Bank's IRS Form 1001 as no longer valid.
(c) If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax
by filing IRS Form 4224 with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation
in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Company to such
Bank, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the
withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.
(d) If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank
an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account
such reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by
subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or
other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax
imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.
76
<PAGE>
(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such
Bank failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other
reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and
interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Banks under this subsection
shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement
of the Agent.
9.11 Collateral Matters. (a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all
------------------
the Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the
Banks, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or
the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
perfected the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral
Documents or protect and preserve the Agent's ability to enforce the Liens or
realize upon the Collateral.
(b) The Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in
its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent or the
Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and
payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the Agent and
payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting
property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any
disposition permitted hereunder or under any Collateral Document; (iii)
constituting property in which the Company or any Subsidiary owned no interest
at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting
property leased to the Company or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired
or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about
to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Company or such
Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended; (v) consisting of an instrument
evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced
thereby has been paid in full; (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Majority Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be, as provided
in subsection 10.01(f); or (vii) constituting the property described in the
Mortgage with respect to that portion of the Austin Facility which pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage is to be released from the Lien of such Mortgage
following certain re-mapping and subdivision of the Austin Facility. Upon
request by the Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Agent's
authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
subsection 9.11(b), provided that the absence of any such
--------
77
<PAGE>
confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the Agent's rights under this
Section 9.11.
(c) Each of the Banks authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver,
and act in accordance with the terms of, the Intercreditor Agreement. With the
consent of the Majority Banks, the Agent may (i) take any action under the
Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) provide any instructions, directions, consents or
certificates to the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)
under the Intercreditor Agreement, or (iii) consent to any amendments of or
modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that the Agent
-------- -------
shall not instruct or direct the Collateral Agent to release the Liens on the
Collateral except as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 9.11(b) of this
Agreement. Upon the request of the Agent at any time, the Banks shall confirm
in writing the Agent's authority to act under the Intercreditor Agreement
pursuant to this subsection 9.11(c); provided, however, that the absence of any
-------- -------
such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the Agent's rights under
this Section 9.11.
(d) In the event of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Company or
the Collateral, each of the Banks agrees that (i) it shall not take any action
in such Insolvency Proceeding that is inconsistent with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) it shall vote its claims in such Insolvency
Proceeding in such a way that is consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Each of the Agent and the Banks agrees that (A) the indenture
trustee for the holders of the Senior Secured Notes shall be a beneficiary of
this Section 9.11(d), (B) such trustee may enforce this Section 9.11(d) against
the Agent and the Banks, and (C) the terms of this Section 9.11(d) shall not be
amended or modified without the consent of such trustee.
(e) Each Bank agrees with and in favor of each other (which agreement
shall not be for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary) that the
Company's obligation to such Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents is not and shall not be secured by any real property collateral now or
hereafter acquired by such Bank other than the real property described in the
Mortgage.
9.12 Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent. None of the Banks identified
--------------------------------------
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement or otherwise in this
Agreement as Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other
than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing,
none of the Banks so identified as a Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent
shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each
Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks
so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not
taking action hereunder.

------------------------------
in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or

-----------------------

hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Bank and each of its respective
officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an
"Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
------------------
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the
Agent or replacement of any Bank) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated
hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection
with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation,
litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate
proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the use
of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party
thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");
-----------------------
provided, that the Company shall have no
- --------
81
<PAGE>
obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of
all other Obligations.

Indemnified Person, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges,
expenses or disbursements (including Attorney Costs and the allocated cost

arising out of any pending or threatened investigation, litigation or
proceeding, or any action taken by any Person, with respect to any

Mortgage in favor of the Agent or any Bank. No action taken by legal
counsel chosen by the Agent or any Bank in defending against any such

response action shall vitiate or any way impair the Company's obligation
and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Bank.
(ii) In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by
the Agent or any Bank (or any contractee of the Agent or any Bank) be
deemed a representation or warranty that Hazardous Materials are or are not
present in, on, or under, the site, or that there has been or shall be
compliance with any Environmental Law. Neither the Company nor any other
Person is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by
the Agent or any Bank. Neither the Agent nor any Bank owes any duty of
care to protect the Company or any other Person against, or to inform the
Company or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse
condition affecting any site or property. Neither the Agent nor any Bank
shall be obligated to disclose to the Company or any other Person any
report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site
visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any Bank.
(c) Survival; Defense. The obligations in this Section 10.05 shall
-----------------
survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnified
Person, the Company shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person's sole discretion, at the
sole cost and expense of the Company. All amounts owing under this Section
10.05 shall be paid within 30 days after demand.
10.06 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor the Banks
-------------------------------
shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Company or
any other Person or against or
82
<PAGE>
in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Company
makes a payment to the Agent or the Banks, or the Agent or the Banks exercise
their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Agent or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Agent
upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the
Agent.
10.07 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
----------------------
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Agent and each Bank.
10.08 Assignments, Participations, Etc. (a) Any Bank may, with the
--------------------------------
written consent of the Company and the Agent (which in each case shall not be
unreasonably withheld), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible
Assignees (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans,
--------
the Commitment and the other rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder;
provided, however, that (i) no written consent of the Company shall be required
- -------- -------
during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default; (ii) no written
consent of the Company or the Agent shall be required in connection with any
assignment and delegation by a Bank to an Eligible Assignee that is another Bank
or an Affiliate of such Bank; and (iii) any such assignment to an Eligible
Assignee that is not a Bank hereunder shall be equal to or greater than
$5,000,000; and provided further, however, that the Company and the Agent may
-------- ------- -------
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the
interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) such Bank and its Assignee shall
have delivered to the Company and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E (an "Assignment and
--------- --------------
Acceptance") together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; (B) a
- ----------
written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses
and related information with respect to the Assignee, in substantially the form
of the Notice of Assignment attached as Schedule 1 to the Assignment and
----------
Acceptance, shall have been given to the Company and the Agent by such Bank and
the Assignee; and (C) the assignor Bank or Assignee shall have paid to the Agent
a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
(b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank
that the Agent has received (and, if required,
83
<PAGE>
provided its consent with respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and
payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have
the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents, and (ii) this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment
of the Commitments arising therefrom, and (iii) the assignor Bank shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish
its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that the assignor Bank shall not relinquish its rights under
- -------- -------
Article III or under Sections 10.04 and 10.05 to the extent such rights relate
to the time prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance. The
Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the Commitment of the
assigning Bank pro tanto.
--- -----
(c) Within five Business Days after the Company's receipt of notice
from the Agent that it has received (and, if necessary, consented to) an
executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee (and
provided that the Company consents to such assignment in accordance with
- --------
subsection 10.08(a)), the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent any new
Notes requested by such Assignee evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and
Commitment and, if the assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and its
Commitment, replacement Notes as requested by the assignor Bank evidencing the
Loans and Commitment retained by the assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange
for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Bank, if any).
(d) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more Eligible Assignees
(a "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that
-----------
Bank and the other interests of that Bank (the "originating Bank") hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating
-------- -------

originating Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and

<PAGE>
be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; except that, if

maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as "confidential" or
"secret" by the Company and provided to it by the Company or any Subsidiary, or
by the Agent on the Company's or such Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use
any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now
or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except
to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes
available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company,
provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Company known to the Bank; provided, however, that any Bank may disclose such
-------- -------
information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any

Subsidiary is party or is deemed party

foregoing, provided that, (X) with respect to (B) and (D) above, unless such
-------- ----
notice is prohibited by applicable law, regulation or court process, the Company
shall be provided advance notice of the Bank's intention to disclose, although
failure to provide such notice shall not restrict such Bank's right to disclose
such information; and (Y), in the case of assignments, (1) the Company is
notified as to the identity of each Assignee, except upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, in which case notification shall be unnecessary, (2) the
Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a
"Transferee") any such information in such Bank's possession concerning the
----------
Company or its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to Agent or the Banks
pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to the Agent or the Banks
by the Company in connection with the Banks' credit evaluation of the Company
prior to entering into this Agreement, and (3) unless otherwise agreed by the
Company, such Transferee agrees in writing to such Bank to keep such information
confidential to the same extent required of the Banks hereunder.
10.10 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks
-------
provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by,
and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or
the account of the Company against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank,
now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Bank
shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although
such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to
notify the Company and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by
such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
-------- -------
affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, NO BANK SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF,
BANKER'S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE
COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY HELD OR MAINTAINED BY THE BANK WITHOUT
THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY BANKS.

------------------------
arrangement fee, or other fee, or any other cost or expense (including Attorney
Costs) due and payable to the Agent, BofA or the Arranger under the Loan
Documents, the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes BofA to debit any deposit
account of the Company with BofA in an amount such that the aggregate amount
debited from all such deposit accounts does not exceed such fee or other cost or
expense. If there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to cover the
amount of the fee or other cost or expense then due, such debits will be
reversed (in
86
<PAGE>
whole or in part, in BofA's sole discretion) and such amount not debited shall
be deemed to be unpaid. No such debit under this Section shall be deemed a set-
off.

-----------------------------------------------
notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to
the Bank should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment

constitute but one and the same instrument.

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF COMPANY'S COUNSEL
------------------------------------------
________, 1996
To each of the Banks party to the Credit Agreement referred to below, and to
Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as Agent
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for ______________________ (the "Company"),
-------
in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of ____________, 199_ (the
"Credit Agreement"), among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto
----------------
(the "Banks")[, the Co-Agents party thereto,] and Bank of America National Trust
-----
and Savings Association, as Agent (the "Agent").
-----
This opinion is provided to the Agent and the Banks as required
pursuant to subsection 4.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined executed
copies of the Credit Agreement and the
___________ [LIST OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REVIEWED] (the "Loan Documents");
--------------
certificates of public officials from the State of _______________; the
certificate or articles of incorporation, as the case may be, and by-laws of the
Company, as amended to date; records of proceedings of the Board of Directors of
the Company during or by which resolutions were adopted relating to matters
covered by this opinion; and certificates of officers of the Company as to
certain factual matters.
In addition, we have made such other investigations and reviewed such
other documents as we have deemed necessary to enable us to express the opinions
hereinafter set forth. In the course of this examination we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures of persons signing the Loan Documents on behalf of
parties thereto other than the Company, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents
of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.
Based upon the foregoing, and further subject to the assumptions,
qualifications and exceptions set forth below, we
D-1
<PAGE>
hereby advise you that in our opinion [MODIFY OPINION BELOW, AS APPROPRIATE, TO
INCLUDE ANY GUARANTORS]:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of ______________ with the
corporate power and authority to own and operate (or lease, as the case may be)
its properties and to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The Company
is qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction
where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification.
2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into
and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and has taken all
necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents.
3. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or
filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority, or approval or consent
of any other Person, is required for the due execution, delivery or performance
by, or enforcement against, the Company of the Loan Documents.
4. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Loan
Documents will not (i) violate or be in conflict with any provision of the
certificate or articles of incorporation, as the case may be, or by-laws of the
Company, (ii) violate or be in conflict with any law or regulation having
applicability to the Company, (iii) violate or contravene any judgment, decree,
injunction, writ or order of any court, or any arbitrator or other Governmental
Authority, having jurisdiction over the Company or the Company's properties or
by which the Company may be bound, or (iv) violate or conflict with, or
constitute a default under or result in the termination of, or accelerate the
performance required by, any indenture, any loan or credit agreement, or any
other agreement for borrowed money or any other [material] agreement, lease or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or the Company's
properties may be bound, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
assets or properties of the Company.
6. Except as specifically disclosed in __________________________,
there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending, or to the
best of our knowledge, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in
arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against the
D-2
<PAGE>
Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties which (i)
purport to affect or pertain to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; or (ii) if determined adversely
to the Company or its Subsidiaries, would be likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
7. The extension of credit under the Credit Agreement does not
violate the provisions of Regulations G, T, U or X of the FRB.
8. The Company is not an "investment company," or a company
"controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
[CONSIDER INCLUDING SOME OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IF COMPANY IS LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK, AS THE CASE MAY BE:]
9. Notwithstanding our assumption below that for purposes of this
opinion _______________ and federal law govern the terms of the Loan Documents,
the choice of [California] [New York] law to govern the Loan Documents is a
valid and effective choice of law under the laws of the State of
_______________.
10. If a final, conclusive and enforceable judgment for the recovery
of a sum of money against the Company were obtained in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the State of [California] [New York] in a proceeding arising out
of or relating to any Loan Document, such judgment would be conclusive between
the parties and enforceable by an action upon such judgment in an
_______________ court, or a Federal court sitting in _______________, without
further consideration as to the merits of the claim upon which such judgment is
based.
11. Assuming for purposes of this opinion that the Loan Documents are
governed by _______________ law, the Loan Documents would not violate the usury
laws of the State of ___________. [NOTE: THIS OPINION POINT TO BE INCLUDED
ONLY IF IT IS A CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK LAW OPINION.]
[CONSIDER OTHER OPINIONS BASED ON TYPE OF TRANSACTION.]
Our opinion set forth in paragraph 4 above [(i)] is subject to the
qualification that the enforceability of the Loan Documents may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equity
principles[; and (ii) is based upon the assumption that the internal law of the
State of _______________ and federal law would govern the provisions of the Loan
Documents].

[COUNSEL MAY INSERT OTHER USUAL AND CUSTOMARY EXCEPTIONS AND
QUALIFICATIONS ACCEPTABLE TO THE AGENT, THE BANKS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL.]
We express no opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of
the State of _______________ and the federal law of the United States.
This letter has been furnished to you at the request of the Company
pursuant to subsection 4.01(d) of the Credit Agreement for your use in
connection with the Credit Agreement, and may not be relied upon by you or any
other person for any other purpose without our consent; provided the Agent and
--------
each Bank may deliver a copy to its legal counsel in connection with the Credit
Agreement, to any prospective Assignee or Participant of any Bank and to any
successor Agent, and such legal counsel, any Assignee or Participant and any
successor Agent shall be entitled to rely hereon.

the meanings given to them in the Guaranty.
2. Amendment. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein,
---------
the Guaranty shall be amended as follows:

"Senior Secured Notes" means the senior secured notes to be issued by

the Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 pursuant to

it would otherwise have under California law or the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Guarantor waives any right to receive notice of any judicial
or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any real property, and the failure of
Guarantor to receive such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantor's
liability hereunder.
(b) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by Lessor, even though that election of remedies, such

obligation, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against Lessee or any other principal by operation of (S)
580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
-2-
<PAGE>
(c) Guarantor acknowledges that it has, in this Guaranty, waived any

inclusive, and (S)(S) 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code,
including, without limitation, (a) any defenses Guarantor may have to its
guaranty obligations by reason of an election of remedies by Lessor and (b)
any rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded
to Lessee or any other principal with respect to the obligation so
guaranteed pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of
California limiting or discharging Lessee's indebtedness, including,
without limitation, (S)(S) 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure.
(d) Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth
in this Guaranty is made with full knowledge of its significance and
consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable
and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of such waivers are
determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such

Agreement remain outstanding or the Bank of America Credit Agreement remains in
effect among the parties thereto.
Except as specifically provided above and except that the term "Material Adverse
Effect" as defined in the Guaranty and as amended above shall continue to be

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows (terms used but not
expressly defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Fourth Amended
Building Lease):
A. MODIFICATIONS TO BUILDING LEASE
Lessor and Lessee hereby amend the Fourth Amended Building Lease as
follows:
1. All references in the Fourth Amended Building Lease to "this Lease" or
"the Lease" will hereafter refer to the Fourth Amended Building Lease as amended
by this Fifth Amendment.
2. The definition of Land Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the
----------
following:
Land Lease: that certain Land Lease between Lessor and Lessee, dated
----------
as of September 22, 1992, and recorded on September 22, 1992, as Instrument
No. 11550953, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of December

3. Effective as of the date of this Fifth Amendment, the definition of
LIBO Rent is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
- ---------
-3-
<PAGE>
LIBO Rent: as of an Installment Date means the quotient of (1) the
---------
product of (i) the Balance Due as of the beginning of the Quarterly Period
in which such Installment Date falls (such Balance Due shall include the
amount of any Advance made on the first day of such Quarterly Period),
multiplied by (ii) the sum of 1.625% plus the rate obtained by dividing the
LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the LIBO Reserve Percentage,
multiplied by (iii) the number of actual days elapsed (including such
Installment Date) in the Quarterly Period that includes such Installment
Date, divided by (2) 360.
As used herein, "LIBO Reserve Percentage" means the maximum reserve
-----------------------
percentage applicable to Lessor for such Quarterly Period (or if more than
one such percentage is applicable during such period, the daily average of
such percentages for those days in such period during which each such
percentage is applicable) under applicable law, including, without
limitation, regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve
Board, for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without
limitation, any emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve
requirement) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including (x) eurocurrency liabilities in the amount of the above
referenced portion of the Balance Due and having a maturity substantially
the same as such Quarterly Period and (y) any other category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is to be
determined. Lessor shall submit a certificate to Lessee which shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for, calculation of and the amount of
LIBO Rent, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
4. To the extent that the amendment to the definition of "LIBO Rent"
becomes effective on any day other than the first day of any Quarterly Period
(the "LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date"), then for such Quarterly Period Basic
----------------------------------
Rent shall accrue at the LIBO Rent in effect immediately prior to the LIBO Rent
Amendment Effective Date up until the day prior to such LIBO Rent Amendment
Effective Date, and Basic Rent shall accrue for the remainder of such Quarterly
Period at the LIBO Rent in effect on such LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date
(using the percentage 1.625% set forth in the definition of LIBO Rent in Section
3 above instead of the percentage 1.00% set forth in the Fourth Amended Building
Lease, but continuing to use the same LIBO Rate as in effect prior to LIBO Rent
Amendment Effective Date).
B. AFFIRMATION OF STATUS OF BUILDING LEASE
Except as amended by this Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amended Building
Lease is unchanged; and, as amended by this Fifth
-4-
<PAGE>
Amendment, the Fourth Amended Building Lease is hereby ratified and affirmed,
and remains in full force and effect.

Exhibit C
________________, 1996
CIBC Inc.
One Post Street, Suite 3550
San Francisco, CA 94104
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Guarantor"), and AMD International Sales & Service, Ltd., a
Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Fifth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as
of August 1, 1996, among CIBC Inc. ("CIBC"), the Guarantor and the Lessee (the
"Fifth Guaranty Amendment"), the Fifth Amendment to Building Lease dated as of
August 1, 1996, between CIBC and the Lessee (the "Fifth Amended Building
Lease"), and the Fifth Amendment to Land Lease dated as of August 1, 1996,
between CIBC and the Lessee (the "Fifth Amended Land Lease"). The Fifth
Guaranty Amendment, the Fifth Amended Building Lease and the Fifth Amended Land
Lease are collectively referred to herein as the "Documents." As used herein,
the term "Guaranty" has the same definition as in the Fifth Guaranty Amendment.
We have examined executed copies of each of the Documents; certificates of
public officials from the States of Delaware, California, and various other
states of the United States; the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each
of the Guarantor and the Lessee, as amended to date; resolutions of the Board of
Directors and committees of the Guarantor and the Lessee; and certificates of
officers of the Guarantor and the Lessee as to certain factual matters. In
addition, we have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary to
enable us to express the opinions hereinafter set forth. We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures of persons signing the Documents on behalf of
parties thereto other than the Guarantor and the Lessee, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or
photostatic copies.

Page 2
As used in this opinion, the expression "to the best of our knowledge after
due inquiry" means that, after an examination of documents in our files and
documents made available to us by the Guarantor and the Lessee and after
inquiries of one or more officers of the Guarantor and the Lessee which we
believe are sufficient for the purpose of expressing the opinions contained
herein, we find no reason to believe that the opinions expressed herein are
factually incorrect; but beyond that, we have made no independent factual
investigation for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and further subject to the matters
set forth below, we hereby advise you that in our opinion:
(1) The Lessee is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation under the laws of the States of California and
Texas; has a branch office in and is qualified to do business in The
Netherlands; and is qualified in each other jurisdiction where the nature of its
business requires such qualification (except where the failure so to qualify
would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or
prospects of the Lessee).
(2) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified to
do business as a foreign corporation under the laws of the States of California
and Texas and in each other jurisdiction where the nature of its business
requires such qualification (except where the failure so to qualify would not,
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects
of the Guarantor).
(3) Each of the Lessee and the Guarantor has the corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of,
the Documents, and to own and hold under lease its properties and to conduct its
business substantially as currently conducted by it.
(4) The Documents have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Lessee and the Guarantor, as the case may be.
<PAGE>

Page 3
(5) Each of the Guaranty, the Fourth Amended Building Lease and the Fourth
Amended Land Lease, as amended by Documents, is the legal valid and binding
obligation of the Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable
against the Lessee or the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(6) No registration with, consent or approval of, notice to, or other
action by, any governmental entity is required on the part of the Lessee or the
Guarantor with respect to the Documents, or if required, such registration has
been made, such consent or approval has been obtained, such notice has been
given or such other appropriate action has been taken.
(7) The execution and delivery of the Documents and compliance with the
Guaranty, the Fourth Amended Building Lease and the Fourth Amended Land Lease,
as amended by the Documents, by the Lessee and the Guarantor will not (i)
violate or result in a breach of any of the terms or constitute default under
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement identified to us by
the Guarantor as material, including, without limitation, the Bank of America
Credit Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Note
Documents, to which the Lessee or the Guarantor is a party or by which any of
their respective properties is bound, or any order of any court, regulatory body
or administrative agency, (ii) contravene any of the Lessee's or the
Guarantor's, as the case may be, Organic Documents, (iii) contravene any
Governmental Requirement or Government Approval applicable to the Lessee or the
Guarantor, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of
the Lessee's or the Guarantor's, as the case may be, properties (except in favor
of Lessor).
As used in paragraph (7) above, the terms "Senior Secured Notes," "Senior
Secured Note Documents," "Organic Documents," "Governmental Requirement" and
"Governmental Approval" have the same definitions as in the Guaranty.
As used in paragraph (7) above, the term "Lien" has the same definition as
in the Building Lease, dated as of September 22, 1992, as amended (including the
Fifth Amended Building Lease) and as in the Land Lease, dated as of September
22, 1992, as amended (including the Fifth Amended Land Lease).
(8) Except as described in the Guarantor's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no claim,
<PAGE>
CIBC Inc.
_________, 1996
Page 4
litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation or proceeding or inquiry is
pending or threatened against either the Guarantor or the Lessee: (i) which
would, if adversely determined, have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the
Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of the
Guarantor or the Lessee to perform its respective obligations under the
Guaranty, the Fourth Amended Building Lease and the Fourth Amended Land Lease,
as amended by the Documents; or (ii) which relates to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Guaranty, the Fourth Amended Building Lease and the Fourth
Amended Land Lease, as amended by the Documents.
Our opinion regarding enforceability set forth in paragraph 5 above is
subject to the qualification that the enforceability of the Documents may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights and by general equity
principles, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.
We are members of the Bar of the State of California, and we do not express
any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of
California, the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General
Corporation Law and, in the case of paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the laws of
various other states regarding the qualification of foreign corporations to do
business within those states.
This letter has been furnished to you at the request of the Guarantor and
Lessee pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Fifth Guaranty Amendment for your use in
connection with the Documents, and may not be relied upon by you or any other
person for any other purpose without our consent; provided that, CIBC may
deliver a copy of this letter to its legal counsel, Mayer, Brown & Platt, in
connection with the Documents, and to The Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan, Los
Angeles Agency ("LTCB"), and its legal counsel, in reference to the Loan
Agreement dated as of December 17, 1993, as amended, between CIBC and LTCB, and
LTCB and such counsel shall be entitled to rely hereon.
Very truly yours,

----------
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows (terms used but not
expressly defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Fourth Amended
Building Lease):
A. MODIFICATIONS TO BUILDING LEASE
Lessor and Lessee hereby amend the Fourth Amended Building Lease as
follows:
1. All references in the Fourth Amended Building Lease to "this Lease" or
"the Lease" will hereafter refer to the Fourth Amended Building Lease as amended
by this Fifth Amendment.
2. The definition of Land Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the
----------
following:
Land Lease: that certain Land Lease between Lessor and Lessee, dated
----------
as of September 22, 1992, and recorded on September 22, 1992, as Instrument
No. 11550953, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of December
22, 1992, and recorded on January 5, 1993, as Instrument No. 11720034, in
the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, and as further
amended by a certain Second Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of December
17, 1993, and recorded on December 20, 1993, as Instrument No. 12271737, in
the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, and as further
amended by a certain Third Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of August 21,
1995, and recorded on September 20, 1995, as Instrument No. 13020000, in
the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California, and as further
amended by a certain Fourth Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of November
10, 1995, and recorded on December 7, 1995, as Instrument No. 13123501, in
the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California and as further
amended by a certain Fifth Amendment to Land Lease, dated as of August 1,
1996.
3. Effective as of the date of this Fifth Amendment, the definition of
LIBO Rent is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
- ---------
-3-
<PAGE>
LIBO Rent: as of an Installment Date means the quotient of (1) the
---------
product of (i) the Balance Due as of the beginning of the Quarterly Period
in which such Installment Date falls (such Balance Due shall include the
amount of any Advance made on the first day of such Quarterly Period),
multiplied by (ii) the sum of 1.625% plus the rate obtained by dividing the
LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the LIBO Reserve Percentage,
multiplied by (iii) the number of actual days elapsed (including such
Installment Date) in the Quarterly Period that includes such Installment
Date, divided by (2) 360.
As used herein, "LIBO Reserve Percentage" means the maximum reserve
-----------------------
percentage applicable to Lessor for such Quarterly Period (or if more than
one such percentage is applicable during such period, the daily average of
such percentages for those days in such period during which each such
percentage is applicable) under applicable law, including, without
limitation, regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve
Board, for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without
limitation, any emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve
requirement) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including (x) eurocurrency liabilities in the amount of the above
referenced portion of the Balance Due and having a maturity substantially
the same as such Quarterly Period and (y) any other category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is to be
determined. Lessor shall submit a certificate to Lessee which shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for, calculation of and the amount of
LIBO Rent, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
4. To the extent that the amendment to the definition of "LIBO Rent"
becomes effective on any day other than the first day of any Quarterly Period
(the "LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date"), then for such Quarterly Period Basic
----------------------------------
Rent shall accrue at the LIBO Rent in effect immediately prior to the LIBO Rent
Amendment Effective Date up until the day prior to such LIBO Rent Amendment
Effective Date, and Basic Rent shall accrue for the remainder of such Quarterly
Period at the LIBO Rent in effect on such LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date
(using the percentage 1.625% set forth in the definition of LIBO Rent in Section
3 above instead of the percentage 1.00% set forth in the Fourth Amended Building
Lease, but continuing to use the same LIBO Rate as in effect prior to LIBO Rent
Amendment Effective Date).
B. AFFIRMATION OF STATUS OF BUILDING LEASE
Except as amended by this Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amended Building
Lease is unchanged; and, as amended by this Fifth
-4-
<PAGE>
Amendment, the Fourth Amended Building Lease is hereby ratified and affirmed,
and remains in full force and effect.
C. AMENDMENT FEE
In consideration of this Fifth Amendment and and the Fifth Amendment to
Land Lease, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a one-time nonrefundable fee of $75,000
(the "Amendment Fee"). The Amendment Fee shall be paid by Lessee by wire
-------------
transfer to an account to be specified by Lessor.

- ------------------------------
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows (terms used but not
expressly defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Fourth Amended
Land Lease):
A. MODIFICATIONS TO LAND LEASE
Lessor and Lessee hereby amend the Fourth Amended Land Lease as follows:
1. All references in the Fourth Amended Land Lease to "this Lease" or "the
Lease" will hereafter refer to the Fourth Amended Land Lease as amended by this
Fifth Amendment.
2. The definition of Building Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with
--------------
the following:
Building Lease: that certain Building Lease entered into between
--------------
Lessor and Lessee on September 22, 1992, and recorded September 22, 1992,
as Instrument No. 11550954, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County,
California, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Building Lease,
dated as of December 22, 1992, and recorded January 5, 1993, as Instrument
No. 11720034, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County, California,
and as further amended by a certain Second Amendment to Building Lease,
dated as of December 17, 1993, and recorded on December 20, 1993, as
Instrument No. 12271738, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County,
California, and as further amended by a certain Third Amendment to Building
Lease, dated as of August 21, 1995, and recorded on September 20, 1995, as
Instrument No. 13020001, in the Official Records of Santa Clara County,
California, and as further amended by a certain Fourth Amendment to
Building Lease, dated as of November 10, 1995, and recorded on December 7,
1995, as Instrument No. 13123502, in the Official Records of Santa Clara
County, California, and as further amended by a certain Fifth Amendment to
Building Lease, dated as of August 1, 1996.
3. Effective as of the date of this Fifth Amendment, the definition of
LIBO Rent is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
- ---------
LIBO Rent: as of an Installment Date means the Balance Due as of such
---------
Installment Date multiplied by an interest rate per annum equal at all
times to the sum of (a) 1.625% plus (b) the rate obtained by dividing the
LIBO Rate (or the Corporate
-3-
<PAGE>
Base Rate if required pursuant to the terms set forth under the definition
of "LIBO Rate") by a percentage equal to 100% minus the LIBO Reserve
Percentage, dividing the sum thereof by 360 and multiplying the result
thereof by the number of actual days elapsed (including such Installment
Date) in the Quarterly Period that includes such Installment Date.
As used herein, "LIBO Reserve Percentage" means the maximum reserve
-----------------------
percentage applicable to Lessor for such Quarterly Period (or if more than
one such percentage is applicable during such period, the daily average of
such percentages for those days in such period during which each such
percentage is applicable) under applicable law, including, without
limitation, regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve
Board, for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without
limitation, any emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve
requirement) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including (x) eurocurrency liabilities in the amount of the above
referenced portion of the Balance Due and having a maturity substantially
the same as such Quarterly Period and (y) any other category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is to be
determined. Lessor shall submit a certificate to Lessee which shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for, calculation of and the amount of
LIBO Rent, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
4. To the extent that the amendment to the definition of "LIBO Rent"
becomes effective on any day other than the first day of any Quarterly
Period (the "LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date"), then for such Quarterly
----------------------------------
Period Basic Rent shall accrue at the LIBO Rent in effect immediately prior
to the LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date up until the day prior to such
LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date, and Basic Rent shall accrue for the
remainder of such Quarterly Period at the LIBO Rent in effect on such LIBO
Rent Amendment Effective Date (using the percentage 1.625% set forth in the
definition of LIBO Rent in Section 3 above instead of the percentage 1.00%
set forth in the Fourth Amended Land Lease, but continuing to use the same
LIBO Rate as in effect prior to LIBO Rent Amendment Effective Date).
B. AFFIRMATION OF STATUS OF LAND LEASE
Except as amended by this Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amended Land Lease is
unchanged; and, as amended by this Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amended Land
Lease is hereby ratified and affirmed, and remains in full force and effect.

C. AMENDMENT FEE
In consideration of this Fifth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment to
Building Lease, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a one-time nonrefundable fee of
$75,000 (the "Amendment Fee"). The Amendment Fee shall be paid by Lessee by
-------------
wire transfer to an account to be specified by Lessor.
