GENERAL
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Delaware on May 1, 1969. The Company's mailing address and executive offices
are located at One AMD Place, Sunnyvale, California 94086, and its telephone
number is (408) 732-2400. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "Company,"
"AMD" and "Registrant" in this report refer to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
and its subsidiaries.
AMD is a semiconductor manufacturer with manufacturing facilities in the
U.S. and Asia and sales offices throughout the world. The Company's products
include a wide variety of industry-standard integrated circuits (ICs) which
are used in many diverse product applications such as telecommunications
equipment, data and network communications equipment, consumer electronics,
personal computers (PCs) and workstations.
For a discussion of the risk factors related to the Company's business
operations please see the "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" and "Risk Factors" sections of Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition contained in the
1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.
INDUSTRY
The IC market has grown dramatically over the past ten years, driven
primarily by the demand for electronic business and consumer products. Today,
ICs are used in virtually all products involving electronics, including
personal computers and related peripherals, voice and data communications and
networking products, fax and copy machines, home entertainment equipment,
industrial control equipment and automobiles.
The market for ICs can be divided into separate markets for digital and
analog devices. AMD participates primarily in the market for digital ICs. The
three principal types of digital ICs used in most electronic systems are: (i)
memory circuits, (ii) logic circuits and (iii) microprocessors. Memory is used
to store data and programming instructions, logic is employed to manage the
interchange and manipulation of digital signals within a system, and
microprocessors are used for control and computing tasks. Set forth below is a
discussion of the principal segments of the digital IC market in which the
Company participates.
THE MEMORY MARKET
Memory ICs store data or programs and are characterized as either volatile
or non-volatile. Volatile devices lose their stored information after
electrical power is shut off, while non-volatile devices retain their stored
information. The three most significant categories of semiconductor memory are
(i) Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and (ii) Static Random Access Memory
(SRAM), both of which are volatile memories, and (iii) non-volatile memory,
which includes Read-Only Memory (ROM), Flash memory and Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory (EPROM) devices. DRAM provides large capacity "main" memory,
and
3
<PAGE>
SRAM provides specialized high speed memory. Flash and other non-volatile
memory devices are used in applications in which data must be retained after
power is turned off. The Company does not produce any DRAM products, the
largest and most commodity oriented segment of the memory market, or SRAM
products.
Several factors have contributed to an increasing demand for memory devices
during recent years including the expanding unit sales of personal computers
in the business and consumer market segments; the increasing use of personal
computers to perform memory-intensive graphics and multimedia functions; the
volume of memory required to support faster microprocessors; the proliferation
of increasingly complex personal computer software; and the increasing
performance requirements of workstations, servers and networking and
telecommunications equipment.
The Company believes that Flash memory devices will be one of the fastest
growing segments of the memory market in terms of both unit and dollar sales,
as an expanding range of applications utilize Flash memory in the computer,
telecommunications, networking, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial
control and instrumentation industries. The ability of Flash memory devices to
be electrically rewritten to update parameters or system software provides
greater flexibility and ease of use than other non-volatile memory devices,
such as ROM or EPROM devices. Flash memory can be used to provide storage of
control programs and system-critical data in communication devices such as
cellular phones and routers (devices used to transfer data between local area
networks). Another common application for Flash memory is in PC cards, which
are inserted into notebook and subnotebook computers or personal digital
assistants to provide added data storage.
THE LOGIC MARKET
Logic circuits contain interconnected groupings of simple logical circuits
commonly described as "gates." Typically, complex combinations of individual
gates are required to implement the specialized logic circuits required for
digital systems applications. While system designers use a relatively small
number of standard ICs to meet their microprocessor and memory needs, they
require a wide variety of logic circuits in order to differentiate their
products from those of their competitors.
Logic circuits are found in a wide range of today's electronic systems,
including communications equipment, computers, peripherals, instrumentation,
industrial control and military systems. The logic market encompasses, among
other segments, standard Transistor-to-Transistor Logic (TTL), custom designed
Application Specific ICs (ASICs), input/output (I/O), communications,
multimedia, networking and programmable logic devices. ASICs include
conventional gate-arrays, standard cells and full custom logic circuits. Logic
circuits are often classified by the number of gates per circuit, with TTL
circuits typically containing up to 100 gates. Conventional gate arrays and
custom logic circuits typically have up to several hundred thousand gates.
Programmable logic devices typically have up to 20,000 gates but may have
fewer gates in specialized applications.
Logic circuits are used extensively in networking and telecommunications
applications including Internet and intranet applications. Networking is a
method of connecting PCs to other PCs and closely related peripherals (e.g.,
printers), so that resources and information can be transferred and shared. In
large corporations today, most PCs are networked to improve productivity and
communication. Networking continues to spread to medium- and small-sized
companies and could eventually make inroads into the home market. The Ethernet
standard is the most commonly used method for networking workstations, network
servers, personal computers and related peripheral devices.
Telecommunications applications relate to the lines, switches, and routing
equipment required to provide connectivity among enterprises and homes that
are part of the public infrastructure. This infrastructure is owned and
operated by private companies such as AT&T and the regional Bell operating
companies in the U.S., and may be owned and operated by governments, private
companies, or some combination of these in other regions of the world. The
infrastructure for voice communications continues to expand throughout the
world, fueling demand for IC-based telecommunications line card solutions,
which convert signals from analog to digital for
4
<PAGE>
transmission, then convert signals back to analog on the receiving end. To
perform these tasks, line cards rely on integrated circuit logic products
called subscriber line interface circuits and subscriber line audio processing
circuits.
Logic devices are also used extensively with respect to I/O applications,
which involve the sending and receiving of data from the central processing
unit (CPU) of a PC to peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers, and
multimedia applications, which utilize combinations of sound, graphics,
animation and text.
Manufacturers of electronic systems are increasingly challenged to bring
differentiated products to market quickly. These competitive pressures
sometimes preclude the use of custom designed ASICs, which generally entail
significant design costs and time delay. Standard logic products, an
alternative to custom designed ASICs, limit a manufacturer's flexibility to
adequately optimize and customize an end system. Programmable logic addresses
this inherent dilemma. Programmable logic devices are standard products,
purchased by systems manufacturers in a "blank" state, which can be custom
configured into many specific logic circuits by programming the device with
electrical signals. Programmable logic devices give system designers the
ability to quickly create their own custom logic circuits to provide product
differentiation and rapid time to market. Certain programmable logic products,
including the Company's, are reprogrammable, which means that the logic
configuration can be modified, if needed, after the initial logic programming.
A recent technology development, in-system programmability, extends the
flexibility of standard programmable logic devices by allowing the system
designer to configure and reconfigure the logic functions of the programmable
logic device with a standard 3- or 5-volt power supply without removing the
programmable logic device from the system board.
Several common types of programmable logic devices currently coexist in the
marketplace, each offering customers a particular set of benefits. These
include simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs, less than 1,000 gates),
complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs, up to 20,000 gates) and field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs, up to 100,000 gates). CPLDs are generally
preferred to FPGAs for control logic applications, such as state machines, bus
arbitration, encoders/decoders and sequencers. FPGAs are generally preferred
to CPLDs for register intensive and data path logic applications, such as
interface logic and arithmetic functions. The Company believes that a
substantial portion of programmable logic device customers utilize both CPLD
and FPGA architectures together to optimize overall system performance and
improve time to market for new products.
THE MICROPROCESSOR MARKET
IBM introduced its first PC in 1981 containing a microprocessor based upon
the x86 instruction set developed by Intel Corporation (Intel) and utilizing
the Microsoft MS-DOS operating system. The so-called IBM-compatible computer
has evolved over the years with each successive generation of x86
microprocessors. Each new generation of x86 microprocessors has delivered
increased performance and functionality while maintaining software, hardware
and peripheral compatibility for industry standard operating systems such as
Microsoft MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. The microprocessor market is currently
dominated by Intel.
The microprocessor, an IC generally consisting of millions of transistors,
serves as the central processing unit, or "brain," of a computer system. The
microprocessor is typically the most critical component to the performance and
efficiency of a PC. The microprocessor is responsible for controlling data
flowing through the electronic system, manipulating such data as specified by
the hardware or software which controls the system. Microprocessors can be
divided into two broad categories: Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC)
and Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC). Compared to CISC
microprocessors, RISC microprocessors employ an architectural approach that
requires a smaller number of simplified instructions to perform the
microprocessors' internal operations. Developments in circuit design and very
large scale integration process technology have resulted in dramatic advances
in microprocessor performance over the past ten years. Today, the greatest
demand for microprocessors is from personal computer manufacturers and, in
particular, for microprocessors which are Microsoft Windows compatible and are
based on the x86 instruction set. Improvements in the performance
characteristics of microprocessors, coupled with decreases in production costs
resulting from advances in process technology, have broadened the market for
PCs and increased the demand for microprocessors.
5
<PAGE>
Embedded processors are also an important segment of the microprocessor
market. Embedded processors are general purpose devices used to carry out a
single application with limited user interface and programmability. A system
designed around an embedded processor cannot usually be programmed by an end
user because the system is preprogrammed to execute a specific task. Key
markets for embedded processors include telecommunications, networking, office
automation, storage, automotive applications and industrial control.
The microprocessor business is characterized by short product life cycles,
intense price competition and rapid advances in product design and process
technology resulting in rapidly occurring product obsolescence. The early
stages of the life cycle of each generation of microprocessors is generally
characterized by high demand, prices and margins. Historically, as the product
life cycle progresses, prices and margins decrease rapidly and production
volume rapidly increases. Toward the end of the product life cycle, as the
life cycles of one or more future generations of microprocessors are
beginning, prices and margins decline further and demand for the product
ultimately ends.
The establishment of hardware and software standards for PCs and the
emergence of numerous PC suppliers have caused the PC industry to be extremely
competitive, with short product life cycles, limited product differentiation
and substantial price competition. To compete more effectively, many PC
suppliers have evolved from fully integrated manufacturers with proprietary
system designs to vendors focused on building brand recognition and
distribution capabilities. Many of these suppliers now rely either on Intel or
on third-party manufacturers for the major subsystems of their PCs, such as
the motherboard, and increasingly are outsourcing the design and manufacture
of complete systems. The third-party suppliers of these subsystems, based
primarily in Asia, are focused on providing PCs and motherboards that
incorporate the latest trends in features and performance at low prices.
Increasingly, these third-party suppliers are also supplying fully configured
PC systems through alternative distribution channels.
BUSINESS GROUPS; PRODUCTS
AMD participates in all three segments of the digital IC market - memory
circuits, logic circuits and microprocessors - through, collectively, its
Communications and Components Group (CCG), its Computation Products Group
(CPG) and its Programmable Logic Division (Vantis).
COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPONENTS GROUP
CCG products ($1,364 million, or 70%, of the Company's 1996 net sales)
include Flash memory devices, EPROM devices, voice and data communications
products, embedded processors, I/O devices and network products.
FLASH MEMORY. Flash memory devices are used in cellular telephones,
networking equipment and other applications which require memory to be non-
volatile and to be rewritten. Their ability to be rewritten electrically
provides greater flexibility and ease of use than EPROMs and other similar
integrated circuits which cannot be rewritten electrically. Communications
companies use Flash memory devices in cellular telephones and related
equipment to enable users to program and reprogram frequently called numbers
and manufacturers to preprogram other information. In networking applications,
Flash memory devices are used in hubs and routers to enable systems to store
programmed and reprogrammed Internet addresses and other routing information.
The market for Flash memory devices has recently experienced rapid growth and
is becoming increasingly competitive as additional manufacturers introduce
competitive products and production capacity in the industry increases. A
substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from sales of Flash
memory devices.
EPROMs. EPROMs represent an older generation of erasable programmable read-
only memory technology which is used primarily in the electronic equipment
industry. The devices are used in cellular phones and base stations,
telecommunication switching equipment, automotive applications, personal
computer hard disk drives and BIOS (basic input/output system software encoded
in read-only memory which controls access to
6
<PAGE>
devices connected to a PC, such as the monitor and the serial communications
port), printer controllers, industrial machine controls and numerous other
types of electronic equipment to store software which controls the equipment's
operation. The ability of EPROMs to be programmed electrically enables
equipment manufacturers to achieve shorter time to market for new products
than otherwise would be possible if they were required to have specific
integrated circuits manufactured containing their final software programs.
EPROMs are generally preferred to more expensive Flash memory devices in
applications in which it is not necessary to enable the end user to reprogram
the information stored on the integrated circuit. The market for EPROMs is
significantly smaller than the market for Flash memory devices and the Company
believes the market will decline as EPROMs are replaced in various
applications by Flash memory devices.
COMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS. The Company's communications products are used in
public and private communications infrastructure systems. Specifically, the
products are used in such equipment as central office switches, private branch
exchange (PBX) equipment and voice/data terminals. Among the Company's more
significant products for the communications market are its logic products. In
modern telephone communications systems, voice communications are generally
transmitted between the speaker and the central office switch in analog
format, but are switched and transmitted over longer distances in digital
format. The AMD SLIC line cards connect the user's telephone wire to the
telephone company's digital switching equipment. The AMD SLAC line cards are
coder/decoders which convert analog voice signals to a digital format and
back.
EMBEDDED PROCESSORS. Embedded processors are general purpose devices,
consisting of an instruction control unit and an arithmetic and logic unit,
used to carry out a single application with limited user interface and
programmability. The Company offers a proprietary family of RISC processors,
known as its Am29000 products, which are used as embedded processors in
applications which include high-performance laser printer controllers, high-
resolution graphics controllers, communications controllers and accelerator
cards. The Company has discontinued development of new versions of its Am29000
products, but it continues to produce existing versions. The Company's current
product focus for embedded processors utilizes existing x86 microprocessor
designs which are customized for specific applications. The Company offers a
line of C186 and C188 processors for use as embedded processors in hard disk
drives. In the future, the Company expects to offer embedded processors based
upon third- and fourth-generation x86 microprocessor technology, the E86
family of processors, which are designed for use in hand-held computers and
voice and data communication devices.
NETWORK AND I/O PRODUCTS. The Company's network and I/O products are used
within personal computers to manage the connection of the personal computer to
local area networks and to manage selected input/output functions. The
Company's network products support voice and data communications and
internetworking and are used in hubs, routers and equipment used to connect
workstations and personal computers in local area network infrastructures. In
data communications, the Company is a supplier of network infrastructure ICs
for products including Ethernet hubs and switches.
The Company supplies integrated circuits for business applications utilizing
the 10-megabit-per-second and the 100-megabit-per-second Ethernet local area
network standards. The Company offers a range of integrated circuits that work
with central processing units to manage selected input/output functions such
as audio, small computer system interface disk drive controllers and
communications and networking devices. The Company also supplies a range of
products specially designed to add additional functions, improve performance
and reduce costs in computer peripheral, interface or mass storage
applications. These are generally special-purpose products which are designed
for a specific application. In the case of some large customers, these
products are tailored for specific customers' needs.
OTHER PRODUCTS. The Company also offers a wide variety of older standard
products, some of which are nearing the end of their product life cycles,
which are sold into various IC markets and require limited ongoing research
and development or capital expenditures.
7
<PAGE>
COMPUTATION PRODUCTS GROUP
CPG products ($341 million, or 17%, of 1996 net sales) include
microprocessors and the majority of CPG's net sales are derived from Microsoft
Windows compatible microprocessors which are used primarily in personal
computers.
The Company currently participates in the microprocessor market through its
fourth- and fifth-generation Microsoft Windows compatible microprocessors. In
1994 and 1995, the Company's most significant microprocessor product was the
Am486 microprocessor, a fourth-generation CISC x86 microprocessor. In 1996,
Am486 microprocessor sales decreased significantly due to average selling
price and unit volume declines. Accordingly, Am486 microprocessor revenues in
1996 were significantly below those of 1995 as the product life cycle of the
fourth-generation x86 products aged. The Company's fifth- and future
generations of microprocessor products, known as the K86 microprocessors, are
based on Superscalar RISC architecture. The K86 products are designed to be
compatible with operating system software such as Windows, UNIX, DOS and
Windows NT. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company began shipping the AMD-
K5PR75/1/ microprocessor, the first member of the K86 family, and during the
third quarter of 1996, the Company began shipping the AMD-K5PR100. The AMD-K5
is a fifth-generation, superscalar device that has been certified by Microsoft
as being fully compatible with its operating system. The Company introduced
PR133 and PR150 versions of its AMD-K5 microprocessor in the fourth quarter of
1996, and the PR166 version in January of 1997. The AMD-K5 microprocessor was
introduced relatively late in the life cycle of fifth-generation
microprocessor products and will not result in the levels of revenue for the
Company realized from the Am486 microprocessor.
The Company's ability to maintain or expand its current levels of revenues
from microprocessor products, and its ability to benefit fully from the
substantial financial commitments it has made to process technologies and
integrated circuit manufacturing facilities dedicated to the production of
microprocessors, depends primarily upon its success in developing and
marketing in a timely manner its sixth-generation microprocessor products, the
AMD-K6 processors. The AMD-K6 microprocessor has been designed as a
superscalar device to be competitive in performance to Intel Corporation's
forthcoming single chip version of its sixth-generation microprocessor, the
Pentium Pro, which is being designed by Intel specifically for desktop PCs and
is expected to be introduced in 1997. The Company intends to begin volume
shipments of the AMD-K6 products in the second quarter of 1997, although no
assurance can be given that such products will be successfully or timely
developed or that subsequent product orders or related shipments will occur. A
failure of the Company's K86 products, particularly the AMD-K6, to be timely
introduced or to achieve market acceptance, would have a material adverse
effect on the Company. AMD is also devoting substantial resources to the
development of its seventh-generation Microsoft Windows compatible
microprocessor, the AMD-K7 processor.
Intel has long held a dominant position in the market for microprocessors
used in PCs. Intel Corporation's dominant market position has allowed it to
set x86 microprocessor standards and thus dictate the type of product the
market requires of Intel Corporation's competitors. In addition, Intel
Corporation's financial strength has enabled it to reduce prices on its
microprocessor products within a short period of time following their
introduction, which reduces the margins and profitability of its competitors.
In addition to its dominant microprocessor market share, Intel also dominates
the PC platform. The Company does not have the financial resources to compete
with Intel on such a large scale.
As Intel has expanded its dominance in designing and setting standards for
PC systems, many PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have reduced their
system development expenditures and have begun to purchase microprocessors in
conjunction with chip sets or in assembled motherboards. In marketing its
microprocessors to these OEMs and dealers, AMD is dependent upon companies
other than Intel for the design
- --------
/1"PR"/refers to the performance rating assigned to the microprocessors by AMD
based upon tests conducted employing the Ziff-Davis Winstone 96 benchmark,
which compares the systems performance provided by a microprocessor to the
systems performance provided by Pentium processors of various clock speeds.
A performance rating of 166, for example, indicates that the microprocessor
has been determined to deliver systems performance equal to or greater than
that provided by a 166 Megahertz Pentium.

<PAGE>
and manufacture of core logic chip sets, motherboards, BIOS software and other
components. In recent years, these third-party designers and manufacturers
have lost market share to Intel. To compete with Intel in this market in the
future, the Company intends to continue to form closer relationships with
third-party designers and manufacturers of core logic chip sets, motherboards,
BIOS software and other components. The Company similarly intends to continue
to expand its chip set and system design capabilities, and offer to OEMs a
portion of the Company's processors together with chip sets and licensed
system designs incorporating the Company's processors and companion products.
There can be no assurance, however, that such efforts by the Company will be
successful.
VANTIS
Vantis products ($248 million, or 13%, of the Company's 1996 net sales) are
high speed programmable logic devices which are used in a wide range of
electronic systems. Programmable logic devices are standard logic products
produced in a "blank" state that can be custom configured into specific logic
circuits by programming the devices with electrical signals.
The Company offers a full range of simple programmable logic devices and
complex programmable logic devices, but does not participate in the market for
field programmable gate arrays. Programmable logic devices are used in
telecommunications equipment, network infrastructures, hard disk drives,
printers, industrial machine control and numerous other types of electronic
equipment by third-party OEMs which seek to optimize the performance of their
products by custom configuring the logic IC while minimizing time to market
through the use of a standard logic product. The Company's programmable logic
devices are sold to a broad range of manufacturers of electronics systems.
Customers utilizing programmable logic devices must use special software
packages, generally provided by the suppliers of the programmable logic
devices, to program the programmable logic devices. AMD provides its
programmable logic device customers with software which it licenses from third
parties and is dependent upon third parties for the software and continuing
improvements in the software. An inability of AMD to continue to obtain
appropriate software and improvements from third parties, to license
alternative software from another third party, or to develop its own software
internally could materially adversely affect the Company's Vantis business,
including the timing of new or improved product introductions, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is in the process of transferring its operations relating to the
design, development and marketing of programmable logic devices to a wholly
owned subsidiary, Vantis Corporation, dedicated solely to programmable logic
devices. Vantis Corporation will rely upon the Company for manufacturing
services. A dedicated programmable logic device sales force was formed from
members of the Company's existing sales force and began operating as a
separate unit in the second half of 1996.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
The Company's expenses for research and development in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
were $295 million, $417 million and $401 million, respectively. Such expenses
represented 14%, 17% and 21% of net sales in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The Company's research and development expenses are charged to
operations as incurred. Most of the Company's research and development
personnel are integrated into the engineering staff.
Manufacturing technology is the key determinant in the improvement in
semiconductor products. Each new generation of process technology has resulted
in products with higher speed and greater performance produced at lower cost.
AMD continues to make significant infrastructure investments to enable the
Company to continue to achieve high volume, high reliability and low cost
production using leading edge process technology.
The Company's efforts concerning process technologies are focused in three
major areas: non-volatile memory technology used by Flash memory and EPROM
products; logic technology used by the Company's microprocessors, embedded
processors, I/O, networking and communications products; and programmable
logic
9
<PAGE>
technology used in the Company's programmable logic products. The Company's
goals are to increase density and improve product performance, to reduce the
access time for non-volatile memory products and to increase the clock speed
for microprocessor products.
In order to remain competitive, the Company must make continuing substantial
investments in improving its process technologies. In particular, the Company
has made and continues to make significant research and development
investments in the technologies and equipment used in the fabrication of its
microprocessor products and in the fabrication of Flash memory devices.
Portions of these investments might not be recoverable if the Company's K86
microprocessors fail to gain market acceptance or if the market for its Flash
memory products should significantly deteriorate. This could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. In addition, any inability of the Company to
remain competitive with respect to process technology could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
COMPETITION
The IC industry is intensely competitive and, historically, has experienced
rapid technological advances in product and system technologies together with
substantial price reductions in maturing products. After a product is
introduced, prices normally decrease over time as production efficiency and
competition increase, and as a successive generation of products is developed
and introduced for sale. Technological advances in the industry result in
frequent product introductions, regular price reductions, short product life
cycles and increased product capabilities that may result in significant
performance improvements. Competition in the sale of ICs is based upon
performance, product quality and reliability, price, adherence to industry
standards, software and hardware compatibility, marketing and distribution
capability, brand recognition, financial strength and ability to deliver in
large volumes on a timely basis.
In each particular market in which it participates, the Company faces
competition from different groups of companies. With respect to CCG's product
lines, the Company's principal competitors are Intel, Sharp, Atmel, SGS
Thomson, Texas Instruments, Siemens, NEC, LM Ericsson, Alcatel, National
Semiconductor, 3Com and Motorola. With respect to microprocessors, Intel holds
a dominant market position. In Vantis' market, the Company's principal
competitors are Altera, Lattice Semiconductor and other smaller companies
focused on programmable logic device development and production.

The Company's joint venture with Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor
Limited (FASL), is constructing a second manufacturing facility in Aizu-
Wakamatsu, Japan. In addition, the Company is planning to construct and
operate a manufacturing facility in Dresden, Germany, through a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. AMD also has foundry arrangements for the
production of its products by third parties.
The Company's current assembly and test facilities are described in the
chart set forth below:

</TABLE>
In addition to the assembly and test facilities described above, AMD has a
50 year land lease in Suzhou, China, and is constructing an additional
assembly and test facility there. Foreign manufacturing entails political and
economic risks, including political instability, expropriation, currency
controls and fluctuations, changes in freight and interest rates, and loss or
modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs. For example, if AMD were
unable to assemble and test its products abroad, or if air transportation
between the United States and the Company's overseas facilities were
disrupted, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company.
CERTAIN MATERIAL AGREEMENTS. Set forth below are descriptions of certain
material contractual relationships of the Company relating to FASL and the
Company's planned facility in Dresden, Germany.
FASL. In 1993, the Company and Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) formed a joint
venture, FASL, for the development and manufacture of non-volatile memory
devices. Through FASL, the two companies have constructed and are operating an
advanced integrated circuit manufacturing facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan,
to produce Flash memory devices. The facility began volume production in the
first quarter of 1995, and utilizes eight-inch wafer processing technologies
capable of producing products with geometrics of 0.5 micron or smaller.
Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture, the Company and Fujitsu have each
agreed not to independently produce Flash memory devices with geometrics of
0.5 micron or smaller outside of the joint venture.
In the third quarter of 1995, FASL approved construction of a second Flash
memory integrated circuit manufacturing facility (FASL II) at a site
contiguous to the existing FASL facility. Groundbreaking for FASL II occurred
in the first quarter of 1996. The $1.1 billion in capital expenditures planned
for the construction of FASL II are expected to be funded by cash generated
from FASL operations and, if necessary, borrowings by FASL. To the extent that
FASL is unable to secure the necessary funds for FASL II, the Company may be
required to contribute cash or guarantee third party loans in proportion to
its 49.95% interest in FASL. As of January 26, 1997, the Company had
guarantees of $33 million outstanding with respect to such loans. The planned
FASL II costs are denominated in yen and, therefore, are subject to change due
to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
In connection with FASL, the Company and Fujitsu have entered into various
joint development, cross-license and investment arrangements. Accordingly, the
Company and Fujitsu are providing their product designs and process and
manufacturing technologies to FASL. In addition, both companies are
collaborating in developing manufacturing processes and designing integrated
circuits for FASL. The right of each company to use the licensed intellectual
property of the other with respect to certain products is limited to certain
geographic areas. Consequently, the Company's ability to sell Flash memory
products incorporating Fujitsu intellectual property, whether or not produced
by FASL, is also limited in certain territories, including the United Kingdom
and Japan. Fujitsu is likewise limited in its ability to sell Flash memory
devices incorporating the Company's intellectual property, whether or not
produced by FASL, in certain territories including the United States and
Europe, other than the United Kingdom and Ireland.

DRESDEN. AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH (AMD Saxony), a German subsidiary
wholly owned by the Company through a German holding company, is building a
900,000 square foot submicron integrated circuit manufacturing and design
facility in Dresden, in the State of Saxony, Germany (the Dresden Facility)
over the next five years at a presently estimated cost of approximately $1.5
billion. The Dresden Facility is being designed for the production of
microprocessors and other advanced logic products. The Federal Republic of
Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to support the project in the form
of (i) a guarantee of 65% of the bank debt to be incurred by AMD Saxony up to
a maximum of Deutsche marks (DM) 1.65 billion, (ii) investment grants and
subsidies totaling DM500.5 million, and (iii) interest subsidies from the
State of Saxony totaling DM300 million. In March 1997, AMD Saxony will be
entering into a loan agreement with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank
AG under which facilities totaling DM1.65 billion will be made available. In
connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to invest in AMD Saxony
over the next three years equity and subordinated loans in an amount totaling
approximately DM507.5 million. Until the Dresden Facility has been completed,
AMD has also agreed to guarantee AMD Saxony's obligations under the loan
agreement up to a maximum of DM217.5 million. After completion of the Dresden
Facility, AMD has agreed to make available to AMD Saxony up to DM145 million
if the subsidiary does not meet its fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.
Finally, AMD has agreed to undertake certain contingent obligations, including
various obligations to fund project cost overruns. The Company began site
preparation of the Dresden Facility in the fourth quarter of 1996, and plans
to commence construction during the second quarter of 1997. The planned
Dresden Facility costs are denominated in Deutsche marks and, therefore, are
subject to change due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company plans
to hedge future foreign exchange exposure for the Dresden Facility.
AMD is currently negotiating the final forms of all the agreements relating
to the operation and financing of the Dresden Facility. The negotiations
presently contemplate that, in addition to the obligations discussed above,
AMD (directly or indirectly) will be required to (1) return all federal and
state government grants, allowances and interest subsidies, or replace all
such subsidies that are not made available, if the Company or AMD Saxony fails
to meet certain material obligations to the Federal Republic of Germany or the
State of Saxony; (2) purchase the output of the Dresden Facility at transfer
prices to be set pursuant to specific formulas, and which adjust downwards
when the Dresden Facility is operating at less than 75% capacity because of a
lack of market demand for the products being fabricated there (the Company's
product purchase obligation can be terminated once the syndicated loan has
been repaid or under circumstances relating to a change of control of AMD
Saxony or the destruction or abandonment of the Dresden Facility); (3) cause
AMD Saxony to undertake bona fide research and development activities at the
design center of the Dresden Facility; and (4) grant a non-exclusive license
to AMD Saxony to use, at the Dresden Facility and in products manufactured at
the Dresden Facility, intellectual property developed at the Dresden design
center.
No assurance can be given that AMD will be able to negotiate final
agreements relating to the operation and financing of the Dresden Facility on
terms satisfactory to it, that the terms of any such agreements will not be
materially different from those described, or that the financial exposure of
AMD in connection with the Dresden Facility will not materially exceed the
proposed terms described herein.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company's products are marketed and sold under the AMD trademark. AMD
employs a direct sales force through its principal facilities in Sunnyvale,
California, and field sales offices throughout the United States and abroad
(primarily Europe and Asia Pacific). In 1996, the Company established a
separate sales force dedicated to sales of programmable logic devices as a
part of the Company's process of transferring its operations relating to the
design, development and marketing of programmable logic devices to a wholly
owned subsidiary, Vantis Corporation. AMD also sells its products through
third-party distributors and independent representatives in both domestic and
international markets pursuant to nonexclusive agreements. The distributors
also sell products manufactured by the Company's competitors, including those
products for which AMD is an alternate source. One of the Company's
distributors, Arrow Electronics, Inc., accounted for approximately 13% of 1996
net sales. No other distributor or OEM customer accounted for 10% or more of
net sales in 1996.
12
<PAGE>
Distributors typically maintain an inventory of the Company's products.
Pursuant to the Company's agreements with distributors, AMD protects its
distributors' inventory of the Company's products against price reductions, as
well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued. These
agreements, which may be canceled by either party on a specified notice,
generally contain a provision for the return of the Company's products in the
event the agreement with the distributor is terminated. The price protection
and return rights AMD offers to its distributors may materially adversely
affect the Company.
AMD derives a substantial portion of its revenues from its sales
subsidiaries located in Europe and Asia Pacific. AMD subsidiaries have offices
in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hong
Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the
United Kingdom. (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.) The international sales
force also works with independent sales representatives and distributors with
offices in approximately 37 countries, including those where AMD has sales
subsidiaries. The Company's international sales operations entail political
and economic risks, including expropriation, currency controls, exchange rate
fluctuations, changes in freight rates, and changes in rates and exemptions
for taxes and tariffs.
RAW MATERIALS
Certain of the raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its
products are available from a limited number of suppliers. For example,
several types of the integrated circuit packages purchased by AMD, as well as
by the majority of other companies in the semiconductor industry, are
principally supplied by Japanese companies. Shortages could occur in various
essential materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the
industry. If AMD were unable to procure certain of such materials, it would be
required to reduce its manufacturing operations which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. To date, AMD has not experienced significant
difficulty in obtaining necessary raw materials.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The failure to comply with present or future governmental regulations
related to the use, storage, handling, discharge or disposal of toxic,
volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in the manufacturing process
could result in fines being imposed on the Company, suspension of production,
alteration of the Company's manufacturing processes or cessation of
operations. Such regulations could require the Company to acquire expensive
remediation equipment or to incur other expenses to comply with environmental
regulations. Any failure by the Company to control the use, disposal or
storage of, or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances
could subject the Company to future liabilities and could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSING
AMD and its subsidiaries have been granted over 1,165 United States patents,
and over 1,327 patent applications are pending in the United States. In
certain cases, the Company has filed corresponding applications in foreign
jurisdictions. The Company expects to file future patent applications in both
the United States and abroad on significant inventions as it deems
appropriate.
On January 11, 1995, the Company and Intel reached an agreement to settle
all previously outstanding legal disputes between the two companies. As part
of the settlement, in December 1995, the Company signed a five-year,
comprehensive cross-license agreement with Intel which expires on December 31,
2000. The agreement provides that after December 20, 1999, the parties will
negotiate in good faith a patent cross-license agreement to be effective
January 1, 2001. Effective January 1, 1996, the new agreement gives the
Company and Intel the right to use each others' patents and certain
copyrights, including copyrights to the x86 instruction sets but excluding
other microprocessor microcode copyrights beyond the Intel 486(TM) processor
code. The cross-license is royalty-bearing for the Company's products that use
certain Intel technologies. The Company is required to pay Intel minimum non-
refundable royalties during the years 1997 through 2000.
13
<PAGE>
In addition, AMD has entered into numerous cross-licensing and technology
exchange agreements with other companies under which it both transfers and
receives technology and intellectual property rights. Although the Company
attempts to protect its intellectual property rights through patents,
copyrights, trade secrets and other measures, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to protect its technology adequately or that
competitors will not be able to develop similar technology independently.
There can be no assurance that any patent applications that the Company may
file will be issued or that foreign intellectual property laws will protect
the Company's intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that any
patent licensed by or issued to the Company will not be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will
provide competitive advantages to the Company. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that others will not independently develop similar products,
duplicate the Company's products or design around the patents issued to or
licensed by the Company.
From time to time, AMD has been notified that it may be infringing
intellectual property rights of others. If any such claims are asserted
against the Company, the Company may seek to obtain a license under the third
party's intellectual property rights. The Company could decide, in the
alternative, to resort to litigation to challenge such claims. Such challenges
could be extremely expensive and time-consuming and could materially adversely
affect the Company. No assurance can be given that all necessary licenses can
be obtained on satisfactory terms, nor that litigation may always be avoided
or successfully concluded.
BACKLOG
AMD manufactures and markets standard lines of products. Consequently, a
significant portion of its sales are made from inventory on a current basis.
Sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders for current delivery, or
agreements covering purchases over a period of time, which are frequently
subject to revision and cancellation without penalty. Generally, in light of
current industry practice and experience, AMD does not believe that such
agreements provide meaningful backlog figures or are necessarily indicative of
actual sales for any succeeding period.
EMPLOYEES
On January 28, 1997, AMD and its subsidiaries employed approximately 12,200
employees, none of whom are represented by collective bargaining arrangements.
The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is generally
good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal engineering, manufacturing, warehouse and
administrative facilities comprise approximately 3.11 million square feet and
are located in Sunnyvale, California and Austin, Texas. Over 2.56 million
square feet of this space is in buildings owned by the Company.
The Company leases property containing two buildings with an aggregate of
approximately 360,000 square feet, located on 45.6 acres of land in Sunnyvale,
California (One AMD Place). These leases provide the Company with an option to
purchase One AMD Place for $40 million during the lease term. The lease term
ends in 1998. At the end of the lease term, the Company is obligated to either
purchase One AMD Place or to arrange for its sale to a third party with a
guarantee of residual value to the seller equal to the option purchase price.
In 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 175,000
square feet located adjacent to One AMD Place (known as AMD Square) to be used
in connection with One AMD Place.
The Company also owns or leases facilities containing approximately 804,000
square feet for its operations in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. The
Company leases approximately 15 acres of land in Suzhou, China. The Company
owns 74 undeveloped acres of land in the Republic of Ireland. The Company also
has an equity interest in 58 acres of land in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In
1996, the Company acquired approximately 103 acres of land in Dresden,
Germany. Fab 25 is encumbered by a lien securing the Company's $400 million
Senior Secured Notes and its $400 million bank credit arrangements. The
planned Dresden Facility will be encumbered by a lien securing borrowings of
AMD Saxony.
14
<PAGE>
AMD leases 28 sales offices in North America, 9 sales offices in Asia
Pacific, 12 sales offices in Europe and one sales office in South America for
its direct sales force. These offices are located in cities in major
electronics markets where concentrations of the Company's customers are
located.
Leases covering the Company's facilities expire over terms of generally one
to twenty years. The Company currently does not anticipate significant
difficulty in either retaining occupancy of any of its facilities through
lease renewals prior to expiration or through month-to-month occupancy, or
replacing them with equivalent facilities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Since 1981, the Company has discovered,
investigated and begun remediation of three sites where releases from
underground chemical tanks at its facilities in Santa Clara County,
California, adversely affected the groundwater. The chemicals released into
the groundwater were commonly in use in the semiconductor industry in the
wafer fabrication process prior to 1979. At least one of the released
chemicals (which is no longer used by the Company) has been identified as a
probable carcinogen.
In 1991, the Company received four Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders
from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay
Region, relating to the three sites. One of the orders named the Company as
well as TRW Microwave, Inc. and Philips Semiconductors Corporation. Another of
the orders named the Company as well as National Semiconductor Corporation.
The three sites in Santa Clara County are on the National Priorities List
(Superfund). If the Company fails to satisfy federal compliance requirements
or inadequately performs the compliance measures, the government (a) can bring
an action to enforce compliance, or (b) can undertake the desired response
actions itself and later bring an action to recover its costs, and penalties,
which is up to three times the costs of clean-up activities, if appropriate.
With regard to certain claims related to this matter the statute of
limitations has been tolled.
The Company has computed and recorded the estimated environmental liability
in accordance with applicable accounting rules and has not recorded any
potential insurance recoveries in determining the estimated costs of the
cleanup. The amount of environmental charges to earnings has not been material
during any of the last three fiscal years. The Company believes that the
potential liability, if any, in excess of amounts already accrued with respect
to the foregoing environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
2. MCDAID V. SANDERS, ET AL. (CASE NO. C-95-20750-JW, N.D. CAL.); KOZLOWSKI,
ET AL. V. SANDERS, ET AL. (CASE NO. C-95-20829-JW, N.D. CAL.). The McDaid
complaint was filed November 3, 1995 and the Kozlowski complaint was filed
November 15, 1995. Both actions allege violations of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against
the Company and certain individual officers and directors (the Individual
Defendants), and purportedly were filed on behalf of all persons who purchased
or otherwise acquired common stock of the Company during the period April 11,
1995 through September 22, 1995. The complaints seek damages allegedly caused
by alleged materially misleading statements and/or material omissions by the
Company and the Individual Defendants regarding the Company's development of
its AMD-K5, -K6 and -K7 microprocessors, which statements and omissions, the
plaintiffs claim, allegedly operated to inflate artificially the price paid
for the Company's common stock during the period. The complaints seek
compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial, fees and costs, and
extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief. The court has consolidated
both actions into one. Defendants filed answers in the consolidated action in
May, 1996 and discovery has begun. Based upon information presently known to
management, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this
lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
15
<PAGE>
3. ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. V. ALTERA CORPORATION (CASE NO. C-94-20567-
RMW, N. D. CAL.). This litigation, which began in 1994, involves multiple
claims and counterclaims for patent infringement relating to the Company's and
Altera Corporation's programmable logic devices. On June 27, 1996, a jury
returned a verdict and found that four of the eight patents-in-suit were
licensed to Altera. The parties have stipulated that the court, not a jury,
will decide which of the remaining AMD patents-in-suit fall within the scope
of the license that the jury found. The court will hear the first of two
phases regarding the remaining patents in April, 1997. Based upon information
presently known to management, the Company does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
4. INTEL CORPORATION V. ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC., ET AL. (CASE NO. 97-
118, D. DEL.). On March 14, 1997, Intel Corporation (Intel) filed suit against
the Company and Cyrix Corporation in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware alleging false designation of origin and false
advertising, trademark infringement and trademark dilution, and deceptive
trade practices arising out of alleged misuse by the Company of the term
"MMX," which Intel claims as a trademark. In a related matter filed by Intel
against the Company on March 14, 1997, in the regional Court of Braunschweig,
Germany (Case Ref. No. 9 0 89/97), Intel was granted a temporary injunction
prohibiting the Company from using the term "MMX" to identify, advertise or
market its processors. Based upon information presently known to management,
the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits
will have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or results of
operation of the Company.
5. OTHER MATTERS. The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various other
actions which arose in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth

the compensation for services to be rendered by such persons in the future. It

(5) To determine whether and under what circumstances an Option
may be settled in cash or Shares.
(c) The Board or its delegate shall also have the power, subject to
and within the limits of the express provisions of this Plan:

the Plan, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for
administration of the Plan. The Board or its delegate, in the exercise of
this power, shall generally determine all questions of policy and
expediency that may arise and may correct any defect, omission or
inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option agreement in a manner and to
the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully
effective.
(2) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts
as are deemed necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the
Company.
(d) The Board may, by resolution, delegate administration of the Plan
(including, without limitation, the Board's powers under Sections 3(b) and
(c) above), under either or both of the following:
(1) with respect to the participation of or granting of Options
to an employee, consultant or advisor who is not an Insider, to a
committee of one or more members of the Board, whether or not such
members of the Board are Disinterested Directors;
(2) with respect to matters other than the selection for

(e) Unless each member of the Board is a Disinterested Director, the
Board shall, by resolution, delegate administration of the Plan with
respect to the participation in the Plan of employees who are Insiders,
including its powers to select such employees for participation in the
Plan, to make substantive decisions concerning the timing, pricing,
amount or any other material term of an Option, to a committee of two or
more Disinterested Directors who are also "outside directors" within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any committee to which
administration of the Plan is so delegated pursuant to this Section 3(e)
may also administer the Plan with respect to an employee described in
Section 3(d)(1) above.
<PAGE>
(f) Except as required by Section 3(e) above, the Board shall have
complete discretion to determine the composition, structure, form, term
and operations of any committee established to administer the Plan. If
administration is delegated to a committee, unless the Board otherwise
provides, the committee shall have, with respect to the administration of
the Plan, all of the powers and discretion theretofore possessed by the
Board and delegable to such committee, subject to any constraints which
may be adopted by the Board from time to time and which are not

except under circumstances where a committee is required to administer
the Plan under Section 3(e) above.
(g) The determinations of the Board or its delegate shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in this Plan or

changes in capitalization), the Shares which may be available for issuance
under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 6,665,000 Shares of the
Company's authorized Common Stock and may be unissued Shares or reacquired
Shares or Shares bought on the market for the purposes of issuance under the
Plan. If any Options granted under the Plan shall for any reason be forfeited
or canceled, terminate or expire, the Shares subject to such Options shall be
available again for the purposes of the Plan. Shares which are delivered or
withheld from the Shares otherwise due on exercise of an Option shall become
available for future awards under the Plan. Shares that have actually been
issued under the Plan, upon exercise of an Option shall not in any event be
returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future awards under
the Plan.
5. ELIGIBILITY
Options may be granted only to full or part-time employees, officers,
directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and/or of any Affiliate;
provided such consultants and advisors render bona fide services not in
- --------
connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction. Outside Directors shall not be eligible for the benefits of the
Plan, except as provided in Section 8 hereof. Any Participant may hold more
than one Option at any time; provided that the maximum number of shares which
--------
are subject to Options granted to any individual shall not exceed in the
aggregate two million (2,000,000) Shares over the full ten-year life of the
Plan.
6. STOCK OPTIONS -- GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Except for automatic grants of Options to Outside Directors under
Section 8 hereof, each Option granted pursuant to the Plan may, at the
discretion of the Board, be granted either as an ISO or as an NSO. No
Option may be granted alternatively as an ISO and as an NSO.
(b) To the extent that the aggregate exercise price for ISOs which are
exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year
(under this Plan or any other plans of the
<PAGE>
Company or its subsidiaries or parent (as such terms are defined in
Section 424 of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated
as NSOs.
(c) No ISO may be granted to a person who, at the time of grant, owns
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or parent (as such terms are defined
in Section 424 of the Code) unless the exercise price is at least 110% of
the Fair Market Value per Share of the stock subject to the Option and
the term of the Option does not exceed five (5) years from the date such
ISO is granted.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no term of this
Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered, nor will
any discretion or authority granted under this Plan be exercised, so as
to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the
consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify an ISO under Section
422 of the Code.
7. TERMS OF OPTION AGREEMENT
Except as otherwise required by the terms of Section 8 hereof, each
Option agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board from time to time shall deem appropriate, subject to
the following limitations:
(a) The term of any NSO shall not be greater than ten (10) years and
one day from the date it was granted. The term of any ISO shall not be
greater than ten (10) years from the date it was granted.
(b) The exercise price of each ISO shall be not less than the Fair
Market Value per Share of the stock subject to the Option on the date the
Option is granted. NSOs may be granted at an exercise price that is not
less than Fair Market Value per Share of the Shares at the time an NSO is
granted.
(c) Unless otherwise specified in the Option agreement, no Option
shall be transferable otherwise than by will, pursuant to the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder, or as otherwise permitted by
regulations and interpretations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 7 or
in a Participant's employment agreement, the rights of a Participant
(other than an Outside Director) to exercise an Option shall be limited
as follows:
(1) DEATH OR DISABILITY: If a Participant's service is terminated
by death or disability, then the Participant or the Participant's estate,
or such other person as may hold the Option, as the case may be, shall
have the right for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of
death or disability, or for such other period as the Board may fix, to
exercise the Option to the extent the Participant was entitled to
exercise such Option on the date of his death or disability, or to such
extent as may otherwise by specified by the Board (which may so specify
after the date of his death or disability but before expiration of the
Option), provided the actual date of exercise is in no event after
<PAGE>
the expiration of the term of the Option. A Participant's estate shall
mean his legal representative or any person who acquires the right to
exercise an Option by reason of the Participant's death or disability.
(2) MISCONDUCT: If a Participant is determined by the Board to
have committed on act of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, a breach
of fiduciary duty to the Company (or Affiliate), or deliberate disregard
of the rules of the Company (or Affiliate), or if a Participant makes any
unauthorized disclosure of any of the trade secrets or confidential
information of the Company (or Affiliate), engages in any conduct which
constitutes unfair competition with the Company (or Affiliate), induces
any customer of the Company (or Affiliate) to break any contract with the
Company (or Affiliate), or induces any principal for whom the Company (or
Affiliate) acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, then,
unless otherwise provided in a Participant's employment agreement,
neither the Participant, the Participant's estate nor such other person
who may then hold the Option shall be entitled to exercise any Option
with respect to any Shares whatsoever, after termination of service,
whether or not after termination of service the Participant may receive
payment from the Company (or Affiliate) for vacation pay, for services
rendered prior to termination, for services rendered for the day on which
termination occurs, for salary in lieu of notice, or for any other
benefits. In making such determination, the Board shall give the
Participant an opportunity to present to the Board evidence on his
behalf. For the purpose of this paragraph, unless otherwise provided in a
Participant's employment agreement, termination of service shall be
deemed to occur on the date when the Company dispatches notice or advice
to the Participant that his service is terminated.
(3) TERMINATION FOR OTHER REASONS: If a Participant's service is
terminated for any reason other than those mentioned above under "DEATH
OR DISABILITY" or "MISCONDUCT," the Participant, the Participant's
estate, or such other person who may then hold the Option may, within
three months following such termination, or within such longer period as
the Board may fix, exercise the Option to the extent such Option was
exercisable by the Participant on the date of termination of his
employment or service, or to the extent otherwise specified by the Board
(which may so specify after the date of the termination but before
expiration of the Option) provided the date of exercise is in no event
after the expiration of the term of the Option.
(4) EVENTS NOT DEEMED TERMINATIONS: Unless otherwise provided in a
Participant's employment agreement, the service relationship shall not be
considered interrupted in the case of (i) a Participant who intends to
continue to provide services as a director, employee, consultant or advisor
to the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) sick leave; (iii) military leave; (iv)
any other leave of absence approved by the Board, provided such leave is
--------
for a period of not more than 90 days, unless reemployment upon the
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless
provided otherwise pursuant to formal policy adopted from time to time by
the Company and issued and promulgated to employees in writing; or (v) in
the case of transfer between locations of the Company or between the
Company or its Affiliates. In the case of any employee on an approved
leave of absence, the Board may make such provisions respecting suspension
of vesting
<PAGE>
of the Option while on leave from the employ of the Company or an
Affiliate as it may deem appropriate, except that in no event shall an
Option be exercised after the expiration of the term set forth in the
Option.
(e) Unless otherwise provided in a Participant's employment agreement,
if any Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for any
reason other than for Misconduct or, if applicable, by Constructive
Termination, within one year after a Change of Control has occurred, then
all Options held by such Participant shall become fully vested for
exercise upon the date of termination, irrespective of the vesting
provisions of the Participant's Option agreement. For purposes of this
subsection (e), the term "Change of Control" shall have the meaning
assigned by this Plan, unless a different meaning is defined in an
individual Participant's Option agreement or employment agreement.
(f) Options may also contain such other provisions, which shall not be
inconsistent with any of the foregoing terms, as the Board or its
delegate shall deem appropriate.
(g) The Board may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and
authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided
--------
that any such action may not, without the written consent of a
Participant, impair any such Participant's rights under any Option
previously granted.
8. AUTOMATIC GRANTS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS
(a) Each Outside Director shall be granted an Option to purchase
12,000 Shares under the Plan (the "FIRST OPTION") on the date such
Outside Director is first elected or appointed as a member of the Board;
provided that an Outside Director who has previously been elected as a
--------
member of the Board on the Effective Date set forth in Section 14 below
shall not be granted a First Option under the Plan. Thereafter, on the
first business day coincident with or following each annual meeting of
the Company's stockholders, each Outside Director reported as being
elected shall be granted an additional Option to purchase 3,000 Shares
under the Plan (the "ANNUAL OPTION"). Further, subject to the right of
any Outside Director who has not previously been elected as a member of
the Board to receive a First Option, if there are insufficient Shares
available under the Plan for each Outside Director who is eligible to
receive an Annual Option (as adjusted) in any year, the number of Shares
subject to each Annual Option in such year shall equal the total number
of available Shares then remaining under the Plan divided by the number
of Outside Directors who are eligible to receive an Annual Option on such
date, as rounded down to avoid fractional Shares. All Options granted to
Outside Directors shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
of this Section 8.
(b) All Options granted to Outside Directors pursuant to the Plan
shall be NSOs.
(c) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, may consist
entirely of (i) cash, (ii) certified or cashier's check, (iii) other
Shares which (x) either have been owned by the Participant for more than
six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or
indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the
Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (iv) delivery of
<PAGE>
a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable
instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of
sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, or (v) any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
(d) Each Option granted to an Outside Director shall be for a term of
ten years plus one day. Each First Option shall vest and become
exercisable on July 15 of subsequent calendar years, according to the
following schedule: 4,800 shares in the first calendar year following the
date of grant; 3,600 shares in the second such calendar year; 2,400
shares in the third such calendar year; and 1,200 shares in the fourth
such calendar year. Each Annual Option shall vest and become exercisable
on July 15 of subsequent calendar years according to the following
schedule: in equal installments of 1,000 shares each in the second, third
and fourth calendar years following the date of grant. Any Shares
acquired by an Outside Director upon exercise of an Option shall not be
freely transferable until six months after the date stockholder approval
referred to in Section 14 hereof is obtained.
(e) If an Outside Director's tenure on the Board is terminated for any
reason, then the Outside Director or the Outside Director's estate, as
the case may be, shall have the right for a period of twelve months
following the date such tenure is terminated to exercise the Option to
the extent the Outside Director was entitled to exercise such Option on
the date the Outside Director's tenure terminated; provided the actual
date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the
Option. An Outside Director's "estate" shall mean the Outside Director's
legal representative or any person who acquires the right to exercise an
Option by reason of the Outside Director's death or disability.
(f) Upon a Change of Control, all Options held by an Outside Director
shall become fully vested and exercisable upon such Change of Control,
irrespective of any other provisions of the Outside Director's Option
agreement.
(g) The automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to this Section
8 shall not be subject to the discretion of any person. The other
provisions of this Plan shall apply to the Options granted automatically
pursuant to this Section 8, except to the extent such other provisions
are inconsistent with this Section 8.
9. PAYMENTS AND LOANS UPON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
With respect to Options other than Options granted to Outside Directors
pursuant to Section 8, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Board or its delegate (and, in the case of an ISO,
shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (i)
cash, (ii) certified or cashier's check, (iii) promissory note, (iv)
other Shares which (x) either have been owned by the Participant for more
than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly
or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (v) delivery of a
properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions
to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or
<PAGE>
loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, or (vi) any combination
of the foregoing methods of payment. Any promissory note shall be a full
recourse promissory note having such terms as may be approved by the
Board and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid imputation of
income under Sections 483, 1274 or 7872 of the Code; provided that
--------
Participants who are not employees or directors of the Company will not
be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless the note is
adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares; provided further,
-------- -------
that the portion of the exercise price equal to the par value, if any, of
the Shares must be paid in cash;
(b) The Company may make loans or guarantee loans made by an appropriate
financial institution to individual Participants, including Insiders, on
such terms as may be approved by the Board for the purpose of financing the
exercise of Options granted under the Plan and the payment of any taxes
that may be due by reason of such exercise.
10. TAX WITHHOLDING
(a) Where, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the Company has
or will have an obligation to withhold federal, state or local taxes
relating to the exercise of any Option, the Board may in its discretion
require that such tax obligation be satisfied in a manner satisfactory to
the Company. With respect to the exercise of an Option, the Company may
require the payment of such taxes before Shares deliverable pursuant to
such exercise are transferred to the holder of the Option.
(b) With respect to the exercise of an Option, a Participant may elect
(a "WITHHOLDING ELECTION") to pay his minimum statutory withholding tax
obligation by the withholding of Shares from the total number of Shares
deliverable pursuant to the exercise of such Option, or by delivering to
the Company a sufficient number of previously acquired Shares, and may
elect to have additional taxes paid by the delivery of previously
acquired Shares, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures
established by the Board. Previously owned Shares delivered in payment
for such additional taxes must have been owned for at least six months
prior to the delivery or must not have been acquired directly or
indirectly from the Company and may be subject to such other conditions
as the Board may require. The value of Shares withheld or delivered shall
be the Fair Market Value per Share on the date the Option becomes
taxable. All Withholding Elections are subject to the approval of the
Board must be made in compliance with rules and procedures established by
the Board.
11. ADJUSTMENTS OF AND CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
If there is any change in the Common Stock of the Company by reason of
any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split up, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Shares, or any
other similar corporate event, then the Board shall make appropriate
adjustments to the number of Shares theretofore appropriated or thereafter
subject or which may become subject to an Option under the Plan. Outstanding
Options shall also be automatically converted as to price and other terms if
necessary to reflect the foregoing events. No right to purchase fractional
Shares shall result from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section
11. In case of any such adjustment, the Shares subject to the Option shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Notice of any adjustment shall be
given by
<PAGE>
the Company to each holder of any Option which shall have been so adjusted and
such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and
binding for all purposes of the Plan.
12. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP
No Participant will have any rights of a stockholder with respect to
any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are
issued to the Participant, the Participant will be a stockholder and have all
the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right
to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with
respect to such Shares.
13. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS; RULE 16b-3
The Board or its delegate may, at any time or from time to time,
authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to
issue new Options in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all
outstanding Options, except as otherwise provided in Section 7(i) with respect
to Insiders. The Board or its delegate may at any time buy from a Participant
an Option previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or other
consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Board or its delegate
and the Participant may agree. Grants of Options to Insiders are intended to
comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and such Options shall
contain such additional conditions or restrictions, if any, as may be required
by Rule 16b-3 to be in the written agreement relating to such Options in order
to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with
respect to Plan transactions.
14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN
This Plan will become effective when adopted by the Board (the "EFFECTIVE
DATE"). This Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company,
consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or after the
Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board or its delegate may grant
Options pursuant to this Plan; provided that no Option may be exercised prior to
the initial stockholder approval of this Plan. In the event that stockholder
approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Options
granted hereunder will be canceled. So long as Insiders are Participants, the
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 with respect to
stockholder approval.
15. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
(a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan;
provided that, except as provided in Section 11 (relating to adjustments
--------
upon changes in capitalization), no amendment for which stockholder
approval is required shall be effective unless such approval is obtained
within the required time period. Whether stockholder approval is required
shall be determined by the Board.
(b) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may, without seeking
approval of the Company's stockholders, amend the Plan in any respect
necessary to provide the Company's
<PAGE>
employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under
Section 422 of the Code or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and/or to bring the Plan or Options
granted under it into compliance therewith.
(c) Rights and obligations under any Option granted before any
amendment of the Plan shall not be altered or impaired by amendment of
the Plan, except with the consent of the person who holds the Option,
which consent may be obtained in any manner that the Board or its
delegate deems appropriate.
(d) To the extent required by Rule 16b-3, the Board may not amend the
provisions of Section 8 hereof more than once every six months, other than
to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder.
16. REGISTRATION, LISTING, QUALIFICATION, APPROVAL OF STOCK AND OPTIONS
An award under this Plan will not be effective unless such award is in
compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and
regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange
or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or
quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the award and also on the
date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for
Shares under this Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental
agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (b)
completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any
state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company
determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no
obligation to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing
requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation
system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to
do so.
17. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT
Nothing in this Plan or in any Option shall be deemed to confer on any
employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate
or to limit the rights of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby
expressly reserved, to discharge an employee at any time, with or without
cause, or to adjust the compensation of any employee.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
The use of any masculine pronoun or similar term is intended to be
without legal significance as to gender.

The Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of NexGen,
Inc. (The "NexGen Board") on March 12, 1995, and thereafter amended by the

NexGen, Inc. with and into Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD") on January 17,
1996, AMD assumed the Plan as the successor to NexGen. The AMD Board of
Directors amended the Plan on February 7, 1996 and April 25, 1996. The purpose
of the Plan is to offer selected employees, consultants and promotional
representatives an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success
of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of
Shares and for the grant of Options to purchase shares. Options granted under
the Plan may include Nonstatutory Options as well as ISOs intended to qualify
under section 422 of the Code.
The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 (or its
successor) under the Exchange Act and shall be construed accordingly.

transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in
an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions and (ii) "Change
of Control" shall exclude the acquisition of securities representing more than
20% of either the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company or

Purchase Agreement between the Offeree and the Company. Such award or sale
shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be
subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the
Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase
Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.
(b) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right
---------------------------------------------------
to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically
expire if not exercised by the Offeree within 30 days after the grant of such
right was communicated to the Offeree by the Committee. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was
granted.

--------------
under the Plan shall not be less than the par value of such Shares. Subject to
the preceding sentence, the Purchase Price shall be determined by the Committee
at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described
in Section 8.
(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the award, sale or
-----------------
vesting of Shares, the Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may
require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding
tax obligations that arise in connection with such Shares. The Committee may
permit the Offeree to satisfy all or part of his or her tax obligations related
to such Shares by having the Company withhold a portion of any Shares that
otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering any Shares that
previously were acquired by him or her. The Shares withheld or surrendered
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise
would be withheld in cash. The payment of taxes by assigning Shares to the
Company, if permitted
12
<PAGE>
by the Committee, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may
impose, including any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold
----------------------------------
under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as of the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.
SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
- --------- -------------------------------
(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan
----------------------
shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement executed by the Optionee and the
Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of
the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not
inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for
inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock
Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
----------------
the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9. Options granted to any
Optionee in a single calendar year shall in no event cover more than 400,000
Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 9. The Stock Option
Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Nonstatutory
Option.

of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise
provided in Section 4(c). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option shall not
be less than the par value of a Share. Subject to the preceding two sentences,
the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its
sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in

(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an
-----------------
Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require
for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall
also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of
any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise
in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
The Committee may permit the Optionee to satisfy all or part of his or her tax
obligations related to the Option by having the Company withhold a portion of
any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by her. Such Shares
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise
would be withheld in cash. The payment of taxes by assigning Shares to the
Company, if permitted by the
13
<PAGE>
Committee, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose,
including any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(e) Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
--------------
date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The
vesting of any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole
discretion.
If the employment of any Optionee who is a common law employee of the
Company is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Misconduct or if
applicable, by Constructive Termination, within one year after a Change of
Control has occurred, then all Options held by such Optionee shall become fully
vested for exercise upon the date of termination, irrespective of the vesting

accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, Total and
Permanent Disability, retirement or upon other events.
(f) Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of
----
the Option. The term of an ISO shall not exceed 10 years from the date of
grant, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c). Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is

terminates.
14

----------------------------------
exercise of an Option may be subject to such special forfeiture conditions,
rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as

payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on
the value of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by

the assumption of outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its
parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving
corporation), for payment of a cash settlement equal to the difference between
the amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price,
or for the acceleration of their exercisability followed by the cancellation of
Options not exercised, in all cases without the Optionees' consent. Any
cancellation shall not occur until after such acceleration is effective and
Optionees have been notified of such acceleration.
(c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 9,
---------------------
an Optionee or Offeree shall have not rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of share of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 10. SECURITIES LAWS.

delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,

laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the

ARTICLE 5
APPROVAL OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS
5.1 APPROVAL BY COMPANY. COMPANY will designate in writing one
-------------------
Representative who shall have full authority to approve or disapprove on behalf
of COMPANY all Design Documents which CONTRACTOR is required to submit to
COMPANY for approval in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 hereof.
---------
Except as provided to the contrary in Section 5.3 below, CONTRACTOR shall not
-----------
release orders to vendors, to subcontractors, to CONTRACTOR'S shops, or to
CONTRACTOR'S field construction department until COMPANY has approved all
specifications, drawings, and data sheets that apply to such orders. CONTRACTOR
shall furnish to COMPANY plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets, Project
Schedule, Project Budget and Estimate of Project Cost not later than the dates
set forth in the document entitled "AMD Fab 30 Dresden", plot date 10/10/96,
which by this reference is made a part hereof. COMPANY shall have ten (10)
working days after its receipt of plans, specifications, drawings and data
sheets to approve or comment on such plans, specifications, drawings and data
sheets submitted by CONTRACTOR to COMPANY for approval or comment. COMPANY
shall have ten (10) working days after its receipt of the Project Schedule,
Project Budget and then current Estimate of Project Cost to approve or comment
thereon. In the event of force majeure, the time for approval shall be extended
by the period of time COMPANY has been prevented from acting. In cases where
COMPANY submits comments on any such plans, specifications, drawings, data
sheets or other documents, CONTRACTOR shall make the revisions necessary to
obtain COMPANY'S approval thereof and shall submit in writing the amount of any
additional costs associated with the changes requested by COMPANY. Such revised
plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets and other documents shall be
submitted to COMPANY for approval currently as the revisions are made. In the
event that COMPANY fails to approve or comment on any of the aforesaid plans,
specifications, drawings, data sheets or other documents within ten (10) working
days and CONTRACTOR has fulfilled all its obligations in connection with
securing approval thereof, then CONTRACTOR may notify COMPANY in writing if
COMPANY'S delay would have an effect on the critical path set forth in the
Project Schedule or would increase the Budgeted Cost of the Work set forth in
the Project Budget. In such a case, if COMPANY requests, CONTRACTOR shall
prepare a Schedule Recovery Plan (including associated costs) for COMPANY'S
consideration. COMPANY may authorize CONTRACTOR to begin Construction Work
depicted on those Design Documents as to which Company's approval has been
delayed and any rework costs caused by COMPANY'S delay in approval shall become
Reimbursable Costs (defined in Section 16.1), and the Budgeted Cost of the Work
------------
shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 14.4. If COMPANY is delayed in acting on
------------
any plans, specifications, drawings, or data sheets by reason of CONTRACTOR'S
failure to fulfill any of its obligations in connection with securing approval
thereof, COMPANY shall notify CONTRACTOR of such failure within the aforesaid
allotted time; and the aforesaid time allowed COMPANY for acting on the plans,
specifications, drawings, and data sheets involved in the delay shall then be
14
<PAGE>
deemed to commence after CONTRACTOR rectifies such failure. The periods herein
allowed COMPANY for acting on plans, specifications, drawings and data sheets
shall be understood to refer to the time during which such plans,
specifications, drawings, and data sheets are actually in the possession of the
Representative designated by COMPANY to act on such matters (or in possession of
his office or deputy, in case of said Representative's absence); and shall not
include any time during which said plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets,
or notices of approval or disapproval of them, are in transit. CONTRACTOR is
deemed to have included sufficient time periods for review and approval by
COMPANY, of all Design Documents and shop drawings and submittals within the
Project Schedule. As regards all other engineering work performed by CONTRACTOR
hereunder, COMPANY shall have the right to review said engineering work
currently to the extent COMPANY finds desirable, and if any question shall arise
as to design adequacy, CONTRACTOR shall satisfy COMPANY of the soundness of its
proposed design and specifications. CONTRACTOR shall make such modifications in
its engineering work as are necessary to conform with the approved plans,
specifications, drawings, and data sheets and to correct errors or faulty
design.
5.2 SCHEDULE OF SUBMITTALS. To avoid overtaxing COMPANY'S facilities for
----------------------
reviewing and checking plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets, Project
Schedule, Project Budget and Estimate of Project Cost, CONTRACTOR shall plan and
publish a schedule defining when CONTRACTOR will submit said plans,
specifications, drawings, data sheets, Project Schedule, Project Budget and
Estimate of Project Cost. Such plan shall be consistent with the document
entitled "AMD Fab 30 Dresden" referred to in Section 5.1. To expedite such
-----------
work, as rapidly as CONTRACTOR prepares or obtains said documents, CONTRACTOR
shall, when and if requested to do so, furnish COMPANY (for information purposes
only) preliminary issues of those documents that CONTRACTOR is preparing, in
advance of their final completion.
5.3 BULK ORDERS. Any provision in Section 5.1 of this Article 5 to the
----------- ----------- ---------
contrary notwithstanding, CONTRACTOR may release bulk orders for such
materials as pipe, ordinary valves and fittings, reinforcing steel, electrical
wire, conduit and fittings, brick, and the like without COMPANY'S prior approval
of the drawings and data sheets applying to said materials, provided COMPANY
--------
shall have approved such bulk orders and their release in writing prior to the
release and said materials are ordered in accordance with applicable
specifications approved by COMPANY.
5.4 RETURN OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS TO CONTRACTOR. One copy each of all plans,
----------------------------------------
specifications, drawings, and data sheets submitted to COMPANY for approval
shall be returned to CONTRACTOR marked either "APPROVED," "APPROVED AS MARKED,"
or "REVISE AS INDICATED." However, CONTRACTOR shall not release orders or begin
work covered by any plans, specifications, drawings, or data sheets that are
returned to it marked "REVISE AS INDICATED"; and all such plans, specifications,
drawings, and data sheets shall be first revised by CONTRACTOR and resubmitted
to COMPANY for its approval and such approval obtained before any orders are
released or work is begun thereunder. All requirements hereinbefore set forth
pertaining to the approval of plans, specifications, drawings, and data sheets
shall apply with equal force to any and all revisions of plans, specifications,
drawings, and data sheets. COMPANY'S marking any plans, specifications,
drawings and data sheets as aforesaid shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of its
responsibilities under the Contract, and all approvals or revisions by COMPANY
shall be subject to the limitations expressed in Section 5.5.
-----------
5.5 NATURE OF COMPANY'S APPROVAL OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS. COMPANY'S approval
------------------------------------------------
or revision of plans, specifications, drawings, or data sheets, or of any other
material submitted to it for approval pursuant to Article 4 hereof, is not
---------
intended to replace or supersede in any way CONTRACTOR as the architect
15
<PAGE>
and engineer of the Project, will not relieve CONTRACTOR of its full and sole
responsibility to provide the design and engineering services for the Project,
will not operate as a waiver of, or in any modify, any of CONTRACTOR'S
obligations and responsibilities hereunder or thereunder and will not in any way
alter the complete and sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR to design and engineer
a Facility of lawful, satisfactory design, construction, and operation. If
COMPANY insists upon a design that CONTRACTOR states in writing is unsuitable
and states CONTRACTOR'S reasons for so concluding, CONTRACTOR shall not be
liable for any problems caused by such design. As stated in Section 1.3.4,
-------------
CONTRACTOR is not responsible for the design of the Wafer Process Equipment.

deliver any Design Documents or other items, including without limitation
submittals or shop drawings, to COMPANY by the dates agreed upon, CONTRACTOR
shall develop a Schedule Recovery Plan. Should any additional costs to the
Project occur as a result of such delay(s) or the effort(s) necessary to recover
therefrom, all such costs shall be solely for CONTRACTOR'S account. Such delays
shall not result in a change in the Project Schedule.
5.6.2 DELAY BY COMPANY IN DELIVERY. In the event COMPANY fails to respond
----------------------------
to such Design Documents or other items within ten (10) working days in
accordance with Section 5.1, then (a) CONTRACTOR shall have the right to give
-----------
COMPANY'S Representative 24-hours notice of such failure in accordance with
Section 14.4.4.

vendors, agents or representatives released or otherwise caused any
environmental contaminants, pollutants or waste to be present at the Site, in
which case CONTRACTOR'S indemnity set forth in Section 20.1 shall apply to such
------------
environmental contaminants, pollutants or waste. In the course of performing
the Construction Work, CONTRACTOR shall execute all work related to the Site
such as excavating, trenching, back-filling, filling, compacting, grading and
landscaping. If CONTRACTOR is requested by COMPANY to perform the work, such
work shall also include any work necessary to remedy environmental problems
which may be discovered in the course of carrying out the project (such as,
e.g., the removal of contaminated soil and the removal of underground tanks,
chemicals or munitions). The public law responsibility of COMPANY as owner of
the Site vis-a-vis the State of Saxony and the City of
16
<PAGE>
Dresden shall not be affected hereby. To the extent that additional fill
material is needed for this work, CONTRACTOR shall provide same. CONTRACTOR
shall remove the excess spoil and back-fill material from the job site and
dispose of it, in a manner satisfactory to COMPANY, as required by law
applicable to the Site and as specified in the Contract Documents. All net
proceeds from the disposition of soil taken from the Site shall be applied to

approval, neither CONTRACTOR nor any of its subcontractors shall adopt any
schedule of wages and hours for work on the Project which involves the routine
use of overtime labor or the payment of bonuses in addition to the prevailing
wage scales. Such request for prior approval will not be a prerequisite for the
performance of unscheduled overtime work in those non-routine situations which
may arise from time to time requiring the use of overtime (as, for example,
finishing a pour of concrete). COMPANY acknowledges that the current Project
Budget anticipates some overtime and shift work.

8.18 CLEANING UP. CONTRACTOR shall, at all times, keep the Site and all
-----------
adjacent property free from accumulations of waste material or rubbish caused by
CONTRACTOR'S or any subcontractor's employees or by the Construction Work. Upon
completion of the Construction Work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all temporary
structures, rubbish, and waste materials resulting from its operations.
CONTRACTOR shall adhere to and implement the Clean Build protocol. Should
CONTRACTOR, in COMPANY'S opinion, not comply in this matter, COMPANY may give
CONTRACTOR written notice of such non-compliance. If CONTRACTOR fails to cure
its non-compliance within ten (10) working days, COMPANY reserves the right to
deduct any and all costs incurred in maintaining cleanliness from the next
monthly payment.
ARTICLE 9
PURCHASING MATERIALS, SUBCONTRACTING WORK AND COMPUTERS
9.1 PURCHASING MATERIALS. CONTRACTOR shall notify COMPANY if any purchase
--------------------
of materials will increase the cost of the work beyond the amount approved by
COMPANY in the Project Budget.
9.2 SUBCONTRACTING WORK.
-------------------
9.2.1 THIRD PARTY SUBCONTRACTS AND VENDORS. CONTRACTOR and COMPANY
------------------------------------
shall each submit to the other the names of all subcontractors and vendors which
either party proposes for the Construction Work and information regarding them
as COMPANY or CONTRACTOR may reasonably request. CONTRACTOR and COMPANY shall
mutually approve the list of prospective subcontractors and vendors from whom
CONTRACTOR shall solicit bids. CONTRACTOR shall select the subcontractors and
vendors for the Project that CONTRACTOR intends to utilize from the approved
bidders list. As described below in this Section, COMPANY shall review and
approve the subcontractors and vendors selected by CONTRACTOR. If COMPANY
requests CONTRACTOR to enter into a subcontract or purchase order with a person
whose bid exceeded the bid of a person that CONTRACTOR desires to employ, and
CONTRACTOR would not otherwise agree to award a subcontract or purchase order to
such higher bidder, the parties shall issue a Change Order for the amount of the
difference between the two bids, the Budgeted Cost of the Work and the Project
Budget shall be increased by the amount of such difference, and CONTRACTOR shall
utilize such higher bidder. CONTRACTOR and COMPANY shall mutually agree on the
vendors of the systems for chemicals, specialty gases and ultra pure water who
shall be included on the approved bidders list, but COMPANY shall have the sole
right to select the vendor of each such system. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any
subcontractors and vendors that are not on the list of approved bidders.
CONTRACTOR shall not enter into any purchase orders or subcontract any work
pertaining to the Project, nor permit any of its subcontractors to do so,
without first
22
<PAGE>
obtaining COMPANY'S written approval as to the kind and extent of
the Construction Work to be included in the purchase order or subcontract; the
type of purchase order or subcontract and payment schedule; the person to be
favored with the Construction Work; and the amount or amounts to be paid under
each purchase order or subcontract. COMPANY'S approval shall be granted or
denied within ten (10) working days after receipt of the purchase order or
subcontract. If COMPANY fails to approve or disapprove within said period of
ten (10) working days, CONTRACTOR shall have the right to give COMPANY'S
Representative 24-hours notice of COMPANY'S failure in accordance with Section
--------
14.4.4. CONTRACTOR will require and insure that all vendors and
- -------
subcontractors, and their subcontractors, comply with and participate in, all
schedule reporting, performance reporting, cost reporting and dispute resolution
requirements of this Agreement. All subcontracts and purchase orders shall
contain provisions requiring the subcontractors and vendors, upon receipt of
COMPANY'S written demand, or the written demand of any lender providing part or
all of the financing for the Facility, to perform their obligations under such
subcontracts and purchase orders for COMPANY or for such lender, if COMPANY or
such lender takes over the work or terminates the Contract, as hereinafter
provided. CONTRACTOR shall provide to COMPANY or such lender and shall update,
at least monthly, a list of all subcontractors and vendors involved in the
Project.
9.2.2 CONTRACTOR BIDDING ON SUBCONTRACTED WORK. If CONTRACTOR
----------------------------------------
desires to perform any part of the Construction Work (including without
limitation supplying any materials) on a cost plus fee basis, CONTRACTOR shall
do so and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto. If CONTRACTOR
desires to perform any part of the Construction Work (including without
limitation supplying any materials) on a lump sum basis, CONTRACTOR may submit a
bid to COMPANY but only upon the following conditions: (i) all other persons
bidding on such part of the Construction Work shall be informed that CONTRACTOR
will also be bidding; and (ii) COMPANY alone shall select the bidder who shall
perform such part of the Construction Work. If COMPANY selects a bidder other
than CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall enter into a subcontract or purchase order
with such bidder and shall manage that part of the Construction Work as if
CONTRACTOR had not participated in such bidding. If COMPANY selects CONTRACTOR,
CONTRACTOR shall perform such part of the Construction Work in accordance with
CONTRACTOR'S bid and, to the extent not inconsistent with CONTRACTOR'S bid, in
accordance with the Contract. All warranties and guarantees contained herein
shall apply to such work, whether or not performed by CONTRACTOR.
9.3 NATURE OF COMPANY'S APPROVAL. COMPANY'S approval of any purchase
----------------------------
order or subcontract shall be construed to apply only to the items mentioned in
Sections 9.1 and 9.2 above, unless otherwise expressly stated in such approval,
- ------------ ---
and such approval shall not be construed to alter, amend, or waive any provision
of the Contract.
9.4 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBCONTRACTORS. CONTRACTOR shall be fully
-----------------------------------------
responsible to COMPANY for the acts and omissions (including without limitation
negligence) of its vendors and subcontractors and of persons either directly or
indirectly employed by them. Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall
create any contractual relation between any subcontractor or vendor and COMPANY.
9.5 COST-PLUS SUBCONTRACTS. Subcontracts and purchase orders may be
----------------------
compensated on a "cost reimbursable" basis only with the prior written consent
of COMPANY. COMPANY may grant or deny its consent based upon COMPANY'S business
judgment exercised in good faith. COMPANY shall grant or deny its consent
within a reasonable period of time.
23
<PAGE>
9.6 COMPUTERS. All of CONTRACTOR'S personal computers, work stations and
---------
printers shall operate in the same computing environment that COMPANY maintains,
including without limitation PCs running Microsoft Windows, MS Word and MS
Excel. The version of any software used by CONTRACTOR shall be totally
compatible with COMPANY'S software and equipment. CONTRACTOR must insure that
all computer files and other data and disks given to COMPANY, and all computer
files used in the field, are virus-free by routine, daily use of a virus-
detecting program.
9.7 Import Requirements. Contractor shall be responsible for securing all
-------------------
necessary import licenses and permits and for complying with all applicable
customs and other import requirements applicable to the Construction Work.
ARTICLE 10
CHANGES, ADDITIONS, AND OMISSIONS IN THE WORK
10.1 KEEPING ACCOUNT OF CHANGES. The Fab 30 Preliminary Design, including
--------------------------
all documents which have been agreed upon by the parties on or before the date
of execution of this Contract and that define modifications to the Fab 30
Preliminary Design, shall serve as the basis for keeping account of changes,
additions, and omissions in the Facility. The effect of all changes, additions
and omissions on the Project Budget and the Project Schedule shall be accounted
for separately so that a record will be maintained of the initial Project Budget
and the initial Project Schedule. As to any change, addition or omission that
must be incorporated into the Project Budget or Project Schedule, the effect on
the Project Budget and Project Schedule (and on CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted Fee) will
be reflected in the document reflecting COMPANY'S approval of the change,
addition or omission (the "CHANGE ORDER").
10.2 PROPOSING AND APPROVING CHANGES. Both parties hereto may from time to
-------------------------------
time suggest modifications in the design of the Facility or the performance of
the Construction Work which (i) involve changes or additions in the construction
(which as used in this Article 10 shall mean materials or work to be performed)
----------
required by the Contract, or (ii) involve the omission of certain work or
materials from said construction, or (iii) involve acceleration or delay of the
milestones for substantial completion of one or more Construction Phases set
forth in the Project Schedule. However, no such change, addition, or omission
shall be made in the construction unless authorized in writing by COMPANY at the
time when the suggested modification in design or performance of the work or
acceleration or delay of the Project Schedule is under consideration except in
an emergency endangering life or property. In case COMPANY authorizes any such
change, addition, or omission as aforesaid, COMPANY shall execute a Change
Order, and CONTRACTOR shall incorporate same in the final construction unless
CONTRACTOR can show, and it is mutually agreed, that said change, addition, or
omission would (a) place CONTRACTOR'S guarantees in jeopardy, (b) make it
impossible for CONTRACTOR to comply with other provisions of the Contract
relating to the original construction not disturbed by nor involved in said
change, addition, or omission, or (c) make the Facility or any part thereof
unsafe. If it is agreed that said change, addition, or omission would jeopardize
CONTRACTOR'S guarantees or would make it impossible for CONTRACTOR to comply
with said other provisions of the Contract (but would not make the Facility or
any part thereof unsafe), COMPANY may, at its option, authorize the substitution
of mutually acceptable revised guarantees or mutually acceptable revised
provisions for the existing ones and insist that the change, addition, or
omission be made in the construction. However, if it is agreed that said change,
addition, or omission would make the Facility or any part thereof unsafe and
cannot be satisfactorily modified to eliminate the hazard to safety, the matter
shall be dropped. In order to be binding on COMPANY and CONTRACTOR, (x) every
Change Order, whether or not it increases or decreases the Budgeted Cost of the
Work or accelerates or delays the Project Schedule,
24
<PAGE>
must be signed by two COMPANY Representatives who are expressly authorized to
approve all changes, additions or omissions, and (y) every Change Order that
increases or decreases the Budgeted Cost of the Work must be signed by the two
COMPANY Representatives referred to in Clause (x) of this sentence, and also by
----------
the single COMPANY Representative having express authority to approve increases
or decreases in the Budgeted Cost of the Work and (z) every Change Order,
whether or not it increases or decreases the Budgeted Cost of the Work or
accelerates or delays the Project Schedule, must be signed by CONTRACTOR'S
Representative. COMPANY shall negotiate in good faith all of CONTRACTOR'S
requests to change the Project Budget or the Project Schedule.
10.3 EFFECT OF CHANGE ORDER ON COST AND TIMING. Whenever either party
-----------------------------------------
proposes a change, addition, or omission which would make the Facility more or
less expensive than the construction required by the Contract, or would
accelerate or delay the milestones for substantial completion of one or more
Construction Phases set forth in the Project Schedule or accelerate or extend
the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility (defined in Section
-------
14.1 below) or otherwise affect the critical path set forth in the Project
- ----
Schedule, CONTRACTOR shall thereupon submit a detailed estimate to COMPANY
showing what effect the proposed change, addition, or omission is estimated to
have on the cost of the Facility reflected in the Project Budget and on the time
for substantial completion and final completion of the Facility or any
Construction Phase reflected in the Project Schedule or otherwise have on the
critical path; and, if COMPANY does not concur therewith, the parties hereto
shall cooperate to develop an estimate on which both parties do agree. However,
it shall be understood that the aforesaid estimates are intended to be for
COMPANY'S use in considering the desirability of the proposed change, addition,
or omission and for use in determining the adjustment in CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted
Fee (defined in Section 16.3.1 below) on account thereof or in determining an
--------------
acceleration or extension of the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The
Facility or of the latest date by which the Facility shall be finally completed
(as set forth in Section 14.2) or a revision of the Project Schedule -- and for
-------------
such use only. If such change, addition, or omission is authorized by COMPANY
and actually incorporated in the construction, then: (x) all costs added or
eliminated thereby which are of the character of Reimbursable Costs shall be
added to or deducted from the Budgeted Cost of the Work (defined in Section
-------
16.3.1) set forth in the Project Budget, and any adjustment of CONTRACTOR'S
- ------
Budgeted Fee by reason of such changes, additions, or omissions shall be
effected by COMPANY and CONTRACTOR pursuant to Section 16.10 and shall be
-------------
subject to the provisions of this Contract relating thereto, and (y) any
acceleration or delay in the progress of the Construction Work that affects the
critical path as set forth in the Project Schedule shall be deducted from or
added to the Project Schedule, and any adjustment in the Latest Date For
Substantial Completion Of The Facility and the latest date by which the Facility
shall be finally completed shall be mutually agreed upon by COMPANY and
CONTRACTOR. Agreements as to the amount and nature (i.e., whether an increase
or a decrease) of the effect on the Budgeted Cost of the Work set forth in the
Project Budget or on the critical path set forth in the Project Schedule or the
Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility or the latest date by
which the Facility shall be finally completed shall be made when the change,
addition, or omission constituting the basis for the adjustment is under
consideration; and said agreements shall be confirmed in writing by COMPANY'S
Representatives and CONTRACTOR'S Representative when the change, addition, or
omission is authorized. A proposal for a change, addition, or omission shall be
accepted, rejected, or returned for correction within the time periods specified
in Article 5 for review and approval of Design Documents or such other time as
---------
the parties may mutually agree upon in any particular instance. No extension of
time shall be granted in connection with a change, addition or omission unless
the change, addition or omission affects the critical path or extends the amount
of time required to substantially complete or finally complete the Facility as
described in Section 14.3.
------------
25
<PAGE>
10.4 NO EFFECT ON CONTRACTOR'S OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES. Unless expressly
------------------------------------------------
agreed to the contrary and confirmed in writing at the time when any change,
addition, or omission is authorized, it is understood that with respect to all
changes, additions and omissions in the Construction Work, and all modifications
in the design of the Facility or work thereon from that described in the final
Design Documents, Project Schedule and Project Budget, (i) any and all work and
materials required for said change or addition (or, in the case of an omission,
required to accomplish said omission) shall be subject to the same warranties
and guarantees as the balance of the work and materials covered by the Contract;
and (ii) all other obligations and responsibilities of CONTRACTOR with respect
to the construction originally planned shall be held to apply to the work and
materials required for, or to accomplish, said change, addition, or omission.
ARTICLE 11
INSPECTION AND TESTING DURING CONSTRUCTION
11.1 CONTRACTOR'S SHOP INSPECTIONS. CONTRACTOR shall inspect at its own
-----------------------------
shops or at the shops of subcontractors and vendors those materials for the
Facility that are designated in the Contract Documents to be tested by non-
destructive means pursuant to a testing plan that will be developed by COMPANY
and CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall insure that the testing plan is developed
prior to CONTRACTOR'S purchasing materials or equipment that would reasonably
require testing or entering into any subcontracts or purchase orders.
CONTRACTOR shall upon COMPANY'S request provide the test results to COMPANY.
CONTRACTOR shall also make necessary field inspections of materials after same
are delivered to the job site and while field fabrication operations are being
performed thereon.
11.2 MEASUREMENTS AND SUITABILITY. CONTRACTOR'S inspection shall in all
----------------------------
cases include making all necessary measurements and records for establishing the
suitability and soundness of the materials.
11.3 INSPECTION REPORTS. CONTRACTOR shall furnish COMPANY or COMPANY'S

Inspector (defined in Section 11.5 below) if one is appointed, six (6) copies
------------
each of (i) certified results of all tests, (ii) certificates of inspection, and
(iii) routine inspection reports for all materials which CONTRACTOR inspects.
These shall in each case be delivered to COMPANY or COMPANY'S Inspector as soon
as possible (preferably, within six (6) working days) after CONTRACTOR'S
inspection of the materials involved is made.
11.4 COMPANY'S INSPECTIONS. COMPANY shall have the right to inspect, at
---------------------
its own expense, any and all materials which CONTRACTOR furnishes and provides
for the Facility; and, at its election, may exercise said right either at
CONTRACTOR'S shops or, subject to Section 11.5 below, subcontractors' or
------------
vendors' shops or at the Site or both at CONTRACTOR'S shops or, subject to
Section 11.5 below, subcontractors' or vendors' shops and at the Site.
- ------------
CONTRACTOR shall, and shall require its subcontractors and vendors to, at all
times, provide COMPANY and COMPANY'S Inspector (defined in Section 11.5 below)
------------
with safe access to the Construction Work wherever it is in preparation or
progress, including maintenance of temporary and permanent access, and
CONTRACTOR shall, and shall require its subcontractors and vendors to, at all
times, furnish COMPANY'S Inspector sufficient, safe, and proper facilities for
the inspection of work that they perform and materials that they furnish; and
shall also furnish COMPANY'S Inspector with test reports, analyses, and the like
pertaining to the materials involved in the inspection not later than the times
when such work and materials are submitted to COMPANY'S Inspector for
inspection. CONTRACTOR shall furnish, without extra charge, the necessary test
pieces and samples, including facilities and labor for obtaining the same, as
detailed in the specifications. When required, CONTRACTOR shall furnish
certificates of tests of materials made at the point
26
<PAGE>
of manufacture by a recognized testing laboratory. COMPANY, COMPANY'S Inspector
or any other authorized Representative of COMPANY, may reject improper,
inferior, defective, or unsuitable workmanship or materials at any stage of the
Construction Work; and, in accordance with the provisions of Article 19 hereof,
----------
all workmanship and materials so rejected shall be repaired or replaced
forthwith by CONTRACTOR. If any work should be covered up without approval or
consent of COMPANY, it shall, if required by COMPANY, be uncovered for
examination at CONTRACTOR'S expense. Reexamination of questioned Construction
Work, not specifically required to be tested or approved, may be ordered by
COMPANY and, if so ordered, the Construction Work shall be uncovered by
CONTRACTOR. If such Construction Work is found to be in accordance with the
Contract Documents, COMPANY will pay the cost of reexamination and replacement.
If such Construction Work is found to be not in accordance with the Contract
Documents, CONTRACTOR shall correct the defective Construction Work, and the
cost of reexamination and correction of the defective Construction Work shall be
paid by CONTRACTOR. Any defective Construction Work, performed or furnished by
CONTRACTOR, that may be discovered by COMPANY before the Final Acceptance of the
Facility or before final payment has been made, shall be removed and replaced or
patched, in a manner as approved by COMPANY at the expense of CONTRACTOR and
prior to Final Acceptance and payment for all work. COMPANY'S exercise of its
right of inspection shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of any of its obligations set
forth herein above in this Article 11.
----------
11.5 COMPANY'S INSPECTOR. COMPANY may select one or more persons to act as
-------------------
its Representative in matters of inspection ("COMPANY'S INSPECTOR"); and
COMPANY'S Inspector shall have free entry to the shops of CONTRACTOR, and to the
Site at all times while any work on the Facility or on materials therefor is
being performed. CONTRACTOR shall direct its subcontractors and vendors to
provide such free entry to the shops of any subcontractors or vendors for
COMPANY'S Inspector. All work and materials furnished under the Contract shall
be subject to the approval of COMPANY'S Inspector, but his approval shall not
relieve CONTRACTOR of any responsibility for improper, inferior, defective, or
unsuitable workmanship or materials. Furthermore, no failure or omission of
COMPANY'S Inspector to condemn any improper, inferior, defective, or unsuitable
workmanship or materials shall release CONTRACTOR from its obligations to
correct same as soon as discovered. Neither COMPANY nor COMPANY'S Inspector
shall have any right under Section 11.4 or this Section 11.5 to direct
------------ ------------
subcontractors or vendors to take or omit to take any action. COMPANY and
COMPANY'S Inspector shall deal only with CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR shall be
responsible for determining whether or not any subcontractor or vendor is
required to take or omit to take any action and for determining the nature of
any action that must be taken or omitted by any subcontractor or vendor.
CONTRACTOR shall assure that every subcontractor and vendor is aware of these
limitations on COMPANY and COMPANY'S Inspector.
11.6 INSPECTION OF FABRICATION. Except in cases where COMPANY shall have
-------------------------
previously waived in writing its inspection at the point of manufacture or
supply, CONTRACTOR shall give COMPANY'S Inspector not less than ten (10) working
days' notice in advance of the start of fabrication, and such additional notices
as he may need regarding the progress of fabrication and intended shipping dates
for materials which CONTRACTOR is to furnish hereunder in order to allow him
ample time in which to witness any part of the fabrication or manufacture, make
any measurements, witness any tests and carry out any other inspection which he
deems advisable. No materials which COMPANY inspects at the point of
manufacture or supply shall be shipped without the prior written approval of
COMPANY'S Inspector. COMPANY'S Inspector shall grant or deny his approval,
based upon his good faith business judgment that the requirements of the
Contract have been achieved, within a reasonable period of time. If COMPANY'S
Inspector fails to approve or disapprove inspected materials within a reasonable
period of time, CONTRACTOR shall have
27
<PAGE>
the right to give COMPANY'S Inspector 24-hours notice of such failure in
accordance with Section 14.4.4.
--------------
11.7 TESTING. CONTRACTOR shall make or cause to be made all chemical,
-------
physical, hydrostatic, air, structural, magnetic, radiographic, welders'
qualifications, and other tests required by the Contract Documents or by
specifications approved by COMPANY which apply to the Facility, in accordance
with approved Design Documents and other Contract Documents. In addition, if
any question shall arise as to the acceptability of any materials for the

------------
Critical Path Method logic and updating the information contained in the Project
Schedule to show the respective dates upon which CONTRACTOR proposes to commence
and complete engineering, drafting, purchasing, and construction on each
Construction Phase. Each Construction Phase will be defined to reflect the
logical activities required to execute the work. This definition shall be in
sufficient detail to allow monitoring of progress on a daily basis. Each
schedule will be developed reflecting a planned logical approach which will
identify critical path, near term activities in detail, and activities that are
farther out on the schedule in broader terms, if they cannot be completely
defined. As the work progresses, the schedules will be continuously refined, on
a monthly basis, to define detailed short interval activities planned for the
next twelve week period. Each schedule activity or line item will be identified
by CONTRACTOR or the responsible subcontractor, along with the estimate of the
quantity of units of work to be accomplished or installed, man hours planned per
unit, and scheduled progress anticipated on each of said items in order to
complete the entire Facility within the contract time in accordance with the
Project Schedule. Each schedule activity or line item will be identified as a
direct work or indirect work activity and have the required resources, material,
and labor costs associated with the activity identified separately.
12.2 DELIVERY OF SCHEDULES TO COMPANY. The schedules described in Section
-------------------------------- -------
12.1 shall be made available to COMPANY as soon as practical.
- ----
12.3 PERIODIC PROGRESS REPORTS. Subsequent to the release of the schedules
-------------------------
referred to in Section 12.1 above, CONTRACTOR shall furnish COMPANY monthly
------------
progress reports in a form satisfactory to COMPANY. Progress reports will
update progress schedules and will indicate actual man hours expended by
activity and show the work units or man hours of progress earned in relation to
the planned total amount of work or man hours in each of the various
subdivisions shown in said schedules which CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors
have completed up to the last day of each reporting period. The monthly
progress reports will indicate actual progress accomplished during the month.
The beginning and cut off dates of the monthly progress reports will be the same
dates as used for CONTRACTOR'S monthly progress billing and as used for the
Project Cost Report referred to in Section 13.1 below. COMPANY shall have the
------------
right to require CONTRACTOR to submit simplified interim progress reports on a
weekly or bi-weekly basis in such other format or formats as COMPANY may
require. Additionally, CONTRACTOR shall give COMPANY interim notice of all
significant changes in the progress of the work.
12.4 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. CONTRACTOR shall furnish COMPANY, by mid-day
-----------------------
of the first working day following the last day worked, a copy of CONTRACTOR'S
senior Project construction superintendent's daily works report

covering materials for the Facility.
ARTICLE 13
ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS
13.1 DETAILED ACCOUNTS. CONTRACTOR shall keep full and detailed accounts
-----------------
and records and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial
management under this Agreement. The accounting and control systems shall be
satisfactory to COMPANY. A monthly Project Cost Report will be issued by
CONTRACTOR with beginning and cut off dates that are the same as the monthly
progress report referred to in Section 12.3 above.
------------
13.2 SEMATECH MODEL. Accounts will be maintained in such detail as to
--------------
comply with and directly relate to the SEMATECH Facilities Cost Model, current
as of the date of this Agreement. The accounts will also be maintained to
directly relate to the schedule activities required in Article 12 above.
----------
13.3 TAX ACCOUNTING. All value added taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, excise
--------------
taxes and other taxes charged to COMPANY'S account shall be separately stated
and broken out as separate line items on all invoices, Applications For Payment
and accounting reports. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors and vendors
to comply with this requirement.
13.4 AUDIT BY COMPANY. The COMPANY, and any Person retained by COMPANY to
----------------
act as one of the COMPANY'S Representatives and COMPANY'S accountants shall have
the right at any time, including without limitation following final payment to
CONTRACTOR, to audit the books and records of CONTRACTOR, and of all
subcontractors and vendors with whom CONTRACTOR has entered into a subcontract
or purchase order on a cost reimbursable basis, and shall be afforded access to
CONTRACTOR'S records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts,
subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda, and other data relating to
this Agreement and to the Project, and CONTRACTOR shall preserve these for a
period of three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be
required by tax law. In the event COMPANY conducts an audit of CONTRACTOR'S
Project cost accounting information, and such audit reveals that CONTRACTOR has
billed COMPANY on any one billing an amount which exceeds the actual amount
which CONTRACTOR should have billed COMPANY on such billing, by five percent
(5%) or more of the amount Contractor should have billed COMPANY, then
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for reimbursing COMPANY for the cost of the
audit. In other events, COMPANY shall be responsible for the cost of the audit.
In all events, CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for reimbursing COMPANY for any
overpayment, regardless of the amount of the overpayment. In the event that the
audit reveals that CONTRACTOR has under-billed COMPANY, COMPANY shall reimburse
CONTRACTOR for the amount under-billed.
13.5 AUDIT OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND VENDORS. CONTRACTOR shall provide in each
-----------------------------------
subcontract entered into with a subcontractor and in each purchase order entered
into with a vendor on a cost reimbursable, service or unit price basis the right
for COMPANY or COMPANY'S Representatives to audit all books, records, accounts
and other data relating to Reimbursable Costs or to work of any kind done by the
subcontractor or materials provided by the vendor in respect of the Project.
CONTRACTOR will not enter into any subcontract or
29
<PAGE>
purchase order on a cost reimbursable basis which does not contain this right to
audit.
ARTICLE 14
TIME OF COMPLETION
14.1 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE. The Project Schedule shall set forth
---------------------------
milestone dates which shall be the dates that the parties determine shall be the
dates by which the Facility and each Construction Phase and other aspects of the
Project shall be substantially completed as described in Section 15.1. The
------------
latest date for substantial completion of the Facility (excluding substantial
completion of the Site Development Construction Phase) shall be 15 May, 1998, as
adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (the "LATEST DATE FOR
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE FACILITY"). CONTRACTOR shall prosecute all phases
of the work to be performed hereunder with all possible promptness and diligence
and shall use its best efforts to substantially complete the entire Facility and
each Construction Phase on or ahead of the Project Schedule, but CONTRACTOR
shall substantially complete the Facility not later than the Latest Date For
Substantial Completion Of The Facility. The Latest Date For Substantial
Completion Of The Facility may be extended only for COMPANY'S delay or for force
-----
majeure pursuant to Section 14.3 or for changes, additions or omissions in the
- ------- ------------
Project pursuant to Section 10.3 and Section 14.3.
------------ ------------
14.2 LATEST DATE FOR FINAL COMPLETION. The Project Schedule shall set
--------------------------------
forth the date upon which the Facility shall be finally completed (as described
in Section 15.2.1). As of the date of this Agreement, the latest date by which
--------------
the Facility shall be finally completed shall be June 15, 1998.
14.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME.
-----------------------------
14.3.1 DELAYS CAUSED BY CHANGE ORDER OR BY COMPANY OR BY FORCE MAJEURE.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If any change, addition or omission would affect the critical path set forth in
the Project Schedule or extend the amount of time required to substantially
complete or finally complete the Facility, the effect on the Project Schedule
and on the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility and on the
latest date by which the Facility shall be finally completed as set forth in
Section 14.2 shall be acknowledged in writing and incorporated into the Project
- ------------
Schedule by approved Change Order in accordance with Section 10.3 above. If
------------
CONTRACTOR is delayed in the progress of the Construction Work by any act or
neglect of COMPANY, including any delay by COMPANY in commenting upon or
approving Design Documents or in granting or denying its consent or approval,
and such delay would affect the critical path, CONTRACTOR shall, within 72 hours
of the start of the occurrence, give notice to COMPANY of the cause of the
potential delay, the reasons why the delay will affect the critical path set
forth in the Project Schedule and an estimate of the duration of the delay and
the possible time extension involved. Within seven (7) working days after the
cause of delay has been remedied, in the case of a delay caused by COMPANY'S act
or neglect, CONTRACTOR shall give notice to COMPANY of any actual time extension
requested as a result of the aforementioned occurrence and any additional costs
incurred as a result of such delay. The corresponding change in the Project
Schedule shall be implemented by an approved Change Order pursuant to Section
-------
10.3 above. Failure to give either of the above notices shall be sufficient
- ----
ground for denial of an extension of time hereunder on account of any act or
neglect of COMPANY. If CONTRACTOR is delayed in the progress of the
Construction Work by force majeure, and such delay would affect the critical

ARTICLE 15
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE
15.1 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. The Facility or a system within the Facility
----------------------
shall be substantially complete when (i) construction of the Facility or of such
system shall have been sufficiently completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents and temporary occupancy permits have been issued, so COMPANY can
occupy or utilize the Facility or such system for the use for which it is
intended, (ii) all Construction Work (including Punch List items as described in
Section 15.2.1, other than minor cosmetic matters which do not require the shut
- --------------
down of any system to correct) shall have been completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents, (iii) CONTRACTOR shall have fully performed its obligations
under Article 24 hereof, and (iv) the System Performance Test (as defined in
----------
Article 25) for such system shall have been completed pursuant to Article 25.
- ---------- ----------
CONTRACTOR shall give COMPANY written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to
the dates when each system and each Construction Phase within the Facility and
when the entire Facility shall have been substantially completed, except for
conducting the System Performance Test for such system, and COMPANY'S
Representative or Inspector shall inspect the Construction Work. If COMPANY'S
Inspector confirms that the system within the Facility is ready for the System
Performance Test, then the parties shall prepare for and conduct the System
Performance Test. Substantial completion of any system within the Facility
shall not have occurred until after completion of the System Performance Test
for such system and after CONTRACTOR shall have fulfilled all of its obligations
with respect to the System Performance Test for such system. COMPANY agrees to
start the System Performance Test for each system within a reasonable period of
time after CONTRACTOR turns such system over to COMPANY for testing, except that
if COMPANY is prevented from doing so by any cause or causes for which
CONTRACTOR is responsible, then said reasonable period of time shall be extended
by such period of time as is attributable to such cause or causes. Substantial
completion of the Facility shall not have occurred until after completion of the
System Performance Tests for all systems constituting the Facility and after
CONTRACTOR shall have fulfilled all of its obligations with respect to the
System Performance Tests for all systems constituting the Facility.
15.2 Final Completion.
----------------
15.2.1 COMPLETION OF PUNCH LIST ITEMS. Following substantial
------------------------------
completion of each system within the Facility and of all of the Construction
Work under this Contract, including without limitation, completion of the System
Performance Tests, CONTRACTOR shall notify COMPANY, in writing, that it has
substantially completed each system or the Facility and shall request final
inspection of such system or of the Facility. Upon receipt of CONTRACTOR'S
request for a final inspection, CONTRACTOR and COMPANY will inspect such system
or the Facility and prepare a list of items not completed or needing repair or
replacement (the "PUNCH LIST"). CONTRACTOR will correct the deficient
Construction Work on the Punch List. This Punch List may not be exhaustive and
the failure to include an item on it does not relieve CONTRACTOR of the
responsibility to complete all of the Construction Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall notify COMPANY in writing when all items on
the Punch List have been completed. If, after
32
<PAGE>
COMPANY'S inspection of the Punch List items, it is found that CONTRACTOR has
not completed all of the items listed, or other Construction Work not listed is
found to be deficient, COMPANY shall prepare a further Punch List and submit to
CONTRACTOR. This list may not be exhaustive and the failure to include an item
on it does not relieve CONTRACTOR of the responsibility to complete all of the
Construction Work in accordance with the Contract. If, after inspection of the
further Punch List items, it is found that CONTRACTOR has not completed all of
the items listed, or other Construction Work not listed is found to be
deficient, the cost of all further inspections required by COMPANY to determine
if the Construction Work has been completed in accordance with the Design
Documents and authorized Change Orders will be charged to CONTRACTOR. Punch
List items that could not lead to malfunction of a system or could not limit any
of such system's functions or could not affect COMPANY'S continuous use of such
system shall not delay COMPANY'S acceptance of such system. COMPANY may have
the beneficial or partial use of a system prior to substantial completion and
acceptance of such system due to Punch List items that affect the system's
functions or the system's ability to meet specifications or Facility criteria,
but such beneficial or partial use shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of its
obligation to correct or complete such Punch List items, shall not trigger the
Warranty Commencement Date (defined in Section 18.1) applicable to such system
------------
and shall not constitute acceptance of such system.
15.2.2 CONTRACTOR'S CERTIFICATION OF COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION WORK.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When CONTRACTOR has completed all of the Construction Work, including the items
of the Punch List(s), on each system or on the Facility, CONTRACTOR shall
certify to COMPANY (i) that such Construction Work has been completed in
accordance with the approved Design Documents and (ii) that all materials and
workmanship are in accordance with the Design Documents. If COMPANY'S
Representative or Inspector agrees with CONTRACTOR'S certification, then such
Construction Work shall be deemed to have been completed. If COMPANY'S
Representative or Inspector disagrees, COMPANY'S Representative or Inspector
shall identify the matters that have not yet been completed, and CONTRACTOR
shall complete such matters. When CONTRACTOR has completed such Construction
Work to COMPANY'S satisfaction, then such Construction Work shall be deemed to
have been completed.

shall release COMPANY from all claims and all liability to CONTRACTOR for all
things done or furnished in connection with the Project, and every act of

this Contract, including without limitation, subsequent audits, and warranties
and guarantees, as herein provided.

--------------------------------------
reimburse Contractor for the items described in Sections 16.2.1 and 16.2.2,
--------------- ------
subject, however, to the following principles.
16.2.4.1 QUALIFYING COSTS. COMPANY shall pay all Reimbursable Costs
----------------
actually incurred that were set forth in the original Project Budget as part of
the original Budgeted Cost of the Work and all additional Reimbursable Costs
actually incurred that were necessary to plan, design, construct, erect,
install, equip, start up, test, calibrate, adjust and turn over the Facility in
accordance with the Contract, assuming proper design and construction. A cost
incurred due to force majeure shall be a Reimbursable Cost. A cost incurred due
to a change in the scope of the work approved by Change Order shall be a
Reimbursable Cost. The cost of procuring and installing a part of the Facility
that was inadvertently omitted (excluding redesign and re-engineering costs)
shall be a Reimbursable Cost. A cost incurred to increase the capacity or size
of a part that was inadvertently designed with a capacity or size insufficient
for the Facility (excluding redesign and re-engineering costs and excluding the
costs of procuring, installing and removing the undersized part) shall be a
Reimbursable Cost. A cost incurred to avoid an unforeseen obstruction, such as
subsurface granite, shall be a Reimbursable Cost. Examples of these and other
costs that qualify as Reimbursable Costs are set forth in Schedule 16.2.4
---------------
attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such examples shall be utilized in the
interpretation and application of the principles set forth in this Section
-------
16.2.4.
- ------
42
<PAGE>
16.2.4.2 NON-QUALIFYING COSTS. Items that otherwise would qualify as
--------------------
Reimbursable Costs shall be excluded from Reimbursable Costs if such costs
duplicate previous work or were incurred to correct errors or omissions.
Injuries to persons at the Site do not qualify as Reimbursable Costs.
Examples of these and other costs excluded from Reimbursable Costs are set
forth in
Schedule 16.2.4. Such examples shall be utilized in the interpretation and
---------------
application of the principles set forth in this Section 16.2.4.
--------------
16.2.4.3 SPECIFIED COSTS. Costs which are specifically identified in
---------------
other provisions of the Contract as being the responsibility of either
COMPANY or CONTRACTOR shall be paid by the responsible party.
16.2.4.4 CHANGES IN PROJECT BUDGET. Additional Reimbursable Costs
-------------------------
incurred as a result of a change in the scope of the work approved by
Change Order shall be added to the Budgeted Cost of the Work. Additional
Reimbursable Costs incurred as a result of an unforeseen event or condition
(excluding price or cost increases) or force majeure shall be paid by
COMPANY and will result in an adjustment of the Budgeted Cost of the Work.
16.3 CONTRACTOR'S FEE. COMPANY shall pay CONTRACTOR a fee (the "FEE")
----------------
which shall consist of the Budgeted Fee set forth in Section 16.3.1 and as
--------------
increased by incentives, if any, earned by CONTRACTOR'S cost savings or as
decreased by overruns, if any, caused by CONTRACTOR'S overruns pursuant
to Section 16.3.2, and adjusted by adjustments in the Fee pursuant to
--------------
Section 16.10.
- -------------
16.3.1 THE FEE. The Budgeted Fee (the "BUDGETED FEE") shall be
-------
DEM8,120,000, adjusted as set forth in Section 16.10 (which does not include
-------------
value added taxes associated with such Fee). At the time that the Project
Budget is finalized prior to commencement of the Construction Work, the total
budgeted Cost of the Work will be determined. That total budgeted Cost of the
Work shall be referred to herein as the "BUDGETED COST OF THE WORK". If the
parties revise the Project Budget due to changes, additions or omissions
pursuant to Section 10.3 or Section 14.3.1 or due to COMPANY'S delay pursuant to
------------ --------------
Section 14.4, the Budgeted Cost of the Work shall also be revised
- ------------
accordingly, but the Budgeted Fee shall only be adjusted in accordance with
Section 16.10. As of the date of this Agreement, the Budgeted Cost of the Work
- -------------
is DEM460,544,936 (which does not include value added taxes associated with
such Fee).
16.3.2 CALCULATE INCENTIVE CHANGES IN FEE. If, upon completion of
----------------------------------
the Project, the actual Cost of the Work equals the Budgeted Cost of the Work,
the Fee shall be the original Budgeted Fee. If, upon completion of the Project,
the actual Cost of the Work is less than the Budgeted Cost of the Work, the Fee
shall be increased by twenty percent (20%) of the amount of savings up to, but
not exceeding a maximum total Fee (i.e., Budgeted Fee plus cost savings) of
---
DEM16,675,000 (which does not include value added taxes associated with such
Fee). For purposes of calculating the foregoing increase in the Fee, if
CONTRACTOR performs directly (i.e., without any subcontractor) the Construction
---
Work for the Clean Room, that portion of the total Budgeted Cost of the Work
attributable to the Construction Work performed directly by CONTRACTOR for the
Clean Room shall be subtracted from the total Budgeted Cost of the Work, and
that portion of the actual Cost of the Work attributable the Construction Work
performed directly by CONTRACTOR for the Clean Room shall be subtracted from the
actual Cost of the Work, so that any savings attributable to the Construction
Work performed directly by CONTRACTOR for the Clean Room shall be excluded in
determining the amount of the savings upon which increases in the Fee are to be
calculated. If, upon completion of the
43
<PAGE>
Project, the actual Cost of the Work exceeds the Budgeted Cost of the Work, the
Fee shall be reduced by twenty percent (20%) of the amount that exceeds the
Budgeted Cost of the Work, until the amount of the reduction equals fifty
percent (50%) of the Budgeted Fee. From that point further, there shall be no
more reductions in the Fee.
16.3.3 FEE FOR SERVICES. The parties intend that all costs and
----------------
expenses incurred by CONTRACTOR in connection with the Project not specifically
provided to be reimbursed to CONTRACTOR in Section 16.2 including, but not by
------------
way of limitation, CONTRACTOR'S profit and the cost of performing CONTRACTOR'S
guarantees and warranties, shall be covered by the Budgeted Fee.
16.4 TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT. Except for such payments as may become due
---------------------
CONTRACTOR under other provisions of this Contract, the summation of the
Reimbursable Costs enumerated in Section 16.2 above and the Fee set forth in
------------
Section 16.3 above shall constitute the total Contract Amount which COMPANY
- ------------
shall pay to CONTRACTOR for the true and faithful performance of all of
CONTRACTOR'S obligations under the Contract.
16.5 COSTS OF ALTERATIONS. CONTRACTOR'S charges under Section 16.2 above
-------------------- ------------
shall not include charges of the kinds covered therein incurred by CONTRACTOR
for making the alterations, adjustments, repairs, replacements and other
corrections described in Article 19 hereof. Moreover, in the event the costs of
----------
such work are compensated to CONTRACTOR by insurance carried hereunder, there
shall be no adjustment made in CONTRACTOR'S Fee as a consequence of any
insurance proceeds paid to CONTRACTOR. All alterations, adjustments, repairs,
replacements and other corrections which CONTRACTOR may be required to make on
the Facility in fulfilling the guarantees set forth in Article 18 hereof after
----------
COMPANY takes over the Facility for operation or use shall be borne by
CONTRACTOR without reimbursement from COMPANY. Furthermore, in cases where
COMPANY makes any alterations, adjustments, repairs, replacements or other
corrections of the kind herein above considered in this Section 16.5 with its
------------
own forces as provided for in Section 19.4 hereof, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse
------------
COMPANY for the actual costs to COMPANY of all materials and labor used therefor
and all other expenses such as overhead, taxes, insurance, freight, equipment
rental and the like applicable thereto.
16.6 RECORDS OF REIMBURSABLE COSTS. Following each month's work hereunder,
-----------------------------
CONTRACTOR shall prepare a summary of the total hours expended by job or worker
classification of all employees who have performed work hereunder during the
preceding month whose time is chargeable to COMPANY under the provisions of
Section 16.2 above. (CONTRACTOR shall maintain individual time cards and rate
- ------------
sheets for all of its personnel who have performed work hereunder showing the
time actually spent by each individual as part of CONTRACTOR'S records of
Reimbursable Costs.) CONTRACTOR shall transmit copies of this summary as soon
as possible thereafter to COMPANY'S Project Manager. All fringe benefits
included in labor charges shall be accounted for as a separate line item. In
addition, CONTRACTOR shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all other
Reimbursable Costs chargeable to COMPANY under Section 16.2 above. All material
------------
costs shall be verified by the actual payment vouchers. In case any subcontract
is let, or purchase is made, on a "cost-plus" basis pursuant to Section 9.5
-----------
hereof, CONTRACTOR shall, if COMPANY so requests, make an audit of all
expenditures made thereunder prior to final settlement with such subcontractor
or vendor. Furthermore, CONTRACTOR shall provide COMPANY'S Inspector and other
Representatives continuous access to the Site and other locations where work on
this Contract is being performed and shall give COMPANY'S Inspector and other
Representatives and auditors access to CONTRACTOR'S books and other records at
any and all reasonable times to the extent necessary to determine the accuracy
of all of CONTRACTOR'S charges entered into the accounts referred to above and
the number of hours entered in
44
<PAGE>
the summaries referred to in the first sentence of this Section 16.6. CONTRACTOR
------------
shall furnish COMPANY with such statements, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and
other information as may be required to enable COMPANY to audit CONTRACTOR'S
books and other records. All time cards for time chargeable to COMPANY in the
summaries referred to in the first sentence of this Section 16.6 must bear the
------------
signature of the person's department head or division head. Also, any "cost-
plus" subcontract or purchase order which CONTRACTOR may (with COMPANY'S prior
written consent) enter into in connection with its Construction Work hereunder
shall contain provisions (i) requiring that accurate and detailed accounts be
kept of the Reimbursable Costs thereunder, (ii) permitting the Representatives
and auditors of CONTRACTOR and COMPANY to have access for audit purposes at any
and all reasonable times to the subcontractor's or vendor's books and other
records pertaining to costs thereunder, and (iii) requiring that each such
subcontractor or vendor furnish CONTRACTOR and COMPANY (if requested) with such
statements, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and other information as may be needed
to enable CONTRACTOR and COMPANY to audit the books and records pertaining to
said costs.
16.7 DISCOUNTS AND REFUNDS. CONTRACTOR shall promptly apply for and obtain
---------------------
all discounts (including discounts due to payment of bills on a "cash" basis),
refunds, deductions (including tax collection allowances) and the like to which
CONTRACTOR may be entitled with respect to the items charged to COMPANY under
this Article 16. COMPANY shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of each
----------
such discount, refund, deduction and the like and CONTRACTOR shall make
reasonable and timely efforts to see that they are secured.
16.8 SURPLUS. COMPANY shall be entitled to all surplus materials, surplus
-------
construction supplies, and surplus items for which it shall have reimbursed
CONTRACTOR at actual cost. Upon completion of its Construction Work hereunder,
CONTRACTOR shall remove all of said materials, supplies, and items to places of
storage or disposal to be designated by COMPANY; however, if requested by
COMPANY, CONTRACTOR shall make a reasonable effort to arrange with vendors to
take back (or otherwise dispose of) such left over items and if successful,
shall credit COMPANY with the amounts refunded or credited by vendors. The
amounts of such refunds or credits obtained from vendors for returning such left
over items shall in each instance be subject to COMPANY'S approval. As to those
surplus materials and supplies that are not taken back by the vendors,
CONTRACTOR shall, to the extent requested by COMPANY, endeavor to sell the same
to third parties subject to COMPANY'S prior approval as to the amounts to be
received therefor. CONTRACTOR shall use its best efforts, consistent with
meeting its obligations under the Contract, to keep surplus materials to a
minimum. In those instances where because of delivery instructions, CONTRACTOR
finds it necessary to order materials on an estimated basis prior to completing
the engineering design, CONTRACTOR shall review such orders promptly after the
design is completed and adjust the quantities involved to conform to actual
material take-off. After its field operations begin, CONTRACTOR shall make a
periodic review of materials on hand and on order for the purpose of identifying
any surplus materials that are beyond its needs. CONTRACTOR shall furnish
COMPANY reports listing any such surplus materials thus disclosed and showing
its recommendations as to whether the surplus should be returned to vendors for
credit or made available for sale to other parties. COMPANY shall promptly
review such reports and advise CONTRACTOR as to the actions to be taken with
respect to disposal of surplus materials.
16.9 LUMP SUM SUBCONTRACT. It is agreed that in those instances where
--------------------
COMPANY feels that it would be in its best interests to have CONTRACTOR
subcontract any of the field work hereunder on a lump-sum price basis instead of
having such work performed by CONTRACTOR'S forces on the basis herein provided
for, COMPANY shall have the right to require CONTRACTOR to do so.
45
<PAGE>
Costs of the kinds covered in Section 16.2.1 above that are incurred by
--------------
CONTRACTOR in connection with field work performed under lump sum subcontracts
referred to in this Section 16.9 shall merge with or be reflected by the
------------
charges under said lump sum subcontracts. Provided, however, that the amount
-------- -------
of any lump sum subcontract shall exclude applicable value added taxes
(including the Import Turnover Tax) and other applicable taxes and all value
added taxes and other applicable taxes shall be calculated and identified
separately on all invoices from a subcontractor under a lump sum contract and on
CONTRACTOR'S Application for Payment.
16.10 ADJUSTMENT IN FEE. The Fee is firm and shall not be subject to
-----------------
adjustment except (i) in cases where it is mutually agreed that CONTRACTOR'S
services and general overhead costs are significantly increased as a result of
an act or omission of COMPANY not authorized by the Contract or if the Facility
is destroyed or suffers major damage and CONTRACTOR is required to rebuild or
repair same pursuant to Article 22 hereof, or (ii) if major changes, additions
----------
or omissions are made in the scope of the work pursuant to Section 10.2 and
------------
approved by Change Order or (iii) if it is determined that restructuring of the
Fee would be in the best interest of COMPANY and CONTRACTOR agrees to such
restructuring. A major change, addition or omission in the scope of the work
shall not be construed to have occurred unless it involves a change in the scope
of the work that increases or decreases the Budgeted Cost of the Work by more
than twenty percent (20%). In the event of a major change, addition or omission
in the scope of the work as described in Clause (ii) of this Section, the
Budgeted Fee shall be adjusted according to the following formula: (a) the
original Budgeted Fee shall be divided by the original Budgeted Cost of the
Work, and the quotient of such division is herein referred to as the "ORIGINAL
MULTIPLIER"; (b) the Original Multiplier shall be multiplied by 0.75, and the
product of such multiplication is herein referred to as the "ADJUSTED
MULTIPLIER"; (c) that portion of the increase or decrease in the Budgeted Cost
of the Work that exceeds 20% of the then current Budgeted Cost of the Work shall
be determined: (d) that portion of the increase or decrease in the Budgeted Cost
of the Work that exceeds 20% of the then current Budgeted Cost of the Work shall
be multiplied by the Adjusted Multiplier; and (e) the product of the
multiplication in Clause (d) shall be added to or subtracted from the Budgeted
Fee. For example, as an illustration only, if the original Budgeted Cost of the
Work is $1,000,000, the original Budgeted Fee is $10,000 and the scope of the
work is increased so that the Budgeted Cost of the Work is now $1,300,000, the
Budgeted Fee would be adjusted as follows:
(A) 10,000/1,000,000 = 0.01;
(B) 0.01 x 0.75 = 0.0075;
(C) $1,000,000 x 0.20 = $200,000;
$1,300,000 - $1,200,000 = $100,000;
(D) $100,000 x 0.0075 = $750;
(E) $10,000 + $750 = $10,750.
======
Upon the occurrence of an event described in Clause (i) or Clause (iii) of this
---------- ------------
Section, any increase or decrease in the Fee shall be mutually agreed to by the
parties, and such agreement shall be evidenced in writing. If there is any
increase or decrease in the Fee, the Budgeted Fee shall be adjusted accordingly.
ARTICLE 17
TERMS OF PAYMENT
17.1 PAYMENT OF CONTRACT AMOUNT. Based upon Applications for Payment
--------------------------
46
<PAGE>
submitted to COMPANY by CONTRACTOR, COMPANY shall make progress payments on
account of the Contract Amount to CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Article 17. The
----------
period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month
ending on the last day of the month. In all instances, the period covered by
the Application for Payment must coincide with the corresponding period set
forth in the Project Schedule. Near the end of each calendar month, CONTRACTOR
shall prepare a fully itemized Application for Payment showing in detail and as
completely as possible (i) invoices actually received from subcontractors,
vendors and other third parties and expenses and charges actually paid for
Reimbursable Costs chargeable to COMPANY under the provisions of Section 16.2
------------
hereof (less sums for which CONTRACTOR has previously received reimbursement);
and (ii) the portion of CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted Fee that is then payable to
CONTRACTOR, as stated in Section 17.2 below. The Application for Payment shall
------------
show the actual mathematical calculations by which such portion of the Budgeted
Fee was determined. The Application for Payment shall be broken down by
Reimbursable Costs and Budgeted Fee attributable to each Construction Phase.
Each Application for Payment will show the total hours worked by employees in
each classification set forth in Schedule 16.2.1.1 multiplied by the
corresponding hourly rate in Schedule 16.2.1.1. As soon as each such
Application for Payment shall have been prepared, CONTRACTOR shall submit it to
COMPANY along with all substantiating invoices, payrolls, petty cash accounts,
freight bills, etc., not previously submitted and, at the same time, shall also
send COMPANY an invoice for the amount by which the summation of the amounts
entered in the aforesaid Application for Payment exceeds the aggregate of all
payments previously made by COMPANY under the provisions of this Section 17.1
------------
and Section 17.2. Each Application for Payment shall show (1) Reimbursable
------------
Costs for the Project and for each Construction Phase and (2) the percentage
completion of the Construction Work for the Project and for each Construction
Phase as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment.
CONTRACTOR shall certify to COMPANY the aforesaid percentages of completion,
and COMPANY and COMPANY'S Inspector shall have the right to verify such
percentages. Each Application for Payment and the progress payment made by
COMPANY to CONTRACTOR shall exclude all amounts that CONTRACTOR retains from its
subcontractors (such amount retained being hereinafter referred to as the
"SUBCONTRACT RETAINAGE"). Applications for Payment shall show the portion of
Reimbursable Costs properly allocable to materials delivered and suitably stored
at the Site for subsequent incorporation in the Facility ("STORED MATERIALS")
and shall show that the requirements of Section 17.7 have been satisfied as a
------------
condition precedent to payments for Stored Materials. In taking action on
CONTRACTOR'S Applications for Payment, COMPANY shall be entitled to rely on the
accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by CONTRACTOR and shall
not be deemed to represent that COMPANY has made a detailed examination, audit
or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted or other supporting
data. In no event shall any Application for Payment seek reimbursement of
Reimbursable Costs previously reimbursed to CONTRACTOR or payment of any part of
the Budgeted Fee previously paid to CONTRACTOR. Subject to the provisions of
Article 31 hereof, if COMPANY finds the Application for Payment and invoices to
- ----------
be proper and in accord with the provisions hereof and if no Default or Event of
Default then exists hereunder, COMPANY shall pay CONTRACTOR the entire amount of
said Application for Payment within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving
the Application for Payment, the invoices and other matters hereinabove
specified to be submitted therewith. Any errors or discrepancies discovered in
the Application for Payment shall not be cause for COMPANY to withhold payment
of the balance of the Application for Payment as to which there is no error or
discrepancy. If any part of the Project (including any Construction Work)
covered by any monthly Application for Payment has been rejected by COMPANY or
COMPANY'S Inspector or Representative (including any Person acting on behalf of
any lender of COMPANY) or is being repaired or replaced by CONTRACTOR, the
portion of Reimbursable Costs for which CONTRACTOR seeks reimbursement and the
portion of the Budgeted Fee attributable to such part of the Project shall be
withheld
47
<PAGE>
until all necessary repair or replacement has been completed and approved
by COMPANY. COMPANY shall not be obligated to make payment for any
Construction Work that is not covered by an invoice or that has been rejected by
COMPANY or COMPANY'S Inspector or Representative or that exceeds the maximum
amount budgeted for the affected Construction Phase. If payment is sought for
Stored Materials, CONTRACTOR shall satisfy the conditions to payment for Stored
Materials set forth in Section 17.7 below. In no event shall any payment exceed
------------
the difference between (y) the cost of Construction Work in place, payments for
Stored Materials, if any, the portion of the Budgeted Fee payable to date, and
any other costs, expenses and fees actually paid by CONTRACTOR for Project costs
as of the date of the Application for Payment, and (z) any required Retainage
(defined in Section 17.2 below) and the sum of all prior payments. Each advance
------------
for CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted Fee shall be subject to the Retainage.
17.2 PAYMENT OF INCREASES IN FEE; RETAINAGE. No portion of the Fee above
--------------------------------------
the Budgeted Fee shall become due and payable until the Project has been finally
completed and Final Acceptance of the Facility has occurred. Progress payments
shall be made only on the Budgeted Fee. Each Application for Payment shall show
the percentage of the Project that has been completed to COMPANY'S satisfaction,
and CONTRACTOR shall be paid (subject to Retainage) the same percentage of the
Budgeted Fee. Out of each payment of the Budgeted Fee, COMPANY shall retain
fifteen percent (15%) of the portion of the Budgeted Fee then due under the
Contract. The amount retained by COMPANY is referred to as the "RETAINAGE".
The Application for Payment shall show the portion of the Budgeted Fee that is
then due and payable, including the method used to calculate such portion, under
clause (ii) in Section 17.1, above, and shall show the eighty-five percent (85%)
------------
portion payable to CONTRACTOR, the fifteen percent (15%) portion to be retained
by COMPANY and the cumulative amount retained by COMPANY. In no event shall
COMPANY be obligated to pay to CONTRACTOR on account of CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted
Fee an amount greater than the amount that bears the same ratio to the entire
Budgeted Fee as the then percentage of completion of the Facility bears to one
hundred percent (100%) completion of the Facility.
17.3 PARTIAL RELEASE OF RETAINAGE. It is agreed that COMPANY will release
----------------------------
one-half of the Retainage for payment to CONTRACTOR if the Facility is finally
completed prior to or on the date for Final Completion set forth in Section
-------
14.2. CONTRACTOR shall submit a separate invoice to COMPANY covering such
payment at the time the Facility is taken over for operation and maintenance as
aforesaid, and COMPANY shall pay CONTRACTOR the amount of said invoice within
thirty (30) calendar days after COMPANY'S receipt thereof.
17.4 PAYMENT NOT A WAIVER BY COMPANY. No payments made by COMPANY pursuant
-------------------------------
to a monthly Application for Payment as hereinabove provided shall be deemed to
signify or imply acceptance of the materials or workmanship covered by such
Application for Payment; and none of them shall operate as an admission on the
part of COMPANY as to the propriety or accuracy of any of the amounts entered in
the aforesaid Application for Payment, or as a waiver of COMPANY'S right to
audit provided for herein. Furthermore, when computing subsequent payments,
COMPANY shall not be bound by any entries in previous Applications for Payment
and shall be permitted to make corrections for errors therein. COMPANY'S final
payment for the Facility shall in no way relieve CONTRACTOR of any obligations
or responsibilities under the Contract which extend beyond the date of such
final payment.
17.5 PAYMENT OF BALANCE OF RETAINAGE. Within thirty (30) calendar days
-------------------------------
after COMPANY has given CONTRACTOR its Final Acceptance of the Facility as
provided for in Article 15 hereof and received a proper Application for Payment
----------
and supporting invoices from CONTRACTOR covering the payment hereinafter
specified in this Section 17.5 and has received from CONTRACTOR
------------
48
<PAGE>
all other documents and other items required from CONTRACTOR hereunder
(including without limitation documents required by Section 4.11 and Section
------------
27.1 and Articles 28 and 29), COMPANY shall pay CONTRACTOR the balance of the
----------- --
Contract Amount due on the cost of the Facility as of the date of Final
Acceptance (as verified by COMPANY'S Representatives and accountants) less the
summation of all credits and refunds then due COMPANY under the provisions of
the Contract; provided, however, that in case the aforesaid summation of credits
and refunds due COMPANY shall be found to exceed the aforesaid unpaid balance of
the Contract Amount, CONTRACTOR shall remit the difference between said
summation and said unpaid balance to COMPANY within thirty (30) calendar days
after the amount of such difference is determined. Such determination shall be
made with reasonable dispatch. Except as provided in Section 17.6 next below,
------------
the payment hereinabove specified shall be the final payment due CONTRACTOR
under the Contract; and before said final payment is made, CONTRACTOR shall
submit evidence satisfactory to COMPANY that all payrolls, bills, and other
indebtedness theretofore incurred in connection with the Contract have been
paid, and all subcontractors and vendors have been paid in full and all
governmental inspections and approvals required to permanently occupy and
operate the Facility have been completed and issued and the Contract has
otherwise been fully performed by CONTRACTOR.
17.6 INSURANCE ADJUSTMENTS. The hourly rates in Schedule 16.2.1.1 shall
---------------------
not be adjusted in the event of any insurance premium adjustments resulting from
audits by Contractor's insurers or for any other reason.
17.7 STORED MATERIALS. As a condition precedent to payment for Stored
----------------
Materials (i) the Stored Materials shall be included in the coverage of the
insurance policies required under this Agreement; (ii) CONTRACTOR shall deliver
a certification that no subcontractor, vendor, or other person has retained
title, or has liens on or security interests in, the Stored Materials and shall
deliver paid invoices or other documentation evidencing title to the Stored
Materials vested in CONTRACTOR; (iii) CONTRACTOR shall have delivered such
documentation as shall be effective to transfer, upon payment, ownership of the
Stored Materials to COMPANY; and (iv) the Stored Materials are satisfactorily
stored at the Site to protect against theft or damage. Except with COMPANY'S
prior written approval, CONTRACTOR shall not make advance payments to vendors
for materials which have not been delivered and stored at the Site.

----------------------------------
compliance with the aforesaid warranties and guarantees will require, but not by
way of limitation, that all materials will have capacities (in terms of heat
capacities, duty cycles, rates of flow, volumes, and the like) at operating
conditions as set forth in the plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets and
other Construction Documents approved by COMPANY, under which said items of
material are furnished, not less than the respective capacities set forth in
said plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets and other Construction

without depending upon the routine use of spare equipment or upon the added
capacity of any spare equipment and with no more attention than is consistent
with good facility operating practice.
18.6 RETAINING IMPERFECT MATERIALS. In the event that any workmanship or
-----------------------------
materials are found to be not as above warranted or guaranteed and the parties
hereto mutually agree to permit same to remain in the Facility, the retention of
such workmanship or materials shall not operate as a waiver of CONTRACTOR'S
responsibility therefor and, in the absence of a written agreement to the
contrary, CONTRACTOR'S responsibility for the safety and serviceability of such
workmanship and materials shall be the same as though such imperfections had not
been discovered. However, the parties shall not allow a known unsafe condition
to continue to exist.

-------------------------- ----------
be interpreted to constitute, a release or discharge by COMPANY of any right,
claim or remedy COMPANY may have against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor or
vendor under the Contract or under applicable law in respect of the matters
encompassed by this Article 18 or in respect of any defects or failure to meet

and vendors the same liability to CONTRACTOR that CONTRACTOR has to COMPANY
under this Section. If any materials furnished by COMPANY hereunder are found to
be improper, inferior, defective, unsuitable or damaged, COMPANY shall bear the
expenses for all necessary alterations, adjustments, repairs, or replacements to
said materials that are needed because of such deficiencies. All alterations,

consideration, and COMPANY agrees in writing to said alteration or repair; or
(ii) specifications issued or approved by COMPANY for the materials in question
permit alterations or repairs of the nature contemplated.
19.3 REPAIR BY COMPANY. In the event that any alteration, adjustment,
-----------------
repair, replacement or other correction becomes necessary as provided in this
Article 19 after the Facility has been put into operation and if it is mutually
- ----------
agreed that said alteration, adjustment, repair, replacement or other correction
can be made more rapidly and with less delay in the operation of the Facility by
COMPANY'S forces than by CONTRACTOR'S, or if CONTRACTOR fails or refuses to make
or unreasonably postpones said alteration, adjustment, repair, replacement or
other correction, COMPANY shall have the right to make said alteration,
adjustment, repair, replacement or other correction with its own forces at
CONTRACTOR'S expense. In such event, COMPANY shall use reasonable efforts to

purchase order amount, and (ii) in the case of a subcontract or purchase order
amount between DEM500,000 and DEM5,000,000, ten percent (10%) of the subcontract
or purchase order amount, but in the case of a subcontract or purchase order
amount less than DEM500,000, no warranty bank guarantee shall be required. Each
bank guarantee shall satisfy the applicable criteria
56
<PAGE>
for bank guarantees set forth in Schedule 21.6 & 21.7 attached hereto and made a
--------------------
part hereof and shall be reasonably satisfactory to COMPANY and to any lender or
lenders providing financing for the Project, issued by a bank reasonably
satisfactory to COMPANY and to any lender or lenders providing financing for the
Project. Each warranty bank guarantee shall be for a period equal to the lesser
of (x) two years, and (y) the period of the guarantee and warranty for the
items covered by such guarantee (e.g., the guarantee for rotating parts shall
have a term of one year) specified in Section 18.1.
------------
21.7 ADVANCE PAYMENT BANK GUARANTEES. CONTRACTOR shall provide, or shall
-------------------------------
cause each subcontractor and vendor to provide, an advance payment bank
guarantee in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of each payment made
by COMPANY to CONTRACTOR prior to the date on which CONTRACTOR would be entitled
to receive such payment under the terms of this Agreement. Each advance payment
bank guarantee shall be procured by CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor or vendor
and delivered to COMPANY concurrently with the making of such advance payment.
Each advance payment bank guarantee shall satisfy each of the criteria for bank
guarantees set forth in schedule 21.6 & 21.7 and shall be satisfactory to
COMPANY and to any lender or lenders providing financing for the Project and
shall be issued by a surety reasonably satisfactory to COMPANY and to any lender
or lenders providing financing for the Project.
21.8 Assignment Of Subcontractors' Warranties And Bank Guarantees.
------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACTOR hereby irrevocably assigns without restriction to COMPANY all of
CONTRACTOR'S right, title and interest in and to any and all warranty bank
guarantees and advance payment bank guarantees that CONTRACTOR holds for the
benefit of COMPANY and those provided by any subcontractor or vendor, and any
and all warranty claims and claims for performance CONTRACTOR may have against
its subcontractors, vendors, architects, building engineers, project planners
and any other building tradesmen and persons involved in the Project who have a
contractual relationship with CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall be obligated to
provide to COMPANY immediately after receipt all original performance guarantees
or warranty guarantees which CONTRACTOR receives from its subcontractors and
vendors. COMPANY grants to CONTRACTOR an entitlement, subject to revocation by
COMPANY, pursuant to which CONTRACTOR shall be entitled and obligated to assert
against all subcontractors and vendors the performance claims and warranty
claims under the subcontracts and purchase orders in its own name and at its own
cost. COMPANY may revoke this entitlement and obligation upon the occurrence of
(i) the filing of a petition for bankruptcy of CONTRACTOR, or (ii) termination
of the Contract, and may then itself assert the claims assigned to it against
the aforesaid subcontractors, vendors, architects, building engineers, project
planners, and other persons involved in the Project. This Section shall not be
deemed a waiver in any form whatsoever of any claims against CONTRACTOR under
this Agreement, provided any sums collected by COMPANY under this Section 21.8
-------- ------------
shall be set off against COMPANY'S claims against CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall
recognize, and hereby consents to, any assignment by COMPANY of its right, title
and interest in such guarantees to any lender or lenders providing financing for
the Project. CONTRACTOR shall direct the issuer of any bank guarantee to make
all payments directly to COMPANY. In the event of revocation of the
entitlement, CONTRACTOR shall hold any such proceeds received by CONTRACTOR in
trust for COMPANY and shall promptly pay to COMPANY any such proceeds received

CASUALTY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FACILITY
22.1 DAMAGE BEFORE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF FACILITY. In case the
------------------------------------------------
Facility or any portion thereof or any materials or equipment therefor should be
damaged, lost, or destroyed by reason of accidental deterioration or accidental
loss (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, gusts of wind, earthquake, theft
or vandalism) before substantial completion of the Facility (as described in
Section 15.1), COMPANY shall have the right to require CONTRACTOR to forthwith
- -------------
reconstruct, repair, or replace the work or materials so damaged, lost, or
destroyed. The cost thereof shall be a part of the Budgeted Cost of the Work,
the Project Budget shall be correspondingly increased by a Change Order, and the
Fee shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 16.10.
-------------
22.2 DAMAGE AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF FACILITY. If damage, loss, or
-----------------------------------------------
destruction occurs by reason of accidental deterioration or accidental loss
after substantial completion of the Facility as provided in Section 15.1 hereof,
------------
COMPANY shall be responsible. The provisions of this Article 22 shall not
----------
affect CONTRACTOR'S obligations under Article 18 and Article 19 hereof.
---------- ----------
ARTICLE 23
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
23.1 CONTRACTOR'S PROTECTION OF FACILITY. Until COMPANY has taken over the
-----------------------------------
Facility for operation or use, CONTRACTOR shall take all reasonable precautions,
including those related to security and to sanitation and health for the safety
of CONTRACTOR'S personnel and the personnel of others, to protect all work done
and all materials furnished under the Contract (including those furnished by
COMPANY for installation by CONTRACTOR, and regardless of whether the materials
have been erected or not) from loss or damage by the processes of construction,
by the action of the elements or by any other cause or causes; and after COMPANY
has taken over the Facility for operation or use, CONTRACTOR shall take all
reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of CONTRACTOR'S
personnel and the personnel of others and the Facility and all portions thereof
from any and all loss or damage which CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors might
cause while making alterations, adjustments, repairs, or replacements or while
performing any other work at the job site. To the extent caused by CONTRACTOR,
its subcontractors or vendors, or their respective officers, agents or
employees, all loss or damage arising out of the processes of construction done
under the Contract, or from any defect in the Construction Work, or from the
action of the elements against which reasonable precautions were not taken,
shall be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall also protect
COMPANY'S property which is not a part of the Facility from loss or damage which
might result either directly or indirectly, from CONTRACTOR'S and its
subcontractor's activities on COMPANY'S premises; and, if COMPANY should at any
time believe that the means provided by CONTRACTOR for protecting COMPANY'S
property are unsafe or inadequate, COMPANY shall have the right to require
CONTRACTOR to make them safe and adequate, and CONTRACTOR shall comply with such
requirement. However, neither the failure of COMPANY to make such demands nor
CONTRACTOR'S compliance with such demands, if made, shall in anyway relieve
CONTRACTOR from its liability for loss, damage, or injury resulting from the
operations of it or its subcontractors.
ARTICLE 24
PREPARATION OF THE FACILITY FOR OCCUPANCY AND TESTING
24.1 CONTRACTOR'S PREPARATION OF FACILITY. At such time as COMPANY may
------------------------------------
occupy or utilize the Facility for the installation of the Wafer Process
Equipment or in preparation for the conduct of any System Performance Test,
58
<PAGE>
CONTRACTOR shall flush equipment as required (using suitable precautions to
prevent damage from freezing); check to see that all mechanical equipment and
electrical equipment relating to the Wafer Process Equipment or the system to be
tested in the Facility is in good working order and properly connected; make
preliminary run-ins of the various pumps and compressors relating to the Wafer
Process Equipment or the system to be tested in the Facility; purge equipment as
required, and perform all other tasks that shall be needed for preparing and
conditioning the Facility for installation of the Wafer Process Equipment or for
conduct of any System Performance Test using in such work all reasonable
precautions that may be necessary to prevent damage of any kind, from any cause
or causes, to the Facility or any part thereof or to any chemicals intended for
use therein. COMPANY shall furnish, at no cost to CONTRACTOR, all operating
personnel (other than vendors' or subcontractors' service engineers) needed to
operate equipment in the Facility which must be operated during the period that
the Facility is being prepared and conditioned for occupancy and testing as
aforesaid. Such personnel will perform their duties under CONTRACTOR'S
direction and COMPANY'S supervision, and CONTRACTOR will have a skilled operator
or operators present at the Site to furnish such direction and representation as
needed during said period on each shift when such work is being performed.
24.2 CALIBRATION OF INSTRUMENTATION. As a part of CONTRACTOR'S work in
------------------------------
preparing the Facility for installation of the Wafer Process Equipment and for
testing, CONTRACTOR shall calibrate all affected instruments and controls in the
Facility, through the full range, and make all other necessary adjustments
thereon using such skilled employees as shall be needed for this work, to insure
that each instrument and control is properly performing its required function or
functions. COMPANY may, if it so desires, place its own instrument employees on
the Facility to check and test instruments and controls to the extent COMPANY
considers desirable, and it is understood that said instrument employees shall
limit their work to the checking and performance testing of instruments and
controls. COMPANY'S employees shall report to CONTRACTOR'S chief instrument
supervisor all faulty equipment or installation errors found, and CONTRACTOR
shall make all necessary corrections and repairs. It is understood that neither
the presence of COMPANY'S instrument employees on the Facility nor their acts in
checking and performance testing of instruments and controls shall in any way
relieve CONTRACTOR of its complete responsibility for the operation of said
instruments and controls or of any other of its responsibilities under the
provisions of the Contract.
24.3 TAKE OVER FOR INSTALLATION OR TESTING. When the preparation of the
-------------------------------------
Facility for installation of the Wafer Process Equipment or for system testing
has been completed, CONTRACTOR shall so notify COMPANY and COMPANY shall then,
if it agrees that the preparation for installation of the Wafer Process
Equipment or for testing has in fact been completed and that all affected
mechanical and electrical equipment in the Facility is in good working order,
take over the Facility for installing the Wafer Process Equipment or take over
the system in question for conducting a System Performance Test and give
CONTRACTOR a written notice to this effect. However, neither this notice nor the
act of COMPANY in taking over the Facility or such system for conducting a
System Performance Test shall in any way relieve CONTRACTOR from its obligations
to finally complete the Facility; or from CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to alter,
adjust, repair, replace and otherwise correct workmanship or materials as
necessary to enable the Facility and each system within the Facility to
satisfactorily complete a System Performance Test and to meet and fulfill the
warranties and guarantees under the Contract, or from any other obligations or
responsibilities which extend beyond the preparation of the Facility for
installation of the Wafer Process Equipment or for testing or pertain to matters
arising after the issuance of said notice.

ARTICLE 25
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TESTS
25.1 CONDUCT OF SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TESTS; REPAIRS. As soon as practicable
--------------------------------------------
after each system within the Facility shall have been properly prepared and
conditioned for operation, COMPANY shall bring such system on stream and shall
then make a system performance test (the "SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST") on such
system by operating it under approximately normal conditions of temperature,
pressure, capacity, vibration, cleanliness and all other appropriate operating
conditions prescribed by COMPANY for a period of seventy-two (72) consecutive
hours to demonstrate that all materials, equipment and machinery are in proper
working order and free from defects and that such system is operable under said
conditions of temperature, pressure, capacity, vibration, cleanliness and the
Facility Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A, and other appropriate
---------
operating conditions and that the clean room and clean areas satisfy the
cleanliness requirements. In the event of failure to demonstrate this on the
first or any subsequent attempt, CONTRACTOR shall make, at CONTRACTOR'S cost,
all alterations, adjustments, repairs, replacements or other corrections that
may be needed and, if it becomes necessary to shut down the Facility or any
portion thereof for the purpose of making alterations, adjustments, repairs,
replacements or other corrections or for any other reason before any System
Performance Test is satisfactorily completed, COMPANY at CONTRACTOR'S cost shall
service the Facility (or such portions thereof as are involved in or affected by
the shutdown) for resuming testing after said shutdown. Then, when the Facility
is again ready for testing, COMPANY shall bring the system on stream and shall
start a new System Performance Test. The foregoing procedure shall be repeated
as often as necessary until such system shall have operated continuously, and in
conformity with the Facility Performance Criteria and the Fab 30 Preliminary
Design and final design, for a period of the duration specified in the first
sentence of this Section 25.1 under normal conditions of temperature, pressure,
------------
capacity, vibration, cleanliness and the Facility Performance Criteria and the
Fab 30 Preliminary Design and final design; and the System Performance Test
shall thereby have been satisfactorily completed. It is understood that
CONTRACTOR shall be permitted to furnish, at its own expense, an observer to
witness any System Performance Test.
25.2 NOTICE OF SATISFACTORY COMPLETION. When any System Performance Test
---------------------------------
on a system within the Facility has been satisfactorily completed as specified
in Section 25.1 above, COMPANY shall notify CONTRACTOR to this effect in
------------
writing.
25.3 COORDINATION OF SYSTEMS. The parties acknowledge that CONTRACTOR will
-----------------------
complete, and COMPANY will test and accept, certain systems in the Facility
before other systems have been completed, tested and accepted. If one system,
that has already been completed, tested and accepted, operates in conjunction
with a second system, and if the balancing and coordination of the two systems
and the testing of the second system reveals defects in the first system, then
the first system shall be retested pursuant to Section 25.1 as if it had never
------------
been tested, and COMPANY'S previous acceptance of such defective system and
COMPANY'S previous notice of completion of the System Performance Test pursuant
to Section 25.2 shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
------------
25.4 STANDARDS OF OPERATION. At no time (whether during any System
----------------------
Performance Test or any other period) shall CONTRACTOR operate the Facility or
any part thereof in a manner which subjects any equipment to conditions of
temperature, pressure, excess particulates, vibrations or stress that are more
severe, in COMPANY'S opinion, than the maximum allowable operating conditions
for which the equipment was designed; nor shall any alterations, adjustments,
repairs, replacements or other corrections be made while the Facility or any
60
<PAGE>
part thereof is in operation if, in COMPANY'S opinion, the safety of individuals
or equipment would be jeopardized by so doing; nor shall any part of the
Facility be continued in operation when, in COMPANY'S opinion, further operation
thereof would be hazardous to the safety of individuals or equipment.
25.5 SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE. The procedure for shutting down the Facility
-------------------
shall be in accordance with a standard mutually agreed upon by and between
CONTRACTOR and COMPANY.
ARTICLE 26
USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS OF THE FACILITY
26.1 USE OF COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION PHASES. COMPANY reserves the right to
------------------------------------
occupy and use Construction Phases or systems within the Facility as they are
completed, including those Construction Phases or systems completed in advance
of other portions of the Facility, and such Construction Phases or systems may
be occupied or used pending completion of said other portions, provided that
-------- ----
such occupancy or use by COMPANY would not unduly interfere with CONTRACTOR'S
subsequent work on the Facility. CONTRACTOR shall complete the milestones in
the order of precedence designated by Section 14.1 above, prepare the
------------
Construction Phases for occupancy and testing, and turn same over to COMPANY for
operation or use in the aforesaid order of precedence. In such case COMPANY
shall give CONTRACTOR a separate notice on each occasion when it takes over any
such portion of the Facility for occupancy and testing. If any system in the
Facility has been substantially completed and all Punch List items affecting
such system, other than minor cosmetic matters (as described in Section 15.2.1),
--------------
have been completed, then the provisions of Section 18.1 regarding warranties
------------
and guarantees shall apply. It shall be understood, however, that neither
COMPANY'S taking over, or occupancy or use of, any portion or system of the
Facility, nor any notice given by COMPANY in connection therewith shall in any
way be construed to commit COMPANY to the acceptance of any Construction Work
not completed or furnished in accordance with the Design Documents pertaining
thereto, nor to constitute a Final Acceptance thereof nor to relieve CONTRACTOR
from its obligation to complete the Facility (if it is then not already
completed) or from any other unfulfilled obligations or responsibilities under
the Contract.
ARTICLE 27
CLOSING REPORT ON COST OF THE FACILITY
27.1 CLOSING REPORT. As soon as possible after substantial completion of
--------------
the Facility but, in any event, before COMPANY'S Final Acceptance thereof,
CONTRACTOR shall furnish COMPANY a detailed closing report showing the
apportionment of the costs for the Facility among the Construction Phases in
accordance with the closing report outline to be prescribed by COMPANY. In the
event that agreement between the parties cannot be reached on any matter that is
not covered by the above-mentioned outline concerning the detail or form of the
closing report, it shall be understood that applicable requirements for
apportionment of costs among the Construction Phases shall be defined in the
Project Procedures Manual.
ARTICLE 28
RECORD DOCUMENTS
28.1 DESCRIPTION OF RECORD DOCUMENTS. The record document is the written,
-------------------------------
printed, and drawn (including in electronic form) presentation of factual
information on the completed Project, defining what, how, and where
Construction Work was installed, together with any other relevant information,
including without limitation two sets of electronic media of all drawings and
specifications developed by CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor or vendor. The
purpose of record documents is to provide factual information which will
61
<PAGE>
facilitate COMPANY'S future use, service, modification, and/or replacement of
completed Construction Work, and which complements information furnished under
Operation and Maintenance Data (defined in Section 29.1). CONTRACTOR must
-------------
submit record documents to COMPANY for review and approval prior to the covering
of any Construction Work. Such approval by COMPANY will constitute acceptance
of the record documents with respect to such covered Construction Work.
28.2 INFORMATION ON RECORD DOCUMENTS. Record drawings shall specifically
-------------------------------
show all items of Construction Work, regardless of specialty, included under
this Contract, location and runs of all mechanical systems, electrical and
drainage whether above or below ground, equipment locations and connections, all
structural elements, floor levels, yard paving and grade elevations, etc.
CONTRACTOR shall keep on Site two complete sets of prints of the record drawings
for the sole purpose of recording all changes in work and all subcontractors.
It shall be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR to enter appropriate information on
the master set as soon as the affected Construction Work is accomplished and to
determine that the subcontractor's set is also kept current. CONTRACTOR shall
make record drawing sets available at all times to COMPANY. Information entered
on record drawings shall be neat, legible and done in a draftsman-like manner in
English.
28.3 RECORDING DATA. CONTRACTOR shall record information concurrently with
--------------
construction progress and date all entries. CONTRACTOR shall make drawing
entries within two (2) working days after occurrence of any change or
installation requiring recording. Any concealed Construction Work covered
before recording data shall be uncovered as directed or as necessary to obtain
data. Accuracy of records shall be such that future reference will disclose
reliable information. CONTRACTOR shall make due care and all means necessary
(including appropriate measuring devices) to determine and record the required
information.
28.4 CONDUITS, PIPES, ETC.. In many cases on the Design Documents, the
---------------------
arrangement of conduits, pipes, ducts, and similar items is shown schematically
rather than as a precise scaled layout. CONTRACTOR shall identify the actual
location of these with field verified horizontal and vertical dimensions from
column lines, wall lines, or other permanent reference lines or points.
CONTRACTOR shall identify the depth of buried lines or other features by
relation to a datum elevation, using invert, centerline, top or bottom
elevation, and by slope or rate of fall if any.
28.5 FINALIZATION OF DOCUMENTS OTHER THAN DRAWINGS. If documents have been
---------------------------------------------
collected and retained in clear and complete condition and if entries thereon
are clear and neat, the collected copies may be accepted as final record
documents. Items not in acceptable condition shall be carefully transferred
with all notations or information to the new copy.
28.6 FINALIZATION OF DRAWINGS. CONTRACTOR shall obtain COMPANY'S review of
------------------------
the Project record print set on which information has been entered. After
COMPANY has approved the notated print set, CONTRACTOR shall carefully transfer
all notations, changes, data, and information to be the reproducible set.
CONTRACTOR shall emphasize entries or revisions by asterisks, encirclement by a
"cloud" around affected area, or other graphic device. When documents are
complete and assembled, CONTRACTOR shall obtain COMPANY'S review, participate in
review meeting(s) and make all changes in the documents as required or directed.
CONTRACTOR shall promptly deliver the approved final record documents to
COMPANY.
28.7 REMEDIES REGARDING RECORD DOCUMENTS. COMPANY shall have the right to
-----------------------------------
withhold portions of any progress payments due CONTRACTOR in the event the
record documents are not maintained current or are not submitted as specified.
The portions of progress payments withheld shall be reasonably related to the
62
<PAGE>
work for which record documents have not been properly maintained or submitted.
If CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the foregoing duties within a reasonable time
set by the COMPANY, then COMPANY shall be entitled to produce the record
documents at the expense of CONTRACTOR.

LIENS [PFANDRECHT]
31.1 LIENS [PFANDRECHT]. CONTRACTOR shall prove with respect to movables
------------------
and rights which are not indivisibly connected with the real property that it
owns these movables and rights and that, in particular, there exist no rights of
third parties such as liens and the like. It is only after CONTRACTOR will have
furnished this proof that it may claim payment of costs of such movables or
rights hereunder. If there is, at any time, indication to COMPANY of the
existence of a lien as a result of which COMPANY will not be unrestricted owner
of the movables or rights, or will be liable because of such lien, or will be
subject to other claims of third parties, in particular without limitation, of
subcontractors or suppliers, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the respective costs
payable by COMPANY in addition to the costs otherwise owed by COMPANY to
CONTRACTOR hereunder. COMPANY shall further be entitled, as long as CONTRACTOR
fails to prove that it owns the aforesaid movables or rights, to withhold any
such payment, unless mere payment of the Reimbursable Costs hereunder would lead
to the extinguishment of the lien on the movable or right by operation of law.
The proof to be furnished by CONTRACTOR shall consist of a respective written
waiver of respective liens issued by its supplier or subcontractor and of a
declaration of CONTRACTOR'S supplier or subcontractor according to which it
already transferred to CONTRACTOR full title to the movable or the right. Also
proof of full payment of the subcontractor or supplier for the respective

guarantees under the Contract applying to the portion of the work completed

----------------------------------
its sole discretion, to suspend the performance of all or any part of the

and conveyance by such subcontractors, vendors and others of the rights of use
specified in Section 4.11 to COMPANY or COMPANY'S Affiliate. Upon such
termination and payment as herein provided, title to all materials, work in

------------
pursuant to Article 35.

----------------------
whatsoever, whether or not CONTRACTOR is in default, and without notice to
CONTRACTOR'S sureties, if any, terminate the Contract in whole or in part by
giving written notice to CONTRACTOR specifying the part or parts of the work to
be terminated and the effective date of the termination. Upon any such
termination, CONTRACTOR shall discontinue work as soon as possible and minimize
associated costs of termination. Provided such termination is not due to

35.1.1 (i) All amounts due in accordance with Section 16.2 hereof and
------------
not previously paid to CONTRACTOR for work completed in accordance with this
Contract prior to or in connection with such notice, and for work thereafter

Budgeted COW
Where:
Net COW means Actual Cost of the Work incurred through the termination plus
any reasonable costs that cannot be avoided by cancellation of contracts and
purchase orders;
Budgeted COW means the Budgeted Cost of the Work;
and (iii) if CONTRACTOR is not then in default hereunder, a reasonable sum,
under all of the circumstances, reflecting any Project Budget cost savings
realized through the date of such termination.
35.1.2 The reasonable cost of settling and paying claims arising out
of the termination of work under subcontracts or purchase orders as hereinafter

and purchase order the right to terminate such subcontracts and purchase orders
in the event COMPANY terminates the Contract pursuant to this Article 35 or
----------
Article 36 at no additional cost.
- ----------
35.1.3 Any other reasonable costs actually incurred by CONTRACTOR
incidental to such termination of work.

ARTICLE 36
DEFAULT BY THE CONTRACTOR
36.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any or all of the work to be performed under
-----------------
this Contract is abandoned by CONTRACTOR; or if the Contract is assigned in
violation of the provisions hereof; or if any work is subcontracted by
CONTRACTOR without any required approval of COMPANY; or if CONTRACTOR becomes
insolvent or unable to meet its payroll or other current obligations, or is
adjudicated a bankrupt, or has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed
against it, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files a
petition for an arrangement, composition or compromise with its creditors under
any applicable laws, or has a receiver, trustee or other officer appointed to
take charge of its assets; or if CONTRACTOR persistently disregards applicable
laws or ordinances; or if CONTRACTOR fails, except in cases beyond its control,
to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials or to prosecute
the Construction Work with promptness and diligence; or if COMPANY determines
that the Project Schedule is not being maintained or that CONTRACTOR is
violating any of the conditions or provisions of this Contract; or if CONTRACTOR
refuses or fails to perform properly any portion of the work in accordance with
the terms of this Contract (any of the foregoing, a "DEFAULT"), and if, within
ten (10) working days after receipt of a written notice of default from COMPANY,
CONTRACTOR fails to remedy such Default or to provide satisfactory evidence that
such Default will be corrected as soon as possible (an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"),
COMPANY may take over the work and/or withhold any amounts otherwise due under
the Contract and/or terminate by written notice the Contract without thereby
releasing CONTRACTOr from any of its obligations or liabilities under the
Contract, or affecting the rights conferred on COMPANY by the Contract.
70
<PAGE>
36.2 COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TAKE OVER WORK. Upon such Event of Default,
---------------------------------
Company may take possession of the Site, the Construction Work and of all plans,
specifications, drawings, data sheets, materials, supplies, construction
equipment and tools, construction outfit, subcontracts, purchase orders, and
facilities thereon and use them to finish the work by whatever method COMPANY
may deem expedient and dispose of them in partial satisfaction of any
obligations due from CONTRACTOR to COMPANY. In such case, COMPANY at its option
may accept CONTRACTOR'S commitments under all unfulfilled purchase orders
theretofore issued by CONTRACTOR in good faith in connection with the work
included under the Contract and all uncompleted subcontracts for work included
under the Contract which CONTRACTOR may have theretofore entered into, with the
consent of COMPANY; and upon COMPANY'S request, CONTRACTOR shall execute and
deliver all such papers and take all such steps, including the legal assignment
of its contractual rights, as COMPANY may require for the purpose of fully
vesting in itself the rights and benefits of CONTRACTOR under such purchase
orders and subcontracts. In the event COMPANY demands of CONTRACTOR the
assignment of contractual claims against subcontractors or vendors or otherwise
against third parties, COMPANY shall in return, be obliged to assume the
obligations under such subcontracts or purchase orders that arise after such
assignment takes effect.
36.3 COMPANY'S RIGHT TO COMPLETE WORK. Upon such termination or
--------------------------------
withholding, COMPANY shall have the right to complete any work by whatever
method COMPANY may deem expedient, including employing another contractor under
such form of contract as COMPANY may deem advisable or having COMPANY provide
any labor or materials and perform any part of such work that has been
terminated. COMPANY shall not be required to obtain proposals for completing
such work, but may make such reasonable expenditures as in COMPANY'S judgment,
taking into account the duty to minimize damages, will best accomplish such
reasonable completion of the Facility. The expense of completing such work
(above the Budgeted Cost of the Work), together with a reasonable charge for
administering any contract for such completion, will be charged to CONTRACTOR,
and such expense will be deducted by COMPANY from such monies as may be due or
may at any time thereafter become due to CONTRACTOR. In case such expense
exceeds the sum which would have otherwise been payable under this Contract,
CONTRACTOR shall be liable for and shall upon notice from COMPANY promptly pay
to COMPANY the amount of such excess. COMPANY shall not be liable for any
damages on account of such termination.
36.4 CONTRACTOR'S ACTION UPON RECEIPT OF NOTICE. Upon receipt of any such
------------------------------------------
written notice of termination of right to proceed, CONTRACTOR shall:
36.4.1 DISCONTINUE WORK. As soon as possible discontinue work on the
----------------
date and to the extent specified in the notice.
36.4.2 DELIVER DESIGN DOCUMENTS, ETC. Deliver to COMPANY, the Site
-----------------------------
and any plans, specifications, drawings, data sheets, data, reports, completed
work, work in process, and such other information and materials relating to the
terminated work as may have been acquired or prepared by CONTRACTOR hereunder.
CONTRACTOR shall not have any right to withhold the aforesaid documents.
36.4.3 PERFORM UNTERMINATED WORK. Continue to prosecute and perform
-------------------------
any unterminated part of the work.
36.4.4 REMOVAL OF OUTFIT. Remove from the Site CONTRACTOR'S and any
-----------------
subcontractor's or vendor's construction outfit, temporary buildings and
materials as set forth in said notice.
71
<PAGE>
36.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of COMPANY provided by
-------------------
this provision of the Contract are in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies provided by law or under this Contract, and nothing contained herein
shall prejudice the rights of COMPANY to take whatever action it may deem
necessary or appropriate to obtain the satisfactory performance of this
Contract. This shall not, however, under any circumstances be construed to
entitle COMPANY to lost profits.
36.6 Limits On Amount Payable To Contractor. Should COMPANY invoke its
--------------------------------------
termination rights pursuant to this Article 36, any amount payable to CONTRACTOR
----------
shall not cause the Budgeted Cost of the work to be exceeded, nor shall it
exceed an amount calculated as follows:
36.6.1 Take the Reimbursable Costs incurred by CONTRACTOR to the date
of termination.
36.6.2 Add a portion of the CONTRACTOR'S Budgeted Fee computed upon
the percentage of Construction Work completed to the date of termination.
36.6.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by COMPANY.
36.6.4 Subtract any compensation for losses, damages, liabilities,
claims, expenses and other costs suffered or incurred by COMPANY in connection
with CONTRACTOR'S default.
COMPANY shall also pay CONTRACTOR fair compensation, either by purchase or
rental at the election of COMPANY, for any equipment owned by CONTRACTOR which
COMPANY elects to retain and which is not otherwise included in the Cost of the
Work under Section 36.5.1.

-------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACTOR shall substantially complete the Facility in a timely manner and not
later than the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility. For each
Delay Week (defined below) or portion thereof by which CONTRACTOR culpably
exceeds the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility, CONTRACTOR
shall pay COMPANY a contract penalty in the amount listed below:
<TABLE>

4th Week DEM750,000 DEM2,000,000
5th Week + Later Weeks DEM1,000,000
/week
</TABLE>
37.2 PAYMENT OF CONTRACT PENALTY. CONTRACTOR shall pay COMPANY the
---------------------------
foregoing sums as contract penalty (and COMPANY shall have the right to offset
the foregoing sums against any amounts owed by COMPANY to CONTRACTOR) for each
week beyond the Latest Date For Substantial Completion Of The Facility that the
Facility remains substantially uncompleted. Each week (a "DELAY WEEK") shall
commence on the day of the week following the day on which the Latest Date For
Substantial Completion Of The Facility occurred, and if
72
<PAGE>
the Facility is substantially completed on a day other than the last day of a
Delay Week, the amount of penalties shall be pro-rated on the basis of a 7-day
week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, in no
event shall the amount of contract penalties payable by CONTRACTOR under this
Section 37.2 exceed DEM10,000,000, and in no event shall COMPANY be obligated
- ------- ----
to prove the existence or extent of damages as a precondition to receiving
payment. COMPANY may claim the foregoing penalties prior to, in connection with
or after Final Acceptance of the Facility or final payment of the Contract
Amount.
37.3 SUBCONTRACT PENALTY CLAUSES. If and to the extent CONTRACTOR
---------------------------
has a claim for payment of contract penalties against its subcontractors or
vendors because such subcontractors or vendors have exceeded any contractual
deadlines under the subcontracts or purchase orders, CONTRACTOR agrees to fully
enforce such contract penalties against its subcontractors or vendors at its own
cost. CONTRACTOR shall pay to COMPANY 50% of the contract penalties paid by its
subcontractors or vendors (for purposes of clarification, the DEM10,000,000
limit in Section 37.2 does not apply to this Section 37.3). Payment of contract
------------ ------------
penalties by any subcontractor or vendor will be deemed to exist also if
CONTRACTOR can offset its claim for contract penalties against other claims of
such subcontractor or vendor. CONTRACTOR shall, without COMPANY'S request,
inform COMPANY at all times of the enforcement of its contract penalties.
Further, immediately after acceptance by CONTRACTOR of the work performed by any
subcontractor or vendor, however, no later than upon receipt of the
subcontractor's or vendor's final invoice, CONTRACTOR shall inform COMPANY in
detail whether CONTRACTOR has a claim for contract penalties against the
subcontractor or vendor, whether CONTRACTOR will enforce such claim, whether
CONTRACTOR has already received payment, whether CONTRACTOR has offset the claim
for contract penalties against outstanding claims of the subcontractor or vendor
or whether (and if so, why) there exist no claims for contract penalties against
the subcontractor or vendor. CONTRACTOR shall include a valid contract penalty
clause in each subcontract and purchase order concluded by CONTRACTOR, and
CONTRACTOR shall use its best efforts to have the contract penalty clause be
equal to ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the subcontract or purchase
order. COMPANY shall be entitled to enforce this claim for payment only if the
prerequisites as mentioned in Section 37.1 above toward CONTRACTOR exist. If
------------
CONTRACTOR fails to enforce any such claim, CONTRACTOR shall assign such claim
to COMPANY, and COMPANY shall be entitled to enforce such claim.
37.4 SET-OFF OF CONTRACT PENALTIES. Any contract penalty actually paid
-----------------------------
by CONTRACTOR shall be set off against the amount of any damages actually paid
to COMPANY by virtue of CONTRACTOR'S failure to execute the design and
engineering services or the Construction Work in a timely manner.
ARTICLE 38
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CHOICE OF LAW, CHOICE OF FORUM, CONTRACT LANGUAGE
38.1 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. CONTRACTOR shall comply with, and
------------------------------
shall require that all its subcontractors and vendors comply with, all municipal

arbitrators modify or deviate from the provisions of the Contract.
38.4.8 PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. Nothing in this section shall be
--------------------
construed to preclude either party from seeking provisional remedies, including
but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions,
from any court of competent jurisdiction, to protect its rights pending
arbitration but such preliminary relief shall not be sought as a means of
avoiding arbitration.

all of the financing for the Facility may participate in the approval of Design
Documents, the Project Budget, the Project Schedule and changes, additions and
omissions.
39.3 AUDIT BY PROJECT LENDER. The lender or lenders providing part or all
-----------------------
of the financing for the Facility and their agents and representatives shall
have the same rights to inspect the Construction Work and to review and
75
<PAGE>
audit the books and activities of CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor or vendor in
connection with the Project that COMPANY has under the Contract.
39.4 AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR agrees to amend this Agreement to
----------------------
satisfy the requirements of any lender or lenders providing financing for the
Project, provided such amendment does not materially increase the obligations or
--------
reduce or restrict the rights of CONTRACTOR hereunder or change the amount of
compensation that CONTRACTOR is entitled to receive hereunder or modify the
means of calculating such compensation.
ARTICLE 40
FORCE MAJEURE
40.1 EVENTS OF FORCE MAJEURE. Occurrences beyond the control of the party
-----------------------
affected that cause delays in or failure of performance of such affected party
under the Contract (excluding performance of a provision requiring the payment
or expenditure of money) shall constitute force majeure, including, but not
limited to, acts of governmental authority (excluding delays or failures of
performance attributable to the affected party's delay or other fault and
excluding proper exercise of the police power in response to an improper act or
omission of the affected party), unusually severe weather conditions (as defined
in this Section), strikes or other concerted acts of workmen (except to the
extent caused by the affected party or its agents, officers, representatives,
subcontractors or vendors and except to the extent that a strike had been
announced in advance and provision could have been made to alleviate such
strike's effects), fires, floods, explosions, riots, sabotage shipwrecks (except
to the extent such fires, floods, explosions, riots, sabotage or shipwrecks were
caused by the affected party or its agents, officers, representatives,
subcontractors or vendors), war and rebellion. As used in this Section, the
term "unusually severe weather conditions" shall mean weather conditions that
(i) CONTRACTOR establishes to COMPANY'S reasonable satisfaction were not
reasonably foreseeable and (ii) were sufficiently severe that thirty percent
(30%) of the work force employed on the Project were unable to work, and (iii)
resulted in delay that affected the critical path set forth in the Project
Schedule. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, events of "force
majeure" shall not include the following: (I) delays or failures of performance
caused by general economic conditions or (II) delays or failures of performance
caused by open market conditions, such as inability to procure labor or
materials in the open market. Insufficiencies in the design of the Facility,
rejection by COMPANY pursuant to this Agreement of any proposed subcontractor or
vendor or absence of CONTRACTOR'S Representatives or other personnel shall also
not be considered as a just cause of delay. CONTRACTOR shall be fully
responsible for the timely ordering, scheduling, expediting, delivery, and
installation of all equipment and materials. Therefore, delays by vendors in
manufacture or delivery of materials, which delays are not caused by force
majeure, or shortages of labor or materials resulting from general market
conditions shall not be considered as a just cause for delay.
40.2 EFFECT ON TIME FOR PERFORMING OBLIGATION. Either party's inability to
----------------------------------------
perform a non-monetary obligation under the Contract on time and as required by
reason of the occurrence of force majeure, shall cause such obligation to be
suspended, but only until the cessation of such occurrence, so far as the
affected party's ability to perform is affected by that force majeure
occurrence. In the event that such force majeure obstructs performance of the
Contract for more than six (6) months, the parties hereto shall consult with
each other to determine whether the Contract should be modified. COMPANY and
CONTRACTOR will not unreasonably withhold their respective consents to a request
by the other party to extend the Project Schedule or increase the Budgeted Cost
of the Work if force majeure has obstructed performance of the Contract.
76
<PAGE>
40.3 EFFECT ON COMPENSATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
----------------------
Section 14.1 above, the Fee shall not be increased if, following a force majeure
event, CONTRACTOR is not required as a result thereof to perform a materially
greater amount of work (e.g., if a fire destroys a shipment of doors and the
---
only additional effort required from CONTRACTOR is to re-order the doors).
40.4 OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. If force majeure occurs, the affected party
----------------------
shall, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of that force majeure, use
its best efforts (including incurring any reasonable expenditure of funds and
rescheduling manpower and resources) to mitigate and minimize any resulting
delay in the performance of the suspended obligation.
40.5 NOTIFICATION. The affected party shall within 72 hours notify the
------------
other party in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3 and keep the other
------------
party informed at reasonable intervals. Upon request by the other party, as
soon as practicable following that request, the affected party shall provide
notice concerning the likely duration of the force majeure, the action taken and
the action proposed to be taken by the affected party, the cessation of force
majeure or the successful mitigation of the force majeure, and any other matter
which the other party may reasonably request.
40.6 FAILURE TO NOTIFY. If the affected party fails to give notices as
-----------------
prescribed in Sections 14.3 and 40.5, the lack of such notices shall be
------------- ----
sufficient ground for denial of an extension of time on account of the force
majeure, and the affected party shall not be excused from any delay resulting
from the occurrence of such force majeure.
ARTICLE 41
WAIVER, SEVERABILITY AND REMEDIES
41.1 COMPANY'S RIGHTS NOT AFFECTED. COMPANY'S rights under the Contract
-----------------------------
shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any inspection by COMPANY or by
COMPANY'S Inspector or Representative, nor any payment by COMPANY, nor any
payment for, or acceptance of, the whole or any part of the Construction Work by
COMPANY, nor any extension of time, nor any possession taken by COMPANY.
41.2 CONTRACTOR'S WAIVER. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its claims on the basis
-------------------
of Section 648 German Civil Code (Bauhandwerkersicherungshypothek).
41.3 NO WAIVER OF BREACH. No waiver by either party of any term, covenant
-------------------
or condition of the Contract nor any waiver of or assent, express or implied, by
either party to any breach of or default in any term, covenant or condition in
the Contract on the part of the other to be performed or observed shall
constitute a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition of the Contract,
nor a waiver of or assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or
any other term, covenant or condition of the Contract. No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising any right, power or privilege by any party under the
Contact shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
41.4 WRITTEN CHANGES. The Contract may be changed only by a writing
---------------
executed by COMPANY'S Representatives and CONTRACTOR'S Representatives, and no
oral statement, act or omission by COMPANY or CONTRACTOR shall constitute a
change in the Contract or a waiver of the requirements of this Section.
41.5 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Contract is declared invalid by
------------
any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions
of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect.
77
<PAGE>
The parties shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a provision to replace the
invalid provision which replacement provision shall achieve the same purpose and
intent as the invalid provision.
41.6 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy contained in the Contract is intended
-------------------
to be exclusive of any other remedy which is otherwise available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise, and each and every other remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the
Contract or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise. The election of any one or more of such remedies by either of the
parties shall not constitute a waiver by such party of the right to pursue any
other available remedies.
41.7 CAPTIONS. The headings of articles, sections and clauses hereof are
--------
for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 16.2.4
---------------
EXAMPLES OF QUALIFYING AND NON-QUALIFYING
ADDITIONAL REIMBURSABLE COSTS
-----------------------------------------
As a general rule, COMPANY shall pay for the design, labor and
materials involved in designing, purchasing and installing each element of the
Project once. If CONTRACTOR forgets to design in a part that the Facility
requires, then COMPANY will pay for the added design and construction cost (but
not the added redesign costs), even if CONTRACTOR was negligent in leaving it
out of the original design. If CONTRACTOR designed in the wrong part and that
part is installed and now needs to be removed, COMPANY shall not pay the re-
design costs and CONTRACTOR will be fully responsible for the cost associated
with installing and removing the wrong part (including the cost of the wrong
part if it cannot be returned to the vendor or used elsewhere in the Project),
and COMPANY shall pay only the material and construction costs for the correct
part (and there will not be an adjustment in the Project Schedule). If
subcontractors make mistakes, CONTRACTOR will be responsible for associated
costs (and the Project Schedule will not change to account for the mistakes).
Also, if market conditions change the price of materials, COMPANY shall pay the
cost change, but the Budgeted Cost of the Work will not be adjusted.
SCENARIO: The Design Documents prepared by CONTRACTOR and approved by COMPANY
- --------
show a 2 inch pipe. A 2 inch pipe is installed. However, the Facility requires
a 4 inch pipe. The 2 inch pipe is torn out and replaced by a 4 inch pipe.
RESULT: COMPANY originally paid the cost of designing the pipe and of the
------
2 inch pipe's procurement and installation. COMPANY now pays the cost of the 4
inch pipe's procurement and installation but receives a credit equal to the
amount originally paid to procure and install the 2 inch pipe. The amount of
the credit and the cost of any redesign work are borne by CONTRACTOR. The
Budgeted Cost of the Work is not adjusted.
SCENARIO: The Design Documents show a tank in one location and a pipe running
- --------
past the tank. A subcontractor negligently installs the tank in the space in
which the pipe is to run.
RESULT: COMPANY originally paid for the design of the tank and pipe and
------
for the cost of procuring and installing the tank and pipe. CONTRACTOR will pay
the additional cost of either removing and relocating the tank or relocating the
pipe. The Budgeted Cost of the Work is not adjusted.
SCENARIO: Soil studies obtained by COMPANY show a subsurface area clear of
- --------
obstructions. The Design Documents prepared by CONTRACTOR and approved by
COMPANY show a pipe running through the unobstructed area. When the area is
excavated, granite is found.
RESULT: Because the presence of the granite was not foreseen, COMPANY
------
shall pay the additional cost of reconfiguring or relocating the pipe or of
removing the granite. The Budgeted Cost of the Work is adjusted. However, if
CONTRACTOR had reason to know, or should have known, of the presence of the
granite, then CONTRACTOR would pay the additional cost of reconfiguring or
relocating the pipe or of removing the granite. The Budgeted Cost of the Work
would not be adjusted.

d) the guarantor waives his right to deposit (Hinterlegung) the amount
claimed.
2) For guarantees furnished by subcontractors or vendors that do not enter into
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
individual contracts (e.g. the AGBG does apply):
- -----------------------------------------------
a) the bonds and guarantees qualify as a "Burgschaft" under German law;
b) payment by the guarantor be made free of any restriction or
condition, whether by way of set-off (Aufrechnung), counter-claim
(Widerklage), defense of voidability (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) or
rights of retention (Zuruckbehaltungsrechte) or otherwise, and
c) the guarantor waives his right to deposit (Hinterlegung) the amount
claimed.

<PAGE>
Formula for the Calculation of Hourly Rates
1. Salary Rates
1.1 Employees with a single contract (not related to trade union
agreements/40 hours per week).
Current Actual Annual Salary for each employee scheduled to work on the
project is divided by 1792 hours to obtain the effective hourly salary
rate. Total hours for the year - 2080 is reduced by 30 days vacation
times 8 hours (240) and 6 days sick time (average for M+W) times 8
hours (48).
1.2 Employees with a contract related to trade union agreement/38 hours a
week/7.6 hours a day.
Current Actual Annual salary for each employee scheduled to work on the
project is divided by 1706 hours to obtain the effective hourly salary
rate. Total hours for the year - 1980 is reduced by 30 days vacation
times 7.6 hours (228) and 6 days sick time (average for M+W) times 7.6
hours (45.6).
2. The total annual Social Benefits cost is calculated for each employee
scheduled to work on the project based on their total annual salary as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Health Insurance 6.7% on salary up to DEM 72,000
Unemployment Insurance 3.25% on salary up to DEM 96,000
Pension 9.6% on salary up to DEM 96,000
Health for Elderly 0.85% on salary up to DEM 72,000
</TABLE>
The total annual social benefits costs for each employee is divided by
1792 hours (employees working 40 hours per week) or 1706 hours (employees
with a contract related to trade agreement working 38 hours per week) to
determine the hourly rate amount.
3. The actual hourly salary rate and the actual hourly social benefits cost
for each employee scheduled to work on the project are added together to
obtain a combined actual hourly salary and social benefit rate.
4. The combined actual salary and social benefits cost rate for each employee
included in a classification set forth on schedule 16.2.1.1 are added
together and divided by the number of employees included in the
classification. The result is a weighted average actual hourly and social
benefits cost rate for that classification.
5. An overhead rate of 75% is applied to the weighted average actual hourly
and social benefits cost rate for each classification to calculate the
total hourly rate for that classification.

contract shall follow all relevant regulations of this guideline, however,
it is advisable especially for all employees sent to foreign countries in
order to follow the applied tax laws of these countries.
4. DEFINITION OF PERMANENT OFFICE
- ---------------------------------
The permanent office is defined as the place where the employee is normally
spending most of his working hours and/or where he is reporting to.
5. DAILY ALLOWANCE
- ------------------
5.1 Business trips in Germany.
- -------------------------------
In case of business trips in Germany the employee is entitled to receive a
daily allowance for each calendar day as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
--------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
----------------------------------
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition that are forward-looking are based on current
expectations and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially. The forward-looking statements
relate to operating results, cash flows, realization of net deferred tax assets,
capital expenditures and adequacy of resources to fund operations and capital
investments; future business prospects for microprocessors, Flash memory device
products and other product lines; the effect of foreign exchange contracts and
interest rate swaps; the development, validation, certification, introduction,
market acceptance and pricing of the K86/(TM)/ products; the Company's
commitment to research and development; the effective utilization of Fab 25 (as
defined below); the proposed Dresden and FASL manufacturing facilities (which
are defined below); and the assembly and test facility to be constructed in
Suzhou, China. See Financial Condition and Risk Factors below, as well as such
other risks and uncertainties as are detailed in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission reports and filings for a discussion of the factors that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto at December 29, 1996 and December 31,
1995, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 1996. On
January 17, 1996, the Company acquired NexGen, Inc. (NexGen) in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. All financial data and footnote
information of the Company, including the Company's previously issued financial
statements for the periods discussed herein, have been restated to give
retroactive effect to the merger with NexGen.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
AMD participates in the digital integrated circuit (IC) market - memory
circuits, microprocessors and logic circuits - through, collectively, its
Communications and Components Group (CCG), its Computation Products Group (CPG)
and its Programmable Logic Division (Vantis). CCG products include Flash memory
devices, Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) devices, voice and data
communications products, embedded processors, input/output (I/O) devices and
network products. CPG products include microprocessors. Vantis products are
high-speed programmable logic devices. The Company's operations relating to I/O
devices and network products are currently included in the operations of CCG.
The Company previously reported such results as part of CPG. All results for CCG
and CPG for prior periods have been revised to conform to the new
classification.
The following is a summary of the net sales of CCG, CPG and Vantis in 1996, 1995
and 1994:
(Millions) 1996 1995 1994
---------- ----------- ----------
CCG $ 1,364 $ 1,434 $ 1,147
CPG 341 778 821
Vantis 248 256 187
---------- ----------- ----------
Total $ 1,953 $ 2,468 $ 2,155
========== =========== ==========
1996 net sales of $2.0 billion declined approximately 21 percent from 1995.
This decrease was primarily due to a decline in Am486/(R)/ microprocessor sales,
as both unit volume and average selling prices decreased significantly. These
decreases were partially offset by sales of AMD-K5/(TM)/ microprocessors which
were introduced in 1996. Net sales of $2.5 billion in 1995 increased
approximately 15 percent from 1994 primarily due to substantial growth in Flash
memory sales and secondarily due to an increase in sales of communications
products, the combination of which more than offset a decline in microprocessor
sales.
CCG net sales decreased from 1995 to 1996, as net sales of Flash memory devices
were flat and unit shipments of other CCG products declined. Flash memory
devices contributed a significant portion of the Company's revenues in 1996 and
1995. In 1996, the market for the Company's Flash memory devices saw increasing
competition and falling prices. The increase in CCG net sales in 1995 was due to
increased sales of Flash memory devices, primarily due to growth in unit
shipments and secondarily due to a change in product mix resulting in higher
average selling prices.
8
<PAGE>
CPG net sales decreased from 1995 to 1996 as well as from 1994 to 1995. The
decline in CPG net sales was in each case due to increased market acceptance of
higher performance fifth-generation microprocessors from Intel Corporation
(Intel), coupled with the Company's delay in introducing competitive fifth-
generation microprocessors. The Company's fifth-generation microprocessor, the
AMD-K5 microprocessor, was introduced relatively late in the life cycle of
fifth-generation products. As such, the Company believes the AMD-K5
microprocessor will be a transitional product and will not generate levels of
sales achieved by the Am486 microprocessor over its product life. The Company
intends to begin volume shipments of the AMD-K6/(TM)/ products in the second
quarter of 1997, although no assurance can be made that such shipments will
occur.
Vantis net sales decreased in 1996 due to lower unit shipments. The Company
believes this decrease was caused by decreased market demand in the simple
programmable logic market. The increase from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to
higher unit shipments. The Company is in the process of transferring its
programmable logic device operations to a wholly owned subsidiary, Vantis
Corporation. Vantis Corporation will rely upon the Company for manufacturing
services. A dedicated programmable logic device sales force was formed and began
operating as a separate unit in the second half of 1996.
All of the Company's products are in markets characterized by rapid
technological change and significant competition. As such, there can be no
assurance that trends, including falling prices for Flash memory devices,
reduced microprocessor sales and decreased unit shipments of programmable logic
devices, will not continue. See Risk Factors below.
Gross margin was 26 percent, 43 percent and 53 percent in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The decline in gross margin in 1996 was primarily due to lower
sales, the underutilization of certain production facilities, and increased
purchases by the Company of Flash memory devices from its manufacturing joint
venture with Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL), at
prices higher than the costs of similar products manufactured internally. The
decline in gross margin in 1995 was due to Am486 processor price declines;
increased purchases from FASL at prices higher than the costs of similar
products manufactured internally; negative gross margin, inventory and
manufacturing loss accruals associated with significantly reduced demand for
NexGen products; and the transition of Fab 25 costs from research and
development to cost of sales when production commenced in September 1995. The
impact of gross margin declines caused by purchases of FASL products during 1996
and 1995 was mostly offset by the Company's share of FASL income.
Research and development expenses were $401 million, $417 million and $295
million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease from 1995 to 1996
was due to the commencement of production at Fab 25 in the third quarter of
1995, when Fab 25 costs transitioned from research and development to cost of
sales. The increase from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to higher Fab 25
research and development expenses and secondarily due to increased
microprocessor development costs.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $365 million, $413 million
and $378 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease from 1995
to 1996 was primarily due to the cessation of expenses associated with products
from NexGen, which the Company no longer offers, coupled with effective expense
controls. The increase from 1994 to 1995 was primarily attributable to expenses
for the sale of Nx586/(R)/and other related products from NexGen, and
secondarily to higher advertising expenses.
Interest income and other, net was $59 million, $32 million and $17 million in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase from 1995 to 1996 was due to
realized gains of approximately $41 million from equity securities sold in
1996, which were partially offset by lower interest income as a result of lower
cash balances and lower interest rates during 1996. The increase from 1994 to
1995 was due to higher interest rates and a realized gain of approximately $3
million from equity securities. Interest expense was $15 million, $3 million
and $4 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase from 1995 to
1996 was primarily due to interest expense incurred on the Company's Senior
Secured Notes sold in August, 1996. Gross interest expense increased in 1996
and is expected to increase in the future, primarily due to interest expense
incurred on the Company's Senior Secured Notes and a four-year secured term
loan, as discussed below. Interest expense in 1995 decreased from 1994 due to
higher capitalized interest mainly related to the construction of Fab 25.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
The Company recorded a tax credit of $85 million in 1996, resulting in an
effective tax rate (benefit) of approximately 41 percent. The income tax rate
was approximately 28 percent for 1995 and 34 percent for 1994. The lower tax
rate in 1995 resulted from lower state taxes and increased benefits from foreign
income taxed at a lower rate. Realization of the Company's net deferred tax
assets ($46 million at December 29, 1996) is dependent on future taxable income.
While the Company believes that it is more likely than not that such assets will
be realized, other factors, including those mentioned in the discussion of Risk
Factors, may impact the ultimate realization of such assets.
International sales were 53, 56 and 55 percent of total sales in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. During 1996, approximately 16 percent of the Company's net
sales were denominated in foreign currencies. The Company does not have sales
denominated in local currencies in those countries which have highly
inflationary economies. (A highly inflationary economy is defined in accordance
with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 as one in which the
cumulative inflation over a three-year consecutive period approximates 100
percent or more.) The impact on the Company's operating results from changes in
foreign currency rates individually and in the aggregate has not been material.
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to buy and sell
currencies as economic hedges of the Company's foreign net monetary asset
position including the Company's liabilities for products purchased from FASL.
In 1996 and 1995, these hedging transactions were denominated in lira, yen,
French franc, deutsche mark (DM) and pound sterling. The maturities of these
contracts are generally short-term in nature. The Company believes its foreign
exchange contracts do not subject the Company to material risk from exchange
rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts are designed to
offset losses and gains on the net monetary asset position being hedged. Net
foreign currency gains and losses have not been material. As of December 29,
1996, the Company had approximately $25 million (notional amount) of foreign
exchange forward contracts (see Notes 3, 4 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).
The Company has engaged in interest rate swaps primarily to reduce its interest
rate exposure by changing a portion of the Company's interest rate obligation
from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. At the end of 1996, the net
outstanding notional amount of interest rate swaps was $40 million, which will
mature in 1997. Gains and losses related to these interest rate swaps have not
been material (see Notes 3, 4 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company participates as an end user in various derivative markets to manage
its exposure to interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The
counterparties to the Company's foreign exchange forward contracts and interest
rate swaps consist of a number of major, high credit quality, international
financial institutions. The Company does not believe that there is significant
risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because the Company monitors
their credit ratings, and reduces the financial exposure by limiting the
notional amount of agreements entered into with any one financial institution.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company's working capital balance decreased to $446 million at December 29,
1996 from $462 million at December 31, 1995 primarily due to continued capital
spending, particularly on Fab 25, repayment of the Company's $150 million four-
year term bank loan, and the net loss in 1996, which were offset by the net
proceeds from the sale of $400 million of the Company's Senior Secured Notes in
the third quarter of 1996. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments balance was approximately $386 million at December 29, 1996 compared
to $510 million at December 31, 1995.
Excluding the cash received from the sale of the Senior Secured Notes, the
Company's capital investments and its recent operating performance have resulted
in significant negative cash flow. In 1996 the Company made substantial capital
investments in its process technology and manufacturing capacity based, in part,
upon Company and industry projections regarding future growth in the market for
ICs. The Company plans to make capital investments of approximately $500 million
in 1997, excluding those relating to the Dresden Facility (as defined below) and
FASL. The Company's current capital plan and requirements are based on the
availability of financial resources and various product-mix, selling-price, and
unit-demand assumptions and are, therefore, subject to revision.

AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH (AMD Saxony), a German subsidiary wholly owned by
the Company through a German holding company, is building a 900,000 square foot
submicron integrated circuit manufacturing and design facility in Dresden, in
the State of Saxony, Germany (the Dresden Facility) over the next five years at
a presently estimated cost of approximately $1.5 billion. The Dresden Facility
is being designed for the production of microprocessors and other advanced logic
products. The Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to
support the project in the form of (i) a guarantee of 65% of the bank debt to be
incurred by AMD Saxony up to a maximum of DM1.65 billion, (ii) investment grants
and subsidies totaling DM500.5 million, and (iii) interest subsidies from the
State of Saxony totaling DM300 million. In March, 1997 AMD Saxony will be
entering into a loan agreement with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank
AG under which facilities totaling DM1.65 billion will be made available. In
connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to invest in AMD Saxony
over the next three years equity and subordinated loans in an amount totaling
approximately DM507.5 million. Until the Dresden Facility has been completed,
AMD has also agreed to guarantee AMD Saxony's obligations under the loan
agreement up to a maximum of DM217.5 million. After completion of the Dresden
Facility, AMD has agreed to make available to AMD Saxony up to DM145 million if
the subsidiary does not meet its fixed charge coverage ratio covenant. Finally,
AMD has agreed to undertake certain contingent obligations, including various
obligations to fund project cost overruns. The Company began site preparation of
the Dresden Facility in the fourth quarter of 1996, and plans to commence
construction during the second quarter of 1997. The planned Dresden Facility
costs are denominated in deutsche marks and, therefore, are subject to change
due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company plans to hedge future
foreign exchange exposure for the Dresden Facility.
The Company's total cash investment in FASL was $160 million at the end of 1996
and at the end of 1995. No additional cash investment is currently planned for
1997. In March of 1996, FASL began construction of a second Flash memory device
wafer fabrication facility (FASL II) at a site contiguous to the existing FASL
facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. The facility is expected to cost
approximately $1.1 billion when fully equipped. Capital expenditures for FASL II
construction are expected to be funded by cash generated from FASL operations
and, if necessary, borrowings by FASL. To the extent that FASL is unable to
secure the necessary funds for FASL II, AMD may be required to contribute cash
or guarantee third-party loans in proportion to its percentage interest in FASL.
At December 29, 1996, AMD had loan guarantees of $39 million outstanding with
respect to such loans. The planned FASL II costs are denominated in yen and,
therefore, are subject to change due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
In August, 1996, the Company sold $400 million of Senior Secured Notes due
August 1, 2003 under its shelf registration declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 17, 1994. Due to the sale of the Senior Secured
Notes, the Company fully utilized this shelf registration. Interest on the
Senior Secured Notes accrues at the rate of 11 percent per annum and is payable
semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing
February 1, 1997. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of
the assets of Fab 25 and its ancillary facilities, and are redeemable at the
Company's option after August 1, 2001.
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of Senior Secured Notes, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the
sale of Senior Secured Notes, were approximately $389 million. The Company used
$150 million of the net proceeds to repay its existing four-year term bank loan
which was to mature on January 5, 1999. The Company expects to use the balance
of the net proceeds of approximately $239 million for general corporate
purposes.
On July 19, 1996, the Company entered into a syndicated bank loan agreement (the
Credit Agreement) which provides for a new $400 million term loan and revolving
credit facility which became available concurrently with the sale of the Senior
Secured Notes. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's unsecured and unused
$250 million line of credit and its unsecured $150 million four-year term loan.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million three-year secured revolving
line of credit (which can be extended for one additional year, subject to
approval of the lending banks) and a $250 million four-year secured term loan
which the Company fully utilized in January, 1997. Additionally, as of December
29, 1996, the Company has available unsecured uncommitted bank lines of credit
in the amount of $85 million, of which $15 million was utilized.
The Company believes that current cash balances, together with cash flows, will
be sufficient to fund operations and capital investments currently planned
through 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RISK FACTORS
- ------------
The Company's business, results of operations and financial condition are
subject to the following risk factors:
MICROPROCESSOR PRODUCTS
Intel Dominance. Intel has long held a dominant position in the market for
- ---------------
microprocessors used in personal computers (PCs). Intel Corporation's dominant
market position has to date allowed it to set and control x86 microprocessor
standards and thus dictate the type of product the market requires of Intel
Corporation's competitors. In addition, Intel Corporation's financial strength
has enabled it to reduce prices on its microprocessor products within a short
period of time following their introduction, which reduces the margins and
profitability of its competitors, and to exert substantial influence and control
over PC manufacturers through the Intel Inside advertising rebate program. The
Company expects Intel to continue to invest heavily in research and development
and new manufacturing facilities and to maintain its dominant position through
advertising campaigns designed to engender brand loyalty to Intel among PC
purchasers. As an extension of its dominant microprocessor market share, Intel
also increasingly dominates the PC platform. The Company does not have the
financial resources to compete with Intel on such a large scale. As long as
Intel remains in this dominant position, its product introduction schedule,
product pricing strategy and customer brand loyalty may continue to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
As Intel has expanded its dominance in designing and setting standards for PC
systems, many PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have reduced their
system development expenditures and have begun to purchase microprocessors in
conjunction with chip sets or in assembled motherboards. In marketing its
microprocessors to these OEMs and dealers, AMD is dependent upon companies other
than Intel for the design and manufacture of core-logic chip sets, motherboards,
basic input/output system (BIOS) software and other components. In recent years,
these third-party designers and manufacturers have lost significant market share
to Intel. In addition, these companies are able to produce chip sets,
motherboards, BIOS software and other components to support each new generation
of Intel Corporation's microprocessors only to the extent that Intel makes its
related proprietary technology available. Any delay in the availability of such
technologies would make it increasingly difficult for them to retain or regain
market share. To compete with Intel in this market in the future, the Company
intends to continue to form closer relationships with third-party designers and
manufacturers of core-logic chip sets, motherboards, BIOS software and other
components. The Company similarly intends to expand its chip set and system
design capabilities, and offer to OEMs a portion of the Company's processors
together with chip sets and licensed system designs incorporating the Company's
processors and companion products. There can be no assurance, however, that such
efforts by the Company will be successful. The Company expects that as Intel
introduces future generations of microprocessors, chip sets and motherboards,
the design of chip sets and higher level board products which support Intel
microprocessors will become increasingly dependent on the Intel microprocessor
design and may become incompatible with non-Intel processor-based PC systems. If
the infrastructure of third-party designers and manufacturers which supports
non-Intel PC platforms were to fail to continue to support the Company's
products or to offer products competitive with Intel Corporation's, the Company
could experience difficulties marketing its microprocessors, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Dependence on New AMD Microprocessor Products. Am486 microprocessor products
- ---------------------------------------------
contributed a significant portion of the Company's revenues, profits and margins
in 1994 and 1995. Am486 microprocessor revenues in 1996 were significantly below
those of 1995. As the product life cycle of fourth-generation x86 products has
declined, the Company's ability to maintain or expand its current levels of
revenues from microprocessor products, and its ability to benefit fully from the
substantial financial commitments it has made to process technologies and
integrated circuit manufacturing facilities dedicated to the production of
microprocessors, has depended upon its success in developing and marketing in a
timely manner its future generations of microprocessor products, the K86 RISC
SUPERSCALAR/(TM)/products. The Company is currently shipping its
fifth-generation K86 products including the PR 133/1/, PR 150 and
PR 166 AMD-K5 processors which are designed to be competitive with the Pentium,
Intel Corporation's fifth-generation microprocessor. The Company anticipates
that the AMD-K5 microprocessor, which was introduced relatively late in the life
cycle of fifth-generation microprocessor products, will be a
______________________

transitional product, and will not result in the levels of revenue that the
Company realized from the Am486 microprocessor. The Company's AMD-K5 products
have not, to date, achieved substantial market acceptance, which has had and
continues to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company intends
to begin volume shipments of its sixth-generation microprocessor, the AMD-K6
processor, in the second quarter of 1997, although no assurance can be made that
such shipments will occur. The Company's production and sales plans for K86
microprocessors are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the
introduction and volume production of higher performance AMD-K5 products and of
AMD-K6 products, the possibility that volume shipments of the AMD-K6 may be
delayed due to the time required to verify operating systems and application
software compatibility, the development of market acceptance for the AMD-K5 and
the AMD-K6 products particularly with leading PC OEMs, the effects of marketing
and pricing strategies adopted by Intel, the possible adverse effects of
existing and future customer inventory levels, the pace at which the Company is
able to ramp production of fifth- and sixth-generation microprocessors in Fab
25, the possibility that products newly introduced by the Company may be found
to be defective, possible adverse conditions in the personal computer market and
unexpected interruptions in the Company's manufacturing operations. A failure of
the Company's K86 products, particularly the AMD-K6 processor, to be timely
introduced or to achieve market acceptance, would have a material adverse effect
on the Company. AMD is also devoting substantial resources to the development of
its seventh-generation Microsoft(R) Windows(R) compatible microprocessor, the
AMD-K7 processor.
Dependence on Market Acceptance of x86 Standard and Dominance of Windows.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer acceptance of the Company's K86 products will depend upon the continued
demand for x86-based personal computers, including the continued development of
application software programs for such computers. There can be no assurance of
the continued acceptance of the x86 standard or that software developers will
continue to develop software compatible with this standard. The Company's K86
products will face competition not only from x86 products manufactured by Intel
and others but also from products based upon an increasing number of different
architectures which have been developed or are under development by IBM,
Motorola, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment Corporation and
other manufacturers of integrated circuits. Several of these manufacturers, such
as Motorola, Digital Equipment Corporation, Silicon Graphics and Sun
Microsystems, produce microprocessors which are designed to be compatible with
such operating systems as Windows NT(R) and UNIX but not with Windows
or Windows 95. Currently, as a result of the dominance of the Windows operating
system, which operates with x86-based PCs, AMD is able to market its
microprocessors without significant competition from these manufacturers. AMD
would lose much of this advantage if the Microsoft Windows operating system
should be displaced as the dominant operating system software by one or more
other systems, such as Windows NT or UNIX. A reduction in the market acceptance
of either the x86 standard or the Windows operating system could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Compatibility Certifications. For its future generations of K86 microprocessors,
- ----------------------------
AMD intends to obtain Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT certifications from
Microsoft and other appropriate certifications from recognized testing
organizations. A failure to obtain certifications from Microsoft would prevent
the Company from describing and labeling its K86 microprocessors as Microsoft
Windows compatible. This could substantially impair the Company's ability to
market the products and could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Fluctuation in PC Market. Since most of the Company's microprocessor products
- ------------------------
are used in personal computers and related peripherals, the Company's future
growth is closely tied to the performance of the PC industry. The Company could
be materially and adversely affected by industry-wide fluctuations in the PC
marketplace in the future.
Possible Rights of Others. Prior to its acquisition by AMD, NexGen granted
- -------------------------
limited manufacturing rights regarding certain of its current and future
microprocessors, including the Nx586 and Nx686(TM), to other companies. The
Company does not intend to produce any NexGen products. The Company believes
that its forthcoming AMD-K6 processors are AMD products and not NexGen products.
There can be no assurance that another company will not seek to establish rights
with respect to the processors. If another company were deemed to have rights to
produce the Company's AMD-K6 processors for its own use or for sale to third
parties, such production could reduce the potential market for microprocessor
products produced by AMD, the profit margin achievable with respect to such
products, or both.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FLASH MEMORY PRODUCTS
Importance of Flash Memory Device Business; Increasing Competition. In 1996, the
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
market for Flash memory devices experienced rapid growth and increased
competition as additional manufacturers introduced competitive products and
industry-wide production capacity increased. The Company expects that the
marketplace for Flash memory devices will continue to be increasingly
competitive. A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from
sales of Flash memory devices, and the Company expects that this will continue
to be the case for the forseeable future. During 1996, the Company experienced
declines in the selling prices of Flash memory devices. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its market share in Flash
memory devices or that price declines may not accelerate as the market develops
and as new competitors emerge. A decline in the Company's Flash memory device
business could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
MANUFACTURING
Capacity. The Company's manufacturing facilities have been underutilized from
- --------
time to time as a result of reduced demand for certain of the Company's
products. The Company's operations related to microprocessors have been
particularly affected by this situation. Any future underutilization of the
Company's manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company plans to increase its manufacturing capacity by making
significant capital investments in Fab 25 and in Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany. In
addition, FASL has begun construction of a second Flash memory device
manufacturing facility (FASL II). There can be no assurance that the industry
projections for future growth upon which the Company is basing its strategy of
increasing its manufacturing capacity will prove to be accurate. If demand for
the Company's products does not increase, underutilization of the Company's
manufacturing facilities will likely occur and have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
There have been situations in the past in which the Company's manufacturing
facilities were inadequate to enable the Company to meet demand for certain of
its products. In addition to having its own fabrication facilities, AMD has
foundry arrangements for the production of its products by third parties. Any
inability of AMD to generate sufficient manufacturing capabilities to meet
demand, either in its own facilities or through foundry or similar arrangements
with others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Process Technology. Manufacturers of integrated circuits are constantly seeking
- ------------------
to improve the process technologies used to manufacture their products. In order
to remain competitive, the Company must make continuing substantial investments
in improving its process technologies. In particular, the Company has made and
continues to make significant research and development investments in the
technologies and equipment used to fabricate its microprocessor products and its
Flash memory devices. Portions of these investments might not be recoverable if
the Company's microprocessors fail to gain market acceptance or if the market
for its Flash memory products should significantly deteriorate. This could have
a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, any inability of the
Company to remain competitive with respect to process technology could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Manufacturing Interruptions. Any substantial interruption with respect to any of
- ---------------------------
the Company's manufacturing operations, either as a result of a labor dispute,
equipment failure or other cause, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company may also be materially adversely affected by fluctuations
in manufacturing yields.
Essential Manufacturing Materials. Certain of the raw materials used by the
- ---------------------------------
Company in the manufacture of its products are available from a limited number
of suppliers. For example, several types of the integrated circuit packages
purchased by AMD, as well as by the majority of other companies in the
semiconductor industry, are principally supplied by Japanese companies.
Shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of
supply or increased demand in the industry. If AMD were unable to procure
certain of such materials, it would be required to reduce its manufacturing
operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. To date,
AMD has not experienced significant difficulty in obtaining the necessary raw
materials.
14
<PAGE>
International Manufacturing. Nearly all product assembly and final testing of
- ---------------------------
the Company's products are performed at the Company's manufacturing facilities
in Penang, Malaysia; Bangkok, Thailand; and Singapore; or by subcontractors in
Asia. AMD has a 50-year land lease in Suzhou, China, to be used for the
construction and operation of an additional assembly and test facility. Foreign
manufacturing and construction of foreign facilities entail political and
economic risks, including political instability, expropriation, currency
controls and fluctuations, changes in freight and interest rates, and loss or
modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs. For example, if AMD were
unable to assemble and test its products abroad, or if air transportation
between the United States and the Company's overseas facilities were disrupted,
there could be a material adverse effect on the Company.
OTHER RISK FACTORS
Debt Restrictions. The Credit Agreement and the Indenture related to the
- -----------------
Senior Secured Notes contain significant covenants that limit the Company's and
its subsidiaries' ability to engage in various transactions and require
satisfaction of specified financial performance criteria. In addition, the
occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, failure to comply
with the foregoing covenants, material inaccuracies of representations and
warranties, certain defaults under or acceleration of other indebtedness and
events of bankruptcy or insolvency) would, in certain cases after notice and
grace periods, constitute events of default permitting acceleration of
indebtedness. The limitations imposed by the Credit Agreement and the Indenture
are substantial, and failure to comply with such limitations could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Dependence on Third Parties for Programmable Logic Software. Customers utilizing
- -----------------------------------------------------------
programmable logic devices must use special software packages, generally
provided by the suppliers of the programmable logic devices, to program these
devices. AMD provides its programmable logic device customers with software
which it licenses from third parties and is dependent upon third parties for
the software and continuing improvements in the quality of the software. No
assurance can be made that the Company will be able to maintain its existing
relationships with these third parties. An inability of AMD to continue to
obtain appropriate software and improvements from third parties or to develop
its own software internally could materially adversely affect the Company's
Vantis business, including the timing of new or improved product introductions,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Technological Change and Industry Standards. The market for the Company's
- -------------------------------------------
products is generally characterized by rapid technological developments,
evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements, frequent new
product introductions and enhancements, short product life cycles and severe
price competition. The establishment of industry standards is a function of
market acceptance. Currently accepted industry standards may change. The
Company's success depends substantially upon its ability, on a cost-effective
and timely basis, to continue to enhance its existing products and to develop
and introduce new products that take advantage of technological advances and
adhere to evolving industry standards. An unexpected change in one or more of
the technologies related to its products, in market demand for products based on
a particular technology or on accepted industry standards could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that AMD will be able
to develop new products in a timely and satisfactory manner to address new
industry standards and technological changes, or to respond to new product
announcements by others, or that any such new products will achieve market
acceptance.
Product Incompatibility. While AMD submits its products to rigorous internal and
- -----------------------
external testing, there can be no assurance that the Company's products will be
compatible with all industry-standard software and hardware. Any inability of
the Company's customers to achieve such compatibility or compatibility with
other software or hardware after the Company's products are shipped in volume
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance
that AMD will be successful in correcting any such compatibility problems that
are discovered or that such corrections will be acceptable to customers or made
in a timely manner. In addition, the mere announcement of an incompatibility
problem relating to the Company's products could have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
15
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Competition. The IC industry is intensely competitive and, historically, has
- -----------
experienced rapid technological advances in product and system technologies
together with substantial price reductions in maturing products. After a product
is introduced, prices normally decrease over time as production efficiency and
competition increase, and as a successive generation of products is developed
and introduced for sale. Technological advances in the industry result in
frequent product introductions, regular price reductions, short product life
cycles and increased product performance. Competition in the sale of ICs is
based on performance, product quality and reliability, price, compatibility with
industry standards, software and hardware compatibility, marketing and
distribution capability, brand recognition, financial strength and ability to
deliver in large volumes on a timely basis.
Fluctuations in Operating Results. The Company's operating results are subject
- ---------------------------------
to substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations due to a variety of factors,
including the effects of competition with Intel in the microprocessor industry,
competitive pricing pressures, anticipated decreases in unit average selling
prices of the Company's products, production capacity levels and fluctuations in
manufacturing yields, availability and cost of products from the Company's
suppliers, the gain or loss of significant customers, new product introductions
by AMD or its competitors, changes in the mix of products sold and in the mix of
sales by distribution channels, market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of
the Company's products, seasonal customer demand, the timing of significant
orders and the timing and extent of product development costs. In addition,
operating results could be adversely affected by general economic and other
conditions causing a downturn in the market for semiconductor devices, or
otherwise affecting the timing of customer orders or causing order cancellations
or rescheduling. The Company's customers may change delivery schedules or cancel
orders without significant penalty. Many of the factors listed above are
outside of the Company's control. These factors are difficult to forecast, and
these or other factors could materially adversely affect the Company's quarterly
or annual operating results.
Order Revision and Cancellation Policies. AMD manufactures and markets standard
- ----------------------------------------
lines of products. Sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders for
current delivery, or agreements covering purchases over a period of time, which
are frequently subject to revision and cancellation without penalty. As a
result, AMD must commit resources to the production of products without having
received advance purchase commitments from customers. Any inability to sell
products to which it had devoted significant resources could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of
the Company's products. Pursuant to the Company's agreements with distributors,
AMD protects its distributors' inventory of the Company's products against price
reductions as well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued.
These agreements, which may be canceled by either party on a specified notice,
generally contain a provision for the return of the Company's products in the
event the agreement with the distributor is terminated. The price protection and
return rights AMD offers to its distributors may materially adversely affect the
Company.
Key Personnel. The Company's future success depends upon the continued service
- -------------
of numerous key engineering, manufacturing, sales and executive personnel. There
can be no assurance that AMD will be able to continue to attract and retain
qualified personnel necessary for the development and manufacture of its
products. Loss of the service of, or failure to recruit, key engineering design
personnel could be significantly detrimental to the Company's product
development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Product Defects. One or more of the Company's products may possibly be found to
- ---------------
be defective after AMD has already shipped such products in volume, requiring a
product replacement, recall, or a software fix which would cure such defect but
impede performance. Product returns could impose substantial costs on AMD and
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

<PAGE>
Intellectual Property Rights; Potential Litigation. Although the Company
- --------------------------------------------------
attempts to protect its intellectual property rights through patents,
copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to protect its technology or other
intellectual property adequately or that competitors will not be able to develop
similar technology independently. There can be no assurance that any patent
applications that the Company may file will be issued or that foreign
intellectual property laws will protect the Company's intellectual property
rights. There can be no assurance that any patent licensed by or issued to the
Company will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights
granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop similar products, duplicate the Company's products or design around the
Company's patents and other rights.
From time to time, AMD has been notified that it may be infringing intellectual
property rights of others. If any such claims are asserted against the Company,
the Company may seek to obtain a license under the third party's intellectual
property rights. AMD could decide, in the alternative, to resort to litigation
to challenge such claims. Such challenges could be extremely expensive and time-
consuming and could materially adversely affect the Company. No assurance can be
given that all necessary licenses can be obtained on satisfactory terms, or that
litigation may always be avoided or successfully concluded.
Environmental Regulations. The failure to comply with present or future
- -------------------------
governmental regulations related to the use, storage, handling, discharge or
disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in the
manufacturing process could result in fines being imposed on the Company,
suspension of production, alteration of the Company's manufacturing processes or
cessation of operations. Such regulations could require the Company to acquire
expensive remediation equipment or to incur other expenses to comply with
environmental regulations. Any failure by the Company to control the use,
disposal or storage of, or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous
substances could subject the Company to future liabilities and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
International Sales. AMD derives a substantial portion of its revenues from its
- -------------------
sales subsidiaries located in Europe and Asia Pacific. The Company's
international sales operations entail political and economic risks, including
expropriation, currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations, changes in freight
rates and changes in rates for taxes and tariffs.
Domestic and International Economic Conditions. The Company's business is
- ----------------------------------------------
subject to general economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. A
significant decline in economic conditions in any significant geographic area
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Volatility of Stock Price; Ability to Access Capital. Based on the trading
- ----------------------------------------------------
history of its stock, AMD believes factors such as quarterly fluctuations in the
Company's financial results, announcements of new products by AMD or its
competitors and general conditions in the semiconductor industry have caused and
are likely to continue to cause the market price of AMD common stock to
fluctuate substantially. Technology company stocks in general have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the
operating performance of the companies. This market volatility may adversely
affect the market price of the Company's common stock and consequently limit the
Company's ability to raise capital. In addition, an actual or anticipated
shortfall in revenue, gross margins or earnings from securities analysts'
expectations could have an immediate effect on the trading price of AMD common
stock in any given period.
Earthquake Danger. The Company's corporate headquarters, a portion of its
- -----------------
manufacturing facilities, assembly and research and development activities and
certain other critical business operations are located near major earthquake
fault lines. The Company could be materially adversely affected in the event of
a major earthquake.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 29, 1996, December 31, 1995 and December 25, 1994
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AMD is a semiconductor manufacturer with manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
and Asia and sales offices throughout the world. The Company's products include
a wide variety of industry-standard integrated circuits (ICs) which are used in
many diverse product applications such as telecommunications equipment, data and
network communications equipment, consumer electronics, personal computers (PCs)
and workstations.
NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On January 17, 1996, the Company acquired NexGen, Inc. (NexGen) in a tax-free
reorganization in which NexGen was merged directly into the Company. At the date
of the merger, the Company reserved approximately 33.6 million total shares to
be exchanged, which represented eight-tenths (0.8) of a share of the common
stock of AMD for each share of the common stock of NexGen outstanding or subject
to an assumed warrant or option. The merger has been accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared to give retroactive effect to the merger of NexGen with and into AMD on
January 17, 1996.
Prior to its merger with AMD, NexGen reported on a fiscal year ending June 30.
In the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto,
NexGen, Inc.'s financial position and operating results as of and for the year
ended June 30, 1995 have been combined with the Company's financial position and
operating results as of and for the year ended December 25, 1994. NexGen, Inc.'s
financial position and operating results for 1995, which were restated to a
December 31, 1995 year-end, have been combined with the Company's financial
position and operating results as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Accordingly, NexGen, Inc.'s operating results for the six months ended June 30,
1995 were duplicated in each of the years ended December 25, 1994 and December
31, 1995. NexGen, Inc.'s revenues and net loss for that six-month period were
approximately $20 million and $34 million, respectively. Consolidated
stockholders' equity was reduced by approximately $54 million, which represents
NexGen, Inc.'s net stockholders' equity activity for the six months ended June
30, 1995 in order to eliminate the duplication of stockholders' equity activity
during that period. As a result of the combination of NexGen, Inc.'s financial
position as of June 30, 1995 with the financial position of AMD as of December
25, 1994, the beginning cash and cash equivalents balance in 1995 in the
accompanying 1996 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows does not equal the
December 25, 1994 cash and cash equivalents balance.
A reconciliation of net sales, net income (loss), and net income per common
share of the Company, as previously reported, NexGen and combined, including the
NexGen income tax benefit, is as follows:

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FISCAL YEAR.
The Company uses a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in
December, which resulted in a 52-week year ended December 29, 1996. This
compares with a 53-week fiscal year for 1995 and a 52-week fiscal year for 1994,
which ended on December 31 and 25, respectively.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated. Also included in the financial statements of the
Company, under the equity method of accounting, is the Company's 49.95 percent
investment in Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL).
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company's wholly owned
foreign subsidiaries. Translation adjustments, resulting from the process of
translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars, are
included in operations. The functional currency of the Company's unconsolidated
joint venture is the Japanese yen. The translation adjustment relating to the
translation of these statements was approximately $28 million and $6 million at
December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and is included in
stockholders' equity.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments which are readily convertible
to cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of
acquisition.
INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies its marketable debt and equity securities into held-to-
maturity and available-for-sale categories in accordance with the provisions of
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115),
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In
accordance with the FASB staff Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of
Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," the Company chose to reclassify, as of December 31, 1995, all cash
equivalents and short-term investments that were classified as held-to-maturity
at that time from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. Securities classified
as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value with the related
unrealized gains and losses included in retained earnings. Realized gains and
losses and declines in value of securities judged to be other than temporary are
included in interest income and other, net. Interest and dividends on all
securities are included in interest income and other, net.
Investments with maturities between three and twelve months are considered
short-term investments. Short-term investments consist of money market auction
preferred stocks and debt securities such as commercial paper, time deposits,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and marketable direct obligations
of the United States Treasury.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS
Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge the Company's net monetary
asset positions in its foreign subsidiaries and the Company's liabilities for
products purchased from FASL. Realized gains and losses from these hedges are
included in operations. Premiums and discounts, if any, are amortized over the
life of the contract and included in operations.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
The Company enters into interest rate swaps primarily to reduce its interest
rate exposure by changing a portion of the Company's interest rate exposure from
a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. The differential between fixed and
floating rates to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as an adjustment
to interest expense. Accordingly, the related amount payable to or receivable
from counterparties is included in other current assets or accrued liabilities.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated principally at standard cost adjusted to approximate the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value).

<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes and on accelerated methods
for tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as
follows: machinery and equipment 3 to 5 years; buildings up to 26 years; and
leasehold improvements are the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases or
the estimated economic useful lives of the improvements.
Effective January 1, 1996 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 requires
recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value
of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
assets. Adoption of SFAS 121 has not had a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
DEFERRED INCOME ON SHIPMENTS TO DISTRIBUTORS
A portion of sales is made to distributors under terms allowing certain rights
of return and price protection on unsold merchandise held by the distributors.
Pursuant to the Company's agreements with distributors, AMD protects its
distributors' inventory of the Company's products against price reductions as
well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued. These
agreements, which may be canceled by either party on a specified notice,
generally contain a provision for the return of the Company's products in the
event the agreement with the distributor is terminated. Accordingly, recognition
of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the
merchandise is resold by the distributors.
ADVERTISING EXPENSES
The Company accounts for advertising costs as expense in the period in which
they are incurred. Advertising expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately
$44 million, $44 million and $32 million, respectively.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Primary net income per common share is based upon weighted-average common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
Dilutive common equivalent shares include stock options, warrants, and
restricted stock. Fully diluted net income per common share is computed using
the weighted-average common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding,
plus other dilutive shares outstanding which are not common equivalent shares.
Other dilutive shares which are not common equivalent shares include convertible
preferred stock. Primary net loss per common share excludes common equivalent
shares as their effect on the net loss per share would be anti-dilutive. All
share information has been adjusted on a retroactive basis herein to give effect
to the merger with NexGen and the conversion of NexGen shares on a 0.8 to one
share of AMD common stock.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
The Company accounts for its stock option plans and its employee stock purchase
plan in accordance with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion
No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees." In 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board released the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS 123 provides an alternative to APB 25 and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. As allowed under SFAS 123, the
Company continues to account for its employee stock plans in accordance with the
provisions of APB 25. See Note 12.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences
may be material to the financial statements.
YEAR-END ADJUSTMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The Company made certain year-end adjustments in 1995, resulting from changes in
estimates related to the Nx586 product which was developed by NexGen. These
adjustments were material to the results of the fourth quarter. These
adjustments, related to accounts receivable and inventory, were charged
primarily to net sales and cost of sales and reduced 1995 operating income by
approximately $52 million. These adjustments had no impact on the Company's
operating results in 1996.
FINANCIAL PRESENTATION.
Certain prior year amounts on the Consolidated Financial Statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

NOTE 4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
As part of the Company's asset and liability management, the Company enters into
various types of transactions that involve financial instruments with off-
balance-sheet risk. These instruments are entered into in order to manage
financial market risk, including interest rate and foreign exchange risk. The
notional values, carrying amounts and fair values are tabled below.
Foreign exchange forward contracts
- ----------------------------------
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to buy and sell
currencies as economic hedges of its net monetary asset positions in its foreign
subsidiaries and liabilities for products purchased from FASL. The hedging
transactions in 1996 were denominated in lira, yen, French franc, deutsche mark
and pound sterling. The maturities of these contracts are generally less than
six months.
Interest rate swaps
- -------------------
Approximately $150 million of interest rate swaps matured in 1996 when the
Company repaid its $150 million four-year term loan. Additionally, during 1996
the Company engaged in interest rate swaps primarily to reduce its interest rate
exposure on a building lease obligation by changing a portion of the Company's
interest rate obligation from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis without
exchanges of the underlying notional amounts. The fixed interest rates are based
on one to five year swap rates, and the floating interest rates are based on
three or six months LIBOR. These remaining interest rate swaps with a notional
amount of $40 million will mature in 1997.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The estimates of fair value were obtained using prevailing financial market
information as of December 29, 1996. In certain instances where judgment is
required in estimating fair value, price quotes were obtained from certain of
the Company's counterparty financial institutions.

======== ========
On November 15, 1995, the FASB staff issued a Special Report, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." In accordance with provisions in that Special Report,
the Company chose to reclassify cash equivalents and short-term investments from
held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. At the date of the transfer, the
amortized cost of those securities was approximately $481 million. Since the
securities transferred on December 31, 1995 were short-term in nature, changes
in market interest rates did not have a significant impact on the fair value of
these securities. The net unrealized gains on these securities at December
29,1996 and December 31,1995 were immaterial.
25
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The available-for-sale equity securities that the Company held, included in
other assets, had a cost and fair value of approximately $15 million and $23
million, respectively, as of December 29, 1996, and a cost and fair value of
approximately $15 million and $75 million, respectively, as of December 31,
1995. At December 29, 1996, the total net unrealized gain on these equity
securities, net of tax, was approximately $5 million. During 1996, pre-tax gains
of $41 million were recognized, and the unrealized gain decreased by
approximately $14 million, net of tax, from December 31, 1995. The entire, net
of tax, unrealized gain is included in retained earnings.
As of December 29, 1996, the Company did not own any securities classified as
trading.
FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of short-term debt approximates fair value due to its short-
term maturity. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis based on estimated interest rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's other financial
instruments are as follows:

--------------------- --------------------
NOTE 5. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade
receivables and financial instruments used in hedging activities.
The Company places its cash equivalents and short-term investments with high
credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of
credit exposure with any one financial institution. Investments in time deposits
and certificates of deposit are acquired from banks having combined capital,
surplus, and undistributed profits of not less than $200 million. Investments in
commercial paper and money market auction preferred stocks of industrial firms
and financial institutions are rated A1, P1 or better, investments in tax-exempt
securities including municipal notes and bonds are rated AA, Aa or better, and
investments in repurchase agreements must have securities of the type and
quality listed above as collateral.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited
because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company's
customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company controls credit
risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. The
Company performs in-depth credit evaluations of all new customers and requires
letters of credit, bank guarantees and advance payments, if deemed necessary.
Bad debt expenses have not been material.
The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company's foreign exchange
and interest rate instruments consist of a number of major, high credit quality,
international financial institutions. The Company does not believe that there is
significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because the Company
monitors their credit ratings, and limits the financial exposure and the amount
of agreements entered into with any one financial institution. While the
notional amounts of financial instruments are often used to express the volume
of these transactions, the potential accounting loss on these transactions if
all counterparties failed to perform is limited to the amounts, if any, by which
the counterparties' obligations under the contracts exceed the obligations of
the Company to the counterparties.
NOTE 6. OTHER RISKS
PRODUCTS
Flash memory devices contributed a significant portion of the Company's revenues
in 1996. The Company expects that its ability to maintain or expand its total
current levels of revenues in the future will depend upon, among other things,
its success in developing and marketing in a timely manner its future
generations of K86 RISC SUPERSCALAR microprocessor products, and future
generations of Flash memory devices.
26
<PAGE>
MARKETS
The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapid technological
developments, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements,
frequent new product introductions and enhancements, and short product life
cycles. The market for microprocessors is primarily dependent upon the market
for PCs, and the market for Flash memory devices is primarily dependent upon the
market for communications devices. From time to time, the PC industry has
experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation
of, declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been
characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, and
resultant accelerated erosion of average selling prices. The Company's business
could be materially and adversely affected by industry-wide fluctuations in the
PC marketplace in the future.
INVENTORIES
Given the volatility of the market, the Company makes inventory provisions for
potentially excess and obsolete inventory based on backlog and forecasted
demand. However, such backlog demand is subject to revisions, cancellations, and
rescheduling. Actual demand will inevitably differ from such anticipated demand,
and such differences may have a material effect on the financial statements.
CUSTOMERS
The Company markets and sells its products primarily to a broad base of
customers comprised of distributors and OEMs of computation and communication
equipment. One of the Company's distributors, Arrow Electronics, Inc., accounted
for approximately 13 percent of 1996 net sales. No other distributor or OEM
customer accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales in 1996.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company derives more than half of its revenues from international sales.
However, only a portion of the Company's international sales were denominated in
foreign currencies. Further, the Company does not have any sales denominated in
the local currencies of those countries which have highly inflationary
economies.
Nearly all product assembly and final testing of the Company's products are
performed at the Company's manufacturing facilities in Penang, Malaysia;
Bangkok, Thailand; and Singapore; or by subcontractors in Asia. Wafer
fabrication of certain products is performed at foundries in Asia. FASL wafer
fabrication facilities are located in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. Foreign
manufacturing entails political and economic risks, including political
instability, expropriation, currency controls and fluctuations, changes in
freight and interest rates, and loss or modification of exemptions for taxes and
tariffs. For example, if AMD were unable to assemble and test its products
abroad, or if air transportation between the United States and the Company's
overseas facilities were disrupted, there could be a material adverse effect on
the Company's operations.
MATERIALS
Certain of the raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its
products are available from a limited number of suppliers. For example, several
types of the integrated circuit packages purchased by AMD, as well as by the
majority of other companies in the semiconductor industry, are principally
supplied by Japanese companies. Shortages could occur in various essential
materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If
AMD were unable to procure certain of such materials, it would be required to
reduce its manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect
on the Company. To date, AMD has not experienced significant difficulty in
obtaining the necessary raw materials.
NOTE 7. WARRANTS
On May 24, 1995, the effective date of NexGen, Inc.'s initial public offering,
all previously issued preferred series warrants were converted into warrants to
purchase common stock. The following summarizes the warrants outstanding as of
December 29, 1996:

Tax benefits resulting from the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the
disqualifying disposition of shares acquired under the Company's incentive stock
option and stock purchase plans reduced taxes currently payable as shown above
by approximately $2 million, $15 million and $37 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Such benefits were credited to capital in excess of par value when
realized.
Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax
carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income
tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are as follows:

========= =========
Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent on future
taxable income. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that such
assets will be realized, however, ultimate realization could be negatively
impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at
this time.
Pretax income from foreign operations was approximately $33 million in 1996, $61
million in 1995 and $46 million in 1994.
The net operating loss carryovers subject to limitation described above are the
result of certain ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Availability of these carryovers generally occurs ratably from
1996 through 2001. The federal and state tax credit carryovers expire beginning
in the year 2003 through 2011.

No provision has been made for income taxes on approximately $296 million of
cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because it is
the Company's intention to permanently invest such earnings. If such earnings
were distributed, additional taxes of approximately $102 million would accrue.
The Company's assembly and test plant in Thailand is operated under a tax
holiday which expires in 1998. The net impact of this tax holiday was a decrease
in the net loss of approximately $3 million ($0.02 per share) in 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In August, 1996 the Company sold $400 million of Senior Secured Notes due
August 1, 2003 under its shelf registration declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 17, 1994. Due to the sale of the Senior Secured
Notes, the Company fully utilized this shelf registration. Interest on the
Senior Secured Notes accrues at the rate of 11 percent per annum and is payable
semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing
February 1, 1997. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of
the assets of Fab 25 and its ancillary facilities, and are redeemable at the
Company's option after August 1, 2001.
On July 19, 1996, the Company entered into a syndicated bank loan agreement (the
Credit Agreement) which provides for a new $400 million term loan and revolving
credit facility which became available concurrently with the sale of the Senior
Secured Notes. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's unsecured and unused
$250 million line of credit and its unsecured $150 million four-year term loan.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million three-year secured revolving
line of credit (which can be extended for one additional year, subject to
approval of the lending banks) and a $250 million four-year secured term loan
available to the Company for a period of six months after the closing of the
sale of Senior Secured Notes and which the Company utilized fully in January,
1997.

leased assets was approximately $72 million and $71 million at December 29, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively.
The above debt agreements contain provisions regarding limits on the Company's
and its subsidiaries' ability to engage in various transactions and require
satisfaction of specified financial performance criteria. At December 29, 1996,
the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of such debt
agreements and all retained earnings were restricted as to payments of cash
dividends on common stock.

In 1996 and 1995, other income primarily consisted of gains resulting from the
sales of equity investments. In 1994, other loss primarily consisted of the $33
million settlement cost related to the class action lawsuits and stockholders'
derivative action offset by an $18 million gain resulting from an award of
damages in the arbitration proceedings with Intel. Also included in other income
(loss) for all years presented is the net gain (loss) on the sale of assets.

subsidiary. Transfers between geographic areas consist of products and services
that are sold at amounts generally above cost and are consistent with governing
tax regulations. Operating income (loss) is total sales less operating expenses.
Identifiable assets are those assets used in each geographic area. Export sales
are United States foreign direct sales to unaffiliated customers primarily in
Europe and Asia Pacific.
NOTE 12. STOCK-BASED BENEFITPLANS
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has several stock option plans under which key employees have been
granted incentive (ISOs) and nonqualified (NSOs) stock options to purchase the
Company's common stock. Generally, options are exercisable within four years
from the date of grant and expire five to ten years after the date of grant.
ISOs granted under the plans have exercise prices of not less
31
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of
grant. Exercise prices of NSOs range from $0.01 to the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of grant. At December 29, 1996, 2,970 employees were
eligible and participating in the plans.
On July 10, 1996, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AMD
approved a stock option repricing program pursuant to which employees of the
Company (excluding officers) could elect to cancel certain unexercised stock
options in exchange for new stock options with an exercise price of $11.88,
equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on July 15, 1996. Approximately 6.1 million options were eligible for
repricing, of which 5.3 million were repriced. The vesting schedules and
expiration dates of repriced stock options were extended by one year, and
certain employees canceled stock options for four shares of common stock in
exchange for repriced options for three shares of common stock.

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that allows participating
employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of the Company's
common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specified dates. At
December 29, 1996, 6,700 employees were eligible to participate in the plan and
551,765 common shares remained available for issuance under the plan. A summary
of stock purchased under the plan is shown below.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLANS
The Company maintains three stock appreciation rights plans under which stock
appreciation rights (SARs) either have been or may be granted to key employees.
The number of SARs exercised plus common stock issued under the stock option
plans may not exceed the number of shares authorized under the stock option
plans. SARs may be granted in tandem with outstanding stock options, in tandem
with future stock option grants or independently of any stock options.
Generally, the terms of SARs granted under the plans are similar to those of
options granted under the stock option plans, including exercise prices,
exercise dates and expiration dates. To date, the Company has granted only
limited SARs, which become exercisable only in the event of certain changes in
control of the Company.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLAN
The Company established the 1987 restricted stock award plan under which up to
two million shares of common stock may be issued to employees, subject to terms
and conditions determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The
Company entered into agreements to issue 320,609 and 226,427 shares in 1996 and
1995, respectively. To date, agreements covering 230,212 shares have been
canceled without issuance and 1,333,891 shares have been issued pursuant to
prior agreements. At December 29, 1996, agreements covering 656,109 shares were
outstanding under the plan and 10,000 shares remained available for future
awards. Outstanding awards vest under varying terms within five years.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to
follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" (APB 25), and related Interpretations, in accounting for stock-
based awards to employees. Under APB 25, the Company generally recognized no
compensation expense with respect to such awards.
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share is required by SFAS 123 for awards granted after December 31, 1994 as if
the Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair
value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to
employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-
Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value
of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no
expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:
Options ESPP
------------------------------------------
1996 1995 1996 1995
------------------------------------------
Expected life (years) 3.16 2.43 0.25 0.25
Expected stock price volatility 48.02% 53.29% 47.81% 42.15%
Risk-free interest rate 6.44% 5.88% 5.29% 5.69%
----- ----- ----- -----
For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's stock-based
awards to employees is amortized over the options' vesting period (for options)
and the three-month purchase period (for stock purchases under the ESPP). The
Company's pro forma information follows:
(Thousands except per share amounts) 1996 1995
---------------------
Net income (loss) -- as reported $(68,950) $216,326
Net income (loss) -- pro forma (89,451) 205,047
Primary net income (loss) per share -- as reported (0.51) 1.59
Primary net income (loss) per share -- pro forma (0.66) 1.51
Fully diluted net income (loss) per share -- as reported (0.51) 1.57
Fully diluted net income (loss) per share -- pro forma (0.66) 1.49
-------- --------
Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to awards granted subsequent to December 31,
1994, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until approximately 1999.
A total of 10,332,224 options were granted during 1996 with exercise prices
equal to the market price of the stock on the grant date. The weighted-average
exercise price and weighted-average fair value

of these options were $13.44 and $5.15, respectively. A total of 912,994 options
were granted during 1996 with exercise prices less than the market price of the
stock on the grant date. The weighted-average exercise price and weighted-
average fair value of these options were $7.49 and $12.14, respectively.
The weighted-average fair value of stock purchase rights during 1996 was $4.07
per share.
NOTE 13. OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PROFIT SHARING PROGRAM
The Company has a profit sharing program to which the Board of Directors has
authorized semiannual contributions. There were no profit sharing contributions
in 1996. Profit sharing contributions were approximately $45 million in 1995 and
$57 million in 1994.
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
The Company has a retirement savings plan, commonly known as a 401(k) plan, that
allows participating United States employees to contribute from 1 percent to 15
percent of their pre-tax salary subject to I.R.S. limits. The Company makes a
matching contribution calculated at 50 cents on each dollar of the first 3
percent of participant contributions, to a maximum of 1.5 percent of eligible
compensation. The Company's contributions to the 401(k) plan were approximately
$5 million, $4 million and $4 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
There are four investment funds in which each employee may invest contributions
in whole percentage increments. NexGen had a 401(k) plan which allowed employees
to contribute from one percent to ten percent of their pre-tax salary subject to
I.R.S. limits. NexGen did not match employee contributions.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases certain of its facilities under agreements which expire at
various dates through 2011. The Company also leases certain of its
manufacturing and office equipment for terms ranging from one to five years.
Rent expense was approximately $40 million, $37 million and $32 million in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
For each of the next five years and beyond, noncancelable long-term operating
lease obligations and commitments to purchase manufacturing supplies and
services are as follows:

------- ------
The operating leases of the Company's corporate marketing, general and
administrative facility expire in December, 1998. The leases provide the
Company with an option to purchase the facility for $40 million during the lease
term. At the end of the lease term, the Company is obligated to either purchase
the facility or to arrange for its sale to a third party with a guarantee of
residual value to the seller equal to the option purchase price.
At December 29, 1996, the Company had commitments of approximately $105 million
for the construction or acquisition of additional property, plant, and
equipment.
AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH (AMD Saxony), a German subsidiary wholly owned by
the Company through a German holding company, is building a 900,000 square foot
submicron integrated circuit manufacturing and design facility in Dresden, in
the State of Saxony, Germany (the Dresden Facility) over the next five years at
a presently estimated cost of approximately $1.5 billion. The Dresden Facility
is being designed for the production of microprocessors and other advanced logic
products. The Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to
support the project in the form of (i) a guarantee of 65% of the bank debt to be
incurred by AMD Saxony up to a maximum of DM1.65 billion, (ii) investment grants
and subsidies totaling DM500.5 million, and (iii) interest subsidies from the
State of Saxony totaling DM300 million. In March, 1997 AMD Saxony will be
entering into a loan agreement with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank
AG under which facilities totaling DM1.65 billion will be made available. In
connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to invest
34
<PAGE>
in AMD Saxony over the next three years equity and subordinated loans in an
amount totaling approximately DM507.5 million. Until the Dresden Facility has
been completed, AMD has also agreed to guarantee AMD Saxony's obligations under
the loan agreement up to a maximum of DM217.5 million. After completion of the
Dresden Facility, AMD has agreed to make available to AMD Saxony up to DM145
million if the subsidiary does not meet its fixed charge coverage ratio
covenant. Finally, AMD has agreed to undertake certain contingent obligations,
including various obligations to fund project cost overruns. The Company began
site preparation of the Dresden Facility in the fourth quarter of 1996, and
plans to commence construction during the second quarter of 1997. The planned
Dresden Facility costs are denominated in deutsche marks and, therefore, are
subject to change due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company plans
to hedge future foreign exchange exposure for the Dresden Facility.
In December, 1995 the Company signed a five-year, comprehensive cross-license
agreement with Intel. The cross-license is royalty-bearing for the Company's
products that use certain Intel technologies. The Company is required to pay
Intel minimum non-refundable royalties during the years 1997 through 2000.
NOTE 15. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In 1993, AMD and Fujitsu Limited formed a joint venture, Fujitsu AMD
Semiconductor Limited (FASL), for the development and manufacture of non-
volatile memory devices. Through FASL, the two companies have constructed and
are operating an advanced integrated circuit manufacturing facility in Aizu-
Wakamatsu, Japan, to produce Flash memory devices. The Company's share of FASL
is 49.95 percent and the investment is being accounted for under the equity
method. In 1995, the Company invested an additional $18 million in FASL. The
Company's share of FASL net income during 1996 was $55 million, net of income
taxes of approximately $30 million. At December 29, 1996, the adjustment related
to the translation of the FASL financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted
in a decrease of approximately $28 million to the investment in FASL. In 1996
and 1995, the Company made Flash memory device purchases of $234 million and
$128 million, respectively, from FASL. There were no purchases in 1994. At
December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995, amounts owed to FASL for Flash memory
device purchases were $27 million and $39 million, respectively. In 1996 and
1995, the Company earned royalty revenue, as a result of purchases from FASL, of
$21 million and $11 million, respectively.
Pursuant to a cross-equity provision between AMD and Fujitsu Limited, the
Company purchased approximately $13 million of Fujitsu Limited shares. Under the
same provision, Fujitsu Limited has purchased 3 million shares of AMD common
stock, and is required to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares over the
next several years, for a total investment not to exceed $100 million.
In March of 1996, FASL began construction of a second Flash memory device wafer
fabrication facility (FASL II) at a site contiguous to the existing FASL
facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. The facility is expected to cost
approximately $1.1 billion when fully equipped. Capital expenditures for FASL II
construction are expected to be funded by cash generated from FASL operations
and, if necessary, borrowings by FASL. To the extent that FASL is unable to
secure the necessary funds for FASL II, AMD may be required to contribute cash
or guarantee third-party loans in proportion to its percentage interest in FASL.
At December 29, 1996, AMD had loan guarantees of $39 million outstanding with
respect to such loans.
The following is condensed unaudited financial data of FASL:

NOTE 16. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
MCDAID V. SANDERS, ET AL.; KOZLOWSKI, ET AL. V. SANDERS, ET AL. The McDaid
complaint was filed November 3, 1995 and the Kozlowski complaint was filed
November 15, 1995. Both actions allege violations of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against
the Company and certain individual officers and directors (the Individual
Defendants), and purportedly were filed on behalf of all persons who purchased
or otherwise acquired common stock of the Company during the period April 11,
1995 through September 22, 1995. The complaints seek damages allegedly caused by
alleged materially misleading statements and/or material omissions by the
Company and the Individual Defendants regarding the Company's development of its
AMD-K5, -K6 and -K7 microprocessors, which statements and omissions, the
plaintiffs claim, allegedly operated to inflate artificially the price paid for
the Company's common stock during the period. The complaints seek compensatory
damages in an amount to be proven at trial, fees and costs, and extraordinary
equitable and/or injunctive relief. The court has consolidated both actions into
one. Defendants filed answers in the consolidated action in May, 1996 and
discovery has begun. Based upon information presently known to management, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
AMD V. ALTERA CORPORATION. This litigation, which began in 1994, involves
multiple claims and counterclaims for patent infringement relating to the
Company's and Altera Corporation's programmable logic devices. On June 27, 1996,
a jury returned a verdict and found that four of the eight patents-in-suit were
licensed to Altera. The parties have stipulated that the court, not a jury, will
decide which of the remaining AMD patents-in-suit fall within the scope of the
license that the jury found. The court will hear the first of two phases
regarding the remaining patents in April, 1997. Based upon information presently
known to management, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution
of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or results of operations of the Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
CLEAN-UP ORDERS. Since 1981, the Company has discovered, investigated and begun
remediation of three sites where releases from underground chemical tanks at its
facilities in Santa Clara County, California adversely affected the ground
water. The chemicals released into the ground water were commonly in use in the
semiconductor industry in the wafer fabrication process prior to 1979. At least
one of the released chemicals (which is no longer used by the Company) has been
identified as a probable carcinogen.
In 1991, the Company received four Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders from
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region
relating to the three sites. One of the orders named the Company as well as TRW
Microwave, Inc. and Philips Semiconductors Corporation. Another of the orders
named the Company as well as National Semiconductor Corporation.
The three sites in Santa Clara County are on the National Priorities List
(Superfund). If the Company fails to satisfy federal compliance requirements or
inadequately performs the compliance measures, the government (a) can bring an
action to enforce compliance, or (b) can undertake the desired response actions
itself and later bring an action to recover its costs, and penalties, which is
up to three times the costs of clean-up activities, if appropriate. With regard
to certain claims related to this matter the statute of limitations has been
tolled.
The Company has computed and recorded the estimated environmental liability in
accordance with applicable accounting rules and has not recorded any potential
insurance recoveries in determining the estimated costs of the cleanup. The
amount of environmental charges to earnings has not been material during the
last three fiscal years. The Company believes that the potential liability, if
any, in excess of amounts already accrued with respect to the foregoing
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various other actions which arose in
the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
