Preamble

On 20 November 2003, the Free State of Saxony as co-shareholder of Leipziger Messe GmbH, M+W and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (hereinafter “AMD Inc.”), which is the direct and/or indirect sole shareholder of the General Partner and of the AMD Limited Partners, entered into a Cooperation Agreement in order to use and develop to the industrial production stage semiconductor manufacturing technology and to produce 300 mm silicon wafers on which integrated circuits, in particular, for microprocessors are fabricated (“Wafer”) at a wafer production facility to be built in Dresden, in particular, for microprocessors, (hereinafter the “Fab 36”) with the support and the participation of the Free State of Saxony. Fab 36 is to be built and operated by the Partnership for this purpose. The Free State of Saxony uses Leipziger Messe GmbH as a Holding Company within the meaning of the Cooperation Agreement. Besides their interests as limited partners of the Partnership, Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W each participate in Fab 36 with a typical silent partner’s interest within the framework of the simultaneously concluded agreement on the formation of a silent partnership (“Silent Partnership Agreement”).

In December 2002, AMD Inc. entered into an extensive agreement with IBM for the joint development (Joint Development Agreement, hereinafter referred to as the “JDA”) of a technological basis for the manufacture of chips for high performance products of the future. The JDA encompasses cooperation in the range of 65 and 45 nm technology generations with the possibility of even smaller sized structures. This groundwork will be carried out on the basis of 300 mm Wafers. The manufacturing technology is intended to be adjusted, by continuous and rapid improvement, to the requirements of mass production and further developed according to market requirements.

Fab 36 is intended to be built beside the existing Fab 30. The commencement of industrial production is planned for 2006. The full capacity for the exclusive requirements of AMD Group companies is intended to be 13,000 Wafer outs per month. Buildings and clean room are designed for a capacity of 20,000 Wafer outs per month, which is to be used upon the joining of a further industrial partner. Up to approximately 1,035, [***] up to 1,400 qualified new jobs are intended to be created in Fab 36. Additional jobs at suppliers will also result. The Free State of Saxony attaches particular importance to the fact that the technological and financial basis of Fab 36 is secured as much as possible and will be further developed in Fab 36 and furthermore that its capital bears reasonable interest (“stand alone”).

The profit shares on these accounts shall bear interest at a rate of 6.5 % per annum calculated on an equated basis.

Article 5 MANAGEMENT AND REPRESENTATION

The Partners undertake to impose also on their staff members, company representatives and shareholders as well as lenders a duty of confidentiality to the extent provided hereunder.

Disclosure of confidential information to the banks funding Fab 36 and/or the capital contributions of the Fab 36 Partners or to the guarantors securing the bank loans or to the European Union shall be permissible provided that equivalent duties of confidentiality apply (in the case of the European Union as far as provided by law). Further exemptions from the duty of confidentiality may, in the individual case, be permitted by unanimous partner resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, each Partner shall be permitted to disclose the US income tax treatment and US income tax structure of the transactions set forth herein and set forth in related agreements. This permission to disclose includes the ability of each Partner to consult, without limitation of any kind, any tax advisor regarding the US income tax treatment or US income tax structure of the transactions set forth herein and set forth in related agreements. This right does not include the disclosure of other information including, but not limited to, (i) any parts of documentation which do not concern the US income tax treatment or US income tax structure of the transactions as

set out in this Agreement or in related agreements, (ii) the identity of participants or potential participants in the transactions except as such information concerns the US income tax treatment or the US income tax structure of the transactions as set out in this Agreement or in related agreements, (iii) the existence or the status of negotiations, (iv) any financial information except financial information relating to the US income tax treatment or US income tax structure of the transactions as set forth in this Agreement or in related agreements, or (v) any other condition or any other detail which is not of significance for the US income tax treatment or US income tax structure of the transactions set forth in this Agreement or in related agreements. The Partners acknowledge that this written authorization does not constitute a waiver by any party of any privilege held by such party pursuant to the attorney-client privilege or the confidentiality privilege of Section 7525(a) of the U. S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

6.2 This obligation shall survive the termination of this Limited Partnership Agreement and/or the withdrawal of the obligated party from the Partnership.

6.3 This obligation does not apply to information which (i) is generally known, or (ii) has demonstrably been developed independently by the receiving Partner, or (iii) has been lawfully obtained from a third party other than through breach of a duty of confidentiality.

6.4 Furthermore, this obligation does not apply if and to the extent that the Partners are obligated by law or on the basis of orders of government authorities or according to applicable stock exchange rules to disclose the information received.

6.5 The Partners note that, within the framework of the political decision-making, the Free State of Saxony as shareholder of Leipziger Messe GmbH will have to submit the draft agreements to Saxon ministries, to the Saxon cabinet and to the Saxon parliament. The same applies to the City of Leipzig as shareholder of Leipziger Messe GmbH. There shall be no liability of the Free State and/or of Leipziger Messe GmbH for breach of confidentiality within the framework of the respective decision-making. There exist no damage claims whatsoever in this respect, including, but not limited to, claims on the basis of Section 839 BGB and Article 34 GG [German Constitution]. Any waiver of damage claims shall produce effects as a contract in favor of third parties, in particular, in light of Section 839 BGB. Technical data and technical details must be fully protected; no limitation of liability pursuant to sentence 3 applies in this respect. Xxxxxxx 000, 000 XxxX [Xxxxxx Xxx on Stock Corporations] shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the reporting of the representatives of the limited partner Leipziger Messe GmbH in the partners’ meeting and the partners’ committee towards the Free State of Saxony.

9.4 The annual financial statements along with the audit report and the supplementary report as well as the auditor’s certificate shall, promptly but not later than five (5) months after the end of the respective business year, be submitted to the Partners together with the General Partner’s proposal for the appropriation of the profit/loss.

9.5 Unless otherwise agreed hereinafter, the Partners shall participate in the profit determined according to the German Commercial Code in the proportion of their accounts pursuant to para. 4.2 (including contribution account III); the AMD Limited Partners only shall participate in any loss amongst them in the proportion of their accounts pursuant to para. 4.2:

9.5.1 A loss shall be debited to the loss carryover account and a profit shall be credited to the current account, unless any other appropriation of the profit is decided by the partners’ meeting by resolution pursuant to Section 9.5.3.

9.5.2 If the loss carryover accounts show a loss carryover, the profit shares attributable to the AMD Limited Partners for the following years shall first of all be credited to the loss carryover accounts of the AMD Limited Partners.

9.5.3 The partners’ meeting may decide by unanimous resolution (para. 7.8.5) that the net income for the year/profit shares of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W be credited to the profit reserve accounts in whole or in part. Irrespective thereof, the profit shares of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W according to Section 9.5.4 for the business years ending on 12/31/2006 or later shall be attributed to the current accounts at the end of the relevant business year as far as permissible under the Syndicated Loan Agreement. The profit shares of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W for the business years ending on 12/31/2005 or earlier shall be attributed to the respective profit netting accounts of such Partners at the end of the relevant business year. The balance of the profit netting accounts of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W as per 12/31/2006 shall be credited to the current accounts of these two Partners as of 12/31/2006 as far as permissible under the Syndicated Loan Agreement.

9.5.4 The profit shares of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W amount to at least 11 % per annum of the aggregate amount of their paid in limited partners’ contributions I and II, regardless of whether or not a distributable profit is realized and regardless of the amount of any such profit. The profit shares of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W amount to no more than 13 % per annum, again related to the aggregate amount of their paid in limited partners’ contributions I and II. The profit share amounts to [***] per annum for each month in which [***] Wafer outs per month are achieved at Fab 36 and [***] per annum for each month in which over [***] Wafer outs per month are achieved, otherwise [***] p.a.

9.5.5 If and to the extent that the profit of the Partnership is insufficient to cover the profit shares pursuant to para. 9.5.4 - and in case of a loss -, the respective amount shall be debited to the loss carryover accounts of the AMD Limited Partners among them in the proportion of their accounts pursuant to para. 4.2.

9.5.6 If and to the extent that profits exceed the profit claims of Leipziger Messe GmbH and of M+W pursuant to para. 9.5.4, such profits shall be due to the AMD Limited Partners in the proportion of their accounts pursuant to para. 4.2.

***

9.6 The limited partners shall not be obligated to provide additional funds, even in case of liquidation. Section 171 (1) HGB remains unaffected.

9.7 Withdrawals may be made only up to an amount equal to the credit balance on the current account and – within the scope of Section 3.7 Sentence 2 – up to an amount equal to the credit balance on the contribution account III without a separate partner resolution (or according to the Partner Resolution pursuant to Section 3.7 Sentence 3, respectively) being required. Irrespective thereof, the AMD Limited Partners may withdraw sums equal to the taxes on income attributable to their interest in the Partnership without a separate partner resolution being required.

Article 10 DISPOSITION OF SHARES, OPTIONS

10.1 If a limited partner intends to transfer its limited partner’s interest to a company which is affiliated with such limited partner within the meaning of Section 15 AktG [German Stock Corporation Act], the other limited partners must give their consent if and when the following conditions are fulfilled:

10.1.1 The acquiring company must accede to all agreements concluded by and between the Partners in connection with the participation.

10.1.2 It must be ensured that the limited partner’s interest will be transferred back to the transferring Partner if and when the acquiring company ceases to be a company affiliated with the transferring Partner within the meaning of Section 15 AktG or the acquiring company engages in the design, development, production or distribution of semiconductor products, directly or indirectly (hereinafter “Competing Entity”). Companies of the AMD Group are not deemed to be such Competing Entity.

10.1.3 Furthermore, in case of Leipziger Messe GmbH, Leipziger Messe GmbH or the Free State of Saxony must, directly or indirectly, hold an interest in excess of 50% in the acquiring company and such acquiring company may not hold a majority interest in an other company, which is directly or indirectly engaged in the design, the development, the production or the distribution of semiconductor products, and has no such company as direct or indirect partner/shareholder.

10.2 If and to the extent that Leipziger Messe GmbH and/or M+W are outvoted by the AMD Partners in the partners’ meeting or in the partners’ committee in any of the matters specified in para. 10.2.1 through and including para. 10.2.4 hereinafter, the outvoted Partner shall be entitled to offer all of its limited partner’s interests to the AMD

Limited Partners for purchase. If the outvoted Partner exercises its rights, the AMD Limited Partners shall be obligated to purchase themselves, or to cause one or two or more third parties of their choice to purchase, all limited partner’s interests from such Partner; in the latter case, no consent of the partners’ meeting shall be required for the sale and the transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party/third parties:

10.2.1 increase of the Capital Accounts pursuant to para. 4.2, except increase of the Capital Accounts of the AMD Partners by way of cash contribution, provided that, in deviation from para. 7.7, sentence 4, first half-sentence, the increased capital shall carry no voting right,

10.2.2 consent to the disposition of shares of the AMD Partners in the Partnership if and to the extent that there is good cause conflicting with such disposition, except in the cases specified in para. 10.1, and consent to admission of partners, if and to the extent there is good cause to reject such admission,

10.2.3 investments insofar as the investment volume according to the applicable business plan is exceeded significantly, i.e. by more than [***] million per annum, or more than [***] million in total, unless such investments are financed through own or borrowed funds of companies of the AMD Group. Excluded herefrom are investments brought forward or delayed within the context of the business plan,

10.2.4 reduction of the share of the AMD Partners in the Partnership below 50 % or termination of the operative management (Section 17 AktG) by the AMD Partners.

10.3 The put option pursuant to para. 10.2 may be exercised by notice in writing to the AMD Limited Partners within two (2) weeks from adoption of the resolution by the partners’ meeting, and must be notified to the Partnership. In such case, every AMD-Limited Partner shall be entitled to require within four (4) weeks from receipt of the put option that the adoption of the resolution concerned be repeated at a new partners’ meeting. If the originally outvoted Partner and the AMD Limited Partners vote in the same way at such meeting, the put option shall thereupon terminate

10.4 In the event that the put option pursuant to para. 10.2 is exercised, the purchase price shall be determined pursuant to para. 10.5.2.

***

10.5 Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W shall be entitled to sell their limited partner’s interests to third parties (subject to paragraph 10.5.1) except Competing Entities or to offer them to the AMD Limited Partners (put option) five (5) years after the date when they completely paid in their limited partners’ contributions I and II (para. 3.3) and their silent partner’s contribution under the Silent Partnership Agreement. Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W shall thereafter have the same right every three (3) years. Exercise of the put option must be declared not later than one (1) year before the date on which it is to take effect. In the event that the put option is exercised, the AMD Limited Partners undertake to acquire the limited partner’s interests of Leipziger Messe GmbH and/or of M+W or to designate one or two or more third parties which acquire such limited partner’s interests; in the latter case, no consent of the partners’ meeting shall be required for the sale and the transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party/third parties. Upon first exercise of the put option pursuant to sentence 1, Leipziger Messe GmbH shall also be entitled to offer only one sixth of its limited partner’s interest in lieu of the total limited partner’s interest; the claim for consideration shall accordingly be reduced in the same proportion.

10.5.1 Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W grant the AMD Limited Partners a right of first refusal for their shares and shall transmit a written duplicate original of the agreement of purchase and sale to the AMD Limited Partners. Leipziger Messe GmbH and/or M+W must be notified in writing of the exercise of the right of first refusal within two (2) months from knowledge of the agreement of purchase and sale. The AMD Limited Partners may also designate one or two or more third parties as purchaser(s); in the latter case, no consent of the partners’ meeting shall be required for the sale and the transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party/third parties.

10.5.2 In the event that the put option is exercised, the purchase price will result from the balance on the Capital Accounts, the contribution account III, the profit netting account and the profit reserve account. The price payable by the AMD Limited Partners in case of exercise of the right of first refusal will result from the agreement between Leipziger Messe GmbH, and/or M+W on the one hand and the third party on the other hand, but shall not exceed the purchase price determined in sentence 1 (limited right of first refusal). Any claims and liabilities vis-à-vis the Partnership from the current account (para. 4.3) shall remain unaffected and will become due and payable at the effective date of the withdrawal at the latest.

10.6 The AMD Limited Partners shall be entitled to request to purchase from Leipziger Messe GmbH and/or M+W their limited partner’s interests (call option) 3.5 years after the date on which they have fully paid in their respective limited partners’

contributions I and II (Section 3.3). The AMD Limited Partners shall thereafter have the same right every three (3) years. The exercise of the call option may be declared no earlier than one (1) year and no later than four (4) weeks before the date on which it is to take effect. In case of exercise of the call option, Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W undertake to sell their limited partner’s interests to the AMD Limited Partners or to the third party/third parties designated by the AMD Limited Partners; in the latter case, no consent of the partners’ meeting shall be required for the sale and the transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party/third parties. In the event that the call option is exercised, the purchase price shall be in accordance with the regulation in para. 10.5.2 sentence 1 plus an amount of € 3.5 million for Leipziger Messe GmbH and of € 2.1 million for M+W.

10.7 If the AMD Fab 36 Cost Plus Reimbursement Agreement terminates pursuant to Article V para. 1 (b) thereof or otherwise on the basis of termination for good cause, Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W shall be entitled, optionally individually or jointly, to offer all of their limited partner’s interests to the AMD Limited Partners for purchase. In this case, the AMD Limited Partners shall be obligated to purchase from Leipziger Messe GmbH and/or M+W all limited partner’s interests or cause such purchase by one or more third parties designated by the AMD Limited Partners with no consent of the partners’ meeting being required in the latter case for the sale and transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party or the third parties. The amount of the purchase price shall be determined pursuant to para. 10.5.2 sentence 1 of this Limited Partnership Agreement.

10.8 Insofar as Leipziger Messe GmbH or M+W holds a direct or indirect majority share in a Competing Entity, the other Partners shall have the right, in proportion to their interests, to require from such Partner the transfer of its shareholding in AMD Fab 36 to it or to a third party (acquisition right) with no consent of the partners’ meeting being required in the latter case for the sale and transfer of the limited partner’s interest(s) to the third party or the third parties. In the event that the acquisition right is exercised, the provisions on compensation under para. 10.5.2 sentence 1 shall apply. If one or more Partners do not exercise this acquisition right, the acquisition right shall accrue to the Partner(s) who exercise(s) the acquisition right. In addition, the Partners with direct or indirect interests in a Competing Entity are strictly prohibited from disclosing to the Competing Entity technical information, including information regarding the technology to manufacture Wafers.

10.9 In all cases in which the AMD Partners are entitled and/or obligated hereunder to acquire limited partner’s interests from other Partners, the AMD Limited

Partners may also opt for withdrawal of the Partner concerned and accrual of such Partner’s limited partner’s interest to the remaining Partners; in this case, the same conditions apply as in case of purchase of the limited partner’s interest. Withdrawal and accrual shall be subject to the condition precedent that the compensation is paid within twenty (20) calendar days from the withdrawal date. The AMD Partners shall be liable for the claims of the withdrawing Partner besides the Partnership. In addition, AMD, Inc. shall be entitled, in all cases referred to in sentence 1, to directly acquire the relevant limited partner’s interests (genuine contract in favor of a third party).

10.10 The interests may not be encumbered and, in particular, no pledging, usufruct, granting of subinterests or a legal position by which a Partner holds a fiduciary position, shall be permissible without approving partner resolution pursuant to para. 7.1.6. The same applies to the transfer and encumbering of rights and/or duties hereunder, except payment claims of a Partner and except rights and duties of the AMD Partners and of AMD Inc. in connection with rights of first refusal, put options, call options and acquisition rights and duties regarding shares. Pledging of shares, in whole or in part, (including realization, in particular, by way of public auction) to secure a loan raised for the purpose of effecting the limited partner’s contribution, acquiring the limited partner’s interest or for funding the Partnership shall be permissible without special consent of the partners’ meeting; this applies to any pledging by Leipziger Messe GmbH and M+W with the proviso that the pledge contract is concluded only subject to the condition subsequent of acquisition of the interests concerned after payment of the purchase price as a result of exercise of any of the acquisitions rights, call options, put options and rights of first refusal specified in Article 10. Likewise, no consent of the partners’ meeting shall be required for the transfer of the partner’s interests of Leipziger Messe GmbH, of M+W and the Second General Partner to Dresdner Bank AG in case of realization of security interests in the partnership interests of the AMD Limited Partners created in favor of the lenders within the meaning of the Syndicated Loan Agreement.

10.11 Notwithstanding the regulations in Article 10, any disposition of shares shall be permissible only to the extent not conflicting with the obligations under the Federal/State Guaranty Decision (as amended).

Article 10a SPECIAL AGREEMENTS CONCERNING THE SECOND GENERAL PARTNER

10.a.1. The Second General Partner undertakes, upon request of Fab 36 Holding, at any time, to assign its interest in the Partnership to a natural person or to a company which is subject to German company law as designated by Fab 36 Holding. Such assignment shall be without consideration.

10a.2 The Partners, here and now, agree to such assignment in advance.

10a.3 The Second General Partner hereby authorizes Fab 36 Holding to fully represent the Second General Partner within the framework of the assignment of the interest in the Partnership with Fab 36 Holding being exempted from the restrictions of Section 181 BGB.

The date of mailing of the notice letter shall be decisive for establishing observance of the notice period. The right to give notice of early termination for good cause shall remain unaffected.

11.3 The terminating Partner shall withdraw from the Partnership. The Partnership shall be continued by the other Partners.

11.4 Each personally liable partner shall withdraw from the Partnership upon its dissolution. The limited partners shall be obligated, unless Article 12 applies, in time before the withdrawal takes effect, to form a legal person with respective articles of association and to accept the same as personally liable partner or to accept one or two or more limited partners as personally liable partner. Failing this within one (1) month from withdrawal of both personally liable partners and if Article 12 does not apply, the Partnership is deemed dissolved unless a natural and/or domestic legal person is personally liable partner in addition to the withdrawing personally liable partners.

Article 12 EXPULSION OF A PARTNER / COMPULSORY ASSIGNMENT

12.1 The partners’ meeting may decide by resolution to expel a Partner or to transfer its share to the other Partners in the proportion of their capital shares or to a third party if and when there is good cause therefor within the meaning of Section 133 HGB; the Partner concerned has no voting right in this case.

As from such date, Fab 36 Admin will have the votes of the General Partner specified in para. 7.7.

12.7 Following the withdrawal of AMD Fab 36 LLC, the Partnership will be continued by the remaining Partners as a limited partnership with Fab 36 Admin as further general partner.

If the invalidity or unenforceability of a provision is due to a specific extent of performance or a specific time (deadline or date) fixed therein, the legally permissible extent or time which comes closest to the provision shall be deemed stipulated.
