TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) together with the Plan, the Grant Notice, any country-specific terms and conditions for your country contained in the Appendix hereto, comprise your agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company regarding the restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) awarded under the Plan.

1.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The RSUs will vest on the date(s) shown on the Grant Notice provided that you continue to be an active Service Provider through each vesting date. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if your status as an active Service Provider terminates due to your death you will immediately vest in the Number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, you will have no right to receive Shares in settlement of such RSUs.
2.Settlement of Vested RSUs; Issuance of Shares. Subject to Sections 4 and 10 of these Terms and Conditions, and further subject to any applicable country-specific terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix, the Shares in respect of vested RSUs will be issued in your name on or as soon as practicable following the date the underlying RSUs vest (the “Standard Settlement Date”).
    Until Shares are actually issued in settlement of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unfunded, unsecured obligation of the Company.
3.Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, the RSUs may not be pledged, assigned, sold or otherwise transferred.
4.Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e) of these Terms and Conditions, if your status as a Service Provider terminates for any reason other than your death before the vesting date(s) shown on the Grant Notice, your unvested RSUs will be cancelled and forfeited without consideration. In case of any dispute as to whether your status as a Service Provider has terminated, the Administrator will have sole discretion to determine whether such termination has occurred and the effective date of such termination.
    For purposes of this Award, your status as an active Service Provider will be considered terminated (regardless of the reason for termination and whether or not the termination is in breach of Applicable Laws) effective as of the date you are no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or an Affiliate, and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Applicable Laws (e.g., active employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to Applicable Law). The Administrator will have the exclusive discretion to determine when your status as an active Service Provider terminates for purposes of this Award (including whether you may still be considered to be employed by or providing services to the Company or an Affiliate while on a leave of absence).
5.Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer:  make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and  do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items (including hypothetical withholding tax

RSU 2021 Agreement SVP and up    2
Approved May 2021 – Terms and Conditions

amounts if you are covered under a Company or Employer Tax equalization policy).. In this regard, you authorize the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company and/or the Employer;

(b)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares issuable or issued to you upon vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without your further consent or authorization); or

(c)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs; or

(d)requiring you to make a payment in cash by certified check or wire transfer.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, you are deemed for tax purposes to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.

If you are covered by a Company or Employer tax equalization policy, you agree to pay to the Company or Employer any additional hypothetical tax obligation calculated and paid under the terms of such tax equalization policy. Finally, you must pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

6.Other Terms and Conditions.
(a)The Plan. The Agreement is further subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. Only certain provisions of the Plan are described in the Agreement. As a condition to your receipt of the RSUs and any Shares issuable in settlement of vested RSUs, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Plan.
(b)Activation of Brokerage Account. This Award of RSUs is subject to and conditioned on your activation of a brokerage account with the Company’s designated brokerage firm on or before the last business day immediately preceding the first vesting date of the RSUs. If you fail to timely activate a brokerage account with the Company’s designated brokerage firm, then this Award and all of the RSUs covered by this Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited and you will not receive any other benefits or compensation as replacement for the RSUs.
(c)Stockholder Rights. Until the Shares are issued, you have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs.
(d)Employment Relationship. Nothing in the Agreement will confer on you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or the Employer or interfere with or restrict rights of the Company or the Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time.
(e)Change of Control. If your employment is terminated by the Company or the Employer (including for this purpose any successor to the Company due to such Change of Control and any employer that is an Affiliate of such successor) for any reason other than for Misconduct or, if applicable, by you as a result of a Constructive Termination, within one year after a Change of Control, then the RSUs will become fully vested upon the date of termination.

(f)Declination of RSUs. If you wish to decline your RSUs, you must complete and file the Declination of Grant form with Corporate Compensation and Benefits no later than one calendar month prior to the first vesting date of the RSUs. Your declination is non-revocable, and you will not receive a grant of stock options or any other compensation as replacement for the declined RSUs. Your decision to not timely file the Declination of Grant form will constitute your acceptance of the Award on the terms on which it is offered, as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
(g)Recovery in the Event of a Financial Restatement; Claw-Back Policy. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Administrator will review all equity-based compensation (including the RSUs) awarded to employees at the Senior Vice President level and above.  If the Administrator (in its sole discretion) determines that you were directly involved with fraud, misconduct or gross negligence that contributed to or resulted in such accounting restatement, the Administrator may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, recover for the benefit of the Company all or a portion of the equity-based compensation awarded to you, including (without limitation) by cancelation, forfeiture, repayment and disgorgement of profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company; provided, however, the Administrator will not have the authority to recover any equity-based compensation awarded more than 18 months prior to the date of the first public issuance or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (whichever first occurs) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.   In determining whether to seek recovery, the Administrator may take into account any considerations it deems appropriate, including Applicable Laws and whether the assertion of a recovery claim may prejudice the interests of the Company in any related proceeding or investigation. Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the RSUs (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by you upon any receipt of the RSUs or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the RSUs) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Laws, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy.

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

23.Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of the Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to you shall be addressed to you at your last residential or email address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 23, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to you shall, if you are then deceased, be given to your legal representative. Any notice shall be deemed duly given to you (or, if applicable, your legal representative), (a) if it is delivered by email, upon confirmation of receipt (with an automatic “read receipt” constituting acknowledgment of receipt for purposes of this Section 23(a)); and (b) if sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), on the second business day following deposit (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service or similar local service in jurisdictions outside of the United States.
24.Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs and the Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.

However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify you or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or the Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
26.Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. You shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when vested or settled pursuant to the terms hereof.
27.Termination, Rescission and Recapture. The RSUs are intended to align your long-term interests with the long-term interests of the Company.

(d)If the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that: (i) you have violated any of the requirements set forth in Section 27(a) or (b) above or (ii) you have engaged in any Activities Against the Company’s Interest (the date on which such violation or activity first occurred being referred to as the “Trigger Date”), then the Company will, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture of any or all of the RSUs, Shares issued or issuable pursuant to the RSUs, or the proceeds you received therefrom, provided, that such Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture shall not apply to the RSUs to the extent that such RSUs vested earlier than one year prior to the Trigger Date. Within ten days after receiving notice from the Company that Rescission or Recapture is being imposed on any RSU, you shall deliver to the Company the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, or, if you have sold such Shares, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded payment or delivery. Any payment by you to the Company pursuant to this Section 27(d) shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of Shares that you received in connection with the rescinded payment or delivery. It shall not be a basis for Termination, Rescission or Recapture if after your termination of employment, you purchase, as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of a Competitive Organization or Business, so long as (x) such stock or other securities are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and (y) such investment does not represent more than a one percent equity interest in the organization or business.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 27, in exceptional cases, the Company has sole and absolute discretion not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by you or the RSUs shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any other act by you or other equity awards.
(g)Nothing in this Section 27 shall be construed to impose obligations on you to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that this Section 27(f) shall not limit or supersede any other agreement between you and the Company concerning restrictive covenants.
(h)All administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Section 27 shall be exercised by the CLRC, or an executive officer of the Company as the CLRC may designate from time to time.
(i)Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 27, if any provision of this Section 27 is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any Applicable Laws, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under Applicable Laws. Furthermore, if any provision of this Section 27 is illegal under any Applicable Laws, such provision shall be null and void to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
(j)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 27 shall not be applicable to you from and after your termination of employment if such termination of employment occurs after a Change of Control.
28.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting; Exchange Control Requirements. Certain applicable foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect your ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including any dividends paid on Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country.

You acknowledge that you are responsible for complying with any applicable regulations, and that you should speak to your personal legal advisor for any details.

APPENDIX

Terms and Conditions
Restricted Stock Unit Award
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Appendix (this “Appendix”) have the same meaning assigned to them in the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”) and/or the Terms and Conditions to which this Appendix is attached (the “Terms and Conditions”).
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of RSUs in the United Kingdom. If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer residency and/or employment to another country after the grant of the RSUs or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company may, in its discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to you.
The additional terms and conditions set forth herein are based on the laws in effect in the United Kingdom as of April 2020. The laws of the United Kingdom are complex and subject to change. As a result, you should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at vesting of the RSUs, the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents or the subsequent sale of the Shares. Accordingly, if you are subject to the laws of the United Kingdom, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how those may apply to your particular situation.
UNITED KINGDOM
Terms and Conditions
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Terms and Conditions:
Notwithstanding any discretion contained in Section 11(d) of the Plan, RSUs will be settled in Shares only, not cash.
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 5 of the Terms and Conditions:
Without limitation to Section 5 of the Terms and Conditions, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax- Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer, as applicable, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer, as applicable, against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of immediately foregoing provision may not apply in case the indemnification could be considered a loan. In this case, the amount of the income tax not collected within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which may be obtained from you by the Company or the Employer at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 5 of the Terms and Conditions.
