EXHIBIT 10.55 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ----------------------------------------- This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD") and Hector Ruiz ("Executive"). AMD and Executive may be referred to collectively in the Agreement as the "Parties." WHEREAS, AMD and Executive entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated January 13, 2000 (the "Original Employment Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Original Employment Agreement was supplemented by that certain First Supplement to Employment Contract dated December 22, 2000, by and between the Parties, as such First Supplement to Employment Contract was subsequently amended by agreement of the Parties (such First Supplement to Employment Contract as amended being collectively referred to herein as the "Supplement"); and WHEREAS, AMD and Executive desire to amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement and the Supplement, and in connection therewith, to incorporate the provisions of the Original Employment Agreement, as amended and restated, and the Supplement, as amended and restated, into one agreement, all as hereinafter provided; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Parties agree as follows: 1. Position. Executive will be employed by AMD as its President and -------- Chief Operating Officer, effective commencing upon the date of Executive's resignation from his immediately prior employer (the "Commencement Date"), reporting directly to W. J. Sanders III. During his AMD employment, Executive will also be a member of the Office of the CEO. Executive will be elected to the AMD Board of Directors at the first scheduled Board Meeting following the Commencement Date. During the term of his employment, Executive will be expected to devote his full working time and attention to the business of AMD, and he will not render services to any other business without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, or, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any business that is competitive in any manner with the business of AMD. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may remain a director of businesses with respect to which he is a director on the Commencement Date. Executive will also be expected to comply with and be bound by AMD's operating policies, procedures and practices that are from time to time in effect during the term of his employment. 2. Base Salary. Executive's initial base annual salary will be ----------- $750,000, payable in accordance with AMD's normal payroll practices with such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law. Executive's base salary will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and increased in April 2001 and from time to time thereafter, in the discretion of the Board of Directors. 3. Bonus. Executive's bonus each year will be equal to 0.3% of AMD's ----- Adjusted Operating Profit ("AOP") for that fiscal year in excess of 20% of AMD's AOP for the immediately preceding fiscal year, subject to a maximum award of $5M in any year.

Stock Options. ------------- a.

Commencing in April 2001, Executive will be granted annually nonqualified stock options to purchase 250,000 shares of AMD common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the grant date (the "Additional Options"). These Additional Options will each vest in two equal annual installments such that Executive will vest in 250,000 shares of AMD common stock each year commencing in 2005. 5. Retirement Benefit Replacement. ------------------------------ a. Lump Sum Benefit. On or before the time Executive attains ---------------- age 57 on December 25, 2002, AMD will provide him with a lump sum cash benefit of $3,727,020 (the "Retirement Benefit Amount" or "RBA"), which is estimated to be the current projected benefit available to Executive under the Motorola Executive Incentive Plan. b. Payment of RBA to Executive. The RBA will be paid as --------------------------- follows: (i) Establishment of Trust. Upon Executive's attainment ---------------------- of age 55 in December of 2000, AMD will establish a secular trust in Executive's name (the "Trust") pursuant to a Trust Agreement for the Hector Ruiz/Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

In January of ------------------------------------- 2001, Executive shall have the right, without restriction, to receive a lump sum payment from AMD in the amount of $3,200,000, as partial payment of the RBA. Executive hereby directs that at such time, AMD, as Executive's agent, shall deposit such lump sum payment with the Trustee. Upon such deposit, such lump sum payment shall become the principal of the Trust under the Trust Agreement. 2 (iii) Payment of Entire RBA Amount. Payments to ---------------------------- Executive of the principal of the Trust and any income or earnings on amounts held in the Trust shall be made at such times and in such amounts as provided in the Trust Agreement. If after such payments have been made to Executive the aggregate amount of such payments is less than the RBA, AMD agrees to pay to Executive on the date of the last of such payments the amount of such deficiency, so that on such date Executive has received the total RBA. c. Reimbursement to Executive for Certain Tax ------------------------------------------ Liabilities. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar ----------- quarter of the calendar years 2001 and 2002 (each, a "Quarter"), AMD will pay directly to, or on behalf and for the benefit of, Executive an amount equal to the "Tax Reimbursement Payment" (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any amounts paid by AMD to the Trust during such Quarter (which amounts shall, in the case of the first calendar quarter of 2001, include, without limitation, the deposit made with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii)), any income or earnings during such Quarter on amounts held in the Trust, and/or any payments by AMD to Executive during such Quarter with respect to the RBA (collectively, the "Taxable Income Inclusion").

If Executive ---------------------------------- receives payments with respect to the RBA, including Tax Reimbursement Payments, whether from the Trust and/or AMD, prior to his attainment of age 57, and 3 Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by AMD for "Cause" (as hereinafter defined), then Executive agrees to pay to AMD the amount of such payments, including any Tax Reimbursement Payments made directly to Executive or on his behalf, as follows: (i) to the extent such payment(s) is/are received by Executive on or before the date of such termination, Executive shall pay the amount of such paymen(s) to AMD within three business days after the date of such termination, and (ii) to the extent such payment(s) is/are received by Executive after the date of such termination, Executive shall pay the amount of such payment(s) to AMD within three business days after the date of such receipt.
