インテルとAMDの和解契約（Settlement Agreement）

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC. AND

INTEL CORPORATION

This Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of the 11^th day of November 2009 (“Effective Date”), is entered into by and between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”), and Intel Corporation (“Intel”). In consideration of the agreement set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, AMD and Intel agree as follows:

RECITALS

A. Intel and AMD are parties, claimants, complainants or interested parties to the following lawsuits, disputes and administrative actions (collectively, “Actions”):

1. Delaware Litigation. AMD filed suit against Intel under the caption Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and AMD International Sales & Services, Ltd. v. Intel Corp. and Intel Kabushiki Kaisha, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Civil Action No. 05-441 (JJF), subsequently consolidated for the purpose of discovery as part of MDL No. 05-1717, entitled In re Intel Corporation Microprocessor Litigation. This suit is referred to herein as the “Delaware Litigation”;

2. Japan Litigations. Intel Kabushiki Kaisha, a Japanese Corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel (“Intel IJKK”), is a defendant in two suits brought in Japanese courts by AMD Japan Ltd. (“AMD Japan”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMD. AMD Japan filed a suit in the Tokyo District Court on June 30, 2005, case number 2005 (Wa) 13151, alleging acts of unfair competition by Intel IJKK involving sales of microprocessors to Japanese manufacturers of personal computers. Claimed damages in the Tokyo District Court suit are $55 million and interest based on Section 709 of the Civil Code of Japan. Also on June 30, 2005, AMD Japan filed a suit in the Tokyo High Court, case number 2005 (Wa) 4, alleging violations of the Antimonopoly Law of Japan principally involving sales of microprocessors to Japanese manufacturers of personal computers. Claimed damages in the Tokyo High Court suit are $50 million and interest based on Section 25 of the Antimonopolization Law of Japan. These suits are referred to herein as the “Japan Litigations”;

3. GF Dispute. On or about March 9, 2009, AMD closed a transaction with Advanced Technology Investment Company “ATIC” through which, among other actions, ATIC and AMD created a venture called GLOBALFOUNDRIES (“GF”), transferred AMD’s wafer manufacturing operations to GF, and claimed that GF was a subsidiary as defined under a January 1, 2001 Intel/AMD patent cross-license, and as such, entitled to rights thereunder. Intel claims that various aspects of this transaction have breached the Intel/AMD patent cross-license. Intel also has advised AMD and GF that by using, manufacturing, selling, offering to sell and/or importing products utilizing Intel’s patented inventions without a license, AMD and GF are each infringing certain of Intel’s patents. In response, AMD has accused Intel of breaching that patent cross-license.

B. AMD has alleged various claims against Intel in the Actions, including without limitation that Intel has been leveraging dominance in the supply of x86 microprocessors through the use of exclusionary, pricing, discount and other practices that unlawfully restrict AMD’s ability to compete. In the Delaware Litigation, both Intel and AMD have accused each other of violating the relevant standards related to evidence retention.

C. Intel filed an answer in the Delaware Litigation on September 1, 2005, denying all the material allegations of the complaint and asserting various defenses to each of AMD’s claims. Intel continues to dispute AMD’s claims.

D. To avoid the time and expense of litigation, and without any admission of liability or fault, the Parties wish to fully, finally and forever resolve, compromise and settle the Actions on the terms and conditions set forth below. Further, Intel and AMD acknowledge that for most of the last three decades, their relationship has been difficult, challenging and often acrimonious. Intel and AMD wish to change that relationship going forward, both by “wiping the slate clean” as to all past grievances, and by approaching future grievances in a constructive manner designed to address and resolve such grievances amicably, if possible.

2.3 TECHNICAL PRACTICES

Intel shall not include any Artificial Performance Impairment in any Intel product or require any Third Party to include an Artificial Performance Impairment in the Third Party’s product. As used in this Section 2.3, “Artificial Performance Impairment” means an affirmative engineering or design action by Intel (but not a failure to act) that (i) degrades the performance or operation of a Specified AMD product, (ii) is not a consequence of an Intel Product Benefit and (iii) is made intentionally to degrade the performance or operation of a Specified AMD Product. For purposes of this Section 2.3, “Product Benefit” shall mean any benefit, advantage, or improvement in terms of performance, operation, price, cost, manufacturability, reliability, compatibility, or ability to operate or enhance the operation of another product.

In no circumstances shall this Section 2.3 impose or be construed to impose any obligation on Intel to (i) take any act that would provide a Product Benefit to any AMD or other non-Intel product, either when such AMD or non-Intel product is used alone or in combination with any other product, (ii) optimize any products for Specified AMD Products, or (iii) provide any technical information, documents, or know how to AMD.

2.4 PRACTICES NOT A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT

2.4.1 Notwithstanding any of other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall a Third Party’s action, or forbearance from taking an action, merely as a consequence of Intel securing business sought by AMD constitute a breach of this Agreement by Intel, so long as Intel does not violate any of the terms of Sections 2.1.1 through 2.3.

2.4.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Intel in connection with its offer or sale of any microprocessor from Awarding any Benefit or Discount to a Third Party where such offer or sale, or term or condition thereof, meets in good faith a respective Benefit, Discount, or a type of term and/or condition then being offered to that Third Party by any other supplier with respect to a reasonably comparable microprocessor.

2.4.3 Intel may, without violating this Agreement, limit a Third Party’s use of its market development funds or other promotional funds to the promotion of Intel and Intel-based products unless such limitation includes a Restriction. “Restriction” shall mean a requirement imposed or required by or on behalf of Intel that the recipient of market development funds or other promotional funds from Intel (“Recipient”) may not include AMD or AMD products in a portion of an OEM catalog, retailer circular, web page or site, point-of-sale marketing piece, or event where such respective portion is not funded by Intel. The Intel Inside program rules dated as of April 1, 2009 are conclusively presumed permissible under this Agreement, except to the extent they include a Restriction.

2.5 PROCUREMENT

2.5.1 Neither Intel nor AMD shall either request of, suggest to or cause any public procurement agent or authority to issue or adopt a procurement specification for a Computer Product that excludes the qualification of a Computer Product employing the other Party’s microprocessor on the basis of a function, industry standard specification or benchmark that is immaterial to the intended use of the product.

2.6 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

2.6.1 Intel shall conduct regular training of all of its personnel engaged in microprocessor sales and marketing concerning the requirements and prohibitions contained in the Business Practices Section of this Agreement.

A Party’s execution of this Agreement, the agreements set forth in Section 3.7 below, its agreement to any term of this Agreement and/or the agreements set forth in Section 3.7 below, and any action taken by a Party pursuant to this Agreement and/or the agreements set forth in Section 3.7 below do not constitute and shall not be construed as an admission of liability or as a concession by any Party that any Claim or defense asserted or that could have been asserted by the other Party is valid.

3.3 Dismissal and Withdrawal of Claims and Allegations. Immediately after execution of this Agreement by all Parties, the Parties shall cause their respective counsel to sign Stipulations for Dismissal with Prejudice of the Delaware Litigation and the Japan Litigations, with each Party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, including without limitation proposed Orders of Dismissal, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 and incorporated herein by reference (“Stipulations of Dismissal with Prejudice and Proposed Orders”). AMD shall immediately file and/or lodge the Stipulations of Dismissal with Prejudice and Proposed Orders to: (i) effect dismissal of the Actions with prejudice, including without limitation all Claims asserted therein, with each Party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs; and (ii) authorize the Court in the Delaware Litigation to retain jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement to the limited extent permitted by Sections 3.6.a and 7, below.

3.4 Administrative Complaints and Administrative Actions.

a. AMD represents and warrants that it has not initiated, filed, intervened in or attempted to intervene in any Administrative Complaint or Administrative Action concerning Intel except for those listed on Exhibit D.

b. For each and every Administrative Complaint filed by AMD, AMD agrees to promptly (and in no event later than five (5) days after the Effective Date) notify in writing each authority to which such complaint was made that except as provided in Section 3.5, AMD has resolved its disagreements with and complaints concerning Intel contained in that Administrative Complaint and believes that this Agreement provides AMD with fair compensation for any and all actual or alleged harm and damages that AMD did or may have suffered in connection with matters addressed or encompassed within such Administrative Complaint.

c. For each and every Administrative Action listed on Exhibit D, AMD agrees to promptly (and in no event later than five (5) days after the Effective Date) notify in writing each authority listed on Exhibit D that except as provided in Section 3.5, AMD has resolved its disagreements with and complaints concerning Intel contained in that Administrative Complaint and believes that this Agreement provides AMD with fair compensation for any and all actual or alleged harm and damages that AMD did or may have suffered in connection with matters discussed in the Administrative Complaint. In addition, AMD agrees that it will not ghost-write or edit any other briefs, pleadings, or “friend of the court” or “friend of the tribunal” materials or briefs in any Administrative Action.

d. Except as provided in Section 3.5, AMD agrees not to participate in any Administrative Action that concerns, discusses or relates to conduct, events or allegations that occurred prior to the Effective Date, except as may be explicitly required by applicable law, such as responding to a lawful subpoena or other process administered in that Action. AMD agrees that it will not seek to intervene as a party or for any other status in any Administrative Action, and will promptly (and in no event later than five (5) days after the Effective Date) withdraw any motion to intervene as a party or for any other status in any Administrative Action, including without limitation any appeals from a denial of such a motion to intervene. For clarity, Section 3.4.d is not intended to and shall not limit AMD in any way from exercising any lawful right to petition any government agency regarding any conduct or event occurring after the Effective Date, nor shall it limit AMD’s rights as provided in Section 3.5.

3.5 Other Issues Related to Administrative Actions.

a. AMD has challenged as illegal certain alleged Intel pricing practices for Intel Microprocessors and platforms for use in Computer Products by which a price, discount, rebate or other financial benefit (“Discount”) was conditioned on a customer’s volume or share of such Intel microprocessor purchases from Intel and on the customer’s achieving the qualifying threshold, and was then applied to purchases below the volume level qualifying the customer for the Discount (“Retroactive Discount”).

b. AMD has challenged as illegal certain alleged Intel pricing practices by which a fund for defraying the cost of Intel Microprocessors for use in Computer Products was established to allow a customer to make bids such that, after accounting for the use of such fund, the cost of the Intel Microprocessor would be below the appropriate measure of variable cost (“Accused Bid Bucket”).

c. AMD has challenged as illegal certain alleged Intel pricing practices by which a Discount was provided to an end user purchaser of any Computer Product containing an Intel Microprocessor that when combined with any other Discount provided by Intel with respect to the Intel Microprocessor included in the purchased Computer Product, results in an effective Intel Microprocessor price below the appropriate measure of variable cost (“Accused End-User Discount”).

d. Intel and AMD do not have any understanding or agreement regarding Intel’s freedom to enter into Retroactive Discounts, Accused Bid Buckets and/or Accused End-User Discounts and this Agreement in no way affects or limits Intel’s decisions regarding pricing and discounting or restricts or limits in any way Intel’s complete freedom in setting prices and discounts and in devising and implementing any and all related policies and procedures.

e. Intel agrees that in the event it enters into voluntary settlement discussions with a government authority in the EC Litigation, New York Litigation or the FTC Investigation, and if such government authority proposes to include in a consent judgment or other governmental order a prohibition against Retroactive Discounts, Accused Bid Buckets or Accused End-User Discounts, Intel will not challenge such a prohibition as a general matter, although it may challenge the scope or specific language of the prohibition. It is expressly understood, however, that Intel remains completely free to litigate and oppose the EC Litigation, New York Litigation and the FTC Investigation to finality and to reject any proposed settlement.

f. Intel understands that AMD will contend to the European Commission, the New York Attorney General and to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that any Intel Retroactive Discounts, Accused Bid Buckets or Accused End-User Discounts are anticompetitive and unlawful and that they should be prohibited by any consent order or remedial injunction entered in the EC Litigation, New York Litigation and/or the FTC Investigation. In the course of contending for the prohibition of Intel Retroactive Discounts, Accused Bid Buckets or Accused End-User Discounts in accordance with this Section 3.5.d, AMD may disclose to the respective authorities the terms of Sections 2.0 and 3.5 hereto.

3.6 Further Provisions Regarding Existing Litigations and Related Matters.

a. Delaware Litigation and Japan Litigations. Unless otherwise required by law, the Parties shall follow the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order entered September 26, 2006 in the Delaware Litigation, except that the first sentence of Section 24 of that Order shall be modified to substitute the portion of the sentence reading “Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the conclusion of the AMD Litigation or the Class Litigation” to instead read, “Within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the AMD Litigation, the Class Litigation or any other lawsuit, Administrative Complaint or Administrative Action that alleges that Intel has violated the antitrust, unfair competition or similar laws or regulations of any jurisdiction.” Each AMD or Intel outside counsel who maintains access to Protective Order Material shall maintain such material in a manner strictly subject to the terms of that protective order, as modified, and the Court’s continuing jurisdiction to enforce the terms thereof and redress violations thereof, except that, notwithstanding any term of the Protective Order to the contrary, Intel shall have the right to provide such material to any investigating agency, court or other tribunal, provided that it seeks from such agency, court, or other tribunal protection against the public disclosure of such material to the maximum extent provided for under the rules of such agency, court, or tribunal. Nothing in this Paragraph 3.6(a) shall restrict either party’s rights under Paragraph 16 of the referenced Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order in the Delaware litigation.

b. GF Dispute. Intel and AMD hereby withdraw all Claims they have threatened to assert, or have asserted, in the GF Dispute.

3.7 Execution of Contemporaneous Agreements.

a. Intel and AMD shall enter into the New Patent Cross License, and the entry into such agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

b. Intel and GF shall enter into the GF Agreement, and the entry into such agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

All third parties included within the scope of the preceding release, pursuant to Section 1.11, are expressly agreed to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

4.4 Complete Settlement. Except for the rights and obligations expressly created or reserved by this Agreement and by the agreements referred to in Section 3.7, each Party does hereby release, acquit, and forever discharge the other Parties from all Claims for attorneys’ fees, contribution, costs, expenses and/or indemnity based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the Actions. The Parties agree that this Agreement is in full and complete settlement of the rights and obligations of the Parties in connection with the Actions.

4.5 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The Parties expressly waive the benefits of any statutory provision or common law rule that provides, in sum or substance, that a release does not extend to claims that the Party does not know or expect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it, would have materially affected its settlement with the other Party. In particular, but without limitation, each Party expressly waives the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542, which reads:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

4.6 Covenant Not to Sue. The Parties expressly understand that both direct and indirect breaches of this Agreement are precluded. Therefore, the Parties each agree that they will not institute or prosecute, against the other, any action or other proceeding based in whole or in part upon any Claims released by this Agreement. Further, the Parties each agree that they will not authorize, or solicit the commencement or prosecution against the other Party of, any action or other legal proceeding based in whole or in part upon any Claims released by this Agreement.

4.7. Past Intel Conduct. AMD agrees that, except as provided in Section 3.5, this Agreement is a full, final and fair resolution of any and all actual, alleged, claimed or potential harm suffered by AMD or that AMD has claimed or could claim to have incurred as a result of any Intel conduct or acts that occurred on or prior to the Effective Date, including without limitation any such conduct complained of in the Actions (collectively “Pre-Effective Date Conduct”). AMD covenants and agrees that this Agreement fully compensates AMD for any and all such harm from Pre-Effective Date Conduct, and accordingly, AMD agrees that, except as provided in Section 3.5, it shall make no complaints to Governmental Authorities regarding any such conduct or harm.

4.8 No Assignment of Claims. Each Party hereto represents and warrants that it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to every Claim and every matter which it purports to release, and that it has not sold, assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or encumbered, or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, voluntarily or involuntarily, any Claims released pursuant to this Agreement.

5.0 CONFIDENTIALITY

7.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT & FUTURE RELATIONSHIP

7.1 Claims Subject to Dispute Resolution Processes. The dispute resolution process contained in this Section 7.0 shall apply to and govern the resolution of any and all Disputes that arise in any way from any Post-Effective Date Conduct. For purposes of this Section 7.0, “Dispute” shall mean any and all acts, actions and/or Claims by AMD against Intel and all acts, actions and/or Claims by Intel against AMD that a Party suspects, believes, or contends violates or may violate the competition, antitrust, unfair competition, or similar laws of any jurisdiction, and all Claims by any Party arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or its performance. Each and every Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 7.0, which shall constitute the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such Dispute. The Parties agree to resolve each and every such Dispute through an escalation process as follows: Informal, Private Dispute Resolution Process, followed if necessary by Non-Binding Mediation, followed if necessary by Non-Binding Arbitration, followed if necessary by Litigation, as described in this Section 7.0.

7.2 Informal, Private, Dispute Resolution Processes. At least once every calendar quarter, for the duration of Section 2.0 of this Agreement, the General Counsel of each Party, or their designees, shall meet to discuss and attempt in good faith to resolve any unresolved Dispute. The attendees at the meeting shall attempt to procure, in advance of such meetings, the requisite authority to resolve such disputes.

a. At least thirty (30) days before the date established for such meeting, the Party who has a Dispute (“Complaining Party”) shall provide to the other Party (“Responding Party”) written notice as to any and all new or unresolved Dispute. The notice shall include a brief statement of the Complaining Party’s position, summary of the relevant facts, and statement of the relief requested.

b. At least fifteen (15) days before such meeting, the Responding Party shall provide to the Complaining Party a written response to each Dispute set forth in the notice. The response shall include a brief statement of the Responding Party’s position, summary of the relevant facts, and response to the relief requested.

c. All notices or responses prepared, or discussions conducted, under this process are confidential, and shall be treated as inadmissible compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of all applicable rules of evidence or procedure.

d. The Parties may agree on different procedures with respect to the informal private dispute resolution process described in Section 7.2, either generally or in response to a particular Dispute. For example and without limitation, the Parties may agree to meet more or less frequently than contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties also may agree to defer consideration of or the exchange of information relating to a particular Dispute rather than attempting to present and resolve such Dispute within the time period contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or limit the Parties from agreeing to modify these informal private dispute resolution processes if in their mutual judgment doing so will further the intent of this Agreement.

7.3 Non-Binding Mediation.

a. As to any Dispute that is not resolved by negotiation in accordance with the procedures in Section 7.2 at or within thirty (30) days after the quarterly meeting of the Parties, or within thirty (30) days after the last day of a calendar quarter, whichever is earlier, any Party may serve on the other a notice of a request for mediation, setting forth the precise Dispute(s) to be mediated. Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties will select a mediator from JAMS. If they are unable to agree on a mediator within fifteen days following service of the Notice, JAMS shall within five (5) days select and appoint a mediator for them.

b. The Parties shall equally split the cost of the mediator. All issues relating to the timing of the mediation, its location and the conduct of the mediation shall be determined by the mediator; provided, however, that (i) the mediation must result in a final recommendation of the mediator being provided to the Parties to the Dispute no later than thirty (30) days following the mediator’s appointment; and (ii) that in all circumstances, the mediation materials are confidential and shall be treated as inadmissible mediation materials for purposes of all applicable rules of evidence or procedure.

c. The Parties may mutually agree in writing on different procedures with respect to the mediation described in Sections 7.3.a and 7.3.b.

7.4 Non-Binding Arbitration.

a. As to any Dispute that is not resolved by mediation in accordance with the procedures in Section 7.3, any Party may initiate non-binding arbitration with JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Procedures”) then currently in effect. Except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted under the JAMS Procedures.

b. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by the Complaining Party and one of whom shall be selected by the Responding Party within ten (10) days of the Commencement of the arbitration under JAMS Procedures, and the third to be selected by the Party-appointed arbitrators within ten (10) days of the second selection. If the party-nominated Arbitrators fail or are unable to timely select a mutually agreeable third Arbitrator, the third Arbitrator shall be selected and appointed within ten (10) days in accordance with JAMS Procedures. Any person who has served under the provisions of Section 7.3 or Section 7.5 of this Agreement with respect to the particular Dispute at issue shall be ineligible to serve as an Arbitrator under Section 7.4. The arbitrators shall hold an arbitration hearing within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator.

c. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California, or such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.

d. The Arbitrators shall issue a final arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the arbitration hearing. The award shall include a written statement of the basis for the decision, including the facts and law supporting it. If the Arbitrators are not unanimous, the dissenting Arbitrator may in the award include a statement of the basis of disagreement. The award shall be confidential and subject to the provisions of Section 5.0 of this Agreement or the JAMS Procedures, whichever is more restrictive, shall be advisory to the Parties only, and shall not be admissible as evidence, or used in any manner or way in any litigation.

e. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a particular Dispute may involve a claim of irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy available at law and, in such event, in addition to any other remedies available, the Arbitrators shall have the authority to award specific performance and injunctive relief in an appropriate case. Any award of specific performance or injunctive relief shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.4.d.

f. Notwithstanding any statute or other substantive law under which a Party may submit a Dispute, the Arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive, enhanced, trebled or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages.

g. The Parties may agree on different procedures with respect to the Arbitration described in Section 7.4a.-f.

h. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the JAMS Procedures, this Agreement shall govern.

7.5 Claims of Immediate and Irreparable Injury. The Parties agree that if any Party believes that a Dispute threatens it with immediate and irreparable injury, then the Party may apply for temporary injunctive relief in accordance with the JAMS Procedures without first exhausting the procedures described in Sections 7.3 or 7.4. The Arbitrator in connection with such claims for immediate and irreparable relief shall be selected by JAMS. The Arbitrator’s role in the event of a claim for temporary injunctive relief shall be (i) to determine within five (5) days following an Complaining Party’s filing of its Application with JAMS and its service on the Responding Party whether such relief shall be granted pending the arbitrator’s ruling at a further hearing on the Application; (ii) to hold such further hearing within [ten] days following such filing and service by a Complaining Party; and (iii) to determine at the close of such hearing, as expeditiously as possible, whether such relief shall be granted pending the completion of the Arbitration under Section 7.4. The Arbitrators appointed pursuant to 7.4.b may reconsider any preliminary relief granted or denied under Section 7.5.

7.6 Limited Right to File Interlocutory Appeal to a Court During Arbitration. With respect to any temporary or preliminary relief denied or granted by the arbitrator(s) pursuant to Section 7.5, any Party to the Dispute aggrieved by the ruling(s) of the arbitrator(s) may immediately on the issuance of such ruling(s) initiate litigation in the State or Federal Courts set forth in Section 7.9 either for the entry of denied temporary or preliminary relief or to set aside temporary or preliminary relief granted, pending completion of the arbitration.

7.7 Governing Forum for Enforcement of Dispute Resolution Provisions: Jurisdictional and arbitrability disputes, including without limitation disputes over the formation, existence, validity, interpretation or scope of this Agreement, and who are proper Parties to the Arbitration, shall be submitted to and ruled on by the Arbitrators, who shall have the exclusive authority to determine jurisdictional and arbitrability issues in that arbitration.

7.8 Litigation. As to any Dispute that is not resolved in accordance with the procedure in Section 7.4, any Party may initiate litigation regarding that Dispute not earlier than thirty days following the issuance of the final arbitration award listed in Section 7.4(d). All such litigation shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the Federal Courts sitting therein. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and irrevocably waives all objections to such venue.

a. With respect to any litigation initiated pursuant to Section 7.9, all applicable statutes of limitations shall be tolled as between the date the Complaining Party first gave notice of the Dispute to the Responding Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a) and the date litigation as to such Dispute could first be filed in accordance with Section 7.9.

7.9 Additional Notice and Cure Period Applicable to Section 2.3 Technical Practices. Before AMD may initiate a Dispute against Intel concerning an alleged breach of Section 2.3 of this Agreement, AMD shall provide Intel with a written description of the alleged breach, including specifying the Intel actions that AMD believes have breached Section 2.3. Intel shall have a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to either cure the alleged breach or provide notice to AMD that Intel will not do so. Following such notice from Intel to AMD, either Party may initiate a Dispute under Section 7.0.
