For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Sponsors under thisSection 5.1 constitute a primary guarantee obligation (Garantievertrag) and not a surety
guarantee (Bürgschaft).
ARTICLE VI
Subsidies Undertaking
SECTION 6.1 Subsidies. The Project will be supported by the following subsidies and grants from the Free State of Saxony (hereinafter, the “Subsidies”):
(i) a dedicated purpose investment grant in an aggregate amount of DM 476,687,000 (four hundred seventy six million six hundred eighty seven
thousand Deutsche Marks) which, together with the investment subsidies in an aggregate amount of DM 23,813,000 (twenty three million eight
hundred thirteen thousand Deutsche Marks), totals an aggregate amount of DM 500,500,000 (five hundred million five hundred thousand Deutsche
Marks); and
(ii) a dedicated purpose interest subsidy in an amount of DM 300,000,000 (three hundred million Deutsche Marks),
which, in each case, will be paid to AMD Saxonia by Dresdner Bank AG in Dresden, in its capacity as house bank.
SECTION 6.2 Payment of Shortfall. The granting of the Subsidies is contingent on the adherence by the Sponsors and AMD Saxonia to particular conditions,
requirements, and covenants. If, for any reason whatsoever, any AMD Company or any Affiliate of any AMD Company breaches any such conditions,
requirements, or covenants, and, accordingly, causes the Subsidies not to be paid or, as a result of any such breach, the Subsidies are required to be repaid (in
either such case the amount thereof being hereinafter called a “Shortfall”), then, without delay following its or their receipt of a demand therefor by the Agent,
either:
(i) AMD Holding shall contribute Equity Capital (or other contributions to AMD Saxonia’s capital reserves) to AMD Saxonia, and AMD Inc. shall
cause AMD Holding to so contribute to AMD Saxonia (and AMD Inc. shall, to the extent necessary, contribute sufficient funds, or otherwise cause
sufficient funds to be made available, to AMD Holding as shall be necessary to enable AMD Holding to so contribute to AMD Saxonia); and/or
(ii) one or both Sponsors shall make Sponsors’ Loans to AMD Saxonia,
in either case in an aggregate amount (and, if the Subsidies have not yet been provided, as and when the Subsidies, but for such breach, would have otherwise
been provided) equal to the Shortfall.
For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) the obligations of the Sponsors contained in thisArticle VI are in addition to, and not in limitation of, their obligations contained
elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Operative Documents, and shall survive Completion; and
