The following terms and conditions apply to the RSUs granted pursuant to this Award.
| Company; Defined Terms: | “Company” shall mean Spansion Inc., and, except as the context may otherwise require, references to “Company” shall be deemed to include its subsidiaries and affiliates.
To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. | |
| Type of Award: | Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs.
The RSUs entitle the Holder to receive an equal number of shares of Common Stock at settlement, as described below. | |
| Brokerage Account Requirement | As a condition to the grant of the RSUs, the Holder agrees to open and maintain a brokerage account at the Company’s designated stock broker at all times that the RSUs remain outstanding. | |
| Vesting and Settlement: | The RSUs shall vest and become payable according to the schedule set forth above; provided, however, that the RSUs will vest and be paid on such dates only if the Holder has not had a Termination of Service prior to the applicable Payment Date. Except as provided below, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited upon Termination of Service. Vested RSUs shall be settled through the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder equal to the number of RSUs to be settled and paid. The issuance of shares of Common Stock will be subject to tax withholding, as provided below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control prior to Holder’s Termination of Service, one-hundred percent (100%) of the RSUs shall automatically be fully vested and payable. In anticipation of a Change in Control, the Administrator may cause the RSUs to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control. | |
| Transferability of RSUs: | RSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, provided that in the event of the Holder’s death, shares deliverable or amounts payable with respect to the RSUs shall be delivered or paid, as applicable, to the Holder’s designated beneficiary. The Administrator will advise Holders with respect to the procedures for naming and changing designated beneficiaries. | |
| Tax Withholding: | The Holder agrees that the Company may deduct from the Holder’s paycheck within a reasonable time following each Payment Date the minimum amount required to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock on such Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company permits an alternative method to satisfy withholding obligations for any Payment Date, the Holder may elect though the Company’s designated stock broker such alternative method to satisfy withholding obligations provided such election is made at least one day prior to the applicable Payment Date and the Holder satisfies all other requirements of such alternative method. | |

| If the Company permits as of an applicable Payment Date, the alternative methods by which the Holder may satisfy tax withholding obligations include the following:
• Depositing cash in an amount equal to the tax withholding obligations in the Holder’s brokerage account designated by the Company and instructing the broker to pay such cash amount to the Company; or
• Selling that number of shares of Common Stock necessary to provide proceeds in an amount equal to the tax withholding obligations and instructing the broker to pay the proceeds to the Company, provided that if the withholding obligations arise during a period in which the Holder is prohibited from trading in the Common Stock under any policy of the Company or by reason of the Exchange Act, then this alternative shall not be available to the Holder.
The Holder is encouraged to consult with a tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of participation in the Plan and acceptance of this Award. | ||
| Rights as a Stockholder: | Until the shares of Common Stock are issued and delivered, a Holder will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU. | |

| Additional Terms for Holders Providing Services Outside the United States: | To the extent Holder provides services to the Company in a country other than the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to such additional or substitute terms as shall be set forth for such country in Exhibit A attached hereto, including any sub-plans referenced therein. | |

The Holder may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect the Holder’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits intended by this Award. | |
| No impact on other rights. | Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the RSUs is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of Holder’s normal employment and compensation rights, if any.

The Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.

EXHIBIT A
TO SPANSION INC.
2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
This Exhibit A to the Spansion Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Award”) includes special terms and conditions applicable to Holders in the countries below. These terms and conditions are in addition to or substitute for, as applicable, those set forth in the Award. Any capitalized term used in this Exhibit A without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan or the Award, as applicable.
Each Holder is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant exchange control and tax laws in the Holder’s country may apply to the Holder’s individual situation.
CHINA
Limitations on Common Stock Issuance. Due to local exchange control regulations, the Holder is required to immediately sell all shares upon issuance using a broker who, upon issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the RSUs will simultaneously sell all of the shares of Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon such issuance, use the proceeds to pay any Tax-Related Items (as defined below) to the Company and remit the balance to the Holder in cash. Depending on the development of local laws, the Company reserves the right to provide additional settlement methods for the Holder prior to vesting.
Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Holder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Holder is and remains his or her responsibility and that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertaking regarding treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, or sale of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such settlement; and (2) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Holder’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to vesting of the RSUs, the Holder shall make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Holder authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Holder from Holder’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Holder by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items.
