Exhibit 10.1

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 30, 2011,
by and among SL Capital Appreciation Fund, L.L.C., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P.
and Silver Lake Credit Fund, L.P. (each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”)
and Spansion LLC (“Buyer”).

1. Each Seller, for good and valuable consideration, does hereby agree to
irrevocably sell, convey, transfer and assign unto Buyer all of such Seller’s
rights, title and interest in, to and under as of the closing of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the “Closing Date”):

(a) A participation interest in the claims (including without limitation
“claims” as defined in Section 101(5) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) against the debtors (the “Debtors”) in the
bankruptcy case of Spansion Inc. and its related debtors (the “Bankruptcy
Case”), including, without limitation, any and all right to receive any and all
amounts paid or payable in respect of such claim, as set forth on Schedule I
(the “Claims”) granted pursuant to those certain participation agreements
entered into by each of the Sellers (the “Upstream Agreements”), which have been
listed in Exhibit A and attached hereto;

(b) The Upstream Agreements;

(c) The claims related to the aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Notes
due 2016 (CUSIP Numbers 84649PAA3 or U85957AA3) held by the Sellers, including,
without limitation, any and all right to receive any and all amounts paid or
payable in respect of such notes, as set forth on Schedule I (the “Notes”);

(d) All causes of action or other rights held by such Seller, whether against
the Debtors or any other party, in connection with the Claims and/or the Notes;

(e) All cash, securities or other property to be distributed or received or
payable on account of, or exchanged in return for, any of the foregoing
(collectively, the “Distributions”), provided however, that any and all
Distributions that have been authorized and received by Sellers prior to the
date hereof shall not be conveyed to Buyer and shall remain the property of
Sellers; and

(f) All proceeds of the foregoing;

all of the foregoing, whether against the Debtors, any affiliate of the Debtors,
or other third party liable in respect thereof, being collectively referred to
herein as the “Assigned Rights”.

2. The consideration paid by Buyer to each Seller for the Assigned Rights, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Seller, is the
purchase price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) set forth on Schedule I. On the
Closing Date, Buyer shall pay

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Aggregate Purchase Price to each Seller as specified on Schedule I hereto.
The Aggregate Purchase Price for each Seller will equal the sum of (a) the
purchase price for each Seller’s interest in the Notes and the rights related
thereto (the “Note Purchase Price”), to the extent applicable; and (b) the
purchase price for each Seller’s participation interest in the Claims and the
rights related thereto (the “Claims Purchase Price”), to the extent applicable.
The Note Purchase Price and the Claim Purchase Price for each Seller shall be
set forth on Schedule I.

3. Pursuant to terms set forth in each of the Upstream Agreements, each Seller
has a right to assign its interest in the Upstream Agreements to a third party.
In accordance with those terms, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to enter into a
consent agreement, in substantially the forms attached as Exhibit A hereto, with
each of the relevant Upstream Sellers by which all Seller’s right title and
interest in the Upstream Agreements will be conveyed to Buyer.

4. Buyer’s obligation to pay to each Seller the Aggregate Purchase Price is
subject to (i) such Seller’s representations and warranties being true and
correct on the date of this Agreement, (ii) such Seller having complied in all
material respects with all covenants required by this Agreement to be complied
with by it on or before the Closing Date and (iii) there being no law, court
order or agreement prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the Closing Date shall not be earlier than the date
on which Buyer has received an order from the bankruptcy court in the Bankruptcy
Case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer approving this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and such order shall have
become final and non-appealable (with no appeal, motion to reconsider or other
relief having been timely sought).

5. Each Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that:

(a) Such Seller is duly authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding
agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its
terms subject to the affect of any applicable bankruptcy, moratorium,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of
creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity;

(b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will violate or contravene
any law, rule, regulation, order or agreement binding on such Seller or the
Assigned Rights;

(c) Such Seller is the sole owner and has good title to the Assigned Rights free
and clear of any and all liens, security interests, claims, contractual
restrictions on resale/transfer or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever
including without limitation, pursuant to any factoring or other financing
agreements (collectively, “Liens”) and will transfer to Buyer such good title
free and clear of any Liens;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Such Seller has not previously sold, assigned participated, pledged or
otherwise encumbered the Assigned Rights, in whole or in part, to any party (or
agreed to do any of the foregoing); and

(e) No broker, finder, agent, or other entity acting on behalf of such Seller is
entitled to any commission or fee for which the Buyer could be responsible.

6. Buyer represents to each Seller that is duly authorized and empowered to
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the
valid, legal and binding agreement of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in
accordance with its terms subject to the affect of any applicable bankruptcy,
moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general
principles of equity.

7. Each Seller agrees that in the event such Seller shall receive any payments
or Distributions with respect to the Assigned Rights after the date hereof, such
payments or Distributions are the property of Buyer and Sellers shall have no
interest therein (a “Post Signing Distribution”). Each Seller agrees (i) to
accept such payments or Distributions as Buyer’s agent and to hold the same in
trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Buyer and (ii) that Buyer shall
exercise all voting and dispositive power over any securities of Spansion Inc.
received by such Seller in connection with any such Distribution. Such Seller
agrees to deliver the same forthwith to Buyer in the same form received, within
five business days following the later of receipt or bankruptcy court approval
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which are in good
deliverable form, with the endorsement of such Seller when necessary or
appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right and title to any such
payments or Distributions (or, in the event that Buyer disposes of any
securities of Spansion Inc. or other property received in a Distribution, the
proceeds therefrom) with respect to the Assigned Rights received by each Seller
and held by each Seller in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Buyer shall
revert to such Seller in the event the bankruptcy court in the Bankruptcy Case
does not approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or in
the event that the parties hereto have not received duly executed Consent and
Assignment of Participation agreements from each of the Upstream Sellers prior
to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing Date shall not be earlier than
(i) the date on which the Sellers have received all shares of Spansion Inc. or
have otherwise arranged for delivery of such shares related to the Assigned
Rights issued in connection with the Distribution scheduled to be completed on
or about May 2, 2011 and (ii) the date on which the parties shall have received
duly executed Consent and Assignment of Participation agreements from each of
the Upstream Sellers.

8. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their successors and assigns. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of
Sellers and Buyer and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than
Sellers and Buyer and their successors and permitted assigns any right to insist
upon or enforce the performance or observance of any of the rights and
obligations set forth herein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. No failure on the part of a party to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver by such
party, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under
this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided herein (a) are
cumulative and are in addition to, and are not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies provided by law (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement) and (b) are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to
exercise any of its rights or remedies under any other related document or
against the other party or any other entity.

10. If any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or document
delivered in connection with this Agreement, if any, is partially or completely
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision, or portion of
the provision, as applicable, shall be ineffective in that jurisdiction solely
to the extent of its invalidity or unenforceability, but the invalidity or
unenforceability of that provision or portion thereof shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other part or provision of this Agreement, all
of which shall be construed and enforced as if that invalid or unenforceable
provision were omitted, nor shall the invalidity or unenforceability of that
provision in one jurisdiction affect its validity or enforceability in any other
jurisdiction.

11. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware without reference to any conflicts of law
provisions.

12. Each of each Seller and Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs or
expenses (including legal expenses) incurred by it with respect to the
negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement, except that Sellers
shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of any fairness opinion obtained by
Buyer in connection herewith and any amendment to Buyer’s loan agreement to
facilitate the transaction and any out of pocket costs of the sellers under the
Upstream Agreements in connection with their review of the related consent
agreements, not to exceed in the aggregate $250,000. Each Seller agrees to
execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such
instruments and documents (including, without limitation, any supporting
documents evidencing the Assigned Rights), and to take all such action as Buyer
may reasonably request, promptly upon the request of Buyer in order to
effectuate the intent and purpose of, and to carry out the terms of, this
Agreement, and to cause Buyer to become the legal and beneficial owner and
holder of the Assigned Rights.

13. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and all of such
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. Transmission by telecopier or electronic transmission of this
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such
counterpart. Each fully executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a duplicate original.
