 Trustee: Tamir Fishman Trusts 2004 Ltd 
 Congratulations on
being granted Spansion RSUs under the Spansion Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Your award is subject to the provisions of the Plan, this Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), the agreement between Spansion (the
“Company”) and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”) and Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 and any regulations, rules or orders promulgated thereunder, including the Income Tax Rules (Tax
Relief for Issuance of Shares to Employees), 2003, all as amended from time to time (collectively, “Section 102”). 
 In the event of a conflict
between the general terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. However, this Agreement sets out specific terms for your award, and those terms will prevail over more general terms in the
Plan on the same issue, if any, or in the event of a conflict between such terms. 







 ISSUANCE OF RSUS. The RSUs will be registered in the name of the
Trustee as required by law to qualify under Section 102, for your benefit. 
  

	 	•	 	 The Trustee will hold the RSUs or the Shares to be issued upon vesting of the RSUs for the Lock-up Period, as set forth in the Plan. 



 

	 	•	 	 You release the Trustee from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly taken to comply with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, in connection
with any award granted to you under the Plan. 


  

	 	•	 	 You agree to execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with Section 102.



 NON TRANSFERABILITY OF RSUS. Your RSUs and related rights are not
transferable except by the laws of descent and distribution. 
 VESTING OF YOUR RSUS. 

  

	 	•	 	 An RSU represents a commitment by Spansion to issue one share of Spansion common stock for each RSU awarded on the date the RSU vests, subject to your meeting all
applicable requirements. The vesting date is the date on which the restrictions lapse. After vesting, RSUs are converted into full-value shares of Spansion common stock if the applicable terms have been satisfied. Except as otherwise stated below,
your RSUs vest as set forth above in this Agreement if you are an active employee through the entire vesting period. 


  

	 	•	 	 In no event will your RSUs vest after the Award Expiration Date as provided above. 


  

	 	•	 	 In connection with the issuance of shares upon vesting of the RSUs, you agree to sign any and all documents required by law and/or the Company.



 TAX PAYMENT. 
  

	 	•	 	 You agree to be solely responsible for paying any and all taxes arising from the grant or vesting of RSUs, from the payment for and/or issuance and/or sale of
shares covered by RSUs, or from any other event or act (of the Company, and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or you) relating to the RSUs or shares issued upon vesting of RSUs. The Company and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and/or the Trustee
shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. 


  

	 	•	 	 Furthermore, you agree to indemnify the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all
liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to you for which you are responsible.



  

 2 









	 	•	 	 The Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as it/they may deem necessary or appropriate for
the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to RSUs granted under the Plan and the vesting of such RSUs and/or the issuance or sale of shares covered by the RSUs, including, but not limited, to (i) deducting the
amount so required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable to you, including by deducting any such amount from your salary or other amounts payable to the you, to the maximum extent permitted under law and/or
(ii) requiring you to pay to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any shares and/or (iii) by causing the sale of any
shares held by or on behalf of you to cover such liability up to the amount required to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements. In addition, you agree to pay any amount that exceeds the tax to be withheld and transferred to the tax
authorities, pursuant to applicable Israeli tax regulations. 


 TERMINATION OF RSUS 

  

	 	•	 	 In no event will your RSUs vest after the Award Expiration Date as provided above. 


  

	 	•	 	 Notwithstanding the above, in the event that your employment or other service terminates for Cause (as defined in the Plan), all RSUs (whether vested or not) shall
terminate. 


  

	 	•	 	 For purposes of this section “TERMINATION OF RSUS,” termination of your employment or
other service shall be deemed effective as detailed in Section 10.5 of the Plan. 


 TAX ADVICE. Nothing in the Agreement is
intended to serve as tax or investment advice, or to provide rules and regulations that may apply to your personal tax situation. You are advised to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of receiving or vesting your RSUs
and/or the issuance or sale of shares covered by the RSUs. 
 SECURITIES LAWS. 
  

	 	•	 	 Shares shall not be issued unless the vesting of RSUs and the issuance and delivery of the underlying shares comply with applicable securities and other laws and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

	 	•	 	 You understand and agree that the Company may cause legends to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the shares that may be required by the
Company or by state, federal or foreign securities laws. 


 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NATURE

	 	•	 	 the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified, suspended or terminated by Spansion at any time, without notice to participants;



  

	 	•	 	 an award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards, or other benefits instead of RSUs;

	 	•	 	 your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

	 	•	 	 neither an award nor any provision of the terms and conditions that govern an award provides any employment right or contract, including any right to continued
employment or other service; 


  

	 	•	 	 neither termination of RSUs based on termination of employment or other service, or in accordance with some other Plan provision, nor any diminution in value of the
RSUs, results in any claim or right to compensation or damages, and you irrevocably release Spansion from, and waive, any such alleged claim or right that may arise; and 


  

	 	•	 	 subject to the specific vesting terms of your award, in the event of termination of your employment (involuntary or otherwise), your right to receive awards of RSUs
