CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
SPANSION INC. 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN


RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT


1.  Grant. Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (the "Company") hereby grants to the participant (the "Holder") named in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (the "Notice of Grant") an Award of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), as set forth in the Notice of Grant and subject to the terms and conditions in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement ("Agreement"), in the Company's Spansion Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended, and in any applicable sub-plan for the Holder's country (such plan and any such sub-plan, collectively, the "Plan"). A sub-plan is applicable to this Award if, but only if, the country-specific terms for the Participant's country as set forth in Appendix A state that this Award is granted under or subject to such sub-plan.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan.


2.  Company's Obligation. Each RSU represents the right of the Holder to receive one share of Cypress Common Stock (as adjusted in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Plan, a "Share") on the date on which all applicable vesting conditions established by the Notice of Grant, this Agreement, and the Plan have been satisfied (the "Vesting Date"). Unless and until RSUs vest, the Holder will have no right to receive Shares (or any other payment) in connection with such RSUs. Prior to actual distribution of Shares in settlement of any vested RSUs, such RSUs represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.


3.  Vesting Schedule and Vesting Conditions. Subject to Section 4 below, the RSUs awarded by this Agreement shall vest and become non-forfeitable in accordance with the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant (the "Vesting Schedule"). With respect to each scheduled Vesting Date, the Holder's continuous service as an Employee or Consultant from the grant date specified in the Notice of Grant (the "Date of Grant") until such Vesting Date is a condition to the vesting of the RSUs scheduled to vest on such date.  Employment or service for only a portion of such vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Holder to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 4 below or in the Plan.


4.  Forfeiture upon Termination of Service; Leaves of Absence. 


(a)  Forfeiture upon Termination of Service.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, upon the Holder's Termination of Service for any or no reason after the Date of Grant but prior to a Vesting Date, any unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and, if applicable, at no cost to the Company affiliate that actually employs or otherwise engages the Holder (the "Employer").  Neither the Holder nor any of the Holder's successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any rights or interests in any RSUs that are forfeited pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Plan.


(b)  Unpaid Leaves of Absence.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator (such as in a leave of absence vesting policy or otherwise) and subject to compliance with all applicable laws, in the event the Holder takes an approved but unpaid leave of absence ("LOA") from the Company or the Employer (as applicable), each Vesting Date that has not occurred as of the commencement of such LOA shall be tolled for the number of calendar days that the Holder is on such LOA.  (For example, if the next scheduled Vesting Date is July 1 and prior to that date the Grantee takes a LOA spanning 20 calendar days, that Vesting Date shall (unless otherwise provided by the Administrator) be tolled for 20 days and shall become July 21 and all future Vesting Dates shall be similarly rescheduled).


5.  Settlement in Shares after Vesting. Subject to Section 17 (regarding tax matters), any RSUs that vest in accordance with this Agreement will be settled by delivery of Shares to the Holder (or in the event of the Holder's death, to his or her estate) as soon as practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the date such RSUs become non-forfeitable. 


6.  Payments after Death. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Holder under this Agreement will, if the Holder is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Holder's estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.


7.  Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Holder nor any person claiming under or through the Holder will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company (including, without limitation, voting and dividend rights) in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates (or book-entry positions) representing such Shares have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Holder or the Holder's broker.


8.  No Effect on Employment or Status.  If the Holder is employed in the United States, (1) the Holder's employment or other service relationship with the Company or the Employer is on an at-will basis only and accordingly, the terms of the Holder's employment or other service relationship with the Company or the Employer will be determined from time to time by the Company or the Employer, and the Company or the Employer will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment or other service relationship of the Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause or notice; and (2) the Holder understands and agrees that the vesting of the RSUs subject to this Award pursuant to Section 3 above is subject to the Holder's continuing in the employ or service of the Company or the Employer through each applicable Vesting Date.


9.  Address for Notices.  (a) Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 198 Champion Court, San Jose, California 95134-1599, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically. (b) Any notice to be given to the Holder under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Holder's address appearing on the books of the Company or to the Holder's residence or to such other address as may be designated in writing by the Holder.  Notices may also be delivered to the Holder, during his or her employment, through the Company's inter-office or electronic mail systems.


10.  Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.


11.  Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.


12.  Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal, or foreign law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Holder (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such U.S. state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any domestic governmental authority.


13.  Plan Governs. This Agreement and the Notice of Grant are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan.  The Holder has been provided a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and shall be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.


14.  Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan, this Agreement, and the Notice of Grant and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any RSUs have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Holder, the Company, and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.


15.  Additional Terms for Holders Providing Services Outside the United States. To the extent the Holder provides (or provided, subsequent to the vesting base date set forth in the Notice of Grant) services to the Company or the Employer in a country other than the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to such additional or substitute terms as are set forth for such country in Appendix A attached hereto.


16.  Data Privacy.  The Holder hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Holder's personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Holder's participation in the Plan.


The Holder understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Holder, including, but not limited to, the Holder's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number, or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares  awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Holder's favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan ("Data").  


The Holder understands that Data may be transferred to such stock plan service provider (or providers) as may be selected by the Company which is (or are) assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and awards granted thereunder.  The Holder understands that these recipients of Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipients' country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Holder's country.  The Holder understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Holder's local human resources representative.  The Holder hereby authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan and awards granted thereunder to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Holder's participation in the Plan.  


The Holder understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  The Holder understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Holder's local human resources representative.  The Holder understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Holder's ability to participate in the Plan and the Holder's continued eligibility for this Award or eligibility to be granted any other awards under the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Holder's refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Holder understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.


17.  Responsibility for Taxes.


(a)  Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any and all income or withholding tax (including federal, state and local tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Holder's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her ("Tax-Related Items"), the Holder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Holder's responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer.  The Holder further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the issuance of Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Award and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Holder's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Holder has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Holder acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.


(b)  Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Holder shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items that the Company determines it or the Employer is required to withhold under applicable laws with respect to the RSUs.  In this regard, the Holder authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the obligation with regard to all Tax-Related Items by any one or a combination of the following methods: (1) by requiring the Holder to pay such amount in cash or by check; (2) by deducting such amount out of wages or any other cash compensation otherwise payable to the Holder by the Company and/or the Employer; (3) by withholding (and/or reacquiring) a number of Shares issuable (or issued) in payment of the RSUs having a Fair Market Value equal to such amount; (4) by requiring the Holder to deliver to the Company already owned shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such amount; and/or (5) withholding such amount from the proceeds of a sale of a sufficient number of Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs ("Sell-To-Cover") either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Holder's behalf pursuant to this authorization).  For these purposes, the Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld or repurchased, as applicable, shall be determined on the date that Tax-Related Items are to be determined.  To the extent any of the above methods involves a sale of Shares, the Holder acknowledges that neither the Company nor its designated broker is obligated to arrange for such sale of Shares at any particular price.


To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Holder is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested portion of the RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Holder's participation in the Plan.


(c)  The Holder shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Holder's receipt of RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, or the issuance of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver Shares to the Holder if the Holder fails to comply with the Holder's obligations in connection with Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 17.


(d)  The Holder understands that the Company may allow the Holder to select a tax withholding collection method and that, if no selection is made, the default collection method may be Sell-To-Cover.  In that default case and/or if the Holder subsequently selects Sell-To-Cover (or the related "same-day sale" alternative), the Holder hereby agrees and instructs that a sufficient number of Shares issued in payment of RSUs that become non-forfeitable shall be sold by the Company's designated brokerage firm on the Holder's behalf and for the Holder's account pursuant to this authorization on or as soon as administratively possible after the date of issuance.  This paragraph is intended as a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Holder hereby represents and warrants that (a) at the time of entering into this Agreement and trading plan and at the time of making any subsequent Sell-To-Cover or "same-day sale" election constituting a trading plan hereunder, he or she is not aware of any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or its securities and (b) he or she is entering into this Agreement and any such trading plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to avoid the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1.  The Holder agrees (i) never to directly or indirectly communicate any material, non-public information regarding the Company to the Company's designated brokerage firm or any employee or affiliate thereof and (ii) at any time an above trading plan is in effect, (x) not to influence how, when, or whether the Shares are sold (other than by selecting a different tax withholding collection method that does not involve sale of Shares, which is equivalent to terminating the trading plan), and (y) not to enter into or alter a corresponding hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares.  The Holder agrees that he or she will not change the tax withholding collection method to Sell-To-Cover (or to the related "same-day sale" alternative) at a time when he or she would be prohibited from trading under the Company's Insider Trading Policy (as defined below).


18.  Miscellaneous.


(a)  Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of, and shall not constitute a part of, this Agreement.


(b)  Electronic Delivery and Participation.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Award or future Awards that may be made under the Plan (or other Company equity plans) by electronic means, request the Holder's consent to participate in the Plan (or other Company equity plans) by electronic means, or deliver vested Shares by book-entry to the Holder's account at a brokerage selected by the Company.  The Holder hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery, authorizes vested shares to be delivered to such a brokerage account by book-entry, and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third-party brokerage designated by the Company.


(c)  Section 409A.  This Agreement and the Award are intended to comply with or be exempt from, as the case may be, Section 409A of the Code so as to not result in any tax, penalty or interest thereunder.  This Agreement and the Award shall be construed and interpreted accordingly.  Except for the Company's tax withholding rights, the Holder shall be solely responsible for any and all tax liability with respect to the Award.


(d)  Invalid Provision.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had been omitted.


(e)  Governing Law/Choice of Venue.  


		
	(1)
	This Agreement and the rights of the Holder hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof).




		
	(2)
	For the purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California where this grant is made and/or to be performed and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal court of the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts.




(f)  Imposition of Other Requirements.  If the Holder relocates to another country after the Date of Grant, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Holder's participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Holder to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


(g)  No Advice Regarding Award.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Holder's participation in the Plan, or the Holder's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Holder is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.


(h)  Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.  The Holder acknowledges and agrees that he or she is subject to the Company's Amended and Restated Insider Trading Policy as may be amended from time to time (the "Insider Trading Policy") including its restrictions that extend for a limited period of time after the Holder's termination of service.  In addition, the Holder understands that he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions under securities laws, market abuse laws, and/or other similar laws, and such restrictions may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares.  The Holder acknowledges that it is the Holder's responsibility to comply with such Company policies and any additional restrictions that may apply under applicable laws with respect to the Holder's acquisition, holding, and any disposition of Shares or rights to Shares.
 
(i)  Recoupment.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any recoupment or "clawback" policies adopted by the Board or the Administrator and applicable to equity awards, as such policies are in effect from time to time, shall apply to this Award, any Shares that may be issued in respect of this Award, and any proceeds (including dividends and sale proceeds) of such Shares.


(j)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Notice of Grant, and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto.


(k)  Signature and Acceptance.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been accepted and signed by the Holder and the Company as of the Date of Grant upon the Holder's online acceptance or deemed acceptance as set forth in the Notice of Grant.


(l)  Modifications.  The provisions of this Agreement may not be changed, modified, or waived in a manner that is adverse to the Holder's interests except by means of a writing signed by the Holder and the Company.

You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any shares of Common Stock unless and until the loan is repaid in full. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are such a director or executive officer and the income tax that is due is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any Holder national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit.
