2.02. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	The following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.01: 

 “Amendment No. 1” means Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement dated as of April 9, 2010. 

“Amendment No. 1 Effective Date” has the meaning specified in Amendment No. 1.”


  









	 	(b)	The definitions “Interest Payment Date” and “Termination Date” are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:


 “Interest Payment Date” means, (a) as to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the
last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and the Maturity Date of the Facility under which such Loan was made; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan exceeds three months, the
respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period shall also be Interest Payment Dates; and (b) as to any Base Rate Loan, the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and the Maturity
Date; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date will occur on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and the second Interest Payment Date will occur on the next such date to occur after the Account Release Date. 

“Termination Date” means, unless the Account Release Date has previously occurred, the date that is the
earliest of (a) 90 days from the Closing Date (subject to any extensions consented to in accordance with Section 11.01(a)(II)), (b) the date which the Borrower notifies the Lenders in writing that the Account Release Conditions
shall not be met, (c) the date on which the Loans become due pursuant to Section 8.02, (d) 18 days from the Closing Date, unless the proceeds from the Rights Offering (or otherwise from the Backstop Parties pursuant to the
Rights Agreement) equal to at least approximately $105,000,000 have been deposited in an escrow and/or segregated account on or prior to such date, (e) the date that the Bankruptcy Court denies entry of the Final Approval Order and (f) the
date the Bankruptcy Court’s Final Approval Order approving the Transaction and the fees to be paid in connection therewith is overturned, vacated or stayed; provided, that a Termination Date shall not be deemed to have occurred pursuant
to this clause (f) unless the Arrangers shall have given the Borrower one day prior written notice of the occurrence of a Termination Date hereunder, which notice shall not be provided if (x) such Final Approval Order was overturned,
vacated or stayed over the objections of the Debtors and the Debtors are continuing to contest such matters before the Bankruptcy Court and (y) the rights and interests of the Lenders and the Arrangers are not adversely affected by such Final
Approval Order being overturned, vacated or stayed as reasonably determined by the Arrangers; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt nothing in this proviso shall extend the time limit set forth in clause (a) or
(d) above.” 
 2.03. Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 “2.01. The Loans and the Accrued Interest Amount. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a single Loan in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment and to make the gross proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date to be deposited by the
Administrative Agent into the Escrow

Account and (ii) immediately prior to the deposit referred to in clause (i), the Borrower agrees to deposit the Escrow Deposit Amount in the Escrow Account. Immediately after such deposits
are made, (i) the Borrower will pay (with funds other than those deposited in the Escrow Account) the fees payable to the Arrangers and the administrative agency fee payable to the Administrative Agent each payable on the Closing Date as set
forth in the Fee Letter and (ii) the Escrow Agent shall release funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement in such amount as is necessary to pay the portion of the Closing Fee due on the Closing Date to
the Lenders on a pro rata basis. In the event that (A) the Base Rate increases at any time from the Closing Date to the Account Release Date such that the Accrued Interest Amount deposited into the Escrow Account would not be sufficient (as
determined by the Administrative Agent) to pay the amount of interest that could accrue on the Loans through and including the 90th day after the Closing Date (as calculated using such higher Base Rate) or (B) the time period set forth in
clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Date” is extended in accordance with Section 11.01(a)(II), the Borrower shall make any necessary additional deposits into the Escrow Account (as determined by the Administrative
Agent) to increase the Accrued Interest Amount to such amount as is sufficient to pay the amount of interest that could accrue on the Loans for the relevant maximum time periods set forth in clauses (A) or (B) above at such higher Base
Rate and/or for such extended time period. On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Escrow Agent will release $5,732,876.71 (which is the amount of interest that has accrued on the Loans from the Closing Date through and including
April 9, 2010) from the Escrow Account to the Administrative Agent for payment of interest to the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof on the first Interest Payment Date. Upon the earlier of the Account Release Date and the Termination
Date, the Escrow Agent will release the remaining funds held in the Escrow Account for application in accordance with Section 6.11 hereof. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided, however, that prior to and until the Account Release Date all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.” 

2.4. Sections 4.01(c)(iii)(B), 4.01(c)(iii)(C) and 4.01(c)(x) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by replacing each reference to
“90 days” with “120 days”. 
 2.5. Sections 4.01(j) and 4.02(i)(ii) of the Credit Agreement are hereby
amended by replacing each reference to “90 days” with “60 days”. 
 2.6. Section 11.01 (a) of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(a) (I) In the case of the
Closing, waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01(d), (e), (g) or (i) or, in the case of the Account Release Date, Section 4.02(d), (e) or (g)(i), without the written
consent of each Lender and (II) extend the time period in clause (a) or the 18-day period of clause (d) of the definition of “Termination Date” or waive the condition set forth in Section 4.02(k) without the written
consent of the Super Majority Lenders;”

Section 3. Amendments to the Escrow Agreement. 
 3.01. Section 1.4(b) of the Escrow Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(b) If, at any time, or from time to time, (A) the Base Rate increases prior to the Account Release Date such that the Accrued Interest Amount deposited into the Escrow Account would not be
sufficient (as determined by the Administrative Agent) to pay the amount of interest that could accrue on the Loans through and including the 90th day after the Closing Date (as calculated using such higher Base Rate) or (B) the time period set
forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Date” is extended in accordance with Section 11.01(a)(II) of the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent shall send a written notice to Spansion indicating the amount
(as determined by the Administrative Agent) as is sufficient to pay the amount of interest that could accrue on the Loans for the relevant maximum time periods set forth in clauses (A) or (B) above at such higher Base Rate and/or for such
extended time period, and Spansion agrees that it will promptly deposit (which shall be no later than one Business Day after receipt of such notice) such additional amounts in cash into the Escrow Account.” 

3.02. Section 5 of the Escrow Agreement is hereby amended by (i) relettering clauses (b), (c) and (d) thereof as
clauses (c), (d) and (e), respectively, and (ii) adding a new clause (b) to read in its entirety as follows: 
 “(b) On the first Interest Payment Date the Escrow Agent shall promptly cause the disbursement to the Administrative Agent of $5,732,876.71 (which is the amount of interest that has accrued on the
Loans from the Closing Date through and including April 9, 2010) in immediately available funds for payment of interest to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.” 

Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement (other than the Account Release Date Representations) and in each Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of
