 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 FORM OF SPANSION INC. 
 2005 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
  
 The following constitutes the provisions of the Spansion Inc. 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The “Effective Date” of the Plan is
                    , 2005, the date it was approved by the Board; provided, however, that the effectiveness of the Plan is subject to
the approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve months after the Effective Date. As used herein, the term “Corporation” refers to Spansion Inc., a Delaware corporation. 
  
 1. Purpose of Plan; Sub-Plans. 
  
 (a) The purpose of the Plan is to foster continued cordial
employee relations by providing Employees of the Corporation and Participating Companies with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation through options to acquire the stock on favorable terms and to elect to exercise such options
through payroll deductions. 
  
 (b) The Plan
consists of a 423 Sub-Plan and may consist of one or more other Sub-Plans. The 423 Sub-Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). The Committee may establish one or more other Sub-Plans designed to grant Employees of certain Participating Companies options to purchase Common Stock that are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of
the Code. Offerings under any such other Sub-Plans may be made to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside of the United States. The terms of each Sub-Plan (other than the 423 Sub-Plan) may take precedence over other
provisions in this Plan document; provided, however, that the share limit set forth in Paragraph 12(a) of the Plan (as such limit may be adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 17 of the Plan) shall apply to the aggregate number of shares that may be issued
under the Plan, including the 423 Sub-Plan and all Sub-Plans, and that the amendment and termination provisions of Paragraphs 19 and 20 may not be superseded by any Sub-Plan. Unless otherwise superseded by the provisions of a Sub-Plan, the
provisions of this Plan document shall govern the operation of such Sub-Plan, and any reference herein to the “Plan” shall be construed to apply to such Sub-Plan. In all cases, the provisions of this Plan shall apply to the 423 Sub-Plan
and may not be superseded by any sub-plan. 
  
 (c) All Employees who participate in the 423 Sub-Plan shall have the same rights and privileges under the Plan except for differences which may be mandated by local law and which are consistent with Code Section 423(b)(5); provided,
however, that Employees participating in a Sub-Plan need not have the same rights and privileges as other Employees participating in the 423 Sub-Plan or any other Sub-Plan.

 4. Offering Period. 
  
 (a) Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in advance
of the Offering Period, an Offering Period shall be a period of three calendar months commencing on the first Business Day on or after each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year and ending on the last
Business Day of the third month in such period. The Committee may specify a shorter or longer Offering Period, but no Offering Period shall exceed 27 months. No Offering Period may commence (i) before the Effective Date, and (ii) as to any
Offering Period other than the first Offering Period, on or before the last day of the immediately preceding Offering Period. 
  

 3 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) of Paragraph 4(a), the Committee may,
in its discretion, determine that the first Offering Period for the 423 Sub-Plan shall commence upon the effective date of the initial public offering of the Common Stock. In such event, all eligible Employees shall automatically be deemed to be
Participants in such Offering Period and to have elected to make the maximum contributions permitted under the Plan for such Offering Period. At the end of the Offering Period, each Participant shall have the opportunity to pay (by check made
payable to the Corporation) all or any portion of the amount of such Participant’s deemed accumulated contributions for the Offering Period for the purchase of shares of Common Stock at the Purchase Price for that Offering Period. A Participant
who pays less than the entire amount of the deemed accumulated contributions shall be deemed to have elected to reduce his or her contributions during the Offering Period to the amount actually paid by the Participant to purchase shares, and a
Participant who does not make any payment shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Offering Period at the beginning of the Offering Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect during the Offering Period to commence
payroll deductions with respect to such Offering Period by completing a subscription agreement in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof. The Committee may establish other rules for any such Offering Period and, in any case, the provisions of this
Section 4(b) are subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and applicable securities laws. 
  
 5. Participation. 
  
 (a) An eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in a
form acceptable to the Committee on the form provided by the Corporation and filing it with the designated Corporation office not later than the day before the Option Grant Date of the Offering Period such election is to take effect (or such earlier
deadline as may be determined by the Committee for that Offering Period); provided that Participants who go on a leave of absence are subject to the special rules set forth in Paragraph 10(c) hereof. An Employee who becomes eligible to participate
in the Plan on or after an Option Grant Date may not participate until the next Offering Period. 
  
 (b) Payroll deductions for a Participant for any Offering Period shall commence with the first payday occurring on or after the Option
Grant Date for that Offering Period and shall end with the last payday that occurs in such Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Paragraph 10, or by the Corporation. 
  
 6. Payroll Deductions/Contributions. 
  
 (a) At the time a Participant files his subscription
agreement, he shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Offering Period and the amount of such deductions; provided, however, that the Committee shall determine for each Offering Period whether the amount to be deducted
from each paycheck is to be designated as a specific dollar amount, or as a percentage of the eligible Compensation 

  

 4 

 
being paid on such payday, or as either, and may also establish a maximum and/or minimum percentage or amount for such payroll deductions. The Committee may
from time to time change any of the requirements for payroll deductions established pursuant to the preceding sentence, effective with any Offering Period commencing after the date of such change. The Committee may also provide that a
Participant’s subscription agreement, and his or her participation election and payroll withholding consent thereon, shall remain valid for all Offering Periods commencing with the Offering Period with respect to which such election is made and
continuing until (i) the Participant’s participation in the Plan terminates pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Participant files a new subscription agreement that becomes effective, or (iii) the Committee requires that a new
subscription agreement be executed and filed with the Corporation. 
  
 (b) The Corporation shall maintain on its books, or cause to be maintained by a recordkeeper, a bookkeeping account in the name of each Participant. The amount of a Participant’s Compensation elected by the
Participant to be deducted and contributed to the Plan during an Offering Period shall be credited to the Participant’s account as of the date on which such amount would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. A Participant may not make
any additional payments to his or her account. A Participant’s account shall be reduced by any amounts used to purchase shares under the Plan and by any other amounts distributed pursuant to the terms hereof. All payroll deductions authorized
by a Participant shall be credited to his account under the Plan. 
  
 (c) A Participant may withdraw from his participation in the Plan as provided in Paragraph 10. A Participant may decrease or increase the rate of his payroll deductions by completing and filing with the Corporation a
new authorization for payroll deduction. The change in rate shall become effective with the first Offering Period that commences after the Corporation’s receipt of the new authorization. The Committee may set earlier deadlines for making any
such change with respect to an Offering Period. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant may not change the rate of his payroll deductions as to an Offering Period that is then in effect (other than a withdrawal from participation
as provided in Paragraph 10). 
  
 7. Grant of Option

  
 (a) On the Option Grant Date of each Offering
Period, each Participant during such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on the next succeeding Purchase Date the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated in
such Offering Period on or before such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price as set forth in Paragraph 7(c) below; provided, however, that such purchase shall be
subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraphs 6(a) and 12(a) hereof and the following additional limits: 
  

	 	(i)	 	 The number of shares which may be purchased by a Participant for the first Offering Period that ends in any calendar year may not exceed the number of shares
determined by dividing $25,000 by 

  

 5 

	 	 
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the first day of such Offering Period. 

  

	 	(ii)	 	The number of shares which may be purchased by a Participant for any subsequent Offering Period which ends in the same calendar year (as referred to in subsection (i) above)
shall not exceed the number of shares determined by performing the calculation below: 

  
 Step One: The number of shares purchased by the Participant with respect to any previous Offering Period that ended in the same calendar year
shall be multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the first day of such previous Offering Period in which such shares were purchased. 
  

Step Two: The amount determined in Step One (or the sum of such amounts if there has been more than one such previous Offering Period) shall be
subtracted from $25,000. 
  
 Step Three: The amount
determined in Step Two shall be divided by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the first day of such subsequent Offering Period (for which the maximum number of shares which may be purchased is being determined by this calculation)
occurs. The quotient thus obtained shall be the maximum number of shares which may be purchased by the Participant for such subsequent Offering Period. 
  
 The provisions of this Paragraph 7(a) shall be construed and interpreted to satisfy Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the
contrary, no person who is otherwise an Employee participating in the 423 Sub-Plan shall be granted an option or other right to purchase shares under the Plan to the extent that such option causes such individual to have rights to purchase stock
under the Plan and any other plan of the Corporation, any Parent, or any Subsidiary which is qualified under Section 423 of the Code which accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of the stock of the Corporation, of any
Parent, or of any Subsidiary (determined at the time the right to purchase such stock is granted, before giving effect to any discounted purchase price under any such plan) for each calendar year in which such right is outstanding at any time, as
such requirement is set forth in Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no person who is otherwise an Employee participating in the 423 Sub-Plan shall be granted an option or other right to purchase shares under the Plan to
the extent that, after the exercise of such option or such right, such person would own “stock” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code) possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary or Parent of the Corporation (including stock which the Participant may purchase under outstanding options and stock, the ownership of which is attributed to the
Participant under Section 424(d) of the Code). 
  

 6 

 (c) The Committee shall establish the method for determining the Purchase Price per share
of the shares subject to an option for an Offering Period prior to the start of that Offering Period in accordance with this Paragraph 7(c). The Committee may provide prior to the start of an Offering Period that the Purchase Price for that Offering
Period shall be determined by applying a discount amount (not to exceed 15%) to either (i) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Option Grant Date of that Offering Period, or (ii) the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock on the Purchase Date of that Offering Period, or (iii) the lesser of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Option Grant Date of that Offering Period or the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
Purchase Date of that Offering Period. For purposes of the Plan, the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on each such date shall be the last price for a share of Common Stock as furnished by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) through the NASDAQ National Market Reporting System (the “National Market”) for such date, or if no sale is made on such date, the corresponding last price on the first preceding date on which sales of
the Common Stock were reported by the NASD, or if the Common Stock is not so listed or actively traded on the National Market on such date, the value of a share of Common Stock as reasonably determined by the Committee for such purpose.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 7(c), in no event shall the Purchase Price per share be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. 
  
 (d) Any excess contributions remaining in the
Participant’s account after the purchase of the shares on the Purchase Date will be returned to the Participant, but if the Committee provides pursuant to Paragraph 8 that only whole shares may be purchased during an Offering Period and if the
Participant continues to be an Employee, so elects and is so permitted by the Committee, any amount not sufficient to purchase a whole share during such Offering Period may be rolled over and used to purchase shares in the next succeeding Offering
Period. 
  
 (e) The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that any one individual may acquire upon exercise of his or her option granted under the Plan with respect to any one Offering Period is 2500, subject to adjustments pursuant to Paragraph 19 (the “Individual Limit”); provided,
however, that the Committee may from time to time amend such Individual Limit, with any such amendment to take effect no earlier than the first Offering Period commencing after the adoption of such amendment. 
  
 8. Exercise of Option. Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as
provided in Paragraph 10, his option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically for the number of shares which the accumulated payroll deductions in his account could purchase at the applicable Purchase Price on the Purchase Date.
The number of shares purchased shall include fractional share interests unless the Committee provides that only whole shares may be purchased. During his lifetime, a Participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him.
An option granted with respect to a particular Offering Period shall terminate when so exercised or when the recipient of such option earlier withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Paragraph 10. 
  

 7 

 9. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date of each Offering Period, the
Corporation shall, in its discretion, either deliver to each Participant a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of his or her option, provide for the crediting of such shares in book entry form in the name of
the Participant, or provide for an alternative arrangement for the delivery of such shares to a broker or recordkeeping service for the benefit of the Participant. In the event the Corporation is required to obtain from any commission or agency
authority to issue any such certificate or otherwise deliver such shares, the Corporation will seek to obtain such authority. If the Corporation is unable to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Corporation deems
necessary for the lawful issuance of any such certificate or other delivery of such shares, or if for any other reason the Corporation cannot issue or deliver shares of Common Stock and satisfy Paragraph 22, the Corporation shall be relieved from
liability to any Participant except that the Corporation shall return to each Participant to whom such shares cannot be issued or delivered the amount of the balance credited to his or her Plan account that would have otherwise been used for the
purchase of such shares. 
  
 10. Withdrawal; Termination of
Employment. 
  
 (a) A Participant may
withdraw all, but not less than all, of the funds credited to his account under the Plan during an Offering Period by giving written notice to the Corporation on a form provided for such purpose, provided that such notice is received by the
Corporation before the last day of such Offering Period (or such earlier deadline as the Committee may establish). All of the Participant’s funds remaining credited to his account at the time of such withdrawal will be paid to him promptly
after receipt of his notice of withdrawal, his option for that Offering Period will be automatically cancelled, and he will not be permitted to make any further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares with respect to that Offering Period.

  
 (b) Upon termination of the
Participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, permanent disability or death, the funds credited to his account will be returned to him or, in the case of his death, to his estate, and his option for the Offering Period in which
the termination occurs will be automatically cancelled. For purposes of the Plan, if a Participating Company ceases to be a Subsidiary (or, if applicable in the case of a Sub-Plan, an Affiliate), each person employed by that Subsidiary (or
Affiliate) will be deemed to have terminated employment at the time the Participating Company ceases to be a Subsidiary (or Affiliate), unless such person continues as an Employee in respect of another Company entity. 
  
 (c) A Participant who goes on an unpaid leave of absence
shall be permitted to remain in the Plan with respect to an Offering Period which commenced prior to the beginning of such leave of absence; provided, that if such Participant is not guaranteed reemployment by contract or statute and the leave of
absence extends beyond three (3) months, such Participant shall be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the Plan on the next day following the expiration of such 

  

 8 

 
three-month period. The payroll deductions for a Participant who has been on an unpaid leave of absence will resume at the same rate as in effect prior to
such leave upon the Participant’s return to work unless changed by such Participant; provided, however, that if the Participant has been on an unpaid leave of absence either throughout an entire Offering Period or for more than three
(3) months, the Participant shall not be permitted to re-enter the Plan until a subscription agreement is filed with respect to a subsequent Offering Period which commences after such Participant has returned to work from the unpaid leave of
absence. 
  
 (d) A Participant’s withdrawal
from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his eligibility to participate in a succeeding Offering Period or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Corporation. 
  
 11. No Interest. No interest shall be paid to a Participant or shall
accrue on any funds credited to his account under the Plan (in respect of account balances, refunds of account balances, or otherwise). Each such account is merely a bookkeeping entry in the Corporation’s records (or the records of a third
party administrator) used to determine the number of shares that the Participant may acquire under this Plan in the applicable Offering Period. 
  
 12. Stock. 
  
 (a) The maximum number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock which may be sold pursuant to options exercised under the Plan
(including all Sub-Plans adopted hereunder) shall be Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (2,250,000) shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Corporation as provided in Paragraph 19. The shares to be sold to
Participants in the Plan may be, at the election of the Corporation, either treasury shares or shares authorized but unissued. If the total number of shares which would otherwise be subject to options granted pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) hereof at the
Option Grant Date exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan (after deduction of all shares for which options have been exercised or are then outstanding), the Corporation shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining
available for option grant based on the Participants’ account balances as of such date. 
  
 (b) The Participant will have no interest or voting rights in respect of any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of
record by the Participant. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such delivery. 
  
 (c) Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or in street name in the
Participant’s account at the Corporation’s approved brokerage firm. 
  

 9 

 13. Administration. 
  
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board. The Board may from
time to time remove members from or add members to the Committee. Vacancies on the Committee, however caused, shall be filled by the Board. Acts taken or approved by a majority of the Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in
writing by all members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. 
  
 (b) Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall supervise and administer the Plan and shall have the full authority
and discretion to (i) construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Plan, (iii) make all other determinations and take such other
action as contemplated by the Plan or as may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan or the effectuation of its purposes, (iv) establish Sub-Plans, (v) designate from time to time the Subsidiaries whose employees may
be eligible to participate in the 423 Sub-Plan or a Sub-Plan, and (vi) designate from time to time the Affiliates whose employees may be eligible to participate in a Sub-Plan. The administration, interpretation or application of the Plan by the
Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Participants. Members of the Board or the Committee who are eligible Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan. 
  
 (c) The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of Sub-Plans to
accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of
interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. The Committee may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as the applicable laws allow to accomplish
the transfer of secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (“NIC”) in the United Kingdom (“UK”) from the employer to the Participants in the UK and to make such transfer of NIC liability a condition to the exercise of
options in the UK. 
  
 (d) Neither the Board nor
the Committee, nor any member thereof, nor any person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection the Plan or any option granted under the
Plan, and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest
extent permitted by law and/or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. 
  
 (e) All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Corporation. The Committee may request advice or
assistance or employ 

  

 10 

 
such other persons as it determines is necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan. 
  
 14. Transferability. Neither funds credited to a Participant’s
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) by the
Participant and options granted hereunder are exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition, shall be void and without effect, except that the
Corporation may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Paragraph 10. 
  
 15. Use of Funds. All funds received or held by the Corporation under the Plan may be used by the Corporation for any corporate purpose, and the
Corporation shall not be obligated to segregate such funds unless segregation of accounts is required by local law. 
  
 16. Statements. Statements of account will be given to Participants promptly following each Purchase Date, which statements will set forth the
amounts of payroll deductions accumulated in the Participant’s account, the per share purchase price, the number of shares purchased and any excess contributions for the Offering Period ending as of such Purchase Date. 
  
 17. Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares or any similar unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an
entirety, the number of shares then subject to outstanding options and the number of authorized shares remaining available to be sold under the Plan shall be increased or decreased appropriately, with such other adjustment as may be deemed necessary
or equitable by the Committee. 
  
 18. Possible Early
Termination of Plan and Options. Upon a dissolution of the Corporation, or any other event described in Paragraph 17 that the Corporation does not survive or does not survive as a publicly-traded company in respect of its Common Stock, as the
case may be, the Plan and, if prior to the last day of an Offering Period, any outstanding option granted with respect to that Offering Period, shall terminate, subject to any provision that has been expressly made by the Committee for the survival,
substitution, assumption, exchange or other settlement of the Plan and such options. In the event a Participant’s option is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 18 without a provision having been made by the Committee for a substitution,
assumption, exchange or other settlement of such option, such Participant’s account shall be paid to him or her in cash without interest. 
  
 19. Amendment. The Board may at any time amend the Plan. No such amendment may make any change in any option previously granted which adversely
affects the rights of any Participant without such Participant’s consent. Shareholder 

  

 11 

 
approval for any amendment shall not be required, except to the extent that the Board determines that such approval is required by the rules of the
Commission, the Code or the stock exchange(s) on which the Corporation’s shares are listed, as such rules are in effect at the time the Plan amendment becomes effective. 
  
 20. Termination. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan. Except as provided in Paragraph 18, no such
termination will affect options previously granted. Unless sooner terminated by the Board pursuant to Paragraph 18 or this Paragraph 20, the Plan shall terminate as of the Purchase Date on or immediately following the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date. 
  
 21. Notices. All notices or other
communications by a Participant to the Corporation in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Corporation at the location, or by the person, designated by the Corporation for the
receipt thereof. 
  
 22. Government and Other Regulations.
The Plan, and the grant and exercise of the rights to purchase shares hereunder, and the Corporation’s obligation to sell and deliver shares upon the exercise of rights to purchase shares, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and
foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or government agency as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be required. Any amendments requiring shareholder approval shall take effect only subject to
such approval. 
  
 23. Applicable Law. The interpretation,
performance and enforcement of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 24. Plan Construction. 
  
 (a) Section 16. It is the intent of the Corporation that transactions involving options under the Plan (other than
“Discretionary Transactions” as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(1) promulgated by the Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to the extent there are any Discretionary Transactions under the Plan), in the case of
Participants who are or may be subject to the prohibitions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3(c) promulgated by the Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the maximum
extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have no liability to any Participant for Section 16 consequences of options or other events with respect to the plan. 
  
 (b) Section 423. The Plan and options granted
under the Plan (other than pursuant to a Sub-Plan) are intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. 
  
 (c) Interpretation. If any provision of the Plan or of any option granted under the Plan would otherwise frustrate or
conflict with the intents expressed above, that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted so as to avoid such conflict. If the conflict remains irreconcilable, the Committee may disregard the provision if it 

  

 12 

 
concludes that to do so furthers the interest of the Corporation and is consistent with the purposes of the Plan as to such persons in the circumstances.

  
 25. Employees’ Rights. 
  
 (a) No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan (or in
any other document related to the Plan) will confer upon any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of a Participating Company, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or affect an
Employee’s status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of a Participating Company to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or
without cause. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 25(a), however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of any such person under a separate employment or service contract. 
  
 (b) No Rights to Assets of the Company. No
Participant or other person will have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock) of the Corporation or any other Participating Company by reason of any option hereunder. Neither the
provisions of the Plan (or of any other document related to the Plan), nor the creation or adoption of the Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between any Participating Company and any Participant, Participant’s beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a Participant, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to the Plan, such right
will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. 
  
 (c) No Representation as to Qualified Status of 423 Sub-Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, neither the
Corporation nor any Subsidiary makes any representation to any person in adopting the Plan or becoming a Participating Company under the 423 Sub-Plan that such 423 Sub-Plan is qualified as an “employee stock purchase plan” under
Section 423 of the Code or that options granted under the 423 Sub-Plan shall be subject to any particular tax treatment. 
  
 26. Severability. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of
the Plan shall continue in effect. 
  
 27. Captions and
Headings. Captions and headings are given to the paragraphs of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such captions and headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction of interpretation of the
Plan or any provision hereof. 
  
 28. No Effect on Other Plans
or Corporate Authority. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other Participating Company compensation or incentive plans in effect. Nothing in the Plan will limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or 

  

 13 

 
Committee (1) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for employees of any Participating Company (with or without reference to the
Common Stock), or (2) to grant or assume options (outside the scope of and in addition to those contemplated by the Plan) in connection with any proper corporate purpose, to the extent consistent with any other plan or authority. Benefits
received by a Participant under an option granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of the Participant’s compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements,
if any, provided by a Participating Company, except where the Committee (or the Board of Directors of the Participating Company that sponsors such plan or arrangement, as applicable) expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. 

 

	29.	 	Tax Withholding. 

  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Corporation may deduct from a Participant’s account
balance as of a Purchase Date, before the exercise of the Participant’s option is given effect on such date, the amount of taxes (if any) which the Corporation reasonably determines it or any other Participating Company may be required to
withhold with respect to such exercise. In such event, the maximum number of whole shares subject to such option (subject to the other limits set forth in the Plan) shall be purchased at the purchase price with the balance of the Participant’s
account (after reduction for the tax withholding amount). 
  
 (b) Should the Corporation for any reason be unable, or elect not to, satisfy its or any other Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations in the manner described in Paragraph 29(a) with respect to a
Participant’s exercise of an option granted under the Plan, or should any Participating Company reasonably determine that it or an affiliated entity has a tax withholding obligation with respect to a disposition of shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an option prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 423 of the Code, the Participating Company shall have the right at its option to (1) require the Participant to pay or provide for payment of the
amount of any taxes which the Participating Company reasonably determines that it or any affiliate is required to withhold with respect to such event or (2) deduct from any amount otherwise payable to or for the account of the Participant the
amount of any taxes which the Participating Company reasonably determines that it or any affiliate is required to withhold with respect to such event. 
  
 30. Notice of Sale. Any person who has acquired shares under the Plan shall give prompt written notice to the Corporation of any sale or other
transfer of the shares if such sale or transfer occurs (1) within the two-year period after the Option Grant Date of the Offering Period with respect to which such shares were acquired, or (2) within the twelve-month period after the
Purchase Date of the Offering Period with respect to which such shares were acquired. 
  

 14Form of 2005 Equity Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 FORM OF SPANSION INC. 
 2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 1.
PURPOSE OF PLAN 
  
 The purpose of this Spansion, Inc. 2005
Equity Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) of Spansion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), is to promote the success of the Corporation, to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through
the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons, and through the grant of equity-based awards to help further align the interests of stockholders and those selected to participate in this
Plan. 
  
 2. ELIGIBILITY 
  
 The Administrator (as such term is defined in Section 3.1) may grant
awards under this Plan only to those persons that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons. An “Eligible Person” is any person who is either: (a) an officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Corporation
or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant or advisor who renders or has rendered bona fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or
sale of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and who is
selected to participate in this Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the
Corporation’s eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Corporation or the Corporation’s
compliance with any other applicable laws. An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a “participant”) may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional awards if the Administrator shall so determine. As used herein,
“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation; and “Board” means the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. 
  
 3. PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
  

	 	3.1	The Administrator. This Plan shall be administered by and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized by the Administrator. The
“Administrator” means the Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board, including the compensation committee, or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this Plan. Any
such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as may be required under applicable law. A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another committee so constituted. The Board or a
committee comprised solely of directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by 

 Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other applicable law, to one or more
officers of the Corporation, its powers under this Plan (a) to designate the officers and employees of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries who will receive grants of awards under this Plan, and (b) to determine the number of shares
subject to, and the other terms and conditions of, such awards. The Board may delegate different levels of authority to different committees with administrative and grant authority under this Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the
Corporation or the applicable charter of any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the
unanimous written consent of the members of the Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator. 
  
 With respect to awards intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), this Plan shall be administered by a committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is applied under Section 162(m) of the Code); provided, however, that the
failure to satisfy such requirement shall not affect the validity of the action of any committee otherwise duly authorized and acting in the matter. Award grants, and transactions in or involving awards, intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be duly and timely authorized by the Board or a committee consisting solely of two or more non-employee directors (as this requirement is applied under Rule
16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). To the extent required by any applicable listing agency, this Plan shall be administered by a committee composed entirely of independent directors (within the meaning of the applicable listing agency).

  

	 	3.2	Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or
desirable in connection with the authorization of awards and the administration of this Plan (in the case of a committee or delegation to one or more officers, within the authority delegated to that committee or person(s)), including, without
limitation, the authority to: 

  

	 	(a)	determine eligibility and, from among those persons determined to be eligible, the particular Eligible Persons who will receive an award under this Plan; 

 

	 	(b)	grant awards to Eligible Persons, determine the price at which securities will be offered or awarded and the number of securities to be offered or awarded to any of such persons,
determine the other specific terms and conditions of such awards consistent with the express limits of this Plan, establish the installments (if any) in which such awards shall become exercisable or shall vest (which may include, without limitation,
performance and/or time-based schedules), or determine that no delayed exercisability or vesting is required, establish any applicable performance targets, and establish the events of termination or reversion of such awards;

	 	(c)	approve the forms of award agreements (which need not be identical either as to type of award or among participants); 

  

	 	(d)	construe and interpret this Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and participants under this Plan, further define the
terms used in this Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan or the awards granted under this Plan; 

  

	 	(e)	cancel, modify, or waive the Corporation’s rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consent
under Section 8.6.5; 

  

	 	(f)	accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability or extend the term of any or all such outstanding awards (in the case of options or stock appreciation rights, within the maximum
ten-year term of such awards) in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate (including, without limitation, in connection with a termination of employment or services or other events of a personal nature) subject to any required
consent under Section 8.6.5; 

  

	 	(g)	adjust the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award, adjust the price of any or all outstanding awards or otherwise change previously imposed terms and conditions, in
such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 4 and 8.6, and provided that in no case (except due to an adjustment contemplated by Section 7 or any repricing that may be approved by stockholders)
shall such an adjustment constitute a repricing (by amendment, cancellation and regrant, exchange or other means) of the per share exercise or base price of any option or stock appreciation right; 

  

	 	(h)	determine the date of grant of an award, which may be a designated date after but not before the date of the Administrator’s action (unless otherwise designated by the
Administrator, the date of grant of an award shall be the date upon which the Administrator took the action granting an award); 

  

	 	(i)	determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 7 hereof and authorize the termination, conversion, substitution or succession of
awards upon the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 7; 

  

	 	(j)	acquire or settle (subject to Sections 7 and 8.6) rights under awards in cash, stock of equivalent value, or other consideration; 

	 	(k)	determine the fair market value of the Common Stock or awards under this Plan from time to time and/or the manner in which such value will be determined; and

  

	 	(l)	adjust performance measures, performance conditions and performance goals applicable to awards granted under this Plan in light of any material change in corporate capitalization,
any material corporate transaction, any change to accounting policies or practices, the effects of special charges to the Corporation’s earnings, or any other similar special circumstance, in each case to the extent consistent with
Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to awards intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation thereunder, to the extent (if any) the Administrator determines that the adjustment is necessary or advisable in order to
preserve the intended incentives and benefits related to such awards. 

  

	 	3.3	Binding Determinations. Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation or the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan and within its authority
hereunder or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Neither the Board nor any Board committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at the
direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any award made under this Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification
and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers
liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. 

  

	 	3.4	Reliance on Experts. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Board or a committee, as the case may be, may obtain
and may rely upon the advice of experts, including employees and professional advisors to the Corporation. No director, officer or agent of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made
or omitted in good faith. 

  

	 	3.5	Delegation. The Administrator may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation or any of
its Subsidiaries or to third parties. 

  
 4. SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; SHARE LIMITS 
  

	 	4.1	Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the capital stock that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of the
Corporation’s authorized but unissued Common Stock and any shares of its Common Stock held as treasury shares. For purposes of this Plan, “Common Stock” shall mean the Class A common stock of the Corporation and such other
securities or property as may become the subject of awards under this Plan, or may become subject to such awards, pursuant to an adjustment made under Section 7.1. 

	 	4.2	Share Limits. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted to Eligible Persons under this Plan (the
“Share Limit”) is Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand (9, 500,000) shares. The following limits also apply with respect to awards granted under this Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under this Plan is Nine Million Five Hundred
Thousand (9, 500,000) shares. 

  

	 	(b)	The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to those options and stock appreciation rights that are granted during any calendar year to any individual under this Plan is
One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1, 500,000) shares. 

  
 Each of the foregoing numerical limits is subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 4.3, Section 7.1, and Section 8.10. 
  

	 	4.3	Awards Settled in Cash, Reissue of Awards and Shares. To the extent that an award is settled in cash or a form other than shares of Common Stock, the shares
that would have been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under this Plan. In the event that shares of Common Stock are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent
right, stock appreciation right, or other award, only the actual number of shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the share limits of this Plan. Shares that are subject to or underlie awards which expire or for any
reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this Plan shall again be available for subsequent awards under this Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld
by the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with any award under this Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related
to any award under this Plan, shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan. Refer to Section 8.10 for application of the foregoing share limits with respect to assumed awards. The foregoing adjustments to the share limits of this
Plan are subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to awards intended as performance-based compensation thereunder. 

  

	 	4.4	Reservation of Shares; No Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to cover the
Corporation’s obligations and contingent obligations to deliver shares with respect to awards then outstanding under this Plan (exclusive of any dividend equivalent obligations to the extent the Corporation has the right to settle such rights
in cash). No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Plan. The Administrator may pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares in settlements of awards under this Plan. 

 5. AWARDS 
  

	 	5.1	Type and Form of Awards. The Administrator shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each selected Eligible Person.
Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of
the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are: 

  
 5.1.1 Stock Options. A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock during a
specified period as determined by the Administrator. An option may be intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an “ISO”) or a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be
an ISO). The award agreement for an option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. The per
share exercise price for each option shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of the award. When an option is exercised, the exercise price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method
permitted by the Administrator consistent with Section 5.4. 
  
 5.1.2 Additional Rules Applicable to ISOs. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant of the applicable option) of stock with respect to which ISOs first become exercisable by a
participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both Common Stock subject to ISOs under this Plan and stock subject to ISOs under all other plans of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries (or any parent or predecessor
corporation to the extent required by and within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. In reducing the number of options treated as ISOs
to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Administrator may, in the manner and to the extent
permitted by law, designate which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose, the term
“subsidiary” is used as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken chain of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of each subsidiary in the chain
beginning with the Corporation and ending with the subsidiary in question). The per share exercise price of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. There shall be
imposed in any award agreement relating to ISOs such other terms and conditions as from time to time are required in order that the option be an “incentive stock option” as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code. No ISO may
be granted to any person who, at the time the option is granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) shares of outstanding Common Stock 

 possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation,
unless the exercise price of such option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted.

  
 5.1.3 Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock
appreciation right or “SAR” is a right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised over the
“base price” of the SAR, as such base price is established by the Administrator at the time of grant of the award. The maximum term of an SAR shall be ten (10) years. 
  
 5.1.4 Other Awards. The other types of awards that may be granted under this Plan include:
(a) stock bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, phantom stock, dividend equivalents, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price or ratio related to the Common Stock, upon the
passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; or (b) any similar securities with a value derived from the value of or related to the Common
Stock and/or returns thereon. 
  

	 	5.2	Award Agreements. Each award shall be evidenced by an award agreement in the form approved by the Administrator and, if required by the Administrator, executed by the
recipient of the award. The Administrator may authorize any officer of the Corporation (other than the particular award recipient) to execute any or all award agreements on behalf of the Corporation. The award agreement shall set forth the material
terms and conditions of the award as established by the Administrator consistent with the express limitations of this Plan. 

  

	 	5.3	Deferrals and Settlements. Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards or combinations thereof as the Administrator shall determine, and
with such restrictions as it may impose. The Administrator may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this Plan. The
Administrator may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest or other earnings on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred amounts are denominated in
shares. 

  

	 	5.4	Consideration for Common Stock or Awards. The purchase price for any award granted under this Plan or the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an award, as
applicable, may be paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, one or a combination of the following methods: 

  

	 	•	services rendered by the recipient of such award; 

	 	•	cash, check payable to the order of the Corporation, or electronic funds transfer; 

  

	 	•	notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator; 

  

	 	•	the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock; 

  

	 	•	by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the award; or 

  

	 	•	subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a “cashless exercise” with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who
otherwise facilitates) the purchase or exercise of awards. 

  
 In no event shall any shares newly-issued by the Corporation be issued for less than the minimum lawful consideration for such shares or for consideration other than consideration permitted by applicable state law. In
the event that the Administrator allows a participant to exercise an award by delivering shares of Common Stock previously owned by such participant and unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, any shares delivered which were
initially acquired by the participant from the Corporation (upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise) must have been owned by the participant at least six months as of the date of delivery. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the exercise
price of an option shall be valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise. The Corporation will not be obligated to deliver any shares unless and until it receives full payment of the exercise or purchase price therefor and any related
withholding obligations under Section 8.5 and any other conditions to exercise or purchase have been satisfied. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, the Administrator may at any time eliminate or limit a
participant’s ability to pay the purchase or exercise price of any award or shares by any method other than cash payment to the Corporation. 
  

	 	5.5	Definition of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Plan, “fair market value” shall mean, unless otherwise determined or provided by the
Administrator in the circumstances, the last price for a share of Common Stock as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) through the NASDAQ National Market Reporting System (the “National
Market”) for the date in question or, if no sales of Common Stock were reported by the NASD on the National Market on that date, the last price for a share of Common Stock as furnished by the NASD through the National Market for the next
preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were reported by the NASD. The Administrator may, however, provide with respect to one or more awards that the fair market value shall equal the last price for a share of Common Stock as furnished by the
NASD through the National Market available on the date in question or the average of the high and low trading prices of a share of Common Stock as furnished by the NASD through the National Market for the date in question or the most recent trading
day. If the Common Stock is no longer listed or is no longer actively traded on the National Market as of the applicable date, 

 the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the value as reasonably determined by the
Administrator for purposes of the award in the circumstances. The Administrator also may adopt a different methodology for determining fair market value with respect to one or more awards if a different methodology is necessary or advisable to
secure any intended favorable tax, legal or other treatment for the particular award(s) (for example, and without limitation, the Administrator may provide that fair market value for purposes of one or more awards will be based on an average of
closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the relevant date). 
  

	 	5.6	Transfer Restrictions. 

  
 5.6.1 Limitations on Exercise and Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 5.6, by
applicable law and by the award agreement, as the same may be amended, (a) all awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge;
(b) awards shall be exercised only by the participant; and (c) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the participant. 
  
 5.6.2 Exceptions. The Administrator may permit awards
to be exercised by and paid to, or otherwise transferred to, other persons or entities pursuant to such conditions and procedures, including limitations on subsequent transfers, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, establish in writing.
Any permitted transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. 
  
 5.6.3 Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer. The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 5.6.1 shall not apply to:

  

	 	(a)	transfers to the Corporation, 

  

	 	(b)	the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the participant’s death or, if the participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the participant’s
beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution (and exercise by the participant’s executor or personal representative), 

  

	 	(c)	subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to a family member (or former family member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if approved or ratified by the
Administrator, 

  

	 	(d)	if the participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the participant by his or her legal representative, or 

  

	 	(e)	the authorization by the Administrator of “cashless exercise” procedures with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the
exercise of awards consistent with applicable laws and the express authorization of the Administrator. 

	 	5.7	International Awards. One or more awards may be granted to Eligible Persons who provide services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries outside of the
United States. Any awards granted to such persons may be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any applicable sub-plans, if any, appended to this Plan and approved by the Administrator. 

  
 6. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON AWARDS 
  

	 	6.1	General. The Administrator shall establish the effect of a termination of employment or service on the rights and benefits under each award under this Plan and
in so doing may make distinctions based upon, inter alia, the cause of termination and type of award. If the participant is not an employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and provides other services to the Corporation or one of its
Subsidiaries, the Administrator shall be the sole judge for purposes of this Plan (unless a contract or the award otherwise provides) of whether the participant continues to render services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and the date,
if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated. 

  

	 	6.2	Events Not Deemed Terminations of Service. Unless the express policy of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides,
the employment relationship shall not be considered terminated in the case of (a) sick leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other leave of absence authorized by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator;
provided that unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or law or the express policy of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides, such leave is for a period of not
more than three months. In the case of any employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries on an approved leave of absence, continued vesting of the award while on leave from the employ of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be
suspended until the employee returns to service, unless the Administrator otherwise provides or applicable law otherwise requires. In no event shall an award be exercised after the expiration of the term set forth in the award agreement.

  

	 	6.3	Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status. For purposes of this Plan and any award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation a termination of
employment or service shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to each Eligible Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible Person in respect of another entity within the Corporation or another Subsidiary that
continues as such after giving effect to the transaction or other event giving rise to the change in status. 

  
 7. ADJUSTMENTS; ACCELERATION 
  

	 	7.1	Adjustments. Upon or in contemplation of: any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or
reverse stock split (“stock split”); any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend 

 distribution in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form of securities or property); any exchange
of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of all or substantially all the business or assets of the Corporation as an entirety;
then the Administrator shall, in such manner, to such extent (if any) and at such time as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances: 
  

	 	(a)	proportionately adjust any or all of (1) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the
specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (2) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any or all outstanding awards, (3) the grant,
purchase, or exercise price (which term includes the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any or all outstanding awards, (4) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, or
(5) (subject to Section 8.8.3(a)) the performance standards applicable to any outstanding awards, or 

  

	 	(b)	make provision for a cash payment or for the assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding share-based awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the
holder of any or all outstanding share-based awards, based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event. 

  
 The Administrator may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a
cash or property settlement and, in the case of options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event
over the exercise or base price of the award. With respect to any award of an ISO, the Administrator may make such an adjustment that causes the option to cease to qualify as an ISO without the consent of the affected participant. 
  
 In any of such events, the Administrator may take such action prior to such
event to the extent that the Administrator deems the action necessary to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be available to stockholders
generally. In the case of any stock split or reverse stock split, if no action is taken by the Administrator, the proportionate adjustments contemplated by clause (a) above shall nevertheless be made. 
  

	 	7.2	Automatic Acceleration of Awards. Upon a dissolution of the Corporation or other event described in Section 7.1 that the Corporation does not survive (or
does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Stock), then each then-outstanding option and SAR shall become fully vested, all shares of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and each other award
granted under this Plan that is then outstanding shall become payable to the holder 

 of such award; provided that such acceleration provision shall not apply, unless otherwise expressly
provided by the Administrator, with respect to any award to the extent that the Administrator has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of the award, or the award would otherwise continue in
accordance with its terms, in the circumstances. 
  

	 	7.3	Possible Acceleration of Awards. Without limiting Section 7.2, in the event of a Change in Control Event (as defined below), the Administrator may, in its
discretion, provide that any outstanding option or SAR shall become fully vested, that any share of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and that any other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding
shall be payable to the holder of such award. The Administrator may take such action with respect to all awards then outstanding or only with respect to certain specific awards identified by the Administrator in the circumstances. For purposes of
this Plan, “Change in Control Event” means any of the following: 

  

	 	(a)	The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its
affiliates (collectively, “AMD”) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than thirty three percent (33%) of
either (1) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this clause (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control Event;
(A) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (B) any acquisition by the Corporation, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any affiliate of the
Corporation or a successor, or (D) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that complies with Sections (c)(1), (2) and (3) below; 

  

	 	(b)	Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board or the board of directors of any entity that directly or indirectly owns all of the outstanding equity securities of
the Corporation (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board (or the board of directors of any entity that directly or indirectly owns all of the outstanding equity securities of the
Corporation); provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
individuals then comprising the Incumbent Board (including for these purposes, the new members whose election or nomination was so approved, without counting the member and the member’s predecessor twice) shall be considered as though such
individual were a member of the 

 Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office
occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board or the board of
directors of any entity that directly or indirectly owns all of the outstanding equity securities of the Corporation; 
  

	 	(c)	Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any
parent entity, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Business
Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company
Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially
all of the Corporation’s assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a “Parent”)) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent or AMD or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation
or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or Parent) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than thirty three percent (33%) of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from such
Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that the ownership in excess of thirty three percent (33%) existed prior to the Business Combination, and
(3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the
action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or 

  

	 	(d)	Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation other than in the context of a transaction that does not constitute a
Change in Control Event under clause (c) above; 

  
 provided, however, that in no case shall the acquisition by Fujitsu Limited and its affiliates (collectively “Fujitsu”) of Outstanding Company Common Stock or 

 Outstanding Company Voting Securities constitute a Change in Control Event so long as such level of
ownership is (1) less than AMD’s level of ownership in such securities, and (2) not more than forty percent (40%) of the Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively. 
  

	 	7.4	Early Termination of Awards. Any award that is then outstanding and has been accelerated as required or contemplated by Section 7.2 or 7.3 (or would have
been so accelerated but for Section 7.5 or 7.6, and including any award that is then outstanding and otherwise fully vested) shall terminate upon the related event referred to in Section 7.2 or upon a Change in Control Event, as
applicable, subject to any provision that has been expressly made by the Administrator, through a plan of reorganization or otherwise, for the survival, substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of such award and
provided that, in the case of options and SARs that will not survive, be substituted for, assumed, exchanged, or otherwise continued or settled in the transaction, the holder of such award shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending
termination and a reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding options and SARs in accordance with their terms before the termination of such awards (except that in no case shall more than ten days’ notice of accelerated vesting
and the impending termination be required and any acceleration may be made contingent upon the actual occurrence of the event). 

  

	 	7.5	Other Acceleration Rules. Any acceleration of awards pursuant to this Section 7 shall comply with applicable legal requirements and, if necessary to
accomplish the purposes of the acceleration or if the circumstances require, may be deemed by the Administrator to occur a limited period of time not greater than 30 days before the event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrator may deem an acceleration to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and/or reinstate the original terms of an award if an event giving rise to an acceleration does not occur. The Administrator may override the provisions of
Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and/or 7.6 by express provision in the award agreement and may accord any Eligible Person a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the award agreement or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Administrator
may approve. The portion of any ISO accelerated in connection with a Change in Control Event or any other action permitted hereunder shall remain exercisable as an ISO only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation on ISOs is not exceeded. To
the extent exceeded, the accelerated portion of the option shall be exercisable as a nonqualified stock option under the Code. 

  

	 	7.6	Possible Rescission of Acceleration. If the vesting of an award has been accelerated expressly in anticipation of an event or upon stockholder approval of an
event and the Administrator later determines that the event will not occur, the Administrator may rescind the effect of the acceleration as to any then outstanding and unexercised or otherwise unvested awards. 

 8. OTHER PROVISIONS 
  

	 	8.1	Compliance with Laws. This Plan, the granting and vesting of awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, the acceptance
of promissory notes and/or the payment of money under this Plan or under awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law, federal
margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under this
Plan will, if requested by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all
applicable legal and accounting requirements. 

  

	 	8.2	Discretionary Plan. No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award (or additional awards, as the case may be) under this Plan, subject to any
express contractual rights (set forth in a document other than this Plan) to the contrary. 

  

	 	8.3	No Employment/Service Contract. Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents under this Plan or in any award) shall confer upon any Eligible Person
or other participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or affect an employee’s status as an employee at will,
nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to change a person’s compensation or other benefits, or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or without cause. Nothing in this
Section 8.3, however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of such person under a separate employment or service contract other than an award agreement. 

  

	 	8.4	Plan Not Funded. Awards payable under this Plan shall be payable in shares or from the general assets of the Corporation, and no special or separate reserve,
fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such awards. No participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise
provided) of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions
of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and any participant, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a participant, beneficiary
or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. 

  

	 	8.5	Tax Withholding. Upon any grant, exercise, vesting, or payment of any award, upon the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise

 of an ISO prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or
upon any other event in connection with an award that may constitute a tax withholding event under applicable law, the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right at its option to: 
  

	 	(a)	require the participant (or the participant’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of at least the minimum amount of any
taxes which the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect to such award event or payment; or 

  

	 	(b)	deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the participant (or the participant’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) the minimum amount of any
taxes which the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment. 

  
 In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock under this Plan, the Administrator may in its
sole discretion (subject to Section 8.1) grant (either at the time of the award or thereafter) to the participant the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, to have the
Corporation reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a consistent manner at their fair market value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for
cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding obligation on exercise, vesting or payment. In no event shall the shares withheld exceed the minimum whole number of shares required for tax withholding under applicable
law. The Corporation may, with the Administrator’s approval, accept one or more promissory notes from any Eligible Person in connection with taxes required to be withheld upon the exercise, vesting or payment of any award under this Plan;
provided that any such note shall be subject to terms and conditions established by the Administrator and the requirements of applicable law. 
  

	 	8.6	Effective Date, Termination and Suspension, Amendments. 

  

8.6.1 Effective Date. This Plan is effective as of
[                , 2005], the date of its approval by the Board (the “Effective Date”). This Plan shall be submitted for and
subject to stockholder approval no later than twelve months after the Effective Date. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. After the
termination of this Plan either upon such stated expiration date or its earlier termination by the Board, no additional awards may be granted under this Plan, but previously granted awards (and the authority of the Administrator with respect
thereto, including the authority to amend such awards) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan. 

 8.6.2 Board Authorization. The Board (including, without limitation, any committee
thereof to the extent consistent with its delegated authority) may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend this Plan, in whole or in part. No awards may be granted during any period that the Board suspends this Plan.

  
 8.6.3 Stockholder Approval. To the
extent then required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency or required under Sections 162, 422 or 424 of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan, or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, any amendment to
this Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval. 
  
 8.6.4
Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority of the Administrator under (but subject to) the express limits of this Plan, the Administrator by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on
awards to participants that the Administrator in the prior exercise of its discretion has imposed, without the consent of a participant, and (subject to the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 8.6.5) may make other changes to the terms and conditions
of awards. Any amendment or other action that would constitute a repricing of an award is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2(g). 
  
 8.6.5 Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan or amendment of any
outstanding award agreement shall, without written consent of the participant, affect in any manner materially adverse to the participant any rights or benefits of the participant or obligations of the Corporation under any award granted under this
Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 7 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.6. 
  

	 	8.7	Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Administrator or this Plan, a participant shall not be entitled to any privilege
of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the participant. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

  

	 	8.8	Governing Law; Construction; Severability. 

  
 8.8.1 Choice of Law. This Plan, the awards, all documents evidencing awards and all other related documents shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 8.8.2 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect. 

	 	8.8.3	Plan Construction. 

  

	 	(a)	Rule 16b-3. It is the intent of the Corporation that the awards and transactions permitted by awards be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of participants who are or
may be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, qualify, to the maximum extent compatible with the express terms of the award, for exemption from matching liability under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation shall have no liability to any participant for Section 16 consequences of awards or events under awards if an award or event does not so qualify. 

  

	 	(b)	Section 162(m). Options and SARs granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries with an exercise or base price not less than the fair market value of
a share of Common Stock at the date of grant that are approved by a committee composed solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is applied under Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be deemed to be intended as performance-based
compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code unless such committee provides otherwise at the time of grant of the award. It is the further intent of the Corporation that (to the extent the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries
or awards under this Plan may be or become subject to limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code) any such awards that are granted to or held by a person subject to Section 162(m) will qualify as performance-based
compensation or otherwise be exempt from deductibility limitations under Section 162(m). 

  

	 	8.9	Captions. Captions and headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not
be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof. 

  

	 	8.10	Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by Other Corporation. Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in substitution for or in
connection with an assumption of employee stock options, SARs, restricted stock or other stock-based awards granted by other entities to persons who are or who will become Eligible Persons in respect of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, in
connection with a distribution, merger or other reorganization by or with the granting entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the
stock or assets of the employing entity. The awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided the awards reflect only adjustments giving effect to the assumption or substitution consistent with the conversion
applicable to the Common Stock in the transaction and any change in the issuer of the security. Any shares that are delivered and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation, as a result of the assumption by the
Corporation of, or in substitution for, outstanding 

 awards previously granted by an acquired company (or previously granted by a predecessor employer (or
direct or indirect parent thereof) in the case of persons that become employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar transaction) shall not be counted against the Share Limit or
other limits on the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan. 
  

	 	8.11	Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Administrator to grant awards or authorize any
other compensation, with or without reference to the Common Stock, under any other plan or authority. 

  

	 	8.12	No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of this Plan, the award agreements and the awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the
right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the capital structure or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary,
(b) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the capital stock (or the
rights thereof) of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or
(f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. No participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim under any award or award agreement against any member of the Board or the Administrator, or the
Corporation or any employees, officers or agents of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action. 

  

	 	8.13	Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a participant under an award made pursuant to this Plan shall not be
deemed a part of a participant’s compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any severance or termination pay plan or arrangement, any retirement or supplemental retirement plan or arrangement, or any other compensation,
welfare or benefit plan or arrangement, if any, provided by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except where the Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. Awards under this Plan may be made in addition to, in combination
with, as alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or commitments under any other plans or arrangements of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.
