NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES

STOCK OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR GRANTS ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2005

Congratulations on being granted stock options under Spansion’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares of your grant, the exercise price and the vesting schedule are in your stock option Grant Notice. Your grant is subject to the provisions of your Grant Notice, these Terms and Conditions, and the Plan document (collectively, the “Terms”). Your options are non-qualified options and are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Your options have been granted to you in addition to, and not instead of, any other form of compensation.

In addition to these Terms and Conditions, you should carefully read your Grant Notice and the other Plan documents, which are available on the E*Trade web site.

Vesting of Your Stock Options

Except as stated below, your options that have not expired or terminated vest according to the schedule in your Grant Notice if you are an active employee of Spansion or its subsidiary (“Spansion”) through the entire vesting period. You may exercise the options (i.e, purchase shares) only after they have vested. Once options vest, you have the right to exercise them until they expire or terminate.

If Spansion Experiences Certain Corporate Events

 

   

If Spansion experiences a “Change in Control” as described in the Plan, your outstanding unvested stock options may become 100% vested and exercisable, at Spansion’s discretion.

 

   

If Spansion undergoes certain other corporate events described in the Plan where it does not survive, or does not survive as a public company, outstanding unexercised options will become 100% vested.

If You Die or Become Totally Disabled

 

   

If you have at least 15 years of Spansion service and your Spansion employment is terminated due to your death or total disability, you become immediately vested as of the employment termination date in options that would have vested in the calendar year in which the employment terminated.

 

   

There is no such accelerated vesting of options if your Spansion employment is terminated because of your death or disability and you have less than 15 years of Spansion service.

See the section “Termination of Employment” for information on length of time to exercise after employment termination.

Exercising Your Vested Stock Options

Once your options vest, they are available for you to exercise (purchase Spansion common stock at the exercise price) until they expire or terminate, whichever is earlier. Your final opportunity to exercise your vested options is the earlier of the last regular trading day of Spansion before the Expiration Date of the options, or the last regular trading day of Spansion before the options terminate in the case of an earlier termination of the options. (If you wait until the last possible day to exercise your options, please remember that a limit order — a request to sell shares at a certain dollar amount — may not take place on the same day, and you risk the possibility of your options expiring.)

To exercise vested options, you must: provide E*Trade with notice of the number of shares you wish to purchase and pay the total exercise price, and any required tax withholdings. For more information on how to exercise vested options, see <<name document and/or link>>

You may not exercise an option for a fractional share of stock.

Other Requirements to Receive Shares

You must (i) open and maintain an E*Trade brokerage account and (ii) accept your grant on the E*Trade site. You agree that Spansion may refuse to deliver shares to you if you fail to comply with your obligations under the Terms.

 


Tax Payments

You agree to be responsible for any and all required taxes that may result from your exercise of options, and you agree that Spansion may deduct from your pay funds to cover any applicable withholding taxes.

Early Termination of Your Stock Options

Your Grant Notice discloses the Expiration Date for your options. However, there are situations where your options may terminate before the Expiration Date. For example:

 

   

If your Spansion employment terminates before the Expiration Date, your unvested options terminate immediately and your vested options will terminate within a certain period of time after the employment termination date. For details on these time periods, see the Termination of Employment section, below.

 

   

If your employment becomes inactive under an approved separation agreement, unless the separation agreement provides otherwise, your unvested options terminate as of the date your employment becomes inactive.

 

   

Upon certain corporate events described in the Plan, options that have been accelerated to vest before the event, but that you have not yet exercised, may terminate at the time of the event.

Termination of Employment

 

   

All unvested options terminate immediately when your Spansion employment terminates.

 

   

The table below shows how long you have after your employment termination date to exercise vested options that have not expired.
