AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into this 17th day of November, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Yoram Cedar (“Executive” or “you”), an individual, and SanDisk Corporation, a Delaware corporation, on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and company affiliates (collectively “SanDisk” or the “Company”).

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed at the Company for 13 years and served in various executive capacities;

WHEREAS, the Company acknowledges the leadership and technological contributions Executive has made to the Company over the years; and,

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have mutually agreed that Executive will resign from his employment at the Company effective December 31, 2011.     

NOW THEREFORE the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1.    Executive’s Relationship with the Company. Executive acknowledges that he has been and is an at-will employee of the Company and currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. The parties have mutually agreed Executive is resigning from the Company and that his employment shall terminate on December 31, 2011 (“Separation Date”). Provided Executive signs and does not revoke this Agreement, and continues to performs his duties and obligations in a responsible and professional manner, the Company agrees to continue Executive’s employment until the Separation date at his current annual base pay of $485,000, to be paid on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. You acknowledge this compensation will be subject to income tax and other legally required withholding, and will be reported by the Company as income to you on IRS Form W-2 for 2011.

2.    Consideration. In exchange for your promises in this Agreement, and in particular your covenants in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 18 of this Agreement, and provided that i) you timely sign and do not revoke this Agreement under Section 17, ii) you remain an employee until the Separation Date, and iii) no later than five (5) days after the Separation Date you timely sign and do not revoke the Further Release of Claims set forth in Appendix A of this Agreement (“Further Release”), except where expressly provided otherwise below the following shall apply:

(a) Separation Pay. The Company agrees to pay you as separation pay the gross sum of $485,000, which constitutes one (1) year base salary. This payment shall be made to you within ten (10) days of your execution of the Further Release following your Separation Date. You acknowledge this payment will be subject to income tax and other legally required withholding, and will be reported by the Company as income to you on IRS Form W-2 for 2012.

(b) 2011 Bonus Plan Participation. You retain full eligibility for participation in the Company’s 2011 bonus plan, and the Company agrees to pay you one hundred percent (100%) of your target bonus in the amount of $436,500, if and when bonuses are distributed pursuant to the plan, but in no event shall such payment be made later than March 15, 2012. You acknowledge this payment will be subject to income tax and other legally required withholding, and will be reported by the Company as income to you on IRS Form W-2 for 2012.

(c)     Equity Vesting; Acceleration; Exercise. Executive has been granted stock options and restricted stock units (“Executive’s Equity Awards”) pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan as amended (“Plan”), on the terms provided in the applicable equity grant agreements issued to Executive. You acknowledge that you are not presently entitled to any additional grants of stock options or other equity in your capacity as an employee of the Company, nor will be after the Separation Date.

The provisions of the Plan that establish a vesting schedule will be modified in part as follows with respect to Executive’s Equity Awards:

(i)    Your present unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units will continue to vest through the Separation Date, on the vesting schedule specified in each particular grant, as long as you continue to remain

employed by the Company until the Separation Date;

(ii)    Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”), upon the Separation Date the Company agrees to provide you (and will so recommend to the Compensation Committee) with fifteen (15) months of accelerated vesting of your unvested stock options and your unvested restricted stock units (“Accelerated Equity”), as long as you continue to remain employed by the Company until the Separation Date;

(iii)     Except as provided in this Section 2(c), any other unvested stock options or unvested RSUs otherwise held by you as of the Separation Date, or as of the earlier termination of employment if applicable, shall be canceled;

(iv)    The period of time you have to exercise any vested options, including Accelerated Equity, is defined in the applicable equity grant agreements, and generally is three (3) months after the termination of “Service” as defined in the Plan, which termination of Service shall be the Separation Date or the earlier termination of employment if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, the Company agrees (and will so recommend to the Compensation Committee) to extend the period of time you have to exercise by the same amount of time you are precluded from doing so as a result of the black-out period described in Section 9 below, but not beyond the original seven (7) year (or other duration, as applicable) expiration date of each option grant.

(d)    COBRA Payments. After your Separation Date, you will receive a COBRA notification statement that will explain your entitlement to purchase for a limited period of time continued health insurance coverage under the Company’s existing health care policies, at your own cost. The amount of your monthly COBRA payment will vary, depending upon the number of dependents you choose to cover. The Company shall pay your monthly COBRA payments for a total of eighteen (18) months or until you obtain comparable group health insurance coverage, whichever occurs first.

3.     Acknowledgment of Consideration. You acknowledge that the payments and benefits described in Section 2 represent amounts and benefits above and beyond those to which you would be entitled if you did not enter into this Agreement including the Further Release.

4.    Non-Solicit; No Hire. You agree and acknowledge that, in consideration of the Company’s agreement to pay the amounts and provide the benefits described in this Agreement, for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date you will not hire or solicit for employment any employee of the Company, or otherwise encourage any employee to resign from their employment at the Company.

5.    Cooperation. You agree to cooperate fully with the Company and its affiliates, including any attorney retained thereby, in connection with any pending or future litigation or investigatory matter, including but not limited to, the Harkabi, Elazar v. SanDisk Corporation case currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. You acknowledge that such cooperation may include, but not be limited to, your: (a) being available for an interview by the Company or its attorneys at mutually convenient times, (b) being available for depositions, trial preparation, trial, or other matters in connection with litigation or investigatory matters; (c) providing to the Company any documents in your possession or under your control that may relate to such litigation or investigatory matters; and (d) providing truthful sworn statements and testimony in connection with such matters. The Company agrees to reimburse all reasonable travel and incidental expenses incurred by you in performing your obligations under this Section 5.

6.    Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that you will remain bound by and comply in all respects with your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, dated as of May 18, 1998, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B (“PIIA”), on the terms set forth therein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the PIIA and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

7.    Confidential Information/Company Property. You acknowledge that all tangible information, including all files, records, summaries, bills, invoices, copies, excerpts, data, memoranda, letters, notes, written policies and procedures manuals and other information or material pertaining to your work at the Company or containing confidential information that came into your custody, possession or knowledge or were compiled prepared, developed or used by you at any time in the course of or in connection with your work at the Company, including but not limited to inventor notebooks, and all tangible property put in your custody or possession by the Company in connection with your work at the Company, is solely the

property of the Company, and you agree that upon or before the Separation Date (notwithstanding any contrary term in the PIIA) you will promptly return all such tangible information in your possession or control, as well as any other Company property or equipment, except for Company mementos of a personal nature, or as may otherwise be agreed.

8.    No Unlawful Conduct. You warrant that you have not engaged in any unlawful conduct in the course of the discharge of your duties for the Company during your employment.

9.    Trading in Company Securities; Transitional Restriction. You agree and acknowledge that, in consideration of the Company’s agreement to pay the amounts and provide the benefits described in this Agreement, you and your Related Persons as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy may not trade in Company Securities during the period beginning thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 and ending after the close of market on the second business day after the financial results of the Company’s operations for such quarter are publicly announced. Notwithstanding the expiration of the foregoing period, federal law prohibits your trading at any time you are in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company.

10.    Post-Resignation Date Indemnification. The terms of your Indemnification Agreement, dated October 23, 2003, including Section 11 thereof, and the Company’s Bylaws, consistent with Delaware law, shall govern any indemnity rights you may have regarding claims that arise from facts or circumstances that arise prior to the Separation Date.

11.    Benefit to Executive’s Estate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your death prior to December 31, 2011, the date “December 31, 2011” in each of Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement will be deemed to instead be the date of your death. If this Section 11 becomes applicable, then, for purposes of the three (3) months generally indicated in Section 2(c)(iv) of this Agreement, vested Executive’s Equity Awards, including any Accelerated Equity, may be exercised by your legal representative subsequent to your death by the later of: (a) such period provided for in the applicable Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Issuance Agreement, or (b) during 90 days after the earlier of (x) the date of notice by your legal representative to the Company of your death or (y) the date three months after the date of your death; provided that such person provides the Company with reasonable evidence of the right of such person to exercise the stock options, including any Accelerated Equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction set forth in Section 9 shall only apply if such legal representative is a Related Person.

12.    Full and General Release of the Company. In consideration for the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, you unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company, and its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, related companies, successors, predecessors, and assigns, and all of its and their officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, consultants, agents, representatives, and attorneys, past and present, and each of them (collectively referred to herein as “Releasees”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, damages and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, based on any act, omission, event, occurrence, or nonoccurrence from the beginning of time to the date of execution of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, claims that arise out of or in any way relate to your employment or separation from employment with the Company.

Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected, and said illegal or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement. Specifically, should a court or government agency conclude that a particular claim may not be released as a matter of law, it is the intention of the parties that the general release, the waiver of unknown claims and the covenant not to sue above shall otherwise remain effective to release any and all other claims.

24.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
