AMENDMENT NO. 7
TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED FOUNDRY AGREEMENT

DATED SEPTEMBER 28, 2006

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 7 (this “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Foundry Agreement entered into as of September 28, 2006, and as amended effective June 19, 2008, and as amended a second time effective December 31, 2008, and as amended a third time effective June 15, 2009, and as amended a fourth time effective May 24, 2010, and as amended a fifth time effective January 1, 2011, and as amended a sixth time effective September 1, 2010 (the “Agreement”), by and among Spansion, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Spansion Technology LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Spansion LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in their capacities as guarantors of Spansion’s obligations hereunder and under the Agreement (collectively, “Spansion U.S.”), Spansion Japan Limited, a Japanese corporation (“Spansion Japan”), and assigned by Spansion Japan to Nihon Spansion Limited (“Nihon”), effective May 24, 2010, and assigned by Nihon to Nihon Spansion Trading Limited (“PSKK”), effective December 27, 2010, and Fujitsu Limited, a Japanese corporation (“Fujitsu”), and assigned by Fujitsu to Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited, formerly named Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited, a Japanese corporation (“FSL”), effective March 21, 2008, is made and entered into as of July 11, 2012, and effective retroactively on June 30, 2012.

Whereas, PSKK and FSL wish to further amend the Agreement.

Now, therefore, it is agreed that the Agreement shall be modified as follows:

 
1.
The Agreement shall terminate at the end of the second Quarter of 2013.

 
2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.6.1 through 2.6.6 of the Agreement, Exhibit K as previously amended is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be restated as set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Exhibit K, the Subsequent Period Remedies for the third Quarter of 2012 through the second Quarter of 2013 shall remain as set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and Exhibit J of the Agreement.
 
 
 

 
 
 
3.
In addition, PSKK will pay an additional amount of [*] per Wafer shipped to PSKK.  FSL will invoice PSKK on a monthly basis for such incremental costs for those Wafers shipped and invoiced to PSKK.  PSKK will pay FSL this amount pursuant to the payment terms of the Agreement, provided that, notwithstanding Section 9 of the Agreement, any payment by PSKK under this Section will be made in USD. The additional incremental costs will not exceed [*].  If FSL does not recover this amount ([*]) by the end of June 2013 based on the number of Wafers shipped, FSL will invoice PSKK for the difference between such amount ([*]) and the amount of the additional incremental costs actually received from PSKK by the end of June 2013, and PSKK will pay FSL such difference in USD pursuant to the payment terms of the Agreement.

 
4.
PSKK will provide the final mix of its Wafer requirement for the second Quarter of 2013 to FSL by February 15, 2013 and will place a final purchase order for Wafers with FSL on or before March 15, 2013, subject to Section 7 of the Agreement.

 
5.
All terms and conditions of the Agreement not specifically modified by this Amendment shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 
6.
This Amendment shall be deemed a part of and construed in accordance with the Agreement. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts.
