Seller agrees, prior to the Closing, to operate the Purchased Assets in the ordinary course of business and, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall not: (a) mortgage, pledge or allow any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the Purchased Assets; (b) except for dispositions of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, sell, license, assign or transfer any of the Purchased Assets; or (c) enter into any agreement or commitment to do any of the actions set forth in (a) or (b) above. Seller further agrees, prior to Closing, to use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to maintain the Tangible Assets in good operating condition, subject only to ordinary wear and tear, (ii) to maintain the Inventory in usable and saleable condition, and (iii) to promptly inform Purchaser of any destruction, damage to or loss of any of the Purchased Assets that would have, or would be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Seller further agrees, prior to the Closing, to transfer or otherwise make available to Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, the benefit of all warranties and similar protections applicable to the Tangible Assets, to the extent such warranties and protections may be transferred or otherwise made available to Purchaser. As soon as possible following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller will establish a manufacturing transition team, which will meet and confer at mutually agreed times and as necessary or appropriate with the goal of ensuring that the manufacturing and related operations at the JV1/JV2 Facilities can be effectively and efficiently transitioned to Purchaser’s operation and control at the Closing.

5.2 Equipment Leases. With respect to the equipment used in the JV1/JV2 Facilities up to the date of this Agreement, which equipment is leased or rented by Seller pursuant to agreements which expire more than six (6) months after the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 5.2 attached hereto, Seller shall assign such leases (the “Assigned Leases”) to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept such assignment and assume all obligations thereunder. Seller shall be responsible for obtaining any consents required for the foregoing assignments. With respect to equipment leases that expire less than six (6) months after the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 5.2 attached hereto, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extend the term of the applicable agreement through the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date, as requested by Purchaser. Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to renegotiate the terms of such agreement or

-10-

enter into new lease agreement with the lessor. To the extent Purchaser is unable to execute new leases at the Closing Date, Seller shall assign such extended leases to Purchaser (such leases also being “Assigned Leases”) and Purchaser shall accept such assignment and assume all obligations under such Assigned Leases. Seller shall be responsible for obtaining any consents required for the foregoing assignments.

5.3 Other Agreements. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign the Assigned Contracts to Purchaser. Such Assigned Contracts, together with the agreements set forth on Schedule 5.3, represent all software license agreements, equipment maintenance agreements or other agreements for products or services that are reasonably necessary for Purchaser to operate the JV1/JV2 Facilities and the Tangible Assets in substantially the same manner as operated by Seller as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing (other than with respect to rights or services provided to Purchaser by Seller (or an Affiliate of Seller) pursuant to agreements between the parties or the Ancillary Agreements).

5.4 Access.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access during normal business hours to the Purchased Assets and information reasonably related thereto and to the Transaction as Purchaser may reasonably request. While visiting in the JV1/JV2 Facilities, Purchaser shall at all times fully comply with Seller’s plant rules and regulations provided to Purchaser as well as all reasonable instructions that may be issued by Seller’s employees or personnel accompanying such employees or representatives of Purchaser. Each party shall, at its own expense, indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its employees from and against any and all direct losses or damages without limitation to any of the other party’s property or loss of personal health or life, caused by the indemnifying party’s representatives during any such visit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall perform a final due diligence review of the Purchased Assets within five (5) business days prior to the Closing, solely for the purpose of confirming (i) the condition and existence of the Purchased Assets at the time of Closing, (ii) that there has been no Material Adverse Effect and (iii) the amounts of Inventory (including work-in-process) and raw materials located at the JV1/JV2 Facilities. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and provide any of the information requested by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Seller’s business in connection with the conduct of the process contemplated herein. Seller shall receive reasonable advance notice of and shall have the right to participate in, any discussions Purchaser might have with any foreign, federal or state Governmental Authorities about Seller or the Purchased Assets.

(b) Following the Closing, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request and at Purchaser’s expense, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser copies of any books, records and/or documents that are not Purchased Assets but that are useful for Purchaser to operate the JV1/JV2 Facilities and the Tangible Assets, and to perform the Assigned Leases, in substantially the same manner as operated by Seller as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Seller be required to provide to Purchaser or its Representatives access to any privileged attorney-client communications or work product of Seller. With respect to

-11-

information covered by existing confidentiality agreements between Seller and third parties, Seller and Purchaser will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers or otherwise allow for Seller to disclose such information to Purchaser.

5.5 Approvals and Consents. The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the Transaction, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals and to effect all necessary registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction for the purpose of securing to the Parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement. Such waivers, consents and approvals that are necessary to avoid a Material Adverse Effect are listed on Schedule 5.5 attached hereto (the “Material Consents”).

5.6 Insurance. Seller shall maintain the insurance policies listed in Section 3.7 of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule in full force and effect, including the full and timely payment of all applicable premiums, through the Closing.

5.7 Inventory. Seller shall have on hand at the JV1/JV2 Facilities and, other than with respect to raw materials, transfer to Purchaser hereunder at the Closing, sufficient Inventory and raw materials to permit Purchaser to fabricate products so as to satisfy (i) that portion of Seller’s initial purchase order under the Foundry Agreement to be delivered within forty-five (45) days after the Closing and (ii) that portion of Purchaser’s then-current purchase order under the Foundry Agreement dated as of March 31, 2005 between Purchaser and Seller to be delivered within forty-five (45) days after the Closing. Schedule 5.7 attached hereto lists the vendors of the raw materials utilized at the JV1/JV2 Facilities as of the date of this Agreement and the raw materials supplied by each such vendor. The manufacturing transition team referenced in Section 5.1 above will meet periodically, but no less than monthly, to review and address any issues with respect to the foregoing Inventory, work-in-process and raw materials with the goal of ensuring that Seller complies with the covenants contained in this Section 5.7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the manufacturing transition team will discuss and determine whether, in light of the applicable lead times for ordering raw materials, any additional raw materials are required for the effective and efficient transition of manufacturing and related operations at the JV1/JV2 Facilities to Purchaser’s operation and control at the Closing.

5.8 Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party will, at the reasonable request of the other Party, and without further consideration, execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and take such other action, as the other Party may reasonably deem necessary in order to transfer, convey and assign the Purchased Assets to Purchaser and to assign the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser.

5.9 Lease Financing. Purchaser and Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in no event later than December 31, 2006, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternate lease financing in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the equipment that is currently leased pursuant to the Master Rental Agreement (Contract No. LFLEAA05), dated July 16, 2003, by and between GE Capital Leasing K.K. and Spansion Japan. (the “GE Lease”), which equipment is listed in Part B of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit C to the Master Lease Agreement, such that Purchaser shall have the right to lease such equipment for a Monthly Rental amount (as defined in the Master Lease Agreement) equal to the Japan GAAP depreciation amount. In the event that such

-12-

financing cannot be obtained as provided above, Seller shall purchase the foregoing equipment no later than December 31, 2006 and lease such equipment to Purchase under Schedule No. 1 to the Master Lease Agreement for a Monthly Rental amount (as defined therein) equal to the Japan GAAP depreciation amount.

5.10 Other Ancillary Agreements. Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to finalize forms of a Services Agreement, Sort Services Agreement and Wafer Processing Services Agreement within thirty (30) days from the date of this Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.

11.4 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed by and construed, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of Japan without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. If any Party to a dispute or controversy concerning the rights, benefits or obligations set forth in this Agreement determines that a reasonable attempt at settlement has failed, binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Schedule B attached hereto shall be the exclusive and final forum for settling any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the subject matter thereof or the interpretation hereof or any arrangements relating hereto or contemplated herein or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof.

11.5 Assignability; Third-Party Rights. This Agreement shall be binding upon Seller and its successors and permitted assigns (if any) and Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns (if any). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns (if any). Subject to Section 11.17 below, this Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will be deemed to confer upon any other Person, any rights or remedies under, or by reason of, this Agreement.

11.6 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The Parties agree that, in the event of breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of the non-breaching

-21-

Party and such Party’s business will be irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the breaching Party in the event of any breach or threatened breach of such provisions and to enforce specifically this Agreement, in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to a Party under this Agreement or under applicable law.

11.7 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any right or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, right or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party.

11.8 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented other than by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of Purchaser and Seller, respectively.

11.9 Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.10 Interpretation. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed, as the context indicates, to be followed by the words “but (is/are) not limited to.” Wherever in this Agreement words indicating the plural number appear, such words will be considered as words indicating the singular number and vice versa where the context indicates the propriety of such use.

11.11 Preparation of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) Purchaser and Seller jointly and equally participated in the drafting of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby, (b) both Purchaser and Seller have been adequately represented and advised by legal counsel with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction and (c) no presumption shall be made that any provision of this Agreement shall be construed against either Party by reason of such role in the drafting of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties hereto. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
