(in strips, such that for each share of Class L Common to be issued to HEA,
HEA shall be issued nine (9) shares of Class A Common) (the "Common Stock
Consideration") so that immediately following the Effective Time (before
taking into account any shares of common stock issued or issuable to
employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to financing sources), the
stockholders of Merger Sub shall own ninety percent (90%) and HEA shall own
ten percent (10%) of the shares of Class L Common and Class A Common then
issued and outstanding (it being agreed and understood that for purposes of
this Section 2.3(a)(i)(x), any stockholder who elects to take Class B
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company in lieu of Class A
Common shall be deemed to be a holder of Class A Common); and
(y) to HEA or HEI, as HEA shall direct by written notice to Merger
Sub not less than two Business Days prior to the Closing: Company Senior
Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation value of thirty million
dollars ($30,000,000) (the "Preferred Stock Consideration");
(ii) the Company shall issue (A) to HEA a certificate or
certificates (as HEA shall direct) representing a number of shares of Class L
Common and Class A Common equal to the Common Stock Consideration and a
certificate or certificates (as HEA shall direct) representing a number of
shares of Company Senior Preferred Stock equal to the Preferred Stock
Consideration, and (B) to the stockholders of Merger Sub a certificate or
certificates representing
20
the New Shares; provided, that pending the issuance and delivery of such
certificates, the certificates that formerly represented the shares of Merger
Sub capital stock held by the stockholders of Merger Sub shall evidence and
represent the New Shares; the certificates that formerly represented the Company
capital stock held by HEA shall evidence and represent the right to receive the
Common Stock Consideration and the Preferred Stock Consideration; and each such
certificate for shares of Merger Sub capital stock and Company capital stock
shall entitle the holder thereof to all of the rights of a holder of the
applicable number of shares of Class L Common, Class A Common or Company Senior
Preferred Stock, as the case may be;
(iii) the shares of Company capital stock surrendered by HEA and the
shares of Merger Sub capital stock surrendered by the stockholders of Merger Sub
shall be canceled and retired; and
(iv) each Company Option which is outstanding and unvested
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any payment
or other consideration therefor, and each Company Option which is outstanding
and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the
right to receive from the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time (A)
the cash payment specified by the Management Incentive Agreement dated as of
August 1, 1998 and extended as of March 5, 1999 by and between ChipPAC, Inc.,
and Dennis McKenna (in the case of Company Options covered thereby), or (B) the
cash payment specified by the Management Incentive Agreement dated as of August
1, 1998 and extended as of March 5, 1999 by and between ChipPAC, Inc. and Tony
Lin (in the case of Company Options covered thereby), or (C) the cash payment
specified by the ChipPAC, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (in the case of Company
Options covered thereby) or (D) a cash payment equal to the product of (I) the
number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such vested Company Option is
exercisable and (II) the difference between the Per Share Amount and the
exercise price of such vested Company Option (in the case of any other vested
Company Options).
(b) Further Effects of Merger. At the Effective Time, (i) the
separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with
and into the Company with the Company as the Surviving Corporation; (ii) the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be
amended and restated in the form set forth in Exhibit C and Exhibit D,
respectively; and (iii) the Merger shall have the further effects set forth in
the CGCL and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from
and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private
nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each
of the constituent corporations in the Merger; and all rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of each of the constituent corporations, and all property,
real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to either of the constituent
corporations on whatever account, as well as for stock subscriptions and all
other things in action or belonging to each of the constituent corporations,
shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all property, rights,

thereafter as effectually the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were
of the constituent corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed
or otherwise, in either of the constituent corporations, shall not revert or be
in any
21
way impaired; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of
either of the constituent corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all
debts, liabilities and duties of the constituent corporations shall thereafter
attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same
extent as if such debts and liabilities had been incurred by it.
(c) Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus one director designated by HEA in
accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, shall be the initial directors and
officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office in accordance with
the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each
case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed. The
directors and officers of the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai
immediately prior to the Effective Time and each person who is or at any time
prior to the Closing Date has been an officer or director of the Company,
ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai shall be entitled to indemnification on the
terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 2.

Effective Time, the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai (as the case may
be) shall pay all additional compensation, bonuses and other amounts (if any)
required to be paid, as a result, in whole or in part, of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Recapitalization
Transactions, to employees of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai
pursuant to agreements and arrangements adopted prior to the Effective Time and
all Taxes (if any) imposed on the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai
with respect to such additional compensation, bonuses and other amounts,

the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai any obligation to pay the Tax
liability of any recipient of such additional compensation, bonuses or other
amounts) (the "Change-In-Control Payments"). HEA (subject to proportionate
reimbursement to HEA by HEI) shall reimburse the Company after the closing for
all Change-In-Control Payments (if any) paid by the Company, ChipPAC Korea or
ChipPAC Shanghai after the Closing. Each contract pursuant to which any Change-
In-Control Payments are or may become due is listed in Section 3.11 (a) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule.
Section 2.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. For purposes of this Section 2.4:
(x) "Working Capital" means an amount equal to the difference (whether positive
or negative) between (i) the combined tangible current assets of the Company,
ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai (which for purposes of this Agreement shall
consist of cash and marketable securities (but not foreign exchange contracts),
accounts receivable, inventory and other current assets) and (ii) the combined
current liabilities of the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai (which
for purposes of this Agreement shall consist of trade accounts payable, accrued
personnel
22
expenses and other accrued expenses); (y) "Peg Amount" means: (i) if the Cash
Consideration has been reduced pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) because Estimated
Working Capital is less than Required Working Capital, Estimated Closing Working
Capital, and (ii) if the Cash Consideration has been increased pursuant to
Section 2.4(b)(ii), the sum of Required Working Capital plus the amount by which
the Cash Consideration has been increased pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii); and
(z) no lease termination charge or payments required to take title to property
shall be deemed to be capital expenditures.
(a) Closing Financial Statements.
(i) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, HEI
and HEA shall prepare and deliver to Merger Sub (A) an unaudited estimated
combined balance sheet of the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai as of
the close of business on the Closing Date but without giving effect to any of
the Recapitalization Transactions and without accruing or reflecting the payment
of the fees and expenses of Merger Sub, Bain Capital, Inc., MSX Holdings LLC,
Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd. or any of their Affiliates contemplated by Section
12.3 (the "Estimated Closing Balance Sheet"), which shall reflect reasonable
good faith estimates of the amount of Working Capital and cash (net of book
overdrafts) that will be on the balance sheets of the Company, ChipPAC Korea and
ChipPAC Shanghai as of the close of business on the Closing Date (but without
giving effect to any of the Recapitalization Transactions) (the "Estimated
Closing Working Capital" and the "Excess Cash", respectively); (B) an unaudited
statement of estimated combined research and development expenditures made by
the Company ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai for the period beginning January
1, 1999 and ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date (but without
giving effect to any of the Recapitalization Transactions) (the "Estimated Pre-
Closing R&D Expenditures"); and (C) an unaudited statement of estimated combined
capital expenditures made by the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai for
the period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending as of the close of business on
the Closing Date (but without giving effect to any of the Recapitalization
Transactions) (the "Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditures"); provided, that
if HEI and HEA, on the one hand, and Merger Sub, on the other hand, cannot agree
upon the amounts to be included in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet
(including the amount of Estimated Closing Working Capital or Excess Cash), the
statement of Estimated Pre-Closing R&D Expenditures, or the statement of
Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditures, the amounts in dispute shall be
based upon the balances reflected in the books and records of the Company,
ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai as of calendar month end immediately
preceding the Closing Date. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the
statements of Estimated Pre-Closing R&D Expenditures and Estimated Pre-Closing
Capital Expenditures shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in a manner
consistent with the Company's accounting policies used in the preparation of the
Balance Sheet.
(ii) As soon as practicable but in no event later than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to HEI and
HEA (A) an audited combined balance sheet of the Company, ChipPAC Korea and
ChipPAC Shanghai as of the close of business on the Closing Date, but without
giving effect to any of the Recapitalization Transactions (the "Closing Balance
Sheet"), which Closing Balance Sheet shall reflect actual
23
Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Closing
Working Capital"); (B) an audited statement of combined research and development
expenditures made by the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai for the
period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending as of the close of business on the
Closing Date (the "Actual R&D Expenditures"), and (C) an audited statement of
combined capital expenditures made by the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC
Shanghai for the period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending as of the close of
business on the Closing Date (the "Actual Capital Expenditures"). The Closing
Balance Sheet and the statements of Actual R&D Expenditures and Actual Capital
Expenditures are collectively referred to as the "Closing Financial Statements".
The Closing Financial Statements shall be audited by a PriceWaterhouseCoopers
engagement team selected by the Company (or another firm of independent public
accountants mutually acceptable to the Company, HEI and HEA) and shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the Company's
accounting policies used in the preparation of the Balance Sheet and the related
statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the six months
ending on the Financial Statement Date, subject to the provisions of Section
2.4(e) and without giving effect to any of the Recapitalization Transactions or
any fees and expenses of Merger Sub, Bain Capital Inc., Citicorp Venture Capital
Ltd. or their Affiliates paid or reimbursed by the Company.
(b) Adjustments at the Closing. At the Closing, (i) if Estimated
Closing Working Capital is less than thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) (the
"Required Working Capital"), or if Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditures
are less than the prorated budgeted amounts (prorated on a daily basis for the
period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending on the Closing Date) for capital
expenditures set forth in the capital budget annexed hereto as Exhibit E (the
"Capital Budget"), or if Estimated Pre-Closing R&D Expenditures are less than
the prorated budgeted amounts (prorated on a daily basis for the period
beginning January 1, 1999 and ending on the Closing Date) for research and
development expenditures set forth in the quarterly research and development
budgets annexed hereto as Exhibit F (the "R&D Budgets"), then the Cash
Consideration payable at the Closing shall be reduced by the total amount of
such shortfall, (ii) if Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than
Required Working Capital, then the Cash Consideration payable at Closing shall
be increased by the amount of such excess (not to exceed the amount of Excess
Cash) and (iii) if Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditures exceed the
prorated budgeted amounts for capital expenditures set forth in the Capital
Budget, or if Estimated Pre-Closing R&D Expenditures exceed the prorated
budgeted amounts for research and development expenditures set forth in the R&D
Budgets, and if Merger Sub has consented in writing to the expenditures
resulting in such excess, then the Cash Consideration payable at the Closing
shall be increased by the total amount of such excess.
(c) Post-Closing Adjustment. Promptly following the determination of
the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital, the Cash
Consideration shall be adjusted as follows and payment, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds shall be made by the Company or by HEI and HEA, as
the case may be, not later than five (5) Business Days
following such determination:
24
(i) if Closing Working Capital is less than the Peg Amount, or
if Actual Capital Expenditures are less than the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital
Expenditures, or if Actual R&D Expenditures are less than the Estimated Pre-
Closing R&D Expenditures, then the Cash Consideration shall be reduced, and HEI
shall pay to the Company, the aggregate amount of such shortfall, and
(ii) if Closing Working Capital is greater than the Peg Amount,
or if Actual Capital Expenditures are greater than the Estimated Pre-Closing
Capital Expenditures (and if Merger Sub has consented in writing to the
expenditures resulting in such excess), or if Actual R&D Expenditures are
greater than the Estimated Pre-Closing R&D Expenditures (and if Merger Sub has
consented in writing to the expenditures resulting in such excess), then the
Cash Consideration shall be increased, and the Company shall cause ChipPAC BVI
or ChipPAC Korea to pay to HEI the amount of such excess.
(iii) In each case, the payments provided by this Section 2.4(c)
shall include interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
(d) Resolution of Disputes. The Closing Financial Statements
(including the amount of Closing Working Capital, the amount of Actual R&D
Expenditures and the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures) shall become final
and binding on HEI, HEA and the Company unless HEI and HEA give written notice
of their disagreement (a "Notice of Disagreement") to the Company within forty-
five (45) days following receipt by HEI and HEA of the Closing Financial
Statements. Any such Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail
the nature of any disagreement so asserted. The Company shall have twenty-five
(25) days following its receipt of the Notice of Disagreement to review the
Notice of Disagreement and to give notice of any disagreement therewith (the
"Counter-Notice of Disagreement") to HEI and HEA. If the Company does not give a
Counter-Notice of Disagreement within such period, the Closing Financial
Statements (including the amount of Closing Working Capital, Actual R&D
Expenditures and Actual Capital Expenditures) shall be adjusted as set forth in
the Notice of Disagreement and, as so adjusted, shall be final and binding upon
all parties. If the Company gives timely Counter-Notice of Disagreement, HEI,
HEA and the Company shall attempt in good faith to resolve their disagreements.
If HEI, HEA and the Company are unable to resolve all of their disagreements
with respect to the Closing Financial Statements or the amount of Closing
Working Capital or the amount of Actual R&D Expenditures or the amount of Actual
Capital Expenditures within twenty (20) days following the Company's delivery to
HEI and HEA of a Counter-Notice of Disagreement, they shall refer their
remaining differences to the U.S. national office of an internationally
recognized firm of independent accountants as to which HEI, HEA and the Company
mutually agree (the "CPA Firm"), which shall, acting as experts and not as
arbitrators, determine, and only with respect to the remaining differences so
submitted, whether, and to what extent, if any, the Closing Financial Statements
or the amount of Closing Working Capital, Actual R&D Expenditures or Actual
Capital Expenditures requires adjustment. HEI, HEA and the Company shall direct
the CPA Firm to use its best efforts to render its determination within forty-
five (45) days after the submission of any such dispute to the CPA Firm. The CPA
Firm's determination of the Closing Financial Statements (including the amount
25
of Closing Working Capital, Actual R&D Expenditures and Actual Capital
Expenditures) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company, HEI and HEA. The
fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the
Company and fifty percent (50%) by HEI and HEA.
(e) No Double-Counting. In calculating the adjustments provided by
this Section 2.4, it is the intention of the parties to avoid double payment,
double-crediting or other double-counting of items (including Taxes and other
items covered by the indemnification provisions of Article X or Article XI)
which would result in an inequitable and unintended benefit to one party or
parties to the detriment of the other party or parties, and no adjustment
pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be made for any loss contingencies for which
the Company has already recovered indemnification pursuant to Article X or
Article XI.
(f) Indebtedness. In the event of an error in the calculation of any
Indebtedness of HEI, the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai required to
be repaid at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2, any underpayment
or overpayment shall be for the account of HEI and HEA and shall be treated as
an adjustment to the Cash Consideration when ultimately closed out, and in the
event of any dispute shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedure of
Section 2.4(d).
(g) Foreign Exchange Contracts. HEI and HEA shall cause the Company,
ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai to settle and close all foreign exchange
contracts to which the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai is a party,
effective prior to the Closing. Any gains or losses with respect to such foreign
exchange contracts that remain unsettled shall be for the account of HEI and HEA
and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration when ultimately
closed out, and in the event of any dispute shall be subject to the dispute
resolution procedure of Section 2.4(d).
(h) Physical Inventory. The Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC
Shanghai shall take and complete a 100% physical inventory as soon as
practicable following the Closing Date. HEI, HEA and Merger Sub (or their
respective representatives), shall be entitled to observe such physical
inventory.
Section 2.5 Hyundai Earn-Out. HEI will be eligible to receive from the
Company additional consideration (the "HEI Earn-Out") during the four (4) year
period commencing January 1, 1999 (the "Earn-Out Period"), payable annually, if
earned (the "Earn-Out Payment"), and calculated in the manner set forth below;
provided, however, that such HEI Earn-Out shall not exceed the aggregate amount
of thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) (the "Earn-Out Maximum").
(a) The Earn-Out Payment shall be calculated as the product of (i)
33.3% (the "Earn-Out Ratio") and (ii) the amount by which earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Company and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and before deduction or accrual of fees
paid or payable to Bain Capital, Inc., MSX Holdings LLC and their respective
Affiliates pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, excluding all extraordinary
gains or losses as determined by the Company's auditors ("EBITDA") during the
specified fiscal year of the Earn-
26
Out Period exceeds the annual EBITDA Thresholds described below for such
specified fiscal year (such difference, hereinafter referred to as the "Earn-Out
Spread".)
(b) The Earn-Out Spread in any one year shall be calculated by
deducting from actual EBITDA for a fiscal year period (such actual EBITDA, as
determined by the Company's independent auditors on a basis consistent with
Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Regulation S-X"),
the EBITDA Thresholds set forth below for each respective fiscal year. If HEI or
HEA or the Company recovers any amount by way of indemnification pursuant to
Article X hereof, such amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining
EBITDA for such fiscal year.
Fiscal Year EBITDA Threshold
- ----------- ----------------
1999....... $116.5 million
2000....... $171.3 million
2001....... $198.5 million
2002....... $231.8 million
To the extent that the calculated Earn-Out Spread is negative, it shall be
deemed to be zero and HEI shall not at any time be entitled to the Earn-Out
Payment for such fiscal year.
(c) The amount of the Earn-Out Payment shall be calculated by the
independent auditors of the Company annually, and shall be notified to HEI
within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of each fiscal year. Except as
provided in the following sentence, the Earn-Out Payment shall be made by the
Company to HEI in cash in immediately available funds within ten (10) days of
the notification by the auditors. If, notwithstanding the exercise of the
Company's good faith commercially reasonable best efforts to secure less
restrictive terms or a waiver of the applicable restrictions, terms required by
creditors in credit agreements or indentures with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries have the effect of prohibiting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in any fiscal year from making the Earn-Out Payment (either in
whole or in part) in cash, the Company shall (i) so notify HEI and shall furnish
copies of such agreements and indentures and a detailed explanation of the
effect thereof on the Company's ability to pay the Earn-Out Payment in cash, and
(ii) make the Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year in cash up to the maximum
extent permitted by such agreements and indentures and, for all amounts in
excess of such maximum, by issuing to HEI shares of Company Senior Preferred
Stock with an aggregate liquidation value equal to the balance of the Earn-Out
Payment. If the Earn-Out Payment is made in whole or in part in shares of
Company Senior Preferred Stock, then the Company shall notify HEI promptly after
it becomes able to make such payment, either in whole or in part, in cash and
shall forthwith redeem such shares of Company Senior Preferred Stock, for cash,
in the full amount of the liquidation value of such shares together with accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon. No Non-Liquidating Distribution (as defined in the
Articles of Incorporation), shall be declared or paid to the holders of the
Company's Common Stock or any class thereof (i) if such Non-Liquidating
Distribution would impair in any manner the ability of
27
the Company to pay any portion of the Earn-Out Payment in cash and (ii) until
HEI's entitlement to an Earn-Out Payment for the preceding fiscal given year has
been calculated pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) and the full amount of the Earn-
Out Payment (if any) earned for such preceding fiscal year has been paid in cash
in full. Subject to the foregoing, and subject to the restrictions set forth in
the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Non-Liquidating Distributions may be
made to holders of the Company's common stock after HEI's entitlement to an
Earn-Out Payment for the preceding fiscal year has been calculated pursuant to
this Section 2.5(c) and either no Earn-Out Payment is due or the full amount of
all Earn-Out Payments due for all prior periods has been paid in cash.
(d) During the Earn-Out Period, the Company's and its Subsidiaries'
financial records shall be maintained in accordance with GAAP (it being agreed
that to the extent that any change in GAAP from and after the date hereof
requires the Company to modify its accounting policies to conform with GAAP and
such change in GAAP results in an increase or decrease in actual EBITDA, such
change in GAAP will be ignored for purposes of computing the HEI Earn-Out).
During the Earn-Out Period, the Company shall provide to HEI all financial
statements to be delivered to HEI pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.
(e) The Company shall allow an auditing firm of international standing
selected by HEI to review appropriate records of the Company in order to verify
the accuracy of the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment hereunder. Any such
review shall be conducted during normal business hours and shall be commenced
within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of written request by HEI
therefor (which request shall be made, if at all, no later than sixty (60) days
after receipt by HEI of the calculation of the Earn Out Payment for 1999, 2000
and 2001 and no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the calculation of
the final Earn-Out Payment, pursuant to Section 2.5(c)), it being agreed that
after the expiration of any such period, no "look-back" to the calculation of
any prior year's Earn-Out Payments shall be allowed unless the financial
statements for such period are restated. The cost of such review shall be borne
by HEI unless the parties agree (or the decision of the independent accountant
referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph establishes) that the Company
has underpaid the Earn-Out Payment by the greater of ten percent (10%) or two
hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), in which case such costs shall be
born by the Company. No such review shall be conducted more often than once per
year. Any disagreement by the Company with the calculation of the Earn-Out
Payment based on such review shall be referred to an internationally recognized
firm of independent accountants selected by reasonable mutual agreement of HEI
and the Company (which shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and
disbursements of such firm), which firm shall, acting as experts and not as
arbitrators, determine, and only with respect to the remaining differences so
submitted, whether and to what extent the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment
should be adjusted.
(f) If (x) the Company sells, leases, licenses or otherwise disposes
of a majority of its assets (on a consolidated basis), or holders of the
Company's capital stock sell or transfer to any third party (whether by sale of
stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise) shares of the Company's capital stock
and, as a result of such sale of transfer, the holders of Company capital stock
possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority
of
28
the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to such sale or transfer
cease to own Company capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary
circumstances) to elect a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, and (y)
the Earn-Out Payment for each of the two years immediately preceding such
transaction has been earned, and based on the Company's results of operations
as of the date of such transaction, a pro rata portion of the EBITDA Threshold
has been exceeded, then the amount of the remaining Earn-Out Maximum which has
not theretofore been paid to HEI as of such date shall, upon closing of such
transaction, be paid to HEI in full. If the Company acquires another entity or
entities, or if the Company acquires or discontinues or disposes of or sells any
line or lines of business or assets, in each case (i) in exchange for aggregate
consideration with a value of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) or more or
(ii) with an aggregate value in excess of ten percent (10%) of the consolidated
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (but not less fifty million dollars
($50,000,000)) (determined based on fair value as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith), or if the Company otherwise takes any
material action that could reasonably be expected to affect the amount, timing
or ability of the Company to pay the Earn-Out Payment, then in each case the
Company and HEI shall in good faith determine the pro forma effect of such
transaction on the results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis, and negotiate in good faith mutually agreeable adjustments
in the calculation of the EBITDA Thresholds to reflect such pro forma economic
effect. Should the parties fail to agree on the pro forma effect of such
transaction, or on the resulting changes to the EBITDA Threshold, the parties
shall refer their disagreement to the CPA Firm, which shall determine the pro
forma effect of such transaction and the resulting adjustments to EBITDA
Threshold.

contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, and except as contemplated
by the Ancillary Agreements and as otherwise contemplated herein, Merger Sub,
the Company, ChipPAC Korea, ChipPAC Shanghai and their Affiliates shall refrain
after the Closing from using the Hyundai name, any other name of HEI,
50
HEA or their Affiliates (other than the ChipPAC name), any confusingly similar
name, and any other trademarks, service marks or trade names of HEI, HEA or
their Affiliates, without the prior written consent of HEI and HEA. The Company,
ChipPAC Korea and/or ChipPAC Shanghai may have after the Closing a quantity of
work-in-process, preprinted stationery, invoices, receipts, forms, packaging
materials and other supplies in inventory which bear the Hyundai name. Except as
limited or prohibited by applicable law (as to which no representation or
warranty is made by HEI or HEA or any of their Affiliates), HEI and HEA hereby
grant, and shall cause their Affiliates to grant, to the Company, ChipPAC Korea
and ChipPAC Shanghai a paid-up license, to remain in effect until the exhaustion
of such inventory and supplies in the ordinary course of business (up to a
maximum of one hundred eighty (180) days), to use any trademarks, trade names,
trade dress, copyright or other intellectual property rights of HEI, HEA or
their Affiliates necessary for such use of such inventory or supplies. The
Company, on behalf of itself and ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai, agrees to
exhaust such inventory and supplies in the ordinary course of business as soon
as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, and in any event within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing; provided, however, that should the
Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai be required to requalify with any of
its customers as a result of such change of name, Merger Sub and, following the
Closing, the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai shall use their
commercially reasonable best efforts to requalify with any such customers as
promptly as practicable and, subject to the continued exercise of such efforts,
HEI and HEA shall extend, and cause their Subsidiaries to extend, such license
to the extent necessary until the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai has
obtained such requalification.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any remedy at law
for any breach of the provisions of this Section 7.5 would be inadequate, and
the Company hereby consents (and shall cause ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai
to consent) to the granting by any court of an injunction or other equitable
relief, without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved, in order
that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively
restrained.
Section 7.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Except with respect
to any matter which is the subject of HEI's and HEA's indemnification pursuant
to Section 10.2, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date: (a) the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, each person who is or at any time prior to the Closing Date has been an
officer or director of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai from and
against all Losses and Liabilities incurred by such person by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer or agent of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or
ChipPAC Shanghai, except to the extent any such Loss or Liability is caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such person; and (b) the
Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, take any action with the purpose or effect of
amending, circumventing or rendering the Company unable (whether legally,
financially or otherwise) to perform and satisfy its obligations hereunder or
under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, by-laws or other
comparable corporate charter documents of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC
Shanghai, or any agreement between the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC
Shanghai and any of their respective directors, officers or
51
employees, that provides for indemnification of any director, officer or
employee (including an amendment effected through a merger, consolidation, sale
of all or substantially all the assets, liquidation or dissolution of any such
corporation), if the effect of such amendment would be to have an adverse effect
on any right provided thereby to any person who shall have served as a director
or officer of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai prior to the
Closing Date in respect of actions taken in such capacity on or prior to the
Closing Date, unless such person would immediately thereafter be entitled to
indemnification by the Company comparable to that provided by the affected
provision prior to any such amendment.
Section 7.7 Grant of Sublicenses. In the event HEI, HEA or any of their
controlled Affiliates obtains a license or comparable right, including but not
limited to any cross-licensing arrangement that HEI, HEA or any of their
controlled Affiliates may enter into with Texas Instruments and/or Hitachi or
any covenant not to sue granted by Texas Instruments and/or Hitachi
(collectively, a "License") from Texas Instruments and/or Hitachi in order to
resolve infringement charges made against them, HEI, HEA and/or their controlled
Affiliates shall seek in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain the right from Texas Instruments or Hitachi, as applicable, to grant to
ChipPAC BVI and its Affiliates a sublicense under any such License and shall
grant such sublicense ChipPAC BVI and its Affiliates on the same terms and
conditions as the License, provided, however, that any such sublicense shall
apply only to those patent, utility, design and computer program rights licensed
from Texas Instruments or Hitachi that are relevant to business of the Company,
ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
the License requires payment by HEI, HEA or their controlled Affiliates to Texas
Instruments and/or Hitachi, the payment obligation under the sublicense shall be
prorated in a commercially reasonable manner as agreed to between ChipPAC BVI
(on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and HEI, HEA or their Affiliates, as
applicable. Nothing in this Section 7.7 shall require HEI, HEA or any of their
Affiliates to pay or agree to pay for the right to grant such a sublicense or
prevent HEI, HEA or any of their Affiliates from entering into an agreement or
arrangement with Texas Instruments and/or Hitachi that does not provide for a
right to grant such a sublicense; provided, however, that HEI or HEA, as
applicable, shall promptly notify ChipPAC BVI of any payment required by Texas
Instruments and/or Hitachi for the right to grant such a sublicense, and ChipPAC
BVI shall have the option to pay such amount in return for receiving such
sublicense.

reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds to which
they may be entitled).
(d) The amount of any recovery to which HEI and HEA may be entitled
pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be net of (i.e., after deducting) any national,
federal, state, provincial and local income tax benefits and insurance proceeds
inuring to such person as a result of the set of facts which entitle HEI and HEA
to recover from the Company pursuant to Section 10.4.
(e) The Company shall not be liable under the indemnification
provisions of Section 10.4 to the extent that any Loss or Liability results from
an indemnified party's bad faith, or willful or intentional tortious misconduct.
Section 10.6 Defense of Third Party Claims.
(a) The indemnified party seeking indemnification under this
Agreement shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of the assertion of any
claim, or the commencement of any Action or Proceeding by any Third Party, in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall give the
indemnifying party such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying
party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent that the
indemnifying party has suffered actual prejudice by such failure). The
indemnifying party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by
written notice to (which shall contain the unconditional undertaking by the
indemnifying party to bear all Liabilities, obligations and Losses with respect
to such Third Party Claim) the indemnified party within thirty (30) days of
receipt of notice from the indemnified party of the commencement of or
assertion of any claim, Action or Proceeding by a Third Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a "Third-Party Claim" to assume the
defense at its sole expense such Third-Party Claim that (i) involves (and
continues to involve) solely money damages or (ii) involves (and continues to
involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the
indemnified party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are
the primary claims asserted by the Third Party and the claims for equitable
relief are incidental to the claims for money damages, and where the indemnified
party reasonably determines (and continues to reasonably determine) that defense
of the claim by the indemnifying party will not have a material adverse effect
on the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense
of any such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall, in addition to any
other amounts due under this Article X, indemnify the indemnified party for all
actual expenses of the defense of such Third-Party Claim (including court costs,
reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts and other reasonable
expenses of litigation), including with respect to any Third Party Claim which,
if the facts alleged therein were proven to be true, would otherwise constitute
an indemnifiable claim.
61
(b) The indemnifying party or the indemnified party, as the case may
be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own
expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending
pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) The indemnifying party, if it has assumed the defense of any such
Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Agreement, shall not, without the indemnified
party's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), enter into any
compromise or settlement, it being agreed that no such compromise or settlement
may be entered into that (i) results in any liability to the indemnified party,
(ii) commits the indemnified party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or
(iii) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the
indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified
party's prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement where the
amount of such compromise or settlement would cause the applicable cap on the
indemnifying party's liability, as provided herein, to be exceeded. The
indemnified party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third-
Party Claim, with the consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, on such terms and conditions as it deems
reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves equitable
or other nonmonetary relief against the indemnified party, and shall have the
right to settle, at the indemnifying party's sole expense, any Third-Party Claim
involving money damages for which the indemnifying party has not assumed the
defense pursuant to this Section 10.6 with the written consent of the
indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel at the indemnifying party's expense and to control its
own defense of any such asserted liability if (i) there are or may be legal
defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party or (ii) in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such indemnified party, conflict or potential
conflict exists between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party that
would make such separate representation advisable.
Section 10.7 Procedure and Dispute Resolution.
(a) If an indemnified party shall have a claim of indemnification
pursuant to this Article X (an "Indemnity Claim"), it shall promptly give
written notice thereof (the "Claim Notice" to the indemnifying party or parties,
including therein a brief description of the facts upon which such claim is
based and the amount thereof, to the extent that it can be ascertained,
provided, however, that failure to provide such prompt notice shall not affect
any rights or remedies of the indemnified party except to the extent of any
actual prejudice caused thereby.
(b) In the event that the indemnifying party disputes the validity or
amount of any Indemnity Claim, prior to taking any other action, the matter
shall be referred to responsible executives of the affected parties for
consideration and resolution. If the parties have not otherwise resolved the
dispute, they shall meet in person in a mutually agreeable location within
thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Claim Notice and exercise their best
efforts to settle the matter amicably.
62
(c) If any such dispute is not settled within thirty (30) days from
the delivery of the Claim Notice, such dispute shall, at the demand of either
party, be referred to and decided by arbitration in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.8.
Section 10.8 Arbitration.
(a) Within thirty (30) days after notice of a dispute or claim is
given by any party, appropriate senior executives of the parties shall meet and
make a good faith attempt to negotiate an amicable resolution of such dispute or
claim before initiating arbitration proceedings. Nothing herein, however, shall
prohibit either party from initiating arbitration proceedings during such 30-day
period if such party would be substantially prejudiced by delay.
(b) Any dispute or claim arising under this Article X shall be
finally settled by binding arbitration conducted in the English language in San
Francisco, California, under the International Chamber of Commerce arbitration
rules, by three arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator; the third
arbitrator, who shall be the chair of the arbitration tribunal, shall be
appointed by the other two arbitrators.
(c) The arbitrators shall have the power to decide all questions of
arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have the power to order pre-hearing
discovery of documents, witness lists, and a limited number of discovery
depositions, not to exceed three per side. At the request to either party, the
arbitrators shall enter an appropriate protective order to maintain the
confidentiality of information produced or exchanged in the course of the
arbitration proceedings. The arbitrators shall be instructed that time is of the
essence in resolving all arbitration matters and, to the extent a schedule
cannot be mutually agreed to by the parties, directed to resolve such
arbitration within sixty (60) days after the initiation thereof.
(d) The parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or
conservatory relief, as necessary, without breach of this arbitration agreement
and without any abridgment of the powers of the arbitrators. The arbitrators
shall also have the power to grant temporary or permanent injunctive or other
equitable relief, including any interim or conservatory relief, as necessary.
(e) The arbitrators may award to the prevailing party, if any, as
determined by the arbitrators, its costs and fees incurred in connection with
any arbitration or related judicial proceeding hereunder. Cost and fees awarded
may include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert and other
witness fees, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, such expenses as copying, telephone, facsimile, postage, and courier
fees). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.
(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.8(d), the parties agree
not to submit a dispute subject to this Section 10.8 to any federal, national,
state, provincial, local or other court except as may be necessary to enforce
the arbitration procedures of this Section 10.8 or to enforce the award of the
arbitrator.
63
Section 10.9 Adjustment to Cash Consideration. Subject to Section 10.10,
amounts paid in respect of the parties' indemnification obligations shall be
paid in cash and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration.
Section 10.10 Set-off. To the extent that (x) any Purchaser Party, on the
one hand, or HEI, HEA or any of their controlled Affiliates, on the other hand.
is obligated to pay or is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to this
Article X, and (y) any dispute concerning the validity or amount of such
indemnification has been resolved pursuant to Section 10.7 or has been finally
determined pursuant to Section 10.8, or the time for disputing the validity or
amount of such indemnification has expired, then: (a) the indemnifying party may
set off the amount of such indemnification against any amounts then due and
owing and unpaid, within the time period allowed for payment (to the extent
theretofore admitted in writing or established by contract, finally adjudicated
by court judgment or finally determined by arbitral award) to such indemnifying
party by the indemnified party and (b) the indemnified party may set off the
amount of such indemnification against any amounts then due and owing and unpaid
within the time period allowed for payment (to the extent so admitted, so
adjudicated or so determined) to such indemnified party by such indemnifying
party. In the case of any amounts set off against HEI or HEA, such amounts shall
be set off in the following order: (i) first, against any amount then due and
owing in cash, (ii) second, against the HEI Earn-Out, (iii) third, against any
accrued and unpaid dividends or redemption payments with respect to the Company

calculation adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the
Closing as to the amounts due pursuant to the agreements and plan described in
Section 2.3(a)(iv); (ii) the interpretation of such agreements and plan adopted
by the Board of
71

by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Closing as to the amounts

legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in economic and legal effect
to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
Section 12.12 Governing Law. Except with respect to the amendments set
forth in Section 12.18 (which shall be governed by the law governing the

72
performed entirely in such state, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws
principles thereof, and each of the parties hereto submits to jurisdiction in
any state or federal court located in the State of California and waives any
claim of improper jurisdiction or lack of venue in connection with any claim or
controversy which may be brought in connection with this Agreement.
Section 12.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 12.14 Construction. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
the drafting of this Agreement has been a collaborative effort and that no party
shall be deemed to be the sole or primary drafter. Any rule or provision of law
which provides that a contract or agreement is to be construed against the
author of the contract or agreement shall not apply to this Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements or the documents attached hereto as exhibits or schedules
hereto or thereto.
Section 12.15 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges
and agrees that the other parties hereto would be damaged irreparably in the
event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the
parties hereto agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any
action instituted in any court in the United States or in any state having
jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to
which such party may be entitled pursuant hereto.
Section 12.16 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. Each of HEI and HEA
agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, that:
(a) For a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date, neither
HEI, HEA nor any of their controlled Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly,
either for itself or for any other person, participate in providing products or
services in the merchant semiconductor packaging or test businesses to any
person or entity anywhere in the world, it being understood and agreed that
nothing in this Section 12.16 shall prohibit HEI, HEA or any of their controlled
Affiliates from performing packaging or test services for Hyundai fabricated
product for Hyundai semiconductor units. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "participate" includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise,
whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent,
representative, independent contractor, consultant, owner or otherwise. In the
event that HEI or HEA is acquired (whether through (i) sale of substantial
assets, or (ii) merger, sale of stock or otherwise pursuant to which the
shareholders immediately prior to such transaction hold less than a majority of
the voting securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation after such
transaction), by an independent third party with operations in the merchant
semiconductor packaging or test businesses at the time of such transaction (a
"Pre-Existing Test Business"), this prohibition shall not apply to such Pre-
Existing Test Business. In the event that HEI acquires ownership or control of
the stock, business or assets of LG Semicon Co., Ltd. nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to limit the ability of LG Semicon Co., Ltd. and its
Affiliates
73
(as determined immediately prior to such acquisition) following such acquisition
to continue to conduct the merchant semiconductor packaging and test businesses
(if any) conducted by LG Semicon Co., Ltd. and its Affiliates prior to such
acquisition to the extent theretofore conducted and with the customers
theretofore served, it being understood and agreed that any expansion of such
business following such acquisition shall be,subject to the prohibitions of this
Section 12.16(a).
(b) From and after the date hereof and continuing for a period of two
(2) years after the Closing Date, neither HEI, HEA nor any of their Subsidiaries
shall directly or indirectly offer employment to or hire any employee or former
employee of the Company, ChipPAC Korea or ChipPAC Shanghai other than any
employee whose employment is terminated by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates and other than former employees whose employment was
terminated on or prior to December 1, 1998.
(c) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 12.16, a court
shall hold that the duration, scope or other restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the
maximum duration, scope or other restrictions deemed reasonable under such
circumstances by such court shall be substituted for the stated restrictions
contained herein.
(d) Each of HEI and HEA acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a
breach of this Section 12.16, money damages may be an inadequate remedy.
Accordingly, each of HEI and HEA, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, agrees
that the Company shall have the right, in addition to any other existing rights,
to enforce the rights granted pursuant to this Section 12.16 not only by an
action for damages, but also by an action for specific performance and/or other
equitable relief to prevent any violations of this Section 12.16. In the event
of a breach by HEI, HEA or any of their affiliates of any of the provisions of
this Section 12.16, the running of the non-compete period and no hire period set
forth herein (but not of HEI's, HEA's or their Affiliates' obligations
hereunder) shall be tolled with respect to HEI, HEA and their Affiliates during
the continuance of any actual breach.
Section 12.17 inancial Information. The Company shall furnish to Merger
Sub the Financial Statements required by Section 3.7 in a form meeting the
requirements of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
together with the consent of the Company's independent accountants to the use of
their reports thereon.
Section 12.18 Other Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, on or prior to the
Closing Date, HEI and HEA shall, and shall cause each of their controlled
Affiliates (including the Company, ChipPAC Korea and ChipPAC Shanghai), to make

under Article 10 of the Building Lease Agreement and applicable laws); and (v)

terminate such agreement if HEI ceases to hold 50% or less of the outstanding
shares of ChipPAC Korea or the licensee) shall be eliminated; and (iii) Articles
3 and 4 thereof shall be amended so that the term of such agreement may be
extended from year to year by ChipPAC BVI by written notice to HEI and payment
of an annual license fee of forty million Korean Won; and
(e) with respect to the Contract for the Chung Ju plating facility,
HEI hereby covenants and agrees to place not less than ninety percent (90%) of

requirement on the part of HEI.
