Dear Mr. Woo:


Thank you for your letter of September 15, 1997 regarding the settlement
arrangement for the liabilities of MPM (S) Pte Ltd.  We would like to take this
opportunity to incorporate your recommended changes into a final repayment plan.

1)   The above-referenced-leases were entered into between Orix Leasing
     Singapore Limited ("Orix") and MPM (S), Pte., Ltd. ("MPM") and were
     guaranteed by Microelectronic Packaging Singapore ("MPS") and
     Microelectronic Packaging, Inc. ("MPI").

2)   Due to MPM being in default under the terms of these leases, Orix has taken
     possession of the leased equipment and has sold some of this equipment.

3)   Orix has called upon MPI's guarantee of the MPM leases. MPS, also a
     guarantor, was placed into receivership on July 10, 1997 by DBS Bank.

4)   The balance remaining on these leases, according to Orix's analysis is
     S$2,406,065.40, which is equal to US$1,666,250 using the exchange rate of
     S$1.44/US$1 on July 15, 1997.  The amount above has been further reduced by
     the subsequent recovery of S$84,095.14 (effective September 30, 1997) from
     the sale of additional equipment.  At the prevailing exchange rate of
     S$1.50/US$1.00, the recovery is equal to US$56,063.  This balance may be
     further reduced as a result of proceeds from:

  .   The sale of additional leased equipment which was repossessed by Orix, and


  .   Cash which may be available from the liquidation of MPS assets.

5)   MPI will repay the balance on this loan of US$1,666,250 over a five-year
     period, with interest-only payments in the first year, in accordance with
     the attached schedule. Interest shall be paid at the rate of 7.25% per
     annum (based on a 360 day year). The recovery of US$56,063 noted in (4)
     above will be used to reduce the principal balance as of September 30,
     1997. The remaining principal payments have been reduced accordingly.

6)   Any additional proceeds received by Orix Leasing as described in (4) above
     shall be used to reduce the principal balance outstanding. The remaining
     principal payments shall be reduced to repay the remaining principal
     balance ratably over the remaining number of principal payments originally
     scheduled. Orix Leasing shall promptly notify (within 5 days of receipt)
     MPI of any such proceeds received by Orix. All recoveries shall reduce the
     principal balance due using the prevailing exchange rate as of the date of
     the recovery.

7)   Acceptance of this settlement agreement is subject to Orix reserving its
     rights and remedies under the various hire purchase agreements and the
     respective guarantees of MPS and Microelectronic Packaging, Inc., except as
     otherwise modified by this settlement agreement.

Please indicate your acceptance of the above terms by signing in the space
provided below.


Most sincerely,
