Dear Sirs:

 

1. Introductory. ChipPAC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to Lehman Brothers Inc. (the initial “Purchaser”) U.S.$125,000,000 principal amount of its 2-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2008 (the “Firm Securities”) and also proposes to grant to the Purchaser an option, exercisable from time to time by Lehman Brothers Inc. to purchase an aggregate of up to an additional $25,000,000 principal amount (“Optional Securities”) of its 2-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2008 each to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2003 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. The Firm Securities and the Optional Securities which the Purchaser may elect to purchase pursuant to Section 3 hereof are collectively called the “Offered Securities”. The United States Securities Act of 1933 is herein referred to as the “Securities Act”.

 

The Offered Securities will be offered and sold to the Purchaser without being registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Offered Securities and the Indenture, the Purchaser and investors that acquire Offered Securities may only resell or otherwise transfer such Offered Securities if such Offered Securities are hereafter registered under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including, without limitation, the exemption offered by Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act). The holders of the Offered Securities will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement dated the First Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) between the Company and the Purchaser (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agrees to file a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) registering the resale of the Offered Securities and the Underlying Shares, as hereinafter defined, under Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

(B) at the date of the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date not more than three business days prior to the date of this Agreement, there was any change in the capital stock or any increase in short-term or long-term indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or, at the date of the latest

 

12


available balance sheet read by such accountants, there was any decrease in consolidated net current assets or net assets, as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included in the Exchange Act Reports; or

 

(C) for the period from the closing date of the latest income statement included in the Exchange Act Reports to the closing date of the latest available income statement read by such accountants there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, in consolidated revenue, operating income or in the total or per share amounts of consolidated net income,

 

except in all cases set forth above in clauses (B) and (C) for changes, increases or decreases which are described in such letter; and

 

(iv) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial information contained in the Exchange Act Reports and the Offering Document (in each case to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to the internal controls of the Company’s accounting system or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information to be in agreement with such results, except as otherwise specified in such letter.

 

(b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise which, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Purchaser, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any

 

13


banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Purchaser, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.

 

(c) The Purchaser shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing Date, of Kirkland & Ellis, counsel for the Company, to the effect that:

 

(i) The Company is duly incorporated and is existing as a corporation in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Laws and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as it is currently being conducted and as described in the Offering Circular.

 

(ii) The Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the Company.

 

(iii) The Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date are convertible into Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; the shares of such Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion and, when issued upon such conversion, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; neither the issuance of the Offered Securities nor the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion thereof is subject to any preemptive rights under the terms of the statute under which the Company is incorporated, under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or under any contractual provision of which we have knowledge.

 

(iv) Each of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of such agreements by the other parties thereto, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

(v) The execution and delivery by the Company of, and performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities will not (i) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) to our knowledge, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or a default under, any agreement filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for

 

14


the year ended December 31, 2002 (provided that we express no opinion as to compliance with any financial test or cross-default provision in any such agreement) or (iii) to our knowledge, breach or otherwise violate any provision in any court or administrative order, writ, judgment or decree that names the Company and is specifically directed to any of its property (except that for purposes of this paragraph, we express no opinion with respect to federal or state securities laws or other anti-fraud laws and no opinion as to whether performance of the indemnification or contribution provisions in the Agreement will be enforceable).

 

(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court of the United States or the State of California is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Offered Securities to the Purchaser, the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Offered Securities (assuming such conversion on the date hereof) or the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Indenture, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act, foreign securities laws and U.S. “Blue Sky” laws.

 

(vii) When the Offered Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, no Offered Securities will be of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as securities of the Company that are listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or that are quoted in a United States automated inter-dealer quotation system.

 

(viii) The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and after giving effect to the sale of the Offered Securities in the Offering Document, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

 

(ix) To our knowledge, no stop order preventing the use of the Offering Document, or any order asserting that the issuance of the Offered Securities are subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, has been issued.

 

(x) It is not necessary in connection with (i) the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the resales of the Offered Securities by the Purchaser in the manner contemplated in the Offering Circular to register the Offered Securities under the Securities Act or to qualify an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(xi) Assuming that the Offered Securities have been duly authorized by the Company, when executed and issued by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and delivered and paid for by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offered Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to

 

15


applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

(xii) The statements in the Offering Document under the caption “Description of the Notes” insofar as they describe the provisions of the documents and instruments therein described, constitute fair summaries thereof accurate in all material respects and the statements in the Offering Document under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” insofar as they purport to describe certain United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Offered Securities under current law, provide a fair summary of such consequences in all material respects.

 

(xiii) Such counsel shall also state that the purpose of such counsel’s professional engagement was not to establish factual matters, and preparation of the Offering Circular involved many determinations of a wholly or partially nonlegal character. Such counsel need make no representation that it has independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Offering Circular or that actions taken in connection with the preparation of the Offering Circular (including the actions described below) were sufficient to cause the Offering Circular to be accurate, complete or fair. Such counsel need not pass upon and need not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Offering Circular except to the extent otherwise explicitly indicated in numbered paragraph (xii) above. Such counsel shall however confirm that it has participated in discussions with representatives of the Company, representatives of the Purchaser, counsel for the Purchaser and representatives of the independent accountants for the Company during which disclosures in the Offering Circular and related matters were discussed. Such counsel shall also state that it has reviewed certain corporate records furnished to it by the Company. Based upon such counsel’s participation in the conferences and its document review identified above, such counsel’s understanding of applicable law and the experience such counsel has gained in such counsel’s practice thereunder and relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the opinions and statements of officers of the Company, such counsel can, however, advise the Purchaser that nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that has caused such counsel to conclude that the Offering Circular at the date it bears or on the date of this letter contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Purchasers the opinion of Patricia H. McCall, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

 

16


(i) The outstanding shares of such Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and conform to the description thereof contained in the Offering Document.

 

(ii) The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Offering Circular in all material respects.

 

(iii) Except as disclosed in the Offering Documents, to such counsel’s knowledge, the Company has not received any notice (written or oral) of infringement of or interference with the asserted rights of any other person with respect to any intellectual property rights that would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

 

(iv) Excluding the matters contained under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, to such counsel’s knowledge, the descriptions in the Offering Document and the Exchange Act Reports incorporated therein of statutes (excluding Federal securities laws), legal and governmental proceedings, and contracts relevant to the Company and its business in all material respects are accurate statements or summaries of the matters set forth therein.

 

(v) The execution and delivery by the Company of, and performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities will not (i) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) to such counsel’s knowledge, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or a default under, any agreement filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to compliance with any financial test or cross-default provision in any such agreement) or (iii) to such counsel’s knowledge, breach or otherwise violate any provision in any court or administrative order, writ, judgment or decree that names the Company and is specifically directed to any of its property (except that for purposes of this paragraph, such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to federal or state securities laws or other anti-fraud laws and no opinion as to whether performance of the indemnification or contribution provisions in the Agreement will be enforceable).

 

(vi) Except as expressly disclosed in the Offering Document or otherwise to the Purchaser, to the knowledge of such counsel, except for rights which have been waived in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities and the filing of the Registration Statement, no holders of securities of the Company have rights to the registration of such securities under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or pursuant to the terms of any agreement to which the Company is a party.

 

17


(vii) To such counsel’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court of governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, pending or threatened against the Company that (i) has caused such counsel to conclude that such action, suit, proceeding or investigation is required to be described in the Offering document but is not so described or (ii) would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.

 

In addition to the matters set forth above, such opinion shall also include a statement to the effect that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel which leads him to believe that the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Exchange Act Report incorporated by reference therein, as of its date or as of such Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except that counsel need express no view as to financial statements, schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein). With respect to such statements, such counsel may state that his belief is based upon the procedures set forth therein, but is without independent check and verification.

 

(e) The Purchaser shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Purchaser, such opinion and letter, dated such Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the validity of the Offered Securities, the Offering Document, the exemption from registration for the offer and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company to the Purchaser and the resales by the Purchaser as contemplated hereby and other related matters the Purchaser may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

 

(f) The Purchaser shall have received a letter, dated such Closing Date, of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to in such subsection will be a date not more than three days prior to such Closing Date for the purposes of this subsection.

 

(g) The Purchaser shall have received a certificate, dated such Closing Date, of the President or any Vice President and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, that the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Closing Date; and that, subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in the Exchange Act Reports there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company except as set forth in or contemplated by the Exchange Act Reports or as described in such certificate.

 

18


(h) On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have received lockup letters in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, from each of the executive officers and directors of the Company and stockholders listed on Schedule A hereto.

 

The Company will furnish the Purchaser with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Purchaser reasonably request. The Purchaser may in their discretion waive compliance with any conditions to their obligations hereunder, whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or otherwise.

 

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement, and will reimburse the Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

 

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company’s directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Purchaser consists of the following information in the Offering Document

 

19


furnished on behalf of the Purchaser: the first sentence in paragraph eleven and paragraphs twelve, thirteen and fifteen in their entirety under the caption “Plan of Distribution”; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could reasonably be expected to have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchaser from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to

 

20


state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Purchaser under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

 

8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or their respective officers and of the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Company, or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchaser is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company, and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties of Section 2 and all representations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchaser is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 6(b), the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

 

9. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchaser will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to the Purchaser at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to it at ChipPAC, Inc., 47400 Kato Road, Fremont, California 94538, Attention: Robert Krakauer.

 

21


10. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of Offered Securities shall be entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Company as if such holders were parties hereto.

 

11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

22


If the foregoing is in accordance with the Purchaser’s understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to the Company one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the Company and the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

 

                , 2003

 

ChipPAC, Inc.

47400 Kato Road

Fremont, CA 94538

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As an inducement to one or more initial purchasers to execute a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which an offering of notes (the “Notes”) that will be convertible into Common Stock (the “Securities”) of ChipPAC, Inc. (the “Company”) will be made, the undersigned hereby agrees that from the date hereof and until 90 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Notes (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to which you are or expect to become a party, the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the initial purchaser(s).

 

Any Securities received upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned will also be subject to this Agreement. Any Securities acquired by the undersigned in the open market after the Public Offering Date will not be subject to this Agreement. A transfer of Securities to a family member or trust may be made, provided the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement. In addition, if the undersigned is a partnership or limited liability company, the partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, may transfer any Securities to a partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, or a retired partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or member, as the case may be, or retired partner or member, as the case may be, and any partner or member, as the case may be, who is an individual may

 

26


transfer Securities as a bona fide gift or gifts as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, provided that in each case the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

 

The initial purchaser(s) shall be third party beneficiaries of this agreement, and no amendment or waiver under this agreement shall be made without the prior written consent of the initial purchaser(s).

 

This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement shall lapse and become null and void (a) if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before August 1, 2003 or (b) at such earlier time as the registration statement in respect of the public offering is withdrawn.

 

Very truly yours,
