with the first payroll date occurring at least thirty (30) days following the date of the
Involuntary Termination. The Company and the Officer agree that for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code, the payments pursuant to this Section shall be treated as a right to a series of
separate payments.
(2) The Company shall pay to the Officer the Annual Incentive for the year in which the
Involuntary Termination occurs. Such amount shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the
applicable plans and policies of the Company following the determination by the Committee of

his eligible dependents for a period of twelve (12) months commencing on the date of the
Involuntary Termination. To the extent that all or any portion of the Company’s payment of the
cost of the Enumerated Benefits would be for a type of benefit or exceed an amount for which,
or continue for a period of time in excess of which, such Enumerated Benefits would qualify
for an exemption from treatment as a deferral of compensation within the meaning of the
Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Section 409A Regulations”), the Company shall, for the duration of the twelve month period,
pay for the Enumerated Benefits in an amount not to exceed US$600,000 per calendar year or any
portion thereof. The amount of the Enumerate Benefits furnished in any taxable year of the
Officer shall not affect the amount of Enumerated Benefits furnished by the Company in any
other taxable year of the Officer. Any right of the Officer to Enumerated Benefits shall not
be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any reimbursement for Enumerated
Benefits to which the Officer is entitled shall be paid no later than the last day of the

prior to the date of the Involuntary Termination, the Company shall pay
5
to the Officer an amount equal to twenty-four months of Salary at the monthly rate in effect
on the date of the Involuntary Termination. Such amount shall be paid over a period of
twenty-four months, which, subject to Section 4(f), shall be payable to the Officer in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule as in effect on the date of the
Involuntary Termination, commencing with the first payroll date occurring at least thirty (30)
days following the date of the Involuntary Termination. The Company and the Officer agree that
for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the payments pursuant to this Section shall be
treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
(2) The Company shall pay to the Officer the Annual Incentive for the year in which the
Involuntary Termination occurs. Such amount shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the
applicable plans and policies of the Company following the determination by the Committee of
the extent of achievement of the applicable performance objectives, but in any event no
earlier than January 1 or later than March 15 of the year following the applicable plan year.
(3) The Officer shall receive 24 months’ accelerated vesting with respect to the
Officer’s outstanding equity awards and a 12 month post-termination equity award exercise
period.
(4) The Company shall continue to provide the Enumerated Benefits to the Officer and his
eligible dependents for a period of twenty-four (24) months commencing on the date of the
Involuntary Termination. To the extent that all or any portion of the Company’s payment of the
cost of the Enumerated Benefits would be for a type of benefit or exceed an amount for which,
or continue for a period of time in excess of which, such Enumerated Benefits would qualify
for an exemption from treatment as a deferral of compensation within the meaning of the
Section 409A Regulations, the Company shall, for the duration of the twenty-four month period,
pay for the Enumerated Benefits in an amount not to exceed US$600,000 per calendar year or any
portion
thereof. The amount of the Enumerate Benefits furnished in any taxable year of the
Officer shall not affect the amount of Enumerated Benefits furnished by the Company in any
other taxable year of the Officer. Any right of the Officer to Enumerated Benefits shall not
be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any reimbursement for Enumerated
Benefits to which the Officer is entitled shall be paid no later than the last day of the
Officer’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Officer’s expense for the
Enumerated Benefits was incurred.
The Severance payable to the Officer pursuant to this section shall be reduced to the extent
that the Company makes any severance payments pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code or any other
statute.
Without the prior consent of the Officer, neither the Company nor any affiliate shall enter
into a severance arrangement with any other officer of the Company that provides such officer with
severance payments and/or benefits greater than those to which the Officer is entitled pursuant to
this Agreement. In addition, if the Company or any affiliate already has entered into such a
severance arrangement, the Officer shall be entitled to receive equivalent severance payments and
benefits.
For purposes of this Section 4(b)(i), an Involuntary Termination is “in connection with a
Change of Control” if the date of the Involuntary Termination (or, if applicable, the commencement
of the cure period that leads to the Involuntary Termination) is within nine months following a
Change of Control.

MagnaChip LLC and the members of MagnaChip LLC); or
(7) the Officer has not been appointed chief executive officer of MagnaChip LLC or any
other affiliate of the Company immediately following an initial public offering of the equity
securities of such entity.

written notice from the Officer stating that the Officer will be resigning for Good Reason,
specifying the particulars thereof and the effective date of such resignation, which shall be a

connection with the Officer’s employment with the Company (or termination thereof) would subject
the Officer to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Excise Tax”), and if the net-after tax amount (taking into account all
applicable taxes payable by the Officer, including without limitation any Excise Tax) that the
Officer would receive with respect to such payments or benefits does not exceed the net-after tax
amount the Officer would receive if the amount of such payments and benefits were reduced to the
maximum amount which could otherwise be payable to the Officer without the imposition of the Excise
Tax, then, only the to the extent necessary to eliminate the imposition of the Excise Tax, such
payments and benefits shall be reduced.

contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of the Officer’s termination of
employment with the
Company which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Section 409A
