(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 to make the statements therein 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 any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, any such amendment or supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with such Selling Stockholder’s Information, it being understood that the only such information furnished by each Selling Stockholder consists of the statements
22
contained with respect to such Selling Stockholder under the caption “Principal and Selling Stockholders”; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall 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 or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Barclays Capital Inc. or Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. expressly for use therein; and provided further that the liability of a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the DSs as set forth in the Prospectus after deducting any underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, but without deducting expenses of the Company or Selling Stockholders (“Net Proceeds”).
(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 to make the statements therein 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 any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Barclays Capital Inc. or Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a),(b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall 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
23
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of generally the same allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties (except to the extent that local counsel (in addition to any regular counsel) is required to effectively defend against any such action or proceeding). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders (relative as to each other and severally with respect to each other) on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the DSs. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders (relative as to each other and severally with respect to each other) on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders (relative as to each other and severally as to each other) on the one hand and the Underwriters 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 and the Selling Stockholders (relative as to each other and severally with respect to each other) bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. 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 state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or a Selling Stockholder on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
24
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the DSs underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Net Proceeds exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. Further, each of the Selling Stockholder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) are several and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any affiliate of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to any affiliate of the Company or any Selling Stockholder and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.
10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the DSs which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such DSs on the terms contained herein. If within thirty six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such DSs, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of thirty six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such DSs on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so arranged for the purchase of such DSs, or the Company and the Selling Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such DSs, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to postpone a Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to
25
effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your reasonable opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such DSs.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the DSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such DSs which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the DSs to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of DSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of DSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the DSs of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the DSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such DSs which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the DSs to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase DSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company and the Selling Stockholders to sell the Optional DSs) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the DSs.
12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason any DSs are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders
26
as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. for all of their documented out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the DSs not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the DSs not so delivered except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or, as stated herein, by Barclays Capital Inc., on behalf of you as the representatives.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Barclays Capital Inc., 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Syndicate Registration, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Equity Capital Markets Syndicate, Fax: 000-000-0000; if to any Selling Stockholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for such Selling Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule II hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by you on request; provided, however, that notices under subsection 5(e) shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives at Barclays Capital Inc., 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Syndicate Registration, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Equity Capital Markets Syndicate, Fax: 000-000-0000. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any
27
of the DSs from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
16. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares and the DSs pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and each Selling Stockholder agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company and each Selling Stockholder agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
19. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
21. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Stockholders (and the Company’s and the Selling Stockholders’ employees,
28
representatives and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling Stockholders relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

As representatives of the several
Underwriters named in Schedule I to the
Underwriting Agreement referenced below
c/o Barclays Capital Inc.
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx

Re: | MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation - Lock-Up Agreement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation to be incorporated pursuant to the conversion of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC pursuant to Delaware law (the “Company”), providing for a public offering (the “Offering”) of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The undersigned is an owner of record or the beneficial owner of certain common units or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC to be converted into Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares in connection with the Offering.
In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that except as expressly provided below, during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”) other than any shares sold pursuant to the Offering or as otherwise provided herein. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Lock-Up Agreement is not intended to prevent the undersigned from causing a resale registration statement to be filed in accordance with its demand registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 9, 2009, as amended to date, during the Lock-Up Period.
The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue for 180 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Shares (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or announces material news or a material event or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be automatically extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless each of Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. waives, in writing, such extension.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to the previous paragraph to the undersigned (in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement) and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned.

We have participated in the preparation of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-165467) (the “Registration Statement”), the preliminary prospectus dated February , 2011 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”)[, the free writing prospectus dated [ ], 2011, filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act (the “Specified IFWP[s]”)] (together with the Preliminary Prospectus and the information set forth on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, the “Time of Sale Prospectus”), and the prospectus dated March , 2011 (the “Final Prospectus”). From time to time, we have had discussions with certain officers, directors and employees of the Company, with representatives of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, the independent registered public accounting firm who examined the financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus; with the Underwriters and with counsel to the Underwriters concerning the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and the proposed responses to various items in Form S-1. Based upon our participation and discussions described above, we are of the view that the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act, and the Final Prospectus, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, except that we express no view with respect to (i) the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial data included therein or (ii) the information referred to under the caption “Experts” as having been included therein on the authority of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as experts.
We have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraph 11 above) of the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. Based upon our participation and discussions described above, however, no facts have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as of [a.m.][p.m.] New York City time on [ ], 2011 (which is the time that you have informed us was prior to the first contract of sale of any Depositary Shares by the Underwriters), included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Final Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that we express no view with respect to (i) the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial data included therein or (ii) the information referred to under the caption “Experts” as having been included therein on the authority of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as experts.
The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose are pending or threatened by the Commission. The Final Prospectus has been filed with the Commission pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act [Each Specified IFWP[s] has been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act.]

ANNEX II(a)
FORM OF SAMIL PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LETTER
We have audited (i) the consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, successor to MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (the “Company”), and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and (ii) the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008, all included in the registration statement (No. 333-165467) on Form S-1 filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933,as amended (the “Act”); our reports with respect thereto are also included in such registration statement. Such registration statement, as amended on April 20, 2010, May 11, 2010, May 21, 2010, June 3, 2010, June 16, 2010, October 4, 2010, November 4, 2010, February 1, 2011, February [ ], 2011 and March [ ], 2011, is herein referred to as the “Registration Statement”.
In connection with the Registration Statement:
1. | We are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). |
2. | In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements audited by us and included in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC. |
3. | We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2010. Therefore, we are unable to and do not express any opinion on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2010. |
4. | For purposes of this letter, we have read the minutes of the 2011 meetings of the unitholders/stockholders, the Board of Directors, the compensation committee and the audit committee of the Company as set forth in the minute books at March [ ], 2011, officials of the Company having advised us that the minutes of all such meetings through that date were set forth therein, and have carried out other procedures to March [ ], 2011 (our work did not extend to the period from March [ ], 2011 to March [ ], 2011, inclusive) as follows: |
With respect to the period from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011, we have:
a. | read the unaudited consolidated financial data of the Company and subsidiaries for January of both 2011 and 2010 furnished to us by the Company, officials of the Company having advised us that no such financial data as of any date or for any period subsequent to January 31, 2011 were available. The financial information for January of both 2011 and 2010 is incomplete in that it omits the statement of cash flows and other disclosures. |
b. | inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether the unaudited consolidated financial data referred to in a. above are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Registration Statement. |
The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. Also, they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraph. Accordingly, we make no representations as to the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for your purposes.
5. | Nothing came to our attention as a result of the foregoing procedures, however, that caused us to believe that (i) at January 31, 2011 there was any change in the capital stock, increase in long-term debt, or decrease in consolidated net current assets (working capital) or stockholders’ equity of the Company and subsidiaries consolidated as compared with amounts shown in the December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet of the Company included in the Registration Statement, or (ii) for the period from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or in the total or per-share/unit amounts of net income attributable to common shares/units, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur and except that the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2011, which we were furnished by the Company, showed an increase in long-term debt from December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011, which we were furnished by the Company, showed a decrease in net sales from the corresponding period in the preceding year as follows (in thousands of US dollars): |
Long-term debt | ||||
December 31, 2010 |
$ | 246,882 | ||
January 31, 2011 |
$ | 246,905 |
Net sales | ||||
January 1, 2010 - January 31, 2010 |
$ | 67,827 | ||
January 1, 2011 - January 31, 2011 |
$ | 55,592 |
6. | As mentioned in 4.a., Company officials have advised us that no consolidated financial data as of any date or for any period subsequent to January 31, 2011 are available; accordingly, the procedures carried out by us with respect to changes in financial statement items after January 31, 2011 have, of necessity, been even more limited than those with respect to the periods referred to in 4. We have inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether (a) at March [ ], 2011 there was any change in the capital stock, increase in long-term debt, or decrease in consolidated net current assets (working capital) or stockholders’ equity of the Company and subsidiaries consolidated as compared with amounts shown in the December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet of the Company included in the Registration Statement; or (b) for the period from January 1, 2011 to March [ ], 2011, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or in the total or per-share/unit amounts of net income attributable to common shares/units. |
Those officials referred to above stated that they cannot comment on any such increases or decreases in consolidated net current assets (working capital), stockholders’ equity, consolidated
net sales, or the total or per-share/unit amounts of net income attributable to common shares/units for the periods referred to above.
On the basis of these inquiries and our reading of the minutes as described in 4, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that there was any such change in capital stock and increase in long-term debt, [except that we have been informed by officials of the Company that there continues to be a increase in long-term debt that is estimated to be approximately the same as set forth in 5, and] except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur.
7. | For purposes of this letter, we have also read the items identified by you on the attached copy of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and have performed the following procedures, which were applied as indicated with respect to the symbols explained below. We make no comment as to whether the SEC would view any non-GAAP financial information included in this Registration Statement as being compliant with the requirements of Regulation G or Item 10 of Regulation S-K. |
A | Compared to a corresponding amount in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement and found such amounts to be in agreement, after giving effect for rounding differences, if applicable. However, we make no comment as to the appropriateness or manner in which the Company’s classifications between Display Solutions, Power Solutions, Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and All other sales have been made. We make no comment as to the appropriateness of the Company’s methodology in allocating costs to each segment. We make no comment about the Company’s definition, calculation or presentation of its net sales by geographic region. We make no comment as to whether the use of proceeds of 10.5% senior notes due 2018 to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes will actually occur. | |
B | Compared to a corresponding amount in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company not included in the Registration Statement and found such amounts to be in agreement, after giving effect for rounding differences, if applicable. | |
C | Recomputed the amounts, percentages or ratios derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement, and found the computation to be mathematically correct, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment as to the reasons given for the related changes between periods. We also make no comment as to the company’s definition of total capitalization. | |
D | Recomputed the amounts, percentages or ratios derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company not included in the Registration Statement and found the computation |
to be mathematically correct, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment as to the reasons given for the related changes between periods. | ||
E | Recomputed from the actual column for the proposed use of proceeds of the shares to be offered by means of this Registration Statement as described under “Use of Proceeds” and found such amounts to be in agreement. However, we make no comment as to whether the sale of the shares will be consummated or the use of proceeds as described therein will actually occur. We also make no comment as to the company’s definition of total capitalization. | |
F | Compared amount or percentage to corresponding amount or percentage in the schedules prepared by the Company from its accounting records and found such amount or percentage to be in agreement. We (a) agreed the amounts on the schedules to the Company’s accounting records for the corresponding period and found them to be in agreement, except for rounding differences; and (b) proved the mathematical accuracy of the schedules, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment about the Company’s definition, calculation or presentation of its 10 largest customers, its net sales through its direct sales force or through its network of authorized agents and distributors, its net sales to LG Display or its revenue from customers in geographic regions. | |
G | Compared with a corresponding amount included in the Company’s accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement. | |
H | Compared to the schedules prepared by the Company and recomputed the depreciation and amortization associated with continuing operations and found such amounts to be in agreement. We (a) agreed total depreciation and amortization amounts on the schedules to the Company’s accounting records for the corresponding period and found them to be in agreement, except for rounding differences; and (b) proved the mathematical accuracy of the schedules, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment as to the appropriateness or manner of classifications between Display Solutions, Power Solutions, Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and All other, which are collectively considered as continuing operations, and Imaging Solutions. We make no comment as to the appropriateness of the Company’s methodology in calculating the allocation ratio of each segment. | |
I | Compared or recomputed amount or percentage to a schedule prepared by the Company from its accounting records, as applicable, and found such amount or percentage to be in |
agreement, except for rounding differences. We (a) compared the amounts on the schedule to corresponding amounts appearing in the accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically correct, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment with respect to classification or reasons given for changes between periods. | ||

We (a) compared the amounts on the schedule to corresponding amounts appearing in the accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement and (b) determined that the schedule was mathematically correct, except for rounding differences. It should be noted that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss) are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We make no comment about the Company’s definition, calculation or presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss) or their usefulness for any purpose. | |

The Company computed net tangible book value per share by dividing net tangible book value at December 31, 2010 by the number of common shares outstanding at that date also as shown in such December 31, 2010 balance sheet.
The Company computed pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering as net tangible book value, after giving effect to the sale of [ ] shares at the initial public offering price of $[ ] per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions of $[ ] million, and estimated offering expenses payable of $[ ] million.
The Company computed pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering by dividing pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering at December 31, 2010 by the number of common shares outstanding at that date also as shown in such December 31, 2010 balance sheet, as adjusted for the common shares assumed to be sold by the Company under the Registration Statement (a total of [ ] common shares).
However, we make no comment as to the definition of net tangible assets, net tangible book value, pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering, net tangible book value per share, or pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering. Further, we make no comment on whether the offering or actions indicated in Registration Statement will actually take place. |

We (a) compared the amounts on the schedule to corresponding amounts from accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement and (b) recomputed the amounts expressed in US Dollars (USD), based on the corresponding amounts expressed in Korean Won (KRW), using exchange rates of USD 1 : KRW 1,138.82 for compensation paid for January 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,157.08 for February 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,137.64 for March 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,117.11 for April 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,163.11 for May 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,212.33 for June 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,207.30 for July 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,179.92 for August 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,167.01 for September 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,123.45 for October 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,126.20 for November 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,147.55 for December 2010; USD 1 : KRW 1,301.69 for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009; USD 1 : KRW 1,172.17 for November 2009; USD 1 : KRW 1,164.78 for December 2009; and USD 1 : KRW 1,098.66 for 2008, respectively, giving effect to rounding where applicable, and found such amounts to be mathematically correct.

We make no comment regarding the completeness or appropriateness of the Company’s determination of what constitutes executive compensation for purposes of the SEC disclosure requirements on executive compensation. | |
O | Compared or recomputed amount to a schedule prepared by the Company and found such amount to be in agreement. We (a) compared the amounts on the schedule to corresponding amounts from accounting records and found such amounts to be in agreement and (b) recomputed the amounts expressed in US Dollars (USD), based on the corresponding amounts expressed in Korean Won (KRW), using exchange rates of USD 1 : KRW 1,133.70 for compensation paid on March 17, 2010 and USD 1 : KRW 1,132.90 on March 22, 2010, respectively, giving effect to rounding where applicable, and found such amounts to be mathematically correct.

We make no comment regarding the completeness or appropriateness of the Company’s determination of what constitutes executive compensation for purposes of the SEC disclosure requirements on executive compensation. |
P | Compared to a corresponding amount in the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements not included in the Registration Statement and found such amounts to be in agreement after giving effect to rounding differences, if applicable. | |
Q | Recomputed the amounts, percentages or ratios derived from the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company not included in the Registration Statement and found the computation to be mathematically correct, except for rounding differences. However, we make no comment as to the reasons given for the related changes between periods. |
8. | Our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the periods referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter comprised audit tests and procedures deemed necessary for the purpose of expressing an opinion on such financial statements taken as a whole. For none of the periods referred to therein, or any other period, did we perform audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on individual balances of accounts or summaries of selected transactions such as those enumerated above, and, accordingly, we express no opinion thereon. |
9. | At your request, we have: |
a. | Read the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Registration Statement. |
b. | Inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about: |
(i) | the basis for their determination of the pro forma adjustments, and |
(ii) | whether the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement referred to in 9.a. complies as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X. |
c. | Proved the arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement. |
The foregoing procedures are substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management’s assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of those adjustments to historical financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraph. Accordingly, we make no representation about the sufficiency of such procedures for your purposes.
10. | Nothing came to our attention as a result of the procedures specified in paragraph 9, however, that caused us to believe that the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement referred to in 9.a. included in the Registration Statement does not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X and that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of that statement. Had we performed additional procedures or had we made an |
examination of the condensed consolidated pro forma financial statement, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. |
11. | It should be understood that we make no representations regarding questions of legal interpretation or regarding the sufficiency for your purposes of the procedures enumerated in paragraph 7; also, such procedures would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts or percentages listed above. Further, we have addressed ourselves solely to the foregoing data as set forth in the Registration Statement and make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosure or regarding whether any material facts have been omitted. |
12. | This letter is solely for the information of the addressees and to assist Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company in connection with the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referred to within or without the underwriting group for any other purpose, including but not limited to the registration, purchase, or sale of securities, nor is it to be filed with or referred to in whole or in part in the Registration Statement or any other document, except that reference may be made to it in the underwriting agreement or in any list of closing documents pertaining to the offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement. |
