(f) (i) except as covered by clause (ii), any liabilities or obligations to any employee or former employee who is or was employed by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Severance Liability, which shall be an Assumed Liability), including any liability or obligation for any unpaid bonuses, salaries or wages, unpaid or unused leave or pursuant to any Benefit Plan and (ii) any liabilities or obligations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent arising out of or related to any employee grievances relating to periods prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Employee Liabilities”);

(g) all liabilities and obligations arising out of, resulting from or relating to claims, whether founded upon negligence, strict liability in tort or other similar legal theory, seeking compensation or recovery for or relating to injury to person or damage to property to the extent arising out of the conduct of the Business prior to the Effective Time, regardless of when asserted;

(i) any liabilities or obligations in respect of any Excluded Asset;

(j) any account payable to the extent that it relates both to the Business and any other business of Seller (a “Shared Payable”);

(k) any liability to the extent arising prior to the Effective Time and to the extent arising out of, resulting from or relating to any lease agreement between Seller and Ujeong Construction Co., Seller’s Lease of Apartment Complex I or Apartment Complex II, including any claim for back rent or failure to properly maintain the premises, regardless of when asserted; and

(l) any other liability or obligation of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, including any liability or obligation directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the operation of the Business or ownership of the Acquired Assets prior to the Effective Time, whether absolute or contingent, accrued or fixed, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, determined or determinable, present, future or otherwise, except for the Assumed Liabilities.

1.4. Consent of Third Parties; Authorities. On the Closing Date, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, the Contracts that are Acquired Assets (the “Acquired Contracts”) and the Permits that are Acquired Assets (the “Acquired Permits”). To the extent that the assignment of all or any portion of any such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit shall require the consent of the other party thereto, any other third party or any Authority, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit if an attempted assignment or other arrangement without any such consent would constitute a breach or violation thereof. In order, however, to provide Purchaser the full realization and value of every such Acquired Contract and Acquired Permit, Seller agrees that on and after the Closing, Seller will, at the request of Purchaser, in the name of Seller or otherwise as Purchaser shall specify, take all commercially reasonable actions (including the appointment of Purchaser as attorney-in-fact for Seller to proceed at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) and do or cause to be done all such commercially reasonable things as shall in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser or its counsel be necessary or proper (a) to assure that the rights of Seller under such Acquired Contracts and Acquired Permits shall be preserved for the benefit of or transferred or issued to Purchaser and (b) to facilitate receipt of the consideration to be received by Seller in and under every such Acquired Contract and Acquired Permit, which consideration shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be delivered to, Purchaser. To the extent that Purchaser is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 1.4 of any Acquired Contract, Purchaser shall perform for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto the obligations of Seller thereunder and any related liabilities that, but for the lack of consent to assign such obligations and liabilities to Purchaser, would be Assumed Liabilities. Once consent for the assignment of any such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit not assigned at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall assign

such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit to Purchaser. To the extent that any such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit cannot be assigned or the full benefits of use of any such Acquired Contract or Acquired Permit cannot be provided to Purchaser following the Closing pursuant to this Section 1.4, then Purchaser and Seller shall enter into such arrangements to provide to the parties the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining such consent and the performance by Purchaser of the obligations thereunder. Nothing in this Section 1.4 shall in any way diminish (i) Seller’s obligations under Article IV or (ii) Purchaser’s rights under Article V.

1.5. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 A.M., Seoul time, on the seventh Business Day after satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to closing set forth in Article V hereof (other than those which by their nature are not to be satisfied until Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) at the offices of Xxx & Xxxxx, 220 Xxxxx-Xxxx, Xxxxxxx-Xx, Xxxxx 000-000, Xxxxx, or on such other date and at such other time or place as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of 11:59 P.M. local time on the Closing Date in each jurisdiction in which the Acquired Assets are located (the “Effective Time”), and Purchaser and Seller agree to acknowledge and use the Effective Time for all purposes, including for accounting and foreign and domestic Tax reporting purposes.

1.6. Purchase Price.

(a) Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the aggregate price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser for the purchase of the Acquired Assets shall be (i) Korean Won (“KRW“) 860,550,000,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.6(b) through (d), Section 4.5(b), Section 4.13 and Section 6.3(b)(vi), and payable as set forth below, (ii) the warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant Agreement”) and (iii) the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Pre-Closing Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(i) Two days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser a statement of Seller’s estimate (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) of the Closing Normalized Working Capital and a balance sheet of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities, as of the Effective Time (the “Pre-Closing Balance Sheet”), in each case determined in accordance with the agreed upon principles set forth in Schedule 1.6(b)(i)-A applied in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practice (the “Accounting Principles”) and in accordance with this Agreement, together with (A) its good faith calculation of the Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount and (B) a certificate signed by an officer of Seller to the effect that the Pre-Closing Statement, Pre-Closing Balance Sheet and Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount were derived and determined in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles. In connection with the preparation of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, Seller shall conduct a count of Inventory as of a date within five days prior to the Closing Date (the “Inventory Date”) in accordance with its customary practices with respect to conducting a

count of inventory for an audited year-end period and shall provide Purchaser with a schedule reflecting such count at Closing listing the location of all Inventory as of the Inventory Date. Purchaser shall have the right to observe the count of the Inventory described in the preceding sentence. For purposes hereof, “Closing Normalized Working Capital” has the meaning set forth on Schedule 1.6(b)(i)-A hereto, “Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount” means the Won amount by which the Closing Normalized Working Capital, as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement, is more or less than the Reference Amount, and “Reference Amount” (as more fully described in Schedule 1.6(b)(i)-B) means the sum of (A) KRW 6.8 billion and (B) 41.4% of gross revenue (determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles) of the Business, excluding DRAM wafer foundry revenue, for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004.

(ii) If the Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is negative (i.e., the Reference Amount is more than Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement), then the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased, on a Won-for-Won basis, by the absolute value of such Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is positive (i.e., the Reference Amount is less than Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement), then the Cash Purchase Price shall be increased, on a Won-for-Won basis, by such Pre-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount.

(i) Within 90 days after the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) of Closing Normalized Working Capital as of the Effective Time and a balance sheet of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), in each case determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles applied in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practice and in accordance with this Agreement, together with (A) its calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount and (B) a certificate signed by an officer of Purchaser to the effect that the Closing Statement, Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount were derived and determined in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles. For purposes hereof, “Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount” means the Won amount by which the Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Closing Statement, is more or less than the Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement and related information, and shall provide to Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants books, records and information as may be reasonably requested from time to time.

(ii) Subject to this Section 1.6(c)(ii), the Closing Statement, Closing Balance Sheet, and calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, delivered by Purchaser to Seller shall be deemed to be and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement, Closing Balance Sheet or calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount,

but only on the basis that the Closing Statement, Closing Balance Sheet or calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount were not prepared or determined (as the case may be) in accordance with the Accounting Principles (or arithmetic computational errors); provided, however, that Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of each disputed amount, and specify the amount thereof in dispute and the reasons therefor, within 30 days of Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement. During such 30-day period, Purchaser shall give Seller and Seller’s accountants and authorized representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times to Purchaser’s personnel, accountants and books, records, documents, working papers (subject to execution of a customary accountant’s access letter) and other information related to the preparation of the Closing Statement, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, including any description of the methodology, procedures, audits and analyses undertaken in connection therewith for purposes of preparing, reviewing and resolving any disputes with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to the Closing Statement, Closing Balance Sheet or calculations of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach a resolution to such effect of all disputed amounts within 30 days of receipt of Seller’s written notice of dispute to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall submit the amounts remaining in dispute for resolution to Young Wha/Ernst & Young, Seoul, Korea (such independent accounting firm being herein referred to as the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within 30 days after such submission, determine and report to the parties upon such remaining disputed amounts, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto with respect to the amounts disputed. The Independent Accounting Firm shall limit the scope of its review to that portion of the disputed amounts from Seller’s notice of dispute that Seller and Purchaser have failed to resolve. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

(iii) If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount as finally determined is negative (i.e., Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement is more than Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Closing Statement), then the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased, on a Won-for-Won basis, by the absolute value of such Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and Seller shall pay Purchaser the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount in cash by wire transfer within 10 Business Days after the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6(c), together with interest thereon for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the date on which all of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is paid, calculated at the rate announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time as its prime or base interest rate for commercial loans (the “Prime Rate”). If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount as finally determined is positive (i.e., Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement is less than Closing Normalized Working Capital as set forth on the Closing Statement), then the Cash Purchase Price shall be increased, on a Won-for-Won basis, by such Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Post-Closing Working Capital

Adjustment Amount in cash by wire transfer within 10 Business Days after the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6(c), together with interest thereon for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the date on which the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is paid, calculated at the Prime Rate.

(d) Missing Assets Adjustment.

(i) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending 45 days after the Closing Date (the “Verification Period”), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to verify the existence of Acquired Assets. For purposes of this Agreement, Acquired Assets, which (A) could reasonably be expected to be material to the conduct of the Business as currently conducted, (B) the existence of which is not confirmed by Purchaser within the Verification Period after Purchaser has used commercially reasonable efforts to do so in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) and (C) are identified with reasonable specificity on the Missing Assets Report, are referred to herein as “Missing Assets.”

(ii) As soon as practicable following the end of the Verification Period (but in no event later than 15 days following the end of the Verification Period), Purchaser shall in good faith deliver a report (the “Missing Assets Report”) to Seller scheduling in reasonable detail the Missing Assets and the respective aggregate values thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Missing Assets Amount” means the book value of a Missing Asset as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) multiplied by a ratio, the numerator of which shall be the amount of the Cash Purchase Price and the denominator of which shall be the total book value of all Acquired Assets as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c).

(iii) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and comply with all reasonable requests of any other party in connection with the preparation and review of the Missing Assets Report. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) each of Seller and Purchaser shall have full access during normal business hours to all relevant books and records reasonably requested by either of them in connection with the preparation and review of the Missing Assets Report (including books and records regarding the receipt of rent or lease payments and inspection reports of third parties) and (B) each party shall make available to the other party and such other party’s representatives such personnel as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of the Missing Assets Report.

(iv) Seller shall have the opportunity during the 60-day period following its receipt of the Missing Assets Report from Purchaser (the “Missing Assets Review Period”) to (A) establish the existence of any alleged Missing Assets or (B) notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s election to dispute the designation of any assets as Missing Assets and the corresponding disputed Missing Assets Amount (a “Missing Assets Disputed Amount”). During the Missing Assets Review Period, Purchaser shall give Seller and Seller’s authorized representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times to Purchaser’s personnel, accountants and books, records, documents, working papers (subject to execution of a customary

accountant’s access letter) and other information related to the Missing Assets Report, including any description of the methodology, procedures and analyses undertaken in connection with the preparation of the Missing Assets Report, for purposes of preparing, reviewing and resolving any disputes with respect thereto. The failure of Seller to notify Purchaser in writing within the Missing Assets Review Period of Seller’s election to dispute Purchaser’s designation of assets as Missing Assets shall be deemed Seller’s acknowledgment that such assets are Missing Assets. Any alleged Missing Assets that are established to exist during the Missing Assets Review Period shall cease to be Missing Assets, and the Missing Assets Report shall be updated accordingly. If Seller shall notify Purchaser of a Missing Assets Disputed Amount during the Missing Assets Review Period, the parties shall, during the 30 days following delivery of the notice that sets forth the Missing Assets Disputed Amount (the date of delivery of such notice, the “Unresolved Dispute Notice Date”), negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items. If, during such period, the parties are unable to reach such agreement, then they shall promptly pursue binding arbitration by an independent arbitrator (who shall not have (A) any material relationship with Purchaser or Seller or (B) rendered or performed arbitration, mediation or similar services for or in connection with any matter involving Purchaser or Seller, or any Subsidiary of Warrant Issuer or Seller, within five years prior to the Closing Date)) reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Such independent arbitrator shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable a report setting forth the resolution of the Missing Assets Disputed Amount. In the event Purchaser and Seller are unable to select an arbitrator who is mutually satisfactory within 15 days of the Unresolved Dispute Notice Date, then the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (“KCAB”) shall select an arbitrator as promptly as practicable following such 15-day period. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of KCAB in effect on the date such arbitration is commenced. Any such arbitration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The cost of such arbitration shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

(v) Within seven days of the resolution of all disputes relating to the Missing Assets Report pursuant to this Section 1.6(d), (A) if the Missing Assets Amount as reflected on the Missing Assets Report is greater than zero, then the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased Won-for-Won by the Missing Assets Amount or (B) if the Missing Assets Amount as reflected on the Missing Assets Report equals zero, then the Cash Purchase Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.6(d). Any payment due under this Section 1.6(d) shall be made in cash by wire transfer within 10 Business Days after the date the Missing Assets Report becomes final and binding on the parties hereto, together with interest thereon for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the date of such payment, calculated at the Prime Rate.

(vi) If any asset that is conclusively determined to be Missing Assets is later found or discovered by any party within one year following the Closing (the “Discovered Assets”), (A) Purchaser shall be entitled to maintain full title and all rights to any and all such Discovered Assets, and (B) Seller shall be entitled to receive a payment from Purchaser in the amount paid by Seller in the Missing Assets Amount which was attributable to such Discovered Asset, in cash by wire transfer within 10 Business Days after the date the Discovered Assets are determined to be Discovered Assets, together with interest thereon for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the date of such payment, calculated at the Prime Rate.

(vii) The availability to Purchaser of the adjustment mechanism provided for by this Section 1.6(d) shall not preclude the exercise by Purchaser of any rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement or otherwise, including the remedy provided for by Section 6.3, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but without duplication. Furthermore, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover its Damages under Section 6.3, net of the Missing Assets Amount received, to the extent the relevant Missing Assets give rise to a claim under Section 6.3 and in accordance with the terms thereof, and Purchaser shall be required to reimburse Seller for the excess of the Missing Assets Amount received by Purchaser from Seller under this Section 1.6(d) with respect to a Missing Asset to the extent it is determined under Section 6.3 that Purchaser’s actual Damages with respect to such Missing Asset are less than such Missing Asset Amount.

(a) Deliveries to Purchaser. Seller will deliver to Purchaser:

(i) the Seller Transaction Documents;

(ii) the certificates, opinions and other documents required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, certified resolutions evidencing the authority of Seller as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, updated Schedule 2.16(c) and Schedule 1.1(b)(xv) pursuant to Section 4.11 and all other agreements, records and other documents required by this Agreement as of the Closing Date.

1.8. Allocation of Consideration. The Purchase Price and, to the extent required, Assumed Liabilities and relevant transaction costs shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets in accordance with the principles as set forth on Schedule 1.8 hereto, which shall be prepared by Purchaser and mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller prior to the Closing Date (the “Allocation Principles”). Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver a schedule of the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets, which schedule shall be based on the Allocation Principles (such schedule, as adjusted if required pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 1.8, is referred to as the “Final Allocation”). Seller may dispute any items reflected on the Final Allocation delivered by Purchaser but only on the basis that such items were not prepared in accordance with the Allocation Principles (or arithmetic computational errors); provided, however, that Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of each disputed item, and specify the amount thereof in dispute and the reasons therefor, within 30 days of Seller’s receipt of the Final Allocation prepared by Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach a resolution to such effect of all disputed items within 30 days of receipt of Seller’s written notice of dispute to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm, which shall, within 30 days after such submission, determine and report to the parties upon such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto with respect to the amounts disputed. The Independent Accounting Firm shall limit the scope of its review to those disputed items from Seller’s notice of dispute that Seller and Purchaser have failed to resolve. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller shall each (i) be bound by the Final Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) prepare and file its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Final Allocation, and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any action before any Authority or otherwise, except as required by Law. In the event the Final Allocation is disputed by any Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto concerning resolution of the dispute. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Allocation Principles and the Final Allocation will be based upon a good faith estimate of fair market values determined at arm’s length.

With respect to any Employee who is not actively employed due to short-term disability or approved leave of absence, the updated Schedule 2.16(c) shall indicate the reason for such absence and the date such individual is reasonably expected to return to active employment.

(b) Purchaser shall, promptly after Seller has obtained approval of the Transaction from its shareholders, extend to each and all Employees listed on Schedule 2.16(c) (including those Employees designated to become employees of the Business pursuant to Section 4.3) an offer of employment effective as of 12:01 A.M. on the day immediately following the Closing Date on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Employees as of the Closing Date to the extent such terms and conditions have been disclosed to Purchaser; provided however, that with respect to those Employees on short-term disability or an approved leave of absence, Purchaser shall offer employment to such Employees upon their return from short-term disability or approved leave of absence. All Employees to whom Purchaser offers employment and who accept and commence such employment are herein referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume the terms and conditions of any collective bargaining agreement set forth on Schedule 2.16(a) to the extent applicable to the Transferred Employees. Purchaser shall use its

commercially reasonable efforts to not terminate any Transferred Employee, except as permitted by Law or as agreed to by any such Transferred Employee, for a period of two years from the Closing Date.

(c) Seller shall before the Closing Date obtain a release and waiver from each Transferred Employee confirming whether he elects to have Seller pay the amount of his severance pay accrued as of the Closing Date, or to have such accrued severance pay carried over to his employment by Purchaser, and releasing Seller from any liability in respect thereof and in respect of any salary, wage, leave or other benefits owed to him (other than any severance payment in accordance with Section 4.11(d)) up to the Closing Date, releasing Purchaser from any liability in respect thereof with respect to Transferred Employees who have elected to have Seller pay the amount as of the Closing Date and waiving any claims against Seller and Purchaser in connection with the Transaction. Seller shall promptly pay and/or reimburse Purchaser upon request for all Pre-Closing Employee Liabilities.

(d) To the extent that any Transferred Employee elects to receive his/her severance payment accrued prior to the Closing Date (the “Accrued Severance Payment”) from Seller, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a notice (the “Severance Payment Notice”) stating (i) Seller’s good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of the Accrued Severance Payments, (ii) whether Seller reasonably believes in good faith that the Aggregate Accrued Severance Payment will exceed KRW 15 billion (which shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation supporting such belief) and (iii) whether Seller elects to pay the amount, if any, by which the Aggregate Accrued Severance Payment exceeds KRW 15 billion (the “Excess Severance”). Seller shall timely pay the Accrued Severance Payment, as calculated in accordance with applicable Law, to each Transferred Employee who elects such option and who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 4.11(b) and executes a release and waiver in accordance with Section 4.11(c) (the sum of such Accrued Severance Payments being the “Aggregate Accrued Severance Payment”). Within two Business Days after such payments are made by Seller to such Transferred Employees, Seller shall deliver a statement to Purchaser of the aggregate amount of the Accrued Severance Payments actually paid by Seller to such Transferred Employees (the “Actual Severance Payment”), together with supporting documentation for such amount reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller, after receipt of such statement and supporting documentation from Seller, in cash by wire transfer, as follows: (i) 100% of the first KRW 4 billion of the Actual Severance Payment and, if Purchaser so elects pursuant to Section 5.3(g), 100% of the amount of the Excess Severance to the extent paid by Seller, in each case within seven days after Seller’s payment of the Actual Severance Payment to relevant Transferred Employees, but in no event prior to the Closing Date; (ii) 50% of the next KRW 11 billion of the Actual Severance Payment within seven days of Seller’s payment of the Actual Severance Payment to relevant Transferred Employees, but in no event prior to the Closing Date, and the remaining 50% of such KRW 11 billion within six months after the Closing Date; and (iii) 100% of the amount of any Excess Severance, to the extent not paid pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, in equal annual installments on each of the first six anniversaries of the Closing Date.

(e) With respect to loans provided by third party financial institutions to the Transferred Employees (the “Employee Bank Loans”), the payment obligations of which have been guaranteed by Seller in favor of such lending institutions, Purchaser shall provide a joint and several guarantee in favor of such institutions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such financial institutions and to Seller and Purchaser, that is to take effect from the Closing Date, in respect of the obligations of any Transferred Employee to make any and all payments under the relevant Employee Bank Loan (the “Employee Bank Loan Guarantees”). As used herein, “Net Exposure” means the amount that each of the guarantors of the Employee Bank Loans is called upon to pay pursuant to the Employee Bank Loan Guarantees, net of any sums actually recovered from or against the Employees by the applicable guarantor in respect of such Employee Bank Loans. The parties agree to the following allocation of the aggregate Net Exposure, regardless of which party actually makes payment under any Employee Bank Loan Guarantee at any point in time: Purchaser shall be responsible for the first KRW 4.7 billion of any Net Exposure and Seller shall be responsible for any Net Exposure in excess thereof. To effect such allocation, Purchaser and Seller agree that if, as a result of payments required to be made by one party under its Employee Bank Loan Guarantees at any given time, such party is required to make payments inconsistent with the foregoing allocation, the other party shall promptly reimburse the party required to make such payment. Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, subject to applicable Law, to recover sums from or against the Employees in respect of the Employee Bank Loans in accordance with Seller’s past practices that Seller has applied with respect to the collection of Employee Bank Loans. Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to refinance the Employee Bank Loans when they mature and to extend the Employee Bank Loan Guarantees. Seller shall not incur any new Employee Bank Loan Guarantees after the date hereof.

(f) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an updated Schedule 1.1(b)(xv), which shall disclose all of the information required by Section 1.1(b)(xv) as of two days prior to the Closing Date.

4.12. Taxes. (a) No election with respect to Taxes relating to or in any way affecting the Acquired Assets or the Business after Closing may be made or changed by Seller after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(b) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide the other party with such information and records as may be reasonably requested by such other party requesting them in connection with the preparation of any Tax return, any audit or other examination by any Taxing authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to Taxes that relates to Taxes with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Business.

4.13. Capital Expenditure. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to release all purchase orders for the capital expenditures set forth on Schedule 4.13 and to have the equipment related to such capital expenditures delivered, in each case substantially in

accordance with, and substantially on the timetable contemplated by, the management plan set forth on Schedule 4.13. Without limiting the foregoing, at Closing, the Cash Purchase Price shall be (a) increased by the amount, if any, by which Seller has paid (as evidenced by reasonable documentation provided to Purchaser) between December 1, 2003 and the Closing Date more than KRW 56.2 billion for capital expenditures for the Business and (b) decreased by the amount, if any, by which Seller has paid (as evidenced by reasonable documentation provided to Purchaser) between December 1, 2003 and the Closing Date less than KRW 56.2 billion for capital expenditures for the Business. For the avoidance of any doubt, upon Closing, any outstanding purchase orders for the capital expenditures set forth on Schedule 4.13 shall constitute Assumed Liabilities and the rights to receive the equipment ordered thereunder shall constitute Acquired Assets. The adjustment to the Cash Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be based on reasonable documentation evidencing Seller’s payments provided to Purchaser at least two days prior to the Closing Date. If, based on reasonable documentation provided by Seller to Purchaser between the second day prior to the Closing Date and the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, the adjustment to the Cash Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to this Section 4.13 would have been different if such documentation had been taken into account in computing the adjustment made at Closing, then a payment shall be made within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser (as applicable) so that the adjustment made at Closing, taken together with such payment, equals the adjustment that would have been made at Closing had such documentation been taken into account at Closing.

4.15. Confidentiality.

(a) At all times after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and representatives to, keep confidential all data, trade secrets, proprietary secrets and any other confidential information regarding the Business and not disclose such confidential information to anyone other than Purchaser, except with the express written consent of Purchaser or as required by Law, order or legal process.

In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives is required by Law, order or legal process to disclose any such confidential information, such person will promptly notify Seller in writing so that Seller may, at its expense, seek a protective order and/or other motion to prevent or limit the production or disclosure of such confidential information; provided that in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver from Seller after a request in writing therefor is made by any such person, if any such person is legally required to disclose confidential information, such person will be entitled to disclose such information without liability under these confidentiality provisions.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other agent of each party to this Agreement) may disclose to its respective officers, directors, advisors and representatives, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure; provided, however, that such disclosure may not be made to the extent required to be kept confidential to comply with any applicable domestic or foreign securities Laws; provided further that (to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing) such disclosure shall be made without disclosing the names or other identifying information of any party.

engage in negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide or disclose any information or afford access to the books and records of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person considering making, or that has made, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) agree to, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Seller Representative, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Seller or its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this exclusivity covenant by Seller.

4.17. Appraisal Financing. If shareholders of Seller have exercised their appraisal rights with respect to the Transaction in an aggregate amount in excess of KRW 40 billion, Seller shall, within three Business Days following the expiration of the period in which such shareholders are entitled to exercise such rights and the period in which the amount of such appraisal rights is fixed under Korean law (the “Appraisal Rights Exercise Period”), notify Purchaser of such fact and state in such notice whether Seller elects to waive the condition to closing set forth in Section 5.3(b). In the event that Seller does not state in such notice its election to waive the condition to closing set forth in Section 5.3(b), then Purchaser shall be entitled to elect, in its sole discretion and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4.17, to fund the amount exceeding KRW 40 billion (the “Excess Appraisal Amount”) and shall provide Seller with written notice of such election within three Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice pursuant to this Section 4.17.

request of Purchaser, take such steps as are reasonably necessary to promptly assign, transfer, deliver and convey ownership to Purchaser of any Intellectual Property that is an Acquired Asset in accordance with the terms hereof that was not included in Schedule 1.1(b)(iv) hereto. With respect to the inadvertent failure to transfer any such Intellectual Property at Closing or the inadvertent transfer of any such Intellectual Property at Closing, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be liable whatsoever to the other party (including any liability or obligation under Section 6.3) other than to effect the transfers contemplated by this Section 4.19(b).

ARTICLE VI

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

6.1. Certain Taxes and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 6.5, all foreign and domestic sales, use, value added (“VAT”), transfer, real property transfer, documentary, stamp, recording, acquisition and other similar taxes, including any interest, penalties and additions thereon (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), arising from and with respect to the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets shall be borne or reimbursed, as the case may be, by Purchaser. Seller shall make due and timely payment of the Transfer Tax to the applicable Tax Authority on behalf of Purchaser (as applicable). Seller shall on the Closing Date issue an invoice (the “Closing Transfer Tax Invoice”) to Purchaser stating the amount of VAT payable by Purchaser (“VAT Payable”) and Purchaser shall pay such invoiced amount to Seller, to the extent Purchaser receives a refund of such amount from the applicable Tax Authorities, in immediately available funds within two days of the date on which Purchaser receives such refund of VAT. In the event that the Purchase Price is adjusted upward or downward after the Closing Date such that there is an increase (“VAT Increase”) or decrease (“VAT Decrease”) in the amount of VAT Payable under applicable Law from the amount stated in the Closing Transfer Tax Invoice (the amount of any such VAT Increase or VAT Decrease being referred to herein as a “Post-Closing VAT Adjustment”), Seller shall promptly (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a refund from the applicable Tax Authorities in the amount of any VAT Decrease and (b) make due and timely payment to the applicable Tax Authorities of any VAT Increase. Promptly after any VAT Decrease, Seller shall issue an invoice (a “Post-Closing Transfer Tax Invoice”) to Purchaser stating the amount of the VAT Decrease and Seller shall pay the amount of such VAT Decrease to Purchaser, in immediately available funds within two days of the date on which Seller receives the refund of VAT for such VAT Decrease from the applicable Tax Authorities. Promptly after any VAT Increase, Seller shall issue a Post-Closing Transfer Tax Invoice to Purchaser stating the amount of the VAT Increase and Purchaser shall pay the amount of such Post-Closing Transfer Tax Invoice to Seller, to the extent Purchaser receives a refund of such VAT Increase amount from the applicable Tax Authorities, in immediately available funds within two days of the date on which Purchaser receives the refund of VAT for such invoiced amount from the applicable Tax Authorities. For the purpose of obtaining any refund of VAT,

Purchaser or Seller (as applicable) shall file the necessary returns with the relevant Tax Authorities in a manner consistent with applicable rules and regulations as soon as practicable following receipt of the Closing or Post-Closing Transfer Tax Invoice from Seller or the occurrence of a Post-Closing VAT Adjustment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to minimize all Transfer Taxes. Whether or not the Transaction is consummated, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser each shall bear their respective accounting, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction, including with respect to Section 1.6.

6.2. Maintenance of Books and Records. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate fully with each other after the Closing so that (subject to any limitations that are reasonably required to preserve any applicable attorney-client privilege) each party has access to the business records, contracts and other information existing at the Closing Date and relating to the Acquired Assets or the conduct of the Business (whether in the possession of Seller or Purchaser) in connection with any Tax determination, defense of any claim relating to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing or any governmental investigation of the Business. No files, books or records existing at the Closing Date and primarily relating in any manner to the Acquired Assets or the conduct of the Business shall be destroyed by any party for a period of six years after the Closing Date without giving the other party at least 30 days prior written notice, during which time such other party shall have the right (subject to the provisions hereof) to examine and to remove, to the extent not prohibited by operation of Applicable Laws to make and retain a copy of, any such files, books and records prior to their destruction. The access to files, books and records contemplated by this Section 6.2 shall be during normal business hours and upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written request, shall be subject to such reasonable limitations as the party having custody or control thereof may impose to preserve the confidentiality of information contained therein, and shall not extend to material subject to a claim of privilege unless expressly waived by the party entitled to claim the same.

6.3. Indemnification. Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

(a) General Indemnification Obligations.

(i) Except as set forth in Section 4.19(b), Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its directors, officers, and other Affiliates (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), and hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to (A) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in any schedule, statement, document or certificate furnished or required to be furnished to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller or its Subsidiaries pursuant thereto; (B) breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement or in any schedule, statement, document or certificate furnished or required to be furnished to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller or its Subsidiaries pursuant thereto; (C) the Excluded Liabilities; or (D) any claim or cause of action from any shareholder or creditor of Seller brought in their capacity as such against any Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with the Transaction.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 4.19(b), Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its directors, officers and other Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to (A) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any schedule, statement, document or certificate furnished or required to be furnished to Seller by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries pursuant thereto (other than the Warrant Agreement); (B) breach of any covenant or agreement made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any schedule, statement, document or certificate furnished or required to be furnished to Seller by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries pursuant thereto (other than the Warrant Agreement); or (C) the Assumed Liabilities.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall mean any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages (including any governmental penalty or costs of investigation, clean-up and remediation), deficiencies, royalties, interest, costs and expenses and any claims, actions, demands, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, commenced or threatened incident to the successful enforcement of this Agreement).

(b) General Indemnification Procedures.

(i) A party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, the incurrence of any Damages, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, of which it has knowledge and in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such required notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim or action, suit or proceeding by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, provided that (A) the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have any continuing material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s business and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such Third Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”); and provided further that in the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party agrees that, regardless whether it is otherwise required to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, it will be

responsible for the costs and fees of its attorneys and related litigation expenses incurred by it in the prosecution of the defense of such Third Party Claim (but not any other Damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to such Third Party Claim, the responsibility for which shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.3(a)). The Indemnifying Party assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim will use its commercially reasonable efforts, determined in accordance with its reasonable discretion, to vigorously defend such Third Party Claim.

(ii) Within 10 Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its intended exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party so objects, the Indemnified Party shall continue to defend the Third Party Claim until such time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, until such time as the Indemnified Party shall give notice that any of the Litigation Conditions, in its reasonable judgment, are no longer satisfied.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other party is defending as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is reasonably likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).

(iv) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle a Third Party Claim to the extent that the settlement solely involves the payment of monetary damages, provides for the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and poses no reasonable danger of establishing a precedent that may be adverse to the Indemnified Party’s interests. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, and shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving monetary damages with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(v) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any claim involving a third Person, the other party hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(vi) Amounts paid in respect of indemnification obligations of the parties shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(vii) No action or claim for Damages arising out of or resulting from a breach of representations and warranties, a breach of the covenants and agreements contained in Section 4.1 or the indemnification provided for in Section 6.3(a)(i)(D) shall be brought or made after the expiration of the period set forth in Section 7.1; provided, however, that the foregoing time limitations shall not apply to any such claims which have been the subject of a written notice from Purchaser to Seller or from Seller to Purchaser, as the case may be, prior to the end of such period, which notice specifies in reasonable detail the nature and basis for such claim. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages incurred as a result of any breach of representations or warranties in this Agreement (provided that the limitation contained in clause (B) shall not apply to breaches of Section 2.1 or 2.2) unless (A) the amount of Damages incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, for any individual claim or group of related claims, thereunder, exceeds KRW 250,000,000 (a “Permitted Claim”) and (B) the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, with respect to Permitted Claims exceeds in the aggregate KRW 8 billion (the “Deductible Amount”), in which case the applicable Indemnifying Party shall then be liable for the amount that exceeds the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that (Y) at such time as the Damages of Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.10(c) and 2.28) and with respect to the indemnification set forth in Section 6.3(a)(i)(D) first exceeds KRW 80 billion, Seller shall have no further indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.10(c) and 2.28) and with respect to the indemnification set forth in Section 6.3(a)(i)(D) and (Z) at such time as the Damages of Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2) first exceeds KRW 80 billion, Purchaser shall have no further indemnification obligations with respect thereto. For purposes of calculating the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty by Seller or Purchaser, the references to a “Material Adverse Effect” or materiality (or other correlative terms, including as expressed in accounting concepts such as “US GAAP”) shall be disregarded. The parties acknowledge that any limitation or condition of liability contained in this Section 6.3(b)(vii) is not applicable to breaches of covenants or agreements in this Agreement and the Excluded Liabilities, except to the extent specifically provided herein.

(viii) No right to indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall be limited by reason of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing of any party hereto or the knowledge of such party of any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant by the other party at any time, or the decision by such party to complete the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall have the right, irrespective of any knowledge of or investigation by Purchaser, to rely fully on the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained herein.

(ix) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6.3 shall be net of (A) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, (B) an amount equal to the Tax benefit (net of any Tax detriment), if any, attributable to such Damages if and when actually realized and (C) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Damages, net of any increase in premiums or retroactive premium adjustment attributable to such recovery of insurance proceeds.

(x) In the event the existence of a circumstance shall give rise to a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, any liability of an Indemnifying Party for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall be determined without duplication of recovery.

(xi) The indemnity provided in this Section 6.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims for monetary Damages sustained or incurred arising out of this Agreement and the Transaction with respect to the other party hereto, except for claims for fraud or willful breach of the Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of either party to obtain specific performance or injunctive relief.

6.4. Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. (a) Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Business to the extent permitted by Law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 6.4 and, therefore, for a period of three years from the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any area of the world, in the (i) except as permitted by the second succeeding sentence, design, manufacture, distribution, sale or marketing of any Solution Products or their derivatives or (ii) management, ownership, operation or control of any business, venture or activity which engages in the foregoing. Seller will not attempt to circumvent any of the foregoing by means of licensing or sublicensing technology but will not be prevented from entering into cross license agreements or other arrangements with producers of products similar to those produced by Seller or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of protecting Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ own ability to manufacture products. In addition, for a period of two years after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries will engage, directly or indirectly, in any area of the world, in (i) foundry

or semiconductor manufacturing services for Solution Products, Specialty Products or their derivatives or (ii) the management, ownership, operation or control of any business, venture or activity which engages in the foregoing. Seller will not attempt to circumvent any of the foregoing by means of licensing or sublicensing technology but will not be prevented from entering into cross license agreements or other arrangements with producers of products similar to those produced by Seller or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of protecting Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ own ability to manufacture products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial or record ownership of up to five percent of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded company shall not be deemed a breach of the foregoing restrictions.

(b) Purchaser understands that Seller shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of its Memory Products business to the extent permitted by Law and that Seller would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 6.4 and, therefore, for a period of three years from the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any area of the world, in the (i) except as permitted by the second succeeding sentence, design, manufacture, distribution, sale or marketing of any Memory Product other than ICs for memory modules including buffer ICs, or (ii) management, ownership, operation or control of any business, venture or activity which engages in the foregoing. Purchaser will not attempt to circumvent any of the foregoing by means of licensing or sublicensing technology but will not be prevented from entering into cross license agreements or other arrangements with existing producers of products similar to those produced by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of protecting Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ own ability to manufacture products. In addition, for a period of two years after the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries will engage, directly or indirectly, in any area of the world, in (i) foundry or semiconductor manufacturing services for Memory Products except Solution Products, Specialty Products, high speed static random access memory (“RAM”) for cache, contents addressable memory (“CAM”) or ICs for memory modules including buffer ICs, or (ii) the management, ownership, operation or control of any business, venture or activity which engages in the foregoing; provided, however, that in no event shall any foundry services provided by Purchaser to Seller be regarded as a breach of the non-competition provision hereunder. Purchaser will not attempt to circumvent any of the foregoing by means of licensing or sublicensing technology but will not be prevented from entering into cross license agreements or other arrangements with existing producers of products similar to those produced by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of protecting Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ own ability to manufacture products. Nothing in this Section 6.4(b) shall prevent Purchaser from producing standalone Memory Products for the purpose of maturing new developed technology to ramp up the yield and stabilize the production of such new developed technology necessary for the Business as part of technology development. “Memory Products” shall mean memory semiconductors capable of storing data consisting of dynamic RAM (“DRAM”), ferroelectric RAM, static RAM (including pseudo static RAM, slow static RAM and fast static RAM) except for high speed static RAM for cache or CAM, flash memory, memory-linked DRAM, phase change DRAM, magnetoresistive RAM, ICs for memory modules including buffer ICs and any derivatives of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial or record ownership of up to five percent of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded company shall not be deemed a breach of the foregoing restrictions.

(c) During the three-year period from and after the date of Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause Seller’s Subsidiaries, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries or Warrant Issuer and Warrant Issuer’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, not to, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other party to leave the employ of the other party, provided that this restriction shall not apply to general advertisements for employment, discussions resulting from the services of an employment agency in connection with a nondirected solicitation or discussions initiated by any employee of the other party who was not solicited in violation of the terms of this restriction (the “Non-Solicit Exceptions”), (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the other party or any of its Affiliates at Closing or who was an employee of the other party or any of its Affiliates at any point in the 12 months preceding the Closing within one year of the last day such person was an employee of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, or their respective Affiliates, except in the event that such employment is the result of actions contemplated by the Non-Solicit Exceptions, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the other party to cease doing business with the other party or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation (including making defamatory statements or communications about the other party); provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to the employment offer extended by Purchaser to the Employees set forth on Schedule 2.16(c) pursuant to Section 4.11(b) of this Agreement.

(d) The parties agree that to the extent any provision or portion of this Section 6.4 shall be held, found or deemed to be unlawful or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then any such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary in order that any such provision or portion thereof shall be legally enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; and the parties do further agree that any court of competent jurisdiction shall, and the parties hereto do hereby expressly authorize, require and empower any court of competent jurisdiction to, enforce any such provision or portion thereof in order that any such provision or portion thereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(e) As the violation by either party, Seller’s Subsidiaries, Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, Warrant Issuer or Warrant Issuer’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, of the provisions of this Section 6.4 would cause irreparable injury to the other party, and there is no adequate remedy at law for such violation, the injured party shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, have the right in addition to any and all other remedies available, at law or in equity, to seek to enjoin the other party or such other party’s Subsidiaries or Warrant Issuer or Warrant Issuer’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in a court of equity from violating such provisions. Each party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries or Warrant Issuer and Warrant Issuer’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, hereby waive any and all defenses it may have on the ground of damages as an adequate remedy at law. The existence of this right shall not preclude any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which the parties may have. The prevailing

party in any enforcement action or court proceeding under this Section 6.4 shall be entitled to the extent permitted by Law to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees.

6.5. Registration of Purchaser’s Lease Rights.

(a) Seller shall provide that (i) Purchaser’s lease rights (the “Lease Rights”) with respect to the site occupied by the C1, C2 and R buildings and the surrounding land that is necessary for Purchaser’s use of the C1, C2 and R buildings (the “Lease Rights Site”), and Purchaser’s easement right (the “Easement Rights I”) with respect to the access road and the parking lot located on the Land (the “Easement Site I”) granted by Seller to Purchaser under the land lease and easement agreement (the “Land Lease and Easement Agreement”), which are portions of the Land, shall have first priority over other Liens on the Land, including the Lease Rights Site and the Easement Site I, except for statutory Liens that may have priority over the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights I, provided, that Seller shall not be in default of any payment obligations, the failure of which may grant a Tax Authority, Seller’s employees or any other Person statutory Liens having priority over the Lease Rights or the Easement Rights I, (ii) two parcels of land respectively located at 105-27, Oibuk-dong, Heungduk-gu, Cheongju City, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Buk-do, Korea and 0, Xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx, Xxxxxxxx-xx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Buk-do, Korea (the “Parcels”) shall be partitioned into the land, which shall include the Lease Rights Site and the Easement Site I (the “Land”), and land other than the Land (the “Remaining Land”) in accordance with the survey result to be conducted in accordance with Section 6.5(b) below and (iii) all existing Liens on the Land that would have higher priority over the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights I shall be cancelled or released and reregistered subsequent to the registration of the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights I by taking the steps set forth in this Section 6.5. Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 6.5 due to the imposition by Purchaser’s lenders in connection with the Term Debt of any Lien senior to the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights I shall in no event constitute a breach by Seller thereof.

the Financing. In connection with the granting of the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights, Purchaser, with the cooperation of Seller, shall register the Lease Rights and the Easement Rights with the relevant real property registry office.
