Dear Sirs:
ChipPAC International Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands
corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to Citicorp Capital
-------
Investors, Limited (the "Purchaser"), upon the terms set forth in a purchase
---------
agreement, dated as of June 11, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"), $15,000,000
------------------
aggregate principal amount of its 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009
(the "Notes"). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
-----
June 29, 1999 (the "Indenture"), among ChipPAC International Limited, ChipPAC
---------
Merger Corp. and Firstar Bank, N.A. as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as amended by
-------
the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1999, among the Company,
ChipPAC, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ChipPAC"), and the Trustee.
-------
As an inducement to the Purchaser to enter into the Purchase
Agreement, the Company agrees with the Purchaser, for the benefit of the
holder(s) of the Notes, from time to time, (including, without limitation, the
Purchaser) (collectively, the "Holders"), as follows:
-------
1. Resale Shelf Registration.
-------------------------
(a) The Company shall, at its cost, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file as promptly as practicable (but in no event more
than 90 days after the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement))
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
----------
thereafter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be
declared effective a registration statement (the "Shelf Registration
------------------
Statement") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as
---------
amended (the "Securities Act"), within 180 days of the Closing Date,
--------------
relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes (as defined
in Section 8(d) hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf
Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter,
the "Shelf Registration"); provided, however, that no Holder (other than
------------------ -------- -------
the Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 2
Notes held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such
Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this
Agreement applicable to such Holder.
(b) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the
relevant Transfer Restricted Notes, for a period of two (2) years (or for
such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 2(h) below or by the
last sentence of this Section 1(b)) from the date of its effectiveness or
such shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer Restricted
Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold
pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer Transfer Restricted Notes as defined
in Section 8(d) hereof (in any such case, such period being called the
"Shelf Registration Period"). The Company shall be deemed not to have used
-------------------------
its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any
action that would result in Holders of Notes covered thereby not being able
to offer and sell such Transfer Restricted Notes during that period, unless
(i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 2(b)(v) below, such action is taken by
the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons and the Company
thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 2(h) hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the
effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or
supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell such
Holder's Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement and related prospectus, it will do so in accordance with this
Section 1(d). Each Holder wishing to sell Transfer Restricted Notes
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus agrees to
deliver a Notice and Questionnaire (the form of which is attached as Annex
-----
A hereto) to the Company. The Company will include in the Shelf
-
Registration Statement as a selling securityholder each Holder that
delivers such properly completed Notice and Questionnaire as of or prior to
the Closing Date. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts
to include in the Shelf Registration Statement any Holder which fails to
provide such properly completed Notice and Questionnaire as of or prior to
the Closing Date but otherwise provides such properly completed Notice and
Questionnaire prior to the commencement of the Shelf Registration Period.
Except as described above and below, the Company shall have no obligation
to include in the Shelf Registration Statement a Holder which fails to
provide the Company with such properly completed Notice and Questionnaire
as of or prior to the Closing Date. From and after the date the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as
promptly as is practicable after the date a properly completed Notice and
Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within thirty (30) days after
such date, (i) if required by law,
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 3
file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law, file
a supplement to the related prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is
named a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver
such prospectus to purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Notes in
accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-
effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to
be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practical,
but in any event by the date that is thirty (30) business days after the
date such post-effective amendment is required by this clause to be filed;
(ii) provide such Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section
1(d)(i); and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the
effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment
filed pursuant to Section 1(d)(i); provided, that if such Notice and
-------- ----
Questionnaire is delivered during a period in which the use of such
prospectus is suspended pursuant to Section 2(h) hereof, the Company shall
so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall
take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon
expiration of such suspension period. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name
any Holder that has not supplied the requisite information as required by
and in accordance with the procedures and time periods set forth in this
Section 1(d) as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration
Statement and related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
2. Shelf Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf
-----------------------------
Registration contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall
apply:
(a) The Company shall (i) furnish to the Purchaser, prior to the
filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration
Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the
prospectus included therein and, the Company shall use its best efforts to
reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such
comments as the Purchaser reasonably may propose and (ii) include the names
of the Holders, who propose to sell Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders; provided,
---------
that the Purchaser and Holders have complied with Section 1(d).
----
(b) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchaser and the
Holders of the Transfer Restricted Notes included within the coverage of
the Shelf Registration Statement (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v)
hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the
prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):
(i) when the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has
become effective;
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 4
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus
included therein or for additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or
the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the Transfer Restricted Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to
make changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus in
order that the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus do not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, which
written notice need not provide any detail as to the nature of such
event.
(c) The Company shall make every commercially reasonable effort to
obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Notes included within
the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy
of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder
so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any,
incorporated by reference).
(e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver
to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes included within the coverage of
such Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus
(including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may
reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Transfer Restricted Notes in
connection with the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes
covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included
in the Shelf Registration Statement.
(f) Prior to any public offering of the Notes pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate
with the Holders of the Notes included therein and their respective counsel
in connection with the registration or qualification of the Transfer
Restricted Notes for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws
of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Notes reasonably
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 5
requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Notes
covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in
any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action
which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(g) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Notes to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
the Notes to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement free of
any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such
names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales
of the Notes pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii)
through (v) of Section 2(b) above during the period for which the Company
is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall as required hereby prepare and file a post-effective
amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to Holders of the Notes or purchasers of Notes included within
the coverage of such Shelf Registration Statement, the prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company may delay filing
-------- -------
and distributing any such supplement or amendment (and continue the
suspension of the use of the related prospectus) if the Company determines
in good faith that such supplement or amendment would, in the reasonable
judgement of the Company, (i) interfere with or affect the negotiation or
completion of a transaction that is being contemplated by the Company or
(ii) involve initial or continuing disclosure obligations that are not in
the best interests of the Company's stockholders at such time; provided,
further, that neither such delay nor such suspension shall extend for a
period of more than 90 consecutive days or an aggregate of 180 days in any
twelve-month period. If the Company notifies the Purchaser and the Holders
of the Notes in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 2(b)
above to suspend the use of such prospectus until the requisite changes to
such prospectus have been made, then the Purchaser and the Holders of the
Notes shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness
of such Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 1(b) above
shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the
giving of such notice to and including the date when the Purchaser and the
Holders of the Notes shall have received such amended or supplemented
prospectus pursuant to this Section 2(h).
(i) Not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Company will provide CUSIP numbers for the Notes registered
under the Shelf Registration Statement and provide the Trustee with a
certificate for the Notes, in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company.
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 6
(j) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the
Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Shelf
Registration to enable the Holders to resell their securities in accordance
with this Agreement.
(k) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), in a
-------------------
timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary
for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require
the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall
appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the Indenture.
(l) Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Notes, that no Holder of
Notes shall be entitled to sell any of such Notes pursuant to any Shelf
Registration Statement or to receive a prospectus relating thereto, unless
such Holder has furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as
required pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1(d) hereof and the
information set forth in the next sentence. Each Holder agrees promptly to
furnish the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to
make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not
misleading and any other information regarding such Holder and the
distribution of such Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request.
(m) In the event of any underwritten public offering, the Company
shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action,
if any, as any managing underwriter of such offering and Holder of the
Notes shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Notes pursuant to any Shelf Registration; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Company shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement by any Holders unless the
offering relates to at least $10,000,000 principal amount of the Notes.
(n) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by
any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement and any agent retained by any such underwriter all
relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors,
employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information
reasonably requested by any such underwriter or agent in connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be
coordinated on behalf of the Purchaser by you and the other parties, by one
firm of counsel, which firm shall be designated as described in Section 6
hereof.
(o) In the event of an underwritten offering, the Company shall cause
(i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the
Notes in customary form and substance addressed to the managing
underwriters thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the
effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement; (ii) its executive
officers and directors to execute and deliver all customary documents and
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 7
certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the
applicable Notes and (iii) the independent public accountants for which
financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to
provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Transfer Restricted Notes
and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form, type and
substance customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings.
(p) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take
all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Notes covered
by a Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby.
3. Demand Registration.
-------------------
(a) From and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Holders
of at least 50% of the outstanding Transfer Restricted Notes, subject to
Section 3(e) below, (the "Initiating Holders") may request, in writing,
------------------
registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Transfer
Restricted Notes. Within 10 days after receipt of any such request, the
Company will give notice of such request to all other Holders of Transfer
Restricted Notes ("Other Holders"). Thereafter, the Company will use all
-------------
commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act and will include in such
registration, subject to Section 3(e) below, all Transfer Restricted Notes
held by the Initiating Holders and Other Holders with respect to which the
Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days
after the receipt of the Company's notice. All registrations initiated by
an Initiating Holder pursuant to this Section 3(a) are referred to herein
as "Demand Registrations." Notwithstanding anything herein to the
--------------------
contrary, the Company need not effect any requested Demand Registration
unless the expected gross proceeds of such registration exceed $10,000,000.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3(a) above to the contrary,
the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such
registration pursuant to Section 3(a) above:
(i) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to
service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Securities Act;
(ii) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days
prior to the Company's estimated date of filing of, and ending on one
hundred twenty (120) days immediately following the effective date of,
any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company
(other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or
with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company
is actively employing in good faith all reasonable effects to cause
such registration statement to become effective;
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 8
(iii) After the Company has effected one (1) such registration
pursuant to Section 3(a), and such registrations have been declared or
ordered effective;
(iv) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in
the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a
registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the
Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
comply under Section 3(a) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt of written
request from an Initiating Holder; provided that the Company may not
exercise this deferral right more than once per twelve (12) month
period.
(c) A registration requested pursuant to Section 3(a) shall not be
deemed to have been effected (i) unless a registration statement with
respect thereto has been declared effective by the Commission, (ii) if
after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any
stop order, injunction or the order or requirement of the Commission or
other governmental agency or court for any reason, and, as a result
thereof, the Transfer Restricted Notes covered thereby have not been sold
or (iii) the registration statement does not remain effective for a period
expiring the earlier of 90 days after the effective date thereof or the
completion of the distribution of the Transfer Restricted Notes included in
such registration statement. The Holders of the Transfer Restricted Notes
shall be permitted to withdraw all or any part of the Transfer Restricted
Notes from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effective date of
such Demand Registration; provided that in the event of, and concurrently
with such withdrawal, the Holders responsible for such Demand Registration
shall either (i) pay or reimburse the Company for all fees and expenses
(including counsel fees and expense) incurred by them and the Company prior
to such withdrawal or (ii) agree to forfeit its Demand Registration rights
hereunder.
(d) In the event that a registration pursuant to Section 3(a) is for
a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall
so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 3(a).
In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section
3(a) shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in the
underwriting arrangements required by this Section 3, and the inclusion of
such Holder's Transfer Restricted Notes in the underwriting to the extent
requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein. The Company shall
(together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the
Initiating Holder, but subject to the Company's reasonable approval.
(e) If the Company includes in any underwritten Demand Registration
any securities which are not Transfer Restricted Notes and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number
of Transfer Restricted Notes proposed to be included exceeds the number of
Transfer Restricted Notes and other securities which can be sold in such
offering, the Company will include in such
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 9
registration (i) first, the Transfer Restricted Notes requested to be
included which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, by the
Initiating Holders initiating the Demand Registration, (ii) second, the
Transfer Restricted Notes proposed to be included in such registration by
the Other Holders exercising their registration rights hereunder, pro rata
based upon the total number of Transfer Restricted Notes which such Other
Holders propose to include in such registration and (iii) third, the
securities proposed to be included in such registration by any other
holders as determined by the Company and the managing underwriters.
4. Piggyback Registration.
----------------------
(a) From and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
whenever the Company proposes to register any securities substantially
similar to the Transfer Restricted Notes under the Securities Act (other
than on S-8 or any successor forms), and the form of registration statement
to be used may be used for the registration of Transfer Restricted Notes (a
"Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give notice to all Holders of
----------------------
Transfer Restricted Notes of the intention to effect such a registration
and will include in such registration, subject to Sections 4(c) and 4(d)
below, all Transfer Restricted Notes with respect to which the Company has
received written requests for inclusion therein. Such requests for
inclusion shall be in writing and delivered to the Company within 15 days
after the Holders' receipt of such notice and shall specify the number of
Transfer Restricted Notes intended to be disposed of and the intended
method of distribution thereof. Any Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes
shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Transfer
Restricted Notes in any registration statement pursuant to this Section
4(a) by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw.
The Company may withdraw a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the
time it becomes effective.
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to
Section 4(a). In such event the right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Transfer Restricted
Notes in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other holders distributing their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such
underwriting by the Company.
(c) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary
registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise
the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the
securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the securities
proposed to be included in such registration by the holders (including
Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes) of the same securities proposed to be
sold by the Company and (iii) third, the securities proposed to be included
in such registration by the holders
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 10
(including Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes) of substantially the same
securities proposed to be sold by the Company, in each of clauses (ii) and
(iii) pro rata among such holders exercising their respective piggyback
registration rights thereof based upon the total number of securities which
such holders beneficially own.
(d) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary
registration on behalf of holders (other than the Holders of the Transfer
Restricted Notes) of the Company's securities, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number
which can be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such
registration (i) first, the securities which such initiating holders
-----
propose to sell; (ii) second, the securities the Company proposed to be
------
included in such registration; (iii) third, the securities proposed to be
-----
included in such registration by the holders (including Holders of Transfer
Restricted Notes) of the same securities proposed to be sold by such
initiating holders and (iv) fourth, the securities proposed to be included
------
in such registration by the holders (including Holders of Transfer
Restricted Notes) of substantially the same securities proposed to be sold
by such initiating holders, in each of clauses (iii) and (iv) pro rata
among any such holders exercising their respective piggyback registration
rights thereof based upon the total number of securities which such holders
beneficially own.
5. Demand and Piggyback Registration Procedures. In the case of each
--------------------------------------------
registration effected by the Company pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, the Company
will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each
registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) With respect to Demand Registrations, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file as promptly as practicable (but in
no event more than 120 days after the date the Company is in receipt of
written requests by the Other Holders for inclusion in such Demand
Registration (the "Demand Initiation Date")) and thereafter shall use
----------------------
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective a
registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act,
within 180 days after the Demand Initiation Date, relating to the offer and
sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes;
(b) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to
the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number
of copies of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;
(c) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statements as may be necessary to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all Transfer Restricted Notes covered by such registration statement;
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 11
(d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required
in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business
or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions; and
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each
Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform
its obligations under such an agreement.
6. Registration Expenses. Except as set forth in clause (i) of Section
---------------------
3(c), the Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection
with the performance of its obligations under Sections 1, 3 and 4 hereof whether
or not a Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective. In connection
with any Registration Statement, the participating Holders shall be responsible
for the payment of any and all underwriters' and brokers' and dealers'
discounts, selling commissions, any applicable stock transfer taxes and, except
as set forth in clause (i) of Section 3(c) and as set forth below, all fees and
disbursements of counsel, accountants or other advisors for any Holder and any
other fees and expenses not covered by the preceding sentence. In connection
with the Shelf Registration Statement and the applicable Registration Statement
for one (1) Demand Registration, the Company shall bear or reimburse the Holders
of the Notes covered thereby for reasonable fees and disbursements of not more
than one (1) counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders in connection
therewith. For purposes of this Agreement,"Registration Statement" shall mean
----------------------
the Shelf Registration Statement and any applicable registration statement in
connection with Demand and Piggyback Registrations.
7. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of
the Notes, each agent representative, employee, officer and director of any
such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder and such
persons are referred to collectively as the "Indemnified Parties") from and
-------------------
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or
any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of
the Notes) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Registration
Statement, 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, and shall
reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company
-------- -------
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 12
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a
Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Registration
Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Registration Statement, the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Holder from whom the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Notes concerned, to the extent
that a prospectus relating to such Notes was required to be delivered by
such Holder under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and
any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder results from the
fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of such Notes to such person, a copy of
the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof
to such Holder; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement
-------- ------ -------
will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have
to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters,
their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders
of the Notes if requested by such Holders.
(b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its officers, directors and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or
any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Registration Statement, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion
therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding
this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have
to the Company or any of its controlling persons.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a
governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 13
against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than
the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),
and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will
not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal
or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation,
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the
subject matter of such action, and 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. No indemnified party shall effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened action without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying party, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other
from the sale of the Notes, pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (ii)
if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the parties 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 on the one
hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on
the other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of
this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim which is the
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 14
subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 7(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders
from the sale of the Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the
amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any,
who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Company.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 7 shall survive the sale
of the Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
8. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Additional interest (the "Additional Interest") with respect to
-------------------
the Notes (except with respect to (iii) below, which such Additional
Interest shall only apply to the Notes held by the affected Holder(s))
shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each
such event in clauses (i) through (v) below being herein called a
"Registration Default"):
---------------------
(i) If on or prior to the 90th day after the Closing Date (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Shelf Registration Statement
has not been filed with the Commission;
(ii) If on or prior to the 180th day after the Closing Date (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Shelf Registration Statement
has not been declared effective by the Commission;
(iii) The Company fails with respect to a Holder of Notes that
supplies the Notice and Questionnaire described in Section 1(d) above
to amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement in the manner
set forth in Section 1(d) above;
(iv) If after the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective, such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus
ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted
Notes during the periods specified herein because the Company suspends
the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement beyond the
periods set forth in Section 2(h) above;
(v) If after the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective, such Registration Statement or the related prospectus
ceases to be usable in connection
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 15
with resales of Transfer Restricted Notes during the periods specified
herein and the Company fails to cure the Shelf Registration Statement
within fifteen (15) business days by filing a post-effective amendment
or report pursuant to the Exchange Act;
(vi) If on or prior to the 120th day after the Demand
Initiation Date, a registration statement relating to the applicable
Demand Registration has not been filed with the Commission; or
(vii) If on or prior to the 180th day after the Demand
Initiation Date, a registration statement relating to the applicable
Demand Registration has not been declared effective by the Commission.
Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason
for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the
control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any
action or inaction by the Commission.
Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes that are Transfer
Restricted Notes over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Notes
from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur
to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been
cured, at a rate of 0.50% per annum (the "Additional Interest Rate").
------------------------
(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 8(a)(v) hereof shall
be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration
Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-
effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate
annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such
post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared
effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other
material events with respect to the Company that would need to be described
in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in
the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good
faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related
prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if
-------- -------
such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30
days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above
paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such
Registration Default is cured.
(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 8(a)
above will be payable in cash to the "Record Holder" (as defined in Section
-------------
8(d) below) on the "Damages Payment Dates" (as defined in Section 8(d)
---------------------
below) with respect to the Notes. The amount of Additional Interest will
be determined by (1) multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by
the "Applicable Principal Amount" (as defined in Section 8(d) below) and
---------------------------
then (2) multiplying the product of the calculation set forth in (c)(1)
above by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such
Additional
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 16
Interest Rate was applied during such period (determined on the basis of a
360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of
which is 360.
(d) The following terms shall have the following meaning(s):
The term "Applicable Principal Amount" with respect to each $1,000
---------------------------
principal amount of maturity of Notes means the initial issue price of such Note
($1,000) through the next succeeding February 1 or August 1 following such
Registration Default in the case of such payment of Additional Interest with
respect to a Registration Default (and thereafter at the next succeeding
February 1 or August 1 until the cure of such Registration Default) or, if no
Notes are then outstanding, such sum calculated as if such Notes were then
outstanding.
The term "Damages Payment Date" means each February 1 or August 1 in
--------------------
the case of the Notes.
The term "Record Holder" means with respect to any Damages Payment
-------------
Date relating to any Note as to which any Additional Interest has accrued, the
registered holder of such Note, fifteen (15) days prior to the next succeeding
Damages Payment Date.
The term "Transfer Restricted Notes" means each Note until the
-------------------------
earliest of (i) the date on which such Note has been effectively registered
under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf
Registration Statement, (ii) to the extent such Note is held by a non-affiliate
of the Company or ChipPAC, the date on which such Note may be sold by the Holder
thereof to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) to
the extent such Note is held by an affiliate of the Company or ChipPAC, the date
on which such Note is sold by the Holder thereof to the public pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act or (iv) the date on which such Note is saleable by
the Holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the registration rights granted
hereunder shall terminate as to each Holder and with respect to such Notes upon
the date that such Notes are no longer Transfer Restricted Notes.
9. SEC Filings. The Company shall use its best efforts to file the
-----------
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such
reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Notes, make publicly
available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of their
securities pursuant to Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will take such
further action as any Holder of Notes may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Notes without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144. The Company will provide an executed counterpart of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of the Notes identified to the Company by
the Purchaser upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Notes, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 9 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
10. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted
--------------------------
Notes covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 17
investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering
("Managing Underwriters") will be selected by the Holders of a majority in
---------------------
aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Notes to be included in
such offering and such selection shall be subject to the Company's consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted Notes on
the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.
11. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the
date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent or conflicts with the legal rights granted
to the Holders in this Agreement. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any
agreement in effect on the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not be limited or in any way prevented from
entering into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of
any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such
securities that do not conflict with the registration rights of the Holders
hereunder.
(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions
hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Notes
constituting Transfer Restricted Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a
matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Transfer
Restricted Notes whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes may be given by
Holders of at least a majority of the Transfer Restricted Notes being sold
by such Holders pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
--------
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified
-------
or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence; provided, further, without the consent of each Holder,
-------- -------
no amendment, modification or supplement may alter the provisions relating
to the payment of Additional Interest. Each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Notes outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any such
amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to
this Section 11, whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the
Transfer Restricted Notes or is delivered to such Holder. Each Holder may
waive compliance with respect to any obligation of the Company under this
Agreement as it may apply or be enforced by such particular Holder.

shall not inure to the benefit of or be binding upon a successor or assign

-------- -------
nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or any
disposition of Transfer Restricted Notes in violation of the terms of the
Purchase Agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer
Restricted Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
such Transfer Restricted Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of
this Agreement and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Notes
such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and
to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of

(i) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any
such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
(j) Notes Held by the Company. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Notes is required
hereunder, Notes held by the Company or its affiliates (other than the
Purchaser and subsequent
Registration Rights Agreement - Page 20
Holders of Notes if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates
solely by reason of their holdings of such Notes) shall not be counted in
determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of
such required percentage.

correct as of the date hereof. The undersigned will promptly notify the
Company's legal counsel of any changes in such information, whether such change

Company, its legal counsel, and the representatives of any underwriters and

APPENDIX A
1. Arrangement. Any plan, contract, arrangement or understanding,
whether or not set forth in a formal document.
2. Associate. The term "associate" means:
(a) Any corporation or organization, except the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries, of which you are an executive officer or
partner or of which you, together with other officers or directors of the
Company, are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more
of any class of equity securities.
(b) Any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial
beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar
fiduciary capacity.
(c) Any relative, your spouse or any relative of your spouse who
resides with you or who is a director or officer of the Company or its
subsidiaries.
3. Beneficial Owner. A "beneficial owner" of securities is any person
who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship or otherwise has or shares:
(a) Voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the
voting of, such security; and/or,
(b) Investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct
the disposition of, such security.
Furthermore, a "beneficial owner" of a security includes any person who has
the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within
sixty (60) days. The right to acquire beneficial ownership could (but need not
necessarily) be through (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii)
the conversion of a security, (iii) a power to revoke or automatic termination
of a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement, or (iv) otherwise.
A "beneficial owner" also includes any person who, directly or indirectly,
creates or uses a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any
other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting
such person of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of
such beneficial ownership as part of a plan to evade the reporting requirements
of any federal or state securities act.
Securities owned beneficially would include not only securities held by you
for your own benefit, whether in bearer form or registered in your own name or
otherwise, but would also include securities held by others for your benefit or
securities from which you obtain benefits substantially equivalent to those of
ownership (regardless of whether or how they are registered), such as, for
example, securities held for you by banks or other custodians, brokers (whether
in your name, their name or in "street name"), executors, administrators, or
trustees (including trusts in which you have only a remainder interest) and
securities held for your account by pledgees, and securities owned by a
partnership in which you are a member, and securities owned by any corporation
in which you and your associates own 10% or more of the stock. A person is
deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities beneficially owned by his
spouse, his minor children, or any relative sharing his home.
"Indirectly," when used to refer to beneficial ownership of securities,
means ownership through another such as a controlled corporation, member of the
family, estate, trust, partnership or other entity.
