ChipPAC, Inc. Convertible Bonds
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2000 (the “Original Deposit Agreement”), by and among STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (f/k/a ST Assembly Test Services Ltd), a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (the “Company”), Citibank, N.A., as Depositary (Citibank in such capacity, the “Depositary”), and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) issued thereunder, as supplemented by a Letter Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2004 (the “Legended ADS Side Letter”), by and between the Company and the Depositary, concerning the issuance of legended ADSs to certain owners of ChipPAC Class A Common Stock (as defined below), and as further supplemented by a Letter Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2004 (the “Restricted ADS Side Letter,” and the Original Deposit Agreement, as so supplemented by the Legended ADS Side Letter and the Restricted ADS Side Letter, the “Deposit Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Depositary, concerning the issuance of restricted ADSs to holders of certain convertible bonds of ChipPAC (as defined below), each ADS representing 10 ordinary shares, par value S$0.25 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”). All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined in this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Deposit Agreement.
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of February 10, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Camelot Merger, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”), pursuant to which Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged (the “Merger”) with and into ChipPAC on August 4, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), with ChipPAC continuing as the surviving corporation. ChipPAC is a company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware that had issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ChipPAC Class A Common Stock”).
1
As of the Effective Date, each share of ChipPAC Class A Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.87 of an ADS, together with cash-in-lieu of any fractional ADSs to which a holder of ChipPAC Class A Common Stock would otherwise have been entitled.
In two separate prior transactions, ChipPAC issued (i) in a private placement transaction, 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2011 (the “2001 Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2001 (the “Original 2001 Indenture”), between ChipPAC and U.S. Bank National Association (f/k/a Firstar Bank, N.A.), as trustee thereunder, and (ii) in concurrent transactions under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act, 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2008 (the “2003 Notes,” and collectively with the 2001 Notes, the “Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2003 (the “Original 2003 Indenture,” and collectively with the Original 2001 Indenture, the “Original Indentures”), between ChipPAC and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee thereunder. Each of the Notes was, prior to the Effective Date, convertible, at the option of the holder thereof (such holder, a “Converting Noteholder”), into shares of ChipPAC Class A Common Stock, in each case in accordance with terms of the applicable Original Indenture.
In connection with the Merger and as required by the terms of each of the Original Indentures, the Company agreed to assume certain obligations of ChipPAC pursuant to the Original Indentures, as a result of which the Company entered into supplemental indentures, each dated as of the Effective Date (the “Supplemental Indentures”), each among the Company, ChipPAC and the respective Original Indenture trustee with regards to each of the Original Indentures (the Original 2001 Indenture, as so amended by the applicable Supplemental Indenture, the “Amended 2001 Indenture,” and the Original 2003 Indenture, as so amended by the applicable Supplemental Indenture, the “Amended 2003 Indenture,” and together with the Amended 2001 Indenture, the “Amended Indentures”). Pursuant to the terms of each of the Amended Indentures and the Deposit Agreement, Converting Noteholders were entitled to receive Restricted ADSs upon conversion of their Notes evidenced by Restricted ADRs rather than ChipPAC Class A Common Stock. In connection with such issuance of Restricted ADSs, the Company agreed to deposit with the Custodian Shares considered by the Company to be “Restricted Securities” within the meaning given to such term in the Deposit Agreement in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of the corresponding Restricted ADSs.
The Company has guaranteed the obligations of ChipPAC under the Amended 2003 Indenture and the 2003 Notes (the “Guarantee”) pursuant to a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated October 11, 2004 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” and the Amended 2003 Indenture, as so amended by such Second Supplemental Indenture, the “2003 Indenture,” and together with the Amended 2001 Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, ChipPAC and the respective trustee. Pursuant to the terms of each of the Indentures, the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement and except as provided below, Converting Noteholders will continue to be entitled to receive Restricted ADSs upon conversion of their Notes (the Restricted ADSs to be received by holders of the 2001 Notes, the “2001 Conversion Restricted ADSs,” and the Restricted ADSs to be received by holders of the 2003 Notes, the “2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs,” and collectively with the 2001 Conversion Restricted ADSs, the “Conversion Restricted ADSs”) evidenced by Restricted ADRs (the Restricted ADRs evidencing
2
the 2001 Conversion Restricted ADSs, the “2001 Conversion Restricted ADRs,” and the Restricted ADRs evidencing the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs, the “2003 Conversion Restricted ADRs,” and collectively with the 2001 Conversion Restricted ADRs, the “Conversion Restricted ADRs”). In connection with such issuance of Conversion Restricted ADSs, the Company will deposit with the Custodian Shares considered by the Company to be “Restricted Securities” within the meaning given to such term in the Deposit Agreement (the Shares underlying the 2001 Conversion Restricted ADRs, the “2001 Conversion Restricted Shares,” and the Shares underlying the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADRs, the “2003 Conversion Restricted Shares,” and collectively with the 2001 Conversion Restricted Shares, the “Conversion Restricted Shares”) in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of the corresponding Conversion Restricted ADSs. It is the intent of the Company and the Depositary that Converting Noteholders who convert their 2003 Notes will receive 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs rather than freely transferable ADS for so long as the Shares to be deposited with the Custodian are considered “Restricted Securities” within the meaning given such term in the Deposit Agreement.
In addition, the Company and ChipPAC plan to file a Resale Registration Statement on Form F-3/S-3 (File No. , File No. ) to register (i) the resale of the 2003 Notes, (ii) the Guarantee, and (iii) the resale of the Shares underlying the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the 2003 Notes.
The purpose and intent of this Letter Agreement is to amend and restate the Restricted ADS Side Letter and to supplement the Deposit Agreement for purposes of establishing, under the terms of Section 2.12 of the Deposit Agreement, procedures for the issuance, upon conversion of Notes by Converting Noteholders, of Conversion Restricted ADSs or freely transferable ADSs, as the case may be, and the delivery of Conversion Restricted ADSs to Converting Noteholders in the form of Conversion Restricted ADRs, upon the terms and conditions of the applicable Indentures and this Letter Agreement. The Company and the Depositary agree that this Letter Agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to the next Registration Statement on Form F-6 filed with the Commission in respect of the ADSs and, if applicable, shall be filed by the Company with governmental authorities in Singapore in accordance with applicable Singapore laws and regulations.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Depositary hereby agree, as follows:
3

B. Conversion of 2003 Notes
The Company and the Depositary hereby confirm and agree that (i) the Company shall procure all Converting Noteholders who desire to convert their 2003 Notes and receive 2003 Conversion Restricted ADRs (and the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby) or freely transferable ADSs, as described below, to provide the Depositary with a duly completed and signed conversion notice, including the deposit certifications included therein, substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit C hereto (the “2003 Note Conversion Notice”), and (ii) all Holders who desire to cancel their 2003 Conversion Restricted ADRs (and the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby) and withdraw the underlying 2003 Conversion Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement will be required at the time of any surrender of 2003 Conversion Restricted ADRs (and the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby) to provide the Depositary with a duly completed and signed withdrawal certification substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit D hereto (the “2003 Conversion Withdrawal Certification”) and to comply with the procedures set forth in Section (C)(7) below.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Converting Noteholder will receive freely transferable ADSs upon the conversion of its 2003 Note(s) in the event such Converting Noteholder (i) immediately sells the ADSs received upon conversion of its 2003 Note(s) to a third party pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) acquired such 2003 Note(s) in a sale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as indicated by such Converting Noteholder in the 2003 Note Conversion Notice it delivered in connection with its conversion request.
4
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Depositary shall have no obligation to issue any 2003 Conversion Restricted ADR (or the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby) or freely transferable ADSs, as the case may be, until and unless it has received a fully and properly completed 2003 Note Conversion Notice.
C. Procedures Accommodating the Issuance, Transfer and Cancellation of ADSs
1. Deposits. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company requests the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Letter Agreement, to establish procedures to enable (i) the deposit of Conversion Restricted Shares with the Custodian by the Company in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of the corresponding Conversion Restricted ADSs to the applicable Converting Noteholder for delivery in the form of Conversion Restricted ADRs, (ii) the deposit of Shares with the Custodian by the Company in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of the corresponding freely transferable ADSs to the applicable Converting Noteholder, and (iii) the transfer of the Conversion Restricted ADRs (and the Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby), the removal of the transfer and other restrictions with respect to the Conversion Restricted ADRs (and the Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby) in order to create unrestricted ADRs (and ADSs evidenced thereby), and the cancellation of Conversion Restricted ADSs and the withdrawal of the applicable Conversion Restricted Shares, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by the terms of this Letter Agreement.
The Company agrees that, upon deposit of the applicable Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, as the case may be, by the Company upon conversion of the 2001 Notes or the 2003 Notes by Converting Noteholders, the Company will notify the Custodian that such deposit of Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, as the case may be, is in connection with the conversion of the 2001 Notes or the 2003 Notes, as the case may be, including in such notice to the Custodian the relevant CUSIP number for the Note(s) converted. The Company agrees that the Converting Noteholders shall be entitled, upon conversion, only to a number of the applicable Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, as the case may be, to be represented by an integral number of Conversion Restricted ADSs or freely transferable ADS, respectively. Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, as the case may be, which would be represented by a fraction of one Conversion Restricted ADS or freely transferable ADS shall not be issuable, and such holders will receive cash adjustments in respect of such fractions from the Company.

4. Limitations on Issuance of ADSs. The Company hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Letter Agreement, and notwithstanding the terms of the Deposit Agreement, to issue and deliver to the applicable Converting Noteholder the Conversion Restricted ADSs (in the form of Conversion Restricted ADRs) or freely transferable ADSs, as the case may be, issued in respect of the Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, respectively, deposited by the Company upon satisfaction by the applicable Converting Noteholder of the conditions set forth in the applicable Indenture, only upon receipt from the Company (or any of its designated agents) of a deposit of the applicable number of Conversion Restricted Shares or Shares, as the case may be.
The Company hereby confirms and agrees that (i) it will not deposit any Shares upon conversion of any 2001 Note or any 2003 Note, as the case may be, unless the issuance of the 2001 Conversion Restricted ADSs, the 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs or freely transferable ADSs, as applicable, to the relevant Converting Noteholder is a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and (ii) it will not deposit any Shares upon conversion of the 2003 Notes in the event any of such Notes are converted in connection with a request for conversion (a) and immediate sale of the applicable Conversion Restricted ADSs pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement, or (b) of a 2003 Note that was acquired in a sale pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement, unless and until such Resale Registration Statement has been filed and declared effective and will not honor any such request for conversion if (x) the applicable Resale Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, or (y) the Resale Registration Statement no longer satisfies the requirements of the Securities Act.

NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE DEPOSITARY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR RESALE OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES OR THE RESTRICTED AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES. A COPY OF THE |
8
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT AND OF THE LETTER AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DEPOSITARY OR THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST.” |

8. Limitations On Exchange of Conversion Restricted ADSs. The Company instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to cancel Conversion Restricted ADRs and the Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby and to issue and deliver freely transferable ADSs in respect thereof upon receipt of (i) the Conversion Restricted ADRs (duly endorsed and accompanied by the requisite signature guarantees, if so required under the terms of the Deposit Agreement), (ii) a duly completed and signed Resale Certification, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1, in the case of holders of 2001 Conversion Restricted ADSs, or Exhibit E-2, in the case of holders of 2003 Conversion Restricted ADSs (each, as applicable, a “Resale Certification”), and (iii) any other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Depositary under the terms of the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement.
9. Fungibility. Except as contemplated in this Letter Agreement and except as required by applicable law, the Conversion Restricted ADRs and the Conversion Restricted ADSs evidenced thereby shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law and to the maximum extent practicable, be treated as ADRs and ADSs issued and outstanding under the terms of the Deposit Agreement that are not Conversion Restricted ADRs and Conversion Restricted ADSs, respectively. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the Depositary to treat holders of Conversion Restricted ADRs on terms more favorable than those accorded to holders of ADRs under the Deposit Agreement.
10. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants that (a) the Conversion Restricted Shares and the Shares, as the case may be, being deposited are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and all preemptive

Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of the Conversion Restricted Shares or the Shares, as the case may be, the issuance, cancellation and transfer of Conversion Restricted ADSs or freely transferable ADSs, as the case may be, and the issuance, delivery, cancellation and transfer of Conversion Restricted ADRs or freely transferable ADRs, as the case may by.
