RE: Conditional Agreement Reached on Conversion of Debt to Equity
Dear Dr. ▇▇▇:
On Friday, January 15, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ Instruments, ORIX Leasing and our
secured creditor Motorola conditionally agreed to a debt-for-equity conversion
essentially as outlined in the proposal submitted by Microelectronic Packaging,
Inc. ("MPI") and its investment banker and financial advisors, L. H, Friend,
Weinress, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. ("LH Friend"). The acceptance of the
attached proposal by these creditors is conditional upon agreement of the same
proposal by the majority of the remaining creditors. In addition, in fairness
to all seven creditors and due to financial constraints, MPI could not complete
this conversion without the acceptance by all of the creditors.
We are hopeful that NS Electronics ("NSEB") will accept the attached proposal.
If you agree, your acceptance of this proposal will, of course, be subject to 1)
the completion and execution of a definitive agreement to be drafted by MPI's
legal counsel, and 2) the approval by MPI's shareholders. MPI will obtain a
fairness opinion relating to conversion on these terms from LH Friend, and MPI
anticipates its shareholders will approve the conversion at a special meeting of
shareholders to be held in mid to late March, 1999.
In the attached proposal summary, MPI will convert the Asian debt into MPI
Preferred Stock which will be convertible into MPI Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis at $0.51 per share. Considering NSEB's Settled Debt amount of
US$276,600.00, NSEB would receive sufficient Preferred Stock to convert into a
minimum of 542,353 shares of MPI Common Stock. For your information, MPI's
common shares closed at US$0.47 on Friday, January 15, 1999 and traded as high
as US$0.63 last week.

Now that Transpac, Texas Instruments, ORIX Leasing and our secured creditor
Motorola has conditionally agreed to this proposal, we need your concurrence by
signing your acceptance at the bottom of this letter. As indicated, we will
immediately commence preparation of the legal documents for you and your legal
advisors' review. All creditors will receive the identical conversion rate of
US$0.51 per share; this will be so noted in the agreement between MPI and each
creditor.
Thank you kindly for all your help in our efforts to complete this debt-for-
equity conversion. Please call me at ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, extension 3014 if you have
any questions or desire further information.
Best Regards,
