(50%) of the Shareholder Shares owned by such Group immediately following the

condition to its direct or indirect ownership of Capital Stock.
(f) Each director shall be given advance notice of any meeting of the
Board of Directors in accordance with the Bylaws (or, in the case of any Sub

2. Restrictions on Transfer of Shareholder Shares.
(a) Transfer of Shareholder Shares. No holder of Shareholder Shares
(other than the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group) shall sell, transfer, assign,
pledge or otherwise dispose of (whether directly or indirectly, whether with or
without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation
of law) any interest in any Shareholder Shares (a "Transfer"), except Transfers
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b), 2(c), 2(d),
2(e) or 3 of this Agreement; it being agreed and understood that nothing in this
Section 2(a) shall relieve any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group from
any of their obligations in Section 2(b) below.
(b) Participation Rights.
(i) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, at
least thirty (30) days prior to any Transfer of shares of any class of Capital
Stock by any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group (the "Transferring
Shareholder") (other than a Transfer among the members of the Xxxx Group or
their Affiliates, among the members of the SXI Group or their Affiliates or to
an employee or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries), the Transferring
Shareholder will deliver a written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and
the other Shareholders (the "Other
5
Shareholders"), specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective
transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. Notwithstanding the
restrictions contained in this Section 2, any or all of the Other Shareholders
may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written
notice to the Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) days after delivery of
the Sale Notice. If any Other Shareholder has elected to participate in such
Transfer (each such Other Shareholder, a "Participating Shareholder"), each of
the Transferring Shareholder and the Participating Shareholders will be entitled
to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a
number of shares of such class of Capital Stock equal to the product of (A) the
quotient determined by dividing the number of shares of such class of Capital
Stock owned by such Participating Shareholder by the aggregate number of shares
of such class of Capital Stock owned by the Transferring Shareholder and all
Participating Shareholders and (B) the number of shares of such class of Capital
Stock to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that the Transferring Shareholder intends to Transfer shares of more
than one class of Capital Stock, the Participating Shareholders shall be
required to sell in the contemplated Transfer a pro rata portion of shares of
all such classes of Capital Stock (to the extent the Participating Shareholders
own any shares of such other classes of Capital Stock), which portion shall be
determined in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
For example (by way of illustration only), if the Sale Notice
contemplated a sale of 100 shares of Class A Common by the
Transferring Shareholder, and if the Transferring Shareholder at such
time owns 30% of the Class A Common and if one Participating
Shareholder elects to participate and owns 20% of the Class A Common
(and all other Shareholders choose not to participate), then the
Transferring Shareholder would be entitled to sell 60 shares (30% /
50% x 100 shares) and the Participating Shareholder would be entitled
to sell 40 shares (20% / 50% x 100 shares).
(ii) The Transferring Shareholder will use reasonable best efforts to
obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of
the Participating Shareholders in any contemplated Transfer, and the
Transferring Shareholder will not effect any Transfer of any of its shares of
Capital Stock to the prospective transferee(s) unless (A) simultaneously with
such Transfer, the prospective transferee or transferees purchase from each
Participating Shareholder the shares of Capital Stock which such Participating
Shareholder is entitled to sell to such prospective transferee(s) pursuant to
Section 2(b)(i) above or (B) simultaneously with such Transfer, the Transferring
Shareholder purchases (on the same terms and conditions on which such shares
were sold to the transferee(s)) the number of shares of such class of Capital
Stock from each Participating Shareholder which such Participating Shareholder
would have been entitled to sell pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) above.
(c) Right of First Refusal.
6
(i) From and after the fifth anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, in the event that the Hyundai Shares represent five percent (5%) or
less of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, any member of the
Hyundai Group shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of the Hyundai
Shares held by any such Person to any third Person other than a Competitor (as
defined below) in accordance with this Section 2(c). For purposes of this
Section 2(c), the term "Competitor" means any Person that, directly or
indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, participates in providing
products or services in the semiconductor business or any other business in
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are engaged in at the time of such
proposed Transfer anywhere in the world. For purposes of this Section 2(c), the
term "participates" includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise,
whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent,
representative, independent contractor, consultant, owner or otherwise; provided
that the passive ownership of 5% or less of the outstanding stock of any
publicly traded corporation shall not constitute "participation" in any such
business.
(ii) At least fifteen (15) days prior to any Transfer of any Hyundai
Shares pursuant to this Section 2(c), the member of the Hyundai Group proposing
to make such Transfer (the "Transferring Hyundai Shareholder") shall deliver a
written notice (the "Hyundai Sale Notice") to the Xxxx Group and the SXI Group
(the "Recipient Shareholders") and to the Company, specifying in reasonable
detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number of Hyundai
Shares to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
First, each Recipient Shareholder may elect to purchase all or any portion of
such holder's Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Hyundai Shares specified
in the Hyundai Sale Notice at the price and on the other terms specified therein
by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Hyundai
Shareholder and the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
Hyundai Sale Notice by the Company. For purposes of Section 2(c) and 2(d), each
Recipient Shareholder's "Pro Rata Share" shall be based upon such Shareholder's
proportionate ownership of all Shareholder Shares owned by all Recipient
Shareholders. Any Hyundai Shares not elected to be purchased by the end of such
15-day period shall be reoffered during the five-day period immediately
following the expiration of the aforementioned 15-day period by the Transferring
Hyundai Shareholder on a pro rata basis to the Recipient Shareholders who have
elected to purchase their Pro Rata Share. If the Recipient Shareholders have
not elected to purchase all of the Hyundai Shares specified in the Hyundai Sale
Notice within such twenty (20) day period (i.e., the sum of the previously
aforementioned fifteen and five day periods), the Company may elect to purchase
all or any portion of the remaining Hyundai Shares specified in the Hyundai Sale
Notice at the price and on the other terms specified therein by delivering
written notice of such election to the Transferring Hyundai Shareholder within
30 days after receipt of the Hyundai Sale Notice by the Company. If the
Company or any Recipient Shareholders have elected to purchase Hyundai Shares
from the Transferring Hyundai Shareholder, the transfer of such shares shall be
consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to
the Transferring Hyundai Shareholder, but in any event within 30 days after
receipt of the Hyundai Sale Notice by the Company. If prior to the expiration
of such 30 day period the Company and the Recipient Shareholders have not
elected to purchase all of the Hyundai Shares being offered, the Transferring
Hyundai Shareholder may, within 90 days after the Company's
7
receipt of the Hyundai Sale Notice, transfer such remaining Hyundai Shares to
one or more third Persons (other than a Competitor) at a price no less than the
price per share specified in the Hyundai Sale Notice and on other terms no more
favorable to the transferees thereof than offered to the Company and the
Recipient Shareholders in the Hyundai Sale Notice. Any Hyundai Shares not
transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to the Recipient
Shareholders and the Company in accordance with this Section 2(c) prior to any
subsequent Transfer.
(d) Regulatory First Offer Right.
(i) In the event that it becomes necessary or desirable for Intel to
make a Transfer of Intel Shares in order to comply with any applicable law or
any rule or regulation of any governmental or regulatory authority or in the
event the Company fails to make any redemption of any Class A Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share, held by Intel required pursuant to Section 4 of
Attachment I to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (irrespective of any
legal or contractual restrictions prohibiting any such redemption), Intel shall
have the right to Transfer all or any portion of the Intel Shares to any third
Person other than a Packaging Competitor (as defined below) in accordance with
this Section 2(d). For purposes of this Section 2(d), the term "Packaging
Competitor" means any Person that, directly or indirectly, either for itself or
for any other Person, participates to a significant extent in the semiconductor
merchant assembly or test business anywhere in the world (i.e., 40% or more of
its annual revenues are derived from such business). For purposes of this
Section 2(d), the term "participates" includes any direct or indirect interest
in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole
proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, owner or
otherwise; provided that neither (i) the passive ownership of 10% or less of the
outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation nor (ii) being a customer
or supplier of any person or entity shall constitute "participation" in any such
business.
(ii) At least 20 business days prior to making any such Transfer of
Intel Shares pursuant to this Section 2(d), Intel shall deliver a written notice
(the "Intel Offer Notice") to the Recipient Shareholders (as defined in Section
2(c) above) and the Company. The Intel Offer Notice shall disclose in
reasonable detail the proposed number of Intel Shares to be transferred and the
proposed sale price, terms and conditions of the Transfer. First, each
Recipient Shareholder may elect to purchase all or any portion of such holder's
Pro Rata Share of the Intel Shares specified in the Intel Offer Notice at the
price and on the other terms specified therein by delivering written notice of
such election to Intel and the Company within ten (10) business days after
receipt of the Intel Offer Notice by the Company. Any Intel Shares not elected
to be purchased by the end of such ten (10) business day period shall be
reoffered during the five business day period immediately following the
expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) business day period by Intel on a pro
rata basis to the Recipient Shareholders who have elected to purchase their Pro
Rata Share. If the Recipient Shareholders have not elected to purchase all of
the Intel Shares specified in the Intel Offer Notice within such fifteen (15)
business day period (i.e., the sum of the previously aforementioned ten (10) and
five (5) business day periods), the Company may elect to purchase all or any
portion of the remaining Intel Shares specified in the Intel Offer Notice at the
price and on the other terms
8
specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to Intel within
20 business days after receipt of the Intel Offer Notice by the Company, it
being understood that Intel shall not be obligated to sell such Intel Shares to
the Company and the Recipient Shareholders unless the Company and the Recipient
Shareholders, in the aggregate, have elected to purchase all of the Intel Shares
specified in such Intel Offer Notice. If the Company or any Recipient
Shareholders have elected to purchase Intel Shares from Intel, the transfer of
such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the
election notice(s) to Intel, but in any event within 30 business days after
receipt of the Intel Offer Notice by the Company (or such longer period of time
as may be required pursuant to applicable law). If the Company and the Recipient
Shareholders do not elect within the aforementioned 20 business day period to
purchase all of the Intel Shares being offered, Intel may, within 60 days after
the Company's receipt of the Intel Offer Notice, transfer such Intel Shares to
one or more third Persons (other than a Packaging Competitor) at a price no less
than 95% of the price per share specified in the Intel Offer Notice and on other
terms no more favorable to the transferees thereof than offered to the Company
and the Recipient Shareholders in the Intel Offer Notice. Any Intel Shares not
transferred within such 60-day period shall be reoffered to the Recipient
Shareholders and the Company in accordance with this Section 2(d) prior to any
subsequent Transfer.
(e) Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in
Section 2(a) will not apply to any Transfer of Shareholder Shares by any
Shareholder (i) among its Affiliates, (ii) pursuant to an Approved Sale, (iii)
pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution or among such
Shareholder's Family Group or (iv) pursuant to Section 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d)
hereof; provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue
to apply to the Shareholder Shares after any Transfer pursuant to clause (i),
(iii) or (iv) above and each transferee of such Shareholder Shares shall agree
in writing, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer,
to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, without modification or
condition, subject only to the consummation of the Transfer. Upon the Transfer
of Shareholder Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e), the transferor will deliver
a written notice to the Company and the other parties to this Agreement, which
notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee(s) and
shall include an original counterpart of the agreement of such transferee(s) to
be bound by this Agreement.
(f) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this
Section 2 shall continue with respect to each Shareholder Share until the
earlier of (i) the consummation of an Approved Sale and (ii) the consummation of
a Qualifying IPO.
3. Sale of the Company.
(a) If the holders of at least a majority of the Xxxx Shares and the
holders of at least a majority of the SXI Shares (the "Requisite Holders")
approve (and, in the case of any sale or other fundamental change or
extraordinary transaction which requires the approval of the board of directors
of a California corporation pursuant to the California Corporations Code, the
Board shall
9
have approved such sale) a sale of all or substantially all (as defined in the
Revised Model Business Corporation Act) of the Company's assets determined on a
consolidated basis or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
outstanding capital stock (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation,
reorganization, combination or otherwise) to any Independent Third Party or
group of Independent Third Parties, and the Board shall have received a written
opinion of an internationally recognized investment banking firm (which firm
shall have been selected by the Board), acting as an independent financial
advisor to the Board, to the effect that the consideration to be received by the
Company or its shareholders (as the case may be) in such transaction is fair to
the Company or its shareholders (as the case may be), from a financial point of
view (collectively an "Approved Sale"), each holder of Shareholder Shares will
consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved
Sale is structured as (i) a merger or consolidation, each holder of Shareholder
Shares will waive any dissenter's rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in
connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) a sale of stock, each
holder of Shareholder Shares will agree to sell all of its Shareholder Shares
and rights to acquire Shareholder Shares on the terms and conditions approved by
the Board and the Requisite Holders; it being understood and agreed that in the
event one of the terms of such sale provides for joint and several liability for
post-closing indemnification obligations, the Xxxx Group and the SXI Group shall
enter into a contribution agreement with Intel and the members of the Hyundai
Group which provides that each party to such contribution agreement shall bear
any such indemnification obligations pro rata according to each such party's
percentage interest in the proceeds of such Approved Sale. Each holder of
Shareholder Shares will take all necessary or desirable actions in connection
with the consummation of the Approved Sale as requested by the Requisite Holders
and the Company.
(b) The obligations of the holders of Capital Stock with respect to an
Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i)
upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each holder of Capital Stock will
receive the same form of consideration and the same portion of the aggregate
consideration that such holders of Capital Stock would have received if such
aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete
liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Company's
Articles of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to such Approved Sale,
(ii) if any holder of a class of Capital Stock is given an option as to the form
and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of such class of Capital
Stock will be given the same option; (iii) each holder of then currently
exercisable rights to acquire shares of a class of Capital Stock will be given
an opportunity to exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Approved
Sale and participate in such sale as holders of such class of Capital Stock;
(iv) neither Intel nor (except to the knowledge of the Hyundai Director or the
Additional Hyundai Director, if any) any member of the Hyundai Group shall be
obligated to make any general representations and warranties concerning the
business and affairs of the Company (but each shall bear a portion of the
indemnification obligations with respect thereto, subject to the other terms and
conditions of this Section 3), it being understood that Intel and the Hyundai
Group would be expected to make customary representations and warranties with
respect to its ownership of their respective Shareholder Shares (e.g., title to
stock, authorization, etc.); (v) Intel's and the Hyundai Group's indemnification
obligations in connection with an Approved Sale shall not exceed their
10
respective distributable proceeds in connection with such transaction; and (vi)
neither Intel nor any member of the Hyundai Group shall be obligated to amend or
take any other actions with respect to its then existing contractual
relationships with the Company or the purchaser of the Company.
(c) If the Company or the holders of the Company's securities enter
into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then
in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission may be
available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger,
consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Shareholder Shares will,
at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term
is defined in Rule 501 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission)
reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Shareholder Shares
appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company will
pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Shareholder
Shares declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the
Company, such holder will appoint another purchaser representative, and such
holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so
appointed.
(d) Each holder of Shareholder Shares will bear a pro-rata share
(based upon the number of shares of Common Stock sold by such holder in relation
to the number of shares of Common Stock sold by all holders in such Approved
Sale) of the costs paid to any third party in connection with any sale of
Shareholder Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are
incurred for the benefit of all holders of Capital Stock and are not otherwise
paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by holders of
Shareholder Shares on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the
transaction hereunder.
(e) The provisions of this Section 3 shall terminate upon the
consummation of a Qualifying IPO.
4. Preemptive Rights.
(a) If the Company proposes to issue and sell any of its shares of
Capital Stock or any securities containing options or rights to acquire any
shares of Capital Stock or any securities convertible into shares of Capital
Stock to any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group or their respective
Affiliates, the Company will first offer to each of the other Shareholders a
portion of the number or amount of such securities proposed to be sold in any
such transaction or series of related transactions equal to the product of the
percentage each such other Shareholder holds of all shares of Common Stock
(including for purposes hereof, any shares of Common Stock then issuable with
respect to the Company's Class A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share) then
held by all of the Company's Shareholders by the number of shares proposed to be
issued and sold by the Company in any such transaction or series of related
transactions, all for the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as
the securities that are being offered to any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI
Group and their respective Affiliates in such transaction or series of
transactions; provided that if all Shareholders entitled to purchase or receive
such stock or securities are required to also
11
purchase other securities of the Company, the Shareholders exercising their
rights pursuant to this Section 4 shall also be required to purchase the same
strip of securities (on the same terms and conditions) that such other
Shareholders are required to purchase. For purposes of this Section 4 only, the
term Capital Stock shall include any capital stock of any Subsidiary of the
Company and any other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of
the Company's or its Subsidiaries' capital stock.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4
shall not be applicable to the issuance of shares of Capital Stock (i) upon the
conversion of shares of one class of Capital Stock into shares of another class,
(ii) as a dividend on the outstanding shares of Capital Stock, (iii) in any
transaction in respect of a security that is available to all holders of such
security on a pro rata basis, (iv) in connection with the grant or exercise of
stock or options to employees or directors of the Company or (v) in a public
offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective
by, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act; and
further, the provisions of this Section 4 shall terminate upon the occurrence of
a Qualifying IPO.
(c) The Company will cause to be given to the Shareholders a written
notice setting forth the terms and conditions upon which the Shareholders may
purchase such shares or other securities (the "Preemptive Notice"). After
receiving a Preemptive Notice, a Shareholder wishing to exercise the preemptive
rights granted by this Section 4 must give notice to the Company in writing,
within fifteen (15) days after the date that such Preemptive Notice is deemed
given pursuant to Section 19, that such Shareholder irrevocably agrees to
purchase the shares or other securities offered pursuant to this Section 4 on
the date of sale to any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group or any of such
member's respective Affiliates (the "Preemptive Reply"). If any Shareholder
fails to make a Preemptive Reply in accordance with this Section 4, shares or
other securities offered to such Shareholder in accordance with this Section 4
may thereafter, for a period not exceeding six months following the expiration
of such 15-day period, be issued, sold or subjected to rights or options to any
member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group or any of such member's respective
Affiliates at a price not less than ninety percent (90%) of the price at which
they were offered to the Shareholders. Any such shares or other securities not
so issued, sold or subjected to rights or options to any member of the Xxxx
Group or the SXI Group or any of such member's respective Affiliates during such
six-month period will thereafter again be subject to the preemptive rights
provided for in this Section 4.
5. Affiliate Transactions. Until the earlier of (i) the
consummation of a Qualifying IPO and (ii) the first date on which neither the
Xxxx Group nor the SXI Group holds twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock and no member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI
Group has the right to designate directors pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii), the
Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any
transaction with any member of the Xxxx Group or the SXI Group or any of their
respective Affiliates, except for any transaction with any such Person which is
not substantially less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary as would be
obtainable by the Company or such Subsidiary at the time in a comparable
12
arm's-length transaction with an unaffiliated Person; provided that any
transaction contemplated by (i) those certain advisory agreements dated the date
hereof between the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and each of Xxxx Capital,
Inc. and SXI Group LLC or their respective designees (it being agreed and
understood that the advisory fees paid or payable pursuant to paragraph 3
thereof which are not subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section
5 shall be capped in an amount equal to those described in the proviso to the
first sentence of paragraph 3 of each such advisory agreement) and (ii) that
certain Registration Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and
certain of its stockholders, in any such case, shall not be subject to this
Section 5.
6. Legend; Securities Law Matters.
(a) Each certificate evidencing Shareholder Shares and each
certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Shareholder
Shares (if such shares remain Shareholder Shares as defined herein after such
Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form (which legend shall be removed and new unlegended
certificates issued in the event that the shares represented thereby have been
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act):
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED
ON AUGUST __, 1999 AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TRANSFER AND VOTING RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO A
SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST __, 1999, AMONG THE ISSUER OF
SUCH SECURITIES (THE "COMPANY") AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS.
A COPY OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY
THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST."
The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Shareholder
Shares outstanding prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall
be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be
Shareholder Shares in accordance with Section 8 hereof.
(b) In connection with the Transfer of any Shareholder Shares, the
holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in
reasonable detail the Transfer or proposed Transfer, together with, if so
requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel which (to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in securities law matters to the
effect that such Transfer of Shareholder Shares may be effected without
registration of such Shareholder Shares under the Securities Act. In addition,
if the holder of the Shareholder Shares delivers to the
13
Company an opinion of such counsel that no subsequent Transfer of such
Shareholder Shares shall require registration under the Securities Act, the
Company shall promptly upon such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates
for such securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in
subparagraph (a). If the Company is not required to deliver new certificates for
such Shareholder Shares not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not
effect any Transfer of the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed
to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained
in this subparagraph and subparagraph (a).
(c) Upon the request of any Shareholder, the Company shall promptly
supply to such Shareholder or its prospective transferees all information
regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a Transfer
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(d) If any Shareholder Shares become eligible for sale pursuant to
Rule 144(k) of the Securities and Exchange Commission or no longer constitute
"restricted securities" (as defined under Rule 144(a) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission), the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such
Shareholder Shares, remove the legend set forth in subparagraph (a) from the
certificates for such securities.
7. Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Shareholder Shares (other
than in a Public Sale permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or in an Approved Sale) to any Person, the transferring Shareholder
shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and
the other Shareholders a counterpart of this Agreement and thereafter all
references to the transferring Shareholder shall be deemed to refer to the
transferee and all references to the transferring Shareholder's Group shall be
deemed to include the transferee, except that (i) the rights of the Hyundai
Group set forth in Section 1 and Section 2(c) shall only inure to the benefit of
Hyundai Electronics America and its Affiliates and shall not be transferable or
otherwise assignable and (ii) the rights of Intel set forth in Section 2(d)

transferable or otherwise assignable.

OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE CO-
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN

or instrument entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and
any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of
a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original
agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal
effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At
the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each
other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and
deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or
instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or

resorting to judicial process if injunctive or other equitable relief from a
court is available to prevent irreparable injury to one party or to others or to
the extent no adequate remedy is available at law. The use of arbitration
procedures will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or
estoppel to affect adversely any party's right to assert any claim or defense.
