AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.

2009 VOTING AGREEMENT

This Voting Agreement (this “AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of March 26, 2009 by and among Amkor Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “COMPANY”), James J. Kim (“MR. KIM”), and 915 Investments, LP (collectively, the “INVESTORS”). Capitalized terms contained and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

A. The Company proposes to issue up to $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “NOTES”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “COMMON STOCK”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement (the “PURCHASE AGREEMENT”) of even date herewith (the “FINANCING”), of which Investors will purchase at least $150 million in aggregate principal amount and up to $200 million in aggregate principal amount.

B. Investors and their affiliates are the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “EXCHANGE ACT”); all references in this Agreement to “beneficial ownership” or like terms shall be deemed to be references to beneficial ownership by Investors, their affiliates and other persons or entities with whom they are acting in concert as so defined) of such number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and such number of shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of notes, as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

C. In consideration of the execution of the Purchase Agreement by the Company, Investors (in their capacity as such) have agreed to vote the Shares (as defined below) over which Investors have voting power, in the manner set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. SHARES. During the term of this Agreement, Investors agree to vote all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes (the “SHARES”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Shares shall not include any securities of the Company of which Investors are the beneficial owners immediately prior to the Closing of the Financing or any securities of the Company acquired by Investors other than upon conversion of the Notes subsequent to the date of this Agreement. In this regard, the parties recognize that certain shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s 6.25% convertible Subordinated notes due 2013 are subject to a Voting Agreement dated as of November 18, 2005 by and among the Company, Mr. Kim and the other Investors named therein (the “2005 Voting Agreement”). The parties hereto agree that the obligations of Mr. Kim and the Company under the 2005 Voting Agreement shall not be affected by the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.

2. VOTING. Until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof, Investors agree to vote and cause to be voted all Shares beneficially owned, either directly or indirectly, by them in a neutral manner on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote, whether required by the Company’s charter or bylaws, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the election of directors or a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below); provided, however, that to the extent that the Investors and their affiliates shall beneficially own, in the aggregate, securities of the Company representing less than forty-one and six-tenths percent (41.6%) of the then-outstanding voting power of the Company, then the Investors shall not be required to vote in a neutral manner such number of the Shares equal to the difference of (i) (x) the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date set for any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders of the Company multiplied by (y) .416, less (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investors in the aggregate on the record date set for such stockholder vote other than the Shares. In such instances, the Investors shall be entitled to vote a number of Shares in a non-neutral manner in direct proportion to such Investors’ beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “neutral manner” means in the same proportion to all other outstanding voting securities of the Company (excluding any and all voting securities beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Investors) that are actually voted on a proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval. By way of example only, if 100,000 voting securities that are not beneficially owned by Investors are cast with 60,000 of such shares voting “For” a proposal, 30,000 of such shares voting “Against” a proposal, and

 

1


10,000 of such shares abstaining, Investors shall vote sixty percent (60%) of the Shares “For” the proposal, thirty percent (30%) “Against” the proposal and abstain with respect to ten percent (10%) of the Shares. The term “vote” shall include any exercise of voting rights whether at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

3. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) such time as no principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding and the Investors or their affiliates no longer beneficially own any Shares; (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction; or (iii) the mutual agreement of the Company and Investors. “CHANGE OF CONTROL TRANSACTION” means either (a) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, tender offer, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) that results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to represent immediately after such transaction or series of transactions (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the entity that controls such surviving entity) a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or the entity that controls such surviving entity; provided, however, that the Financing or conversion of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a Change of Control Transaction; or (b) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

4. ADDITIONAL SHARES. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities (other than pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction) are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification or consolidation involving the Company, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Shares for purposes of this Agreement.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS. Investors hereby represent and warrant to the Company that, as of the date hereof, (i) Investors are the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock, and the options, warrants and other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, with full power to vote or direct the voting of the Shares for and on behalf of all beneficial owners of the Shares; (ii) the Shares, when issued, will be free and clear of any liens, pledges, security interests, claims, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, charges or other encumbrances of any kind or nature (other than pursuant to the terms of restricted stock agreements as in effect on the date hereof); (iii) Investors do not beneficially own any voting securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, and options, warrants and other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement; (iv) Investors have and will have full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement; (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Investors will not violate any agreement or court order to which the Notes or Shares are subject, including, without limitation, any voting agreement or voting trust; and (vi) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Investors and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Investors, enforceable against Investors in accordance with its terms.

6. LEGENDING OF SHARES. If so requested by the Company, Investors hereby agree that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement.

7. FIDUCIARY DUTIES. Investors are signing this Agreement solely in their capacity as an owner of their respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude Mr. Kim from taking or not taking any action in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

            (c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements entered into among Delaware residents to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

            (d) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

            (e) Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of its corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other powers, all such other and additional instruments (including proxies) and documents and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.

            (f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.

            (g) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that (i) the representations, warranties, covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement are necessary, fundamental and required for the protection of the Company and its stockholders and to preserve for the Company and its stockholders the benefits of the Financing; (ii) such covenants relate to matters which are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character that gives each such representation, warranty, covenant and restriction a special, unique, and extraordinary value; and (iii) a breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or restriction, or any other term or provision of this Agreement, will result in irreparable harm and damages to the Company which cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award.

The rights granted the parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.

            (j) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement, with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
