<PAGE>

indemnification permitted or authorized thereunder for or with respect to claims
asserted before or after such amendment or repeal arising from acts or omissions
occurring in whole or in part before the effective date of such amendment or
repeal.

     Amkor's Bylaws provide that Amkor shall indemnify to the full extent
authorized by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action
or a proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he or she was or is a director, officer or employee of
Amkor or any predecessor of Amkor or serves or served any other enterprise as a
director, officer or employee at the request of Amkor or any predecessor of
Amkor.

     Amkor has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and
certain of its officers.

     Amkor maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is a director or
officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against such person and
expense incurred by such person in any such capacity, subject to certain

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

(a)  Rule 415 Offering

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
     material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
     previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
     to such information in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering.

(b)  Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's or the Plan's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Request for acceleration of effective date or filing of registration
     statement on Form S-8

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

or was or who had agreed to become a director or officer of Amkor or who had
agreed at the request of Amkor's Board of Directors or an officer of Amkor to
serve as an employee or agent of Amkor or as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, shall be indemnified by Amkor to the full extent permitted by the
DGCL or any other applicable laws. Such Certificate of Incorporation also
provides that no amendment or repeal of such Certificate shall apply to or have
any effect on the right to
indemnification permitted or authorized thereunder for or with respect to claims
asserted before or after such amendment or repeal arising from acts or omissions
occurring in whole or in part before the effective date of such amendment or
repeal.

     Amkor's Bylaws provide that Amkor shall indemnify to the full extent
authorized by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action
or a proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he or she was or is a director, officer or employee of
Amkor or any predecessor of Amkor or serves or served any other enterprise as a
director, officer or employee at the request of Amkor or any predecessor of
Amkor.

     Amkor has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and
certain of its officers.

     Amkor maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is a director or
officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against such person and
expense incurred by such person in any such capacity, subject to certain

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

(a)  Rule 415 Offering

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
     material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
     previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
     to such information in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering.

(b)  Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's or the Plan's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Request for acceleration of effective date or filing of registration
     statement on Form S-8

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
