 2.
Exercisability. 
 (a) Vesting Provisions. An installment of 25% of the Common Units subject to the Options shall become vested
and exercisable upon the earlier of: (i) the date of the first closing of a firmly underwritten public offering for any equity securities of the Company, and (ii) the date as designated in the sole discretion of the Equity Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as the date upon which the unitholders of the Company as of October 6, 2004, have achieved a 2.5x return on their investment (the “First Vesting Event”). The remaining 75% of the
Common Units subject to the Options shall become vested and exercisable as to 25% of such Common Units on each of the first three successive annual anniversaries of the First Vesting Event, subject to the Grantee’s continous employment with
MagnaChip Korea from the Grant Date to each such vesting date. 
 (b) Normal Expiration Date. Unless the Options earlier terminate in
accordance with Section 4, the Options shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Normal Expiration Date”). Once Options have become vested and exerciseable pursuant to this Section 2, such
Options may be exercised, subject to the provisions hereof, at any time and from time to time until the Normal Expiration Date. 
 3.
Method of Exercise and Payment. 
 All or part of the exercisable Options may be exercised by the Grantee upon (a) the
Grantee’s written notice to the Company of exercise (on such Exercise Notice as provided by the Company, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), (b) the Grantee’s payment of the Option

any of the Common Units acquired by the Grantee upon exercise of any of the Options (whether acquired before or after such termination) for a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such Common Units on the date of repurchase, provided that
if the Grantee’s employment is terminated for Cause, then the cash payment shall be equal to the lower of the Fair Market Value and the Option Price of the Common Units so purchased. The Company’s repurchase right under this provision
shall terminate ninety days after the termination of the Grantee’s employment.

shall not be permitted to further transfer such Options or Common Units other than back to the Grantee; further provided that the restrictions on the transfer of Common Units acquired by the Grantee upon exercise of any of the Options shall

beneficiary, his estate or such transferee as permitted by the Committee. 
 7. Beneficiary Designation. 
 The Grantee may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan
and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee in
writing with the Committee during his lifetime. If no beneficiary is named, or if a named beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, the Successor Holder may exercise the Grantee’s rights under the Plan.

and no Common Units shall be issued upon exercise of any Options granted hereunder, if such exercise would result in a violation of applicable law.

or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, or confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of MagnaChip Korea. 
 10. No Rights as Securityholder. 
 Except as otherwise required by law, the Grantee shall not have any
