(contained in Exhibit 5.1). 24.1 Power of Attorney (see signature page) (1) Incorporated by reference to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed October 29, 2002 (File No. 333-100814). (2) The financial statements of Amkor Technology Philippines (P1/P2), Inc. and Amkor Technology Philippines (P3/P4), Inc., consolidated subsidiaries of the Registrant, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001, have been audited by the independent public accountants Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co., a member firm of Arthur Andersen, (referred to herein as Arthur Andersen). However, the Registrant has been unable to obtain the written consent of Arthur Andersen with respect to the incorporation by reference of such financial statements in this Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8. Therefore, the Registrant has dispensed with the requirement to file the written consent of Arthur Andersen in reliance upon Rule 437a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result, you may not be able to recover damages from Arthur Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for any untrue statements of material fact or any omissions to state a material fact, if any, contained in the financial statements of the registrant for the aforementioned financial statements which are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. 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 401K 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.
