Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On October 27, 2004, Amkor Technology, Inc. (“Amkor”) entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement with Citicorp North America, Inc. (“CNAI”), as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), as Syndication Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPMorgan”), as Documentation Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), as Sole Lead Arranger and Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”) as Joint Bookrunners (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), all of which was borrowed at closing. The non-amortizing Term Loan provides for a single bullet payment on October 27, 2010, the maturity date. The Term Loan may not be prepaid at Amkor’s option prior to October 27, 2006. Anytime thereafter, the Term Loan may be prepaid, subject to the applicable prepayment premium. Interest shall accrue on the Term Loan at a floating base rate based on LIBOR plus a margin of 4.5%. Amkor intends to use the net proceeds of the term loan for working capital and general corporate purposes.

     The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants similar to those in Amkor’s outstanding 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2011, including affirmative covenants regarding financial and compliance reporting requirements, payment of taxes, maintenance of properties, keeping of ledger, pledging foreign intercompany debt and granting additional collateral and guarantees, and limitations on making payments, incurring indebtedness, issuing preferred stock, selling assets, transacting with affiliates, granting liens on assets, maintaining corporate existence, amending the subordination provisions of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, issuing or selling capital stock in wholly owned subsidiaries, entering into sale and leaseback transactions and merging or consolidating with other entities. The events of default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement include payment defaults, breaches of covenants, cross defaults on certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy events or failure of certain documents entered into in connection with the Term Loan to be valid and binding.

     To secure Amkor’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, Amkor and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2004, among Amkor, Guardian Assets, Inc. (“Guardian”), Unitive, Inc. (“Unitive”), Unitive Electronics, Inc. (“Unitive Electronics”) and CNAI, as Collateral Agent (the “Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement, Amkor’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a second lien on (i) substantially all of the assets of Amkor and its domestic subsidiaries, (ii) a pledge of the capital stock of Amkor’s domestic subsidiaries, (iii) a pledge of 66% of the capital stock of certain of Amkor’s and its subsidiaries’ first-tier foreign subsidiaries, (iv) a pledge of certain intercompany debt, and (v) a mortgage on Amkor’s real estate. In addition, on October 27, 2004, Guardian, Unitive and Unitive Electronics entered into a Guaranty, whereby such subsidiaries guaranteed Amkor’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

     On October 27, 2004 Amkor also entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement with the Lenders party thereto and CNAI, as Administrative Agent, which amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004, among Amkor, the Lenders and Issuers party thereto, Citigroup, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, CNAI, as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan, as Syndication Agent, Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (“Merrill Lynch Capital”), as Documentation Agent and J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch Capital as Arrangers (as amended, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”). The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a $30 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), with a $10 million letter of credit sublimit, available through June 29, 2007. There are currently no loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Interest shall accrue on the Revolving Facility at the Libor rate plus a margin of 3.5%. The First Lien Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, permit Amkor to enter into the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

     The First Lien Credit Agreement contains reporting requirements relating to eligible receivables maintenance requirements, financial reporting, any defaults under the First Lien Credit Agreement, certain litigation, insurance, ERISA and environmental matters. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains affirmative covenants, including preservation of corporate existence, compliance with laws, payment of taxes, maintenance of insurance, keeping of books and ledger, maintenance of properties, certain environmental matters and granting additional collateral and guarantees, and negative covenants, including limitations on incurring

Pursuant to the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement, Amkor’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a first lien on (i) substantially all of the assets of Amkor and its domestic subsidiaries, (ii) a pledge of the capital stock of Amkor’s domestic subsidiaries, (iii) a pledge of 66% of the capital stock of certain of Amkor’s and its subsidiaries’ first-tier foreign subsidiaries, (iv) a pledge of certain intercompany debt, and (v) a mortgage on Amkor’s real estate. In addition, on October 27, 2004, Unitive and Unitive Electronics entered into a Guaranty Supplement to the Guaranty, dated as of June 29, 2004, by Guardian, in favor of CNAI as Administrative Agent, whereby each subsidiary thereto guaranteed Amkor’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement.
