  or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus,

thereof.</FONT></FONT> </P>

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under &#147;Item 6 &#151; Indemnification
of Directors and Officers&#148; 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</FONT></FONT> </P>

All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),

amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4:
Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5: Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which
such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a
director, officer, employee or agent to AMIS Holdings, Inc. The Delaware General
Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to
provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation
shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other
distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
Article
  8 of AMIS Holdings, Inc.'s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
  provides that a director of AMIS Holdings, Inc. shall not be liable to AMIS
  Holdings, Inc. or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
  duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition,
  Article 8 of AMIS Holdings, Inc.'s Amended and Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation provides that each person (and the heirs, executors or administrators
  of such person) who was or is a party or is
2
threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director of AMIS Holdings, Inc. or is or was serving at the
request of AMIS Holdings, Inc. as a director of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and
held harmless by AMIS Holdings, Inc. to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. The right to indemnification conferred in Article 8 also includes the right
to be paid by AMIS Holdings, Inc. the expenses incurred in connection with any
such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent
authorized by Delaware law.
Article
  8 of AMIS Holdings, Inc.'s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
  provides that AMIS Holdings, Inc. shall have power to purchase and maintain
  insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
  or agent of AMIS Holdings, Inc., or is or was serving at the request of AMIS
  Holdings, Inc. as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability
  or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of his status
  as such, whether or not AMIS Holdings, Inc. would have the power to indemnify
  him against such liability under Delaware law.
We
also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers.
The indemnification agreements provide indemnification to our directors and
officers under certain circumstances for acts or omissions which may not be
covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance. We have also
obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance, which insures
against liabilities that our directors or officers may incur in such capacities.
Shareholders'
Agreement
Section 5.05 of the amended and restated shareholders' agreement provides
  that AMIS Holdings, Inc. will indemnify and hold harmless each of persons (together,
  the "Shareholders") holding securities covered by a registration statement,
  their officers, directors, employees, partners and agents and each person, if
  any, who controls such Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
  Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims,
  damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
  of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating
  to the registrable securities (as amended or supplemented if AMIS Holdings shall
  have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus,
  or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
  required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
  misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
  caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
  or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to AMIS Holdings,
  Inc. by such Shareholders or on such Shareholders' behalf expressly for
  use therein, provided that, with respect to any untrue statement or omission
  or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus,
  or in any prospectus, as the case may be, this indemnity shall not apply to
  the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from
  the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented
  prospectus, as the case may be) was not sent or given to the person asserting
  any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written
  confirmation of the sale of the registrable securities concerned to such person
  if it is determined that AMIS Holdings, Inc. has provided such prospectus to
  such Shareholders and it was the responsibility of such Shareholders to provide
  such person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented
  prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or
  such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured
  the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. AMIS
  Holdings, Inc. also agreed to indemnify any underwriters of the registrable
  securities, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters
  on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Shareholders
  provided in the Shareholders' Agreement.

Commission on August 15, 2003.
Item 9:
Undertakings.
(a)
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,
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)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to 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)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under "Item 6 — Indemnification
of Directors and Officers" 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
