 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 AMENDMENT NO. 2, CONSENT, WAIVER AND AGREEMENT dated as of
March 7, 2007 (this “Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Consent, Waiver and Agreement dated as of August 19, 2005 (as so amended, the
“Credit Agreement”), among AMI SEMICONDUCTOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), AMIS HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the Lenders (as defined in
Article I of the Credit Agreement) and CREDIT SUISSE (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
“Collateral Agent” ) for the Lenders. 
 A. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended, and have
agreed to extend, credit to the Borrower. 
 B. The Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to provide for an uncommitted
incremental term loan facility pursuant to which the Borrower will be entitled to incur additional term loans under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Credit Agreement. 
 C. The Borrower has further requested that the Lenders agree to amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement
as set forth herein. 
 D. Holdings and the Borrower have informed the Administrative Agent that Holdings, the Borrower and certain
Subsidiary Guarantors intend to transfer or license certain intellectual property to one or more Subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of Belgium (each such transfer or license, a “Designated Intellectual Property
Transfer”). The consideration received in respect of all such Designated Intellectual Property Transfers shall be reasonably adequate. Holdings and the Borrower have requested that the Lenders consent to the Designated Intellectual
Property Transfers and waive compliance by Holdings and the Borrower with certain provisions of the Credit Agreement in connection therewith. 
 E. The Required Lenders are willing to grant such consent and waiver and to agree to such amendments, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 
 F. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Consent and Waiver. (a) The
Required Lenders hereby consent to the Designated Intellectual Property Transfers, and hereby waive compliance by Holdings and the Borrower with the provisions of Sections 6.05 and 6.07 of the Credit Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to sell, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer the assets in respect of the Designated Intellectual Property Transfers. 







 (b) The Required Lenders and the Requisite Term Lenders (as defined below) hereby waive compliance by the
Borrower with the provisions of Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Section would otherwise require the Borrower to prepay Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of the Designated Intellectual
Property Transfers. For purposes of this Amendment, “Requisite Term Lenders” shall mean Term Lenders under the Credit Agreement holding a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans. 
 SECTION 2. Amendments. (a) Amendments to Article I: Definitions.

excess, if any, of (a) $150,000,000 over (b) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments established prior to such time pursuant to Section 2.25. 
 “Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement” shall mean an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement among, and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and one or more Incremental Term Lenders. 
 “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” shall mean the commitment of any Lender, established pursuant to Section 2.25, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower.

 (x) Article II of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 2.25 thereof that
reads in its entirety as follows: 
 “SECTION 2.25. Incremental Term Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written
notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Term Loan Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders, which may include any existing Lender; provided
that each Incremental Term Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of
the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which such
Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments
to make additional Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”). 
 (b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder; provided that,
without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no
shorter than the average life to maturity of the Term Loans and (iii) if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such
Other Term Loans and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or
fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four)
exceeds by more than 25 basis points (the amount of such excess above 25 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans, then the
Applicable Percentage then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the 
  

 5 








 Other Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental
Term Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to
reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and
(c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02. 
 (d) Each of
the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally
made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Term Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term
Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans to ABR Term Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to
Section 2.16. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set
forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the
making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.” 
 (c) Amendment to Article III: Representations and Warranties. Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “SECTION 3.13. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will (a) use the proceeds of the Loans and will request the
issuance of Letters of Credit only for the purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the use of proceeds of the Revolving Loans to finance any Dividend permitted hereunder shall be
considered a general corporate purpose of the Borrower) and (b) use the proceeds of Incremental Term Loans only for the purposes specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement.” 
 (d) Amendment to Article V: Affirmative Covenants. 
 (i) Section 5.04(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (1) deleting the word “or” in the eleventh line thereof and replacing such word with a comma and (2) inserting the words
“or payments of Dividends pursuant to Section 6.06(g)” immediately following the words “investments pursuant to Section 6.04(o)” appearing in the eleventh line thereof. 
  

 6 








 (ii) Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows: 
 “SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Loans and request
the issuance of Letters of Credit only for the purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the use of proceeds of the Revolving Loans to finance any Dividend permitted hereunder shall be
considered a general corporate purpose of the Borrower).” 
 (e) Amendments to Article VI: Negative Covenants. 
 (i) Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (1) deleting the word “and” immediately following the
semicolon at the end of Section 6.06(d), (2) deleting the period and inserting a semicolon in place thereof at the end of Section 6.06(e) and (3) inserting new Sections 6.06(f) and 6.06(g) thereof, which shall read in their
entirety as follows: 
 “(f) so long as there will exist no Default or Event of Default (both before and after giving
effect to the payment thereof), Holdings may repurchase its common Equity Interests through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 (it being understood and agreed that,
without duplication, the Borrower may directly make any purchases permitted by this clause (f) or may pay cash Dividends to Holdings for the purpose of enabling Holdings to make any such purchase, and that any such direct purchase or Dividend
may be financed with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans); and 
 (g) in addition to the Dividends permitted by paragraphs
(a) through (f) above, the Borrower may pay cash Dividends to Holdings and Holdings may use the proceeds of such Dividends to pay cash Dividends to its equity holders, in an amount not to exceed the Borrower’s Portion of Excess Cash
Flow; provided that, (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default (both before and after giving effect to the payment of such Dividend) and (ii) at the time of the proposed Dividend, the Leverage Ratio does not exceed 2.5 to
1.0 (calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any borrowings made in connection therewith in a manner consistent with the term “Pro Forma Basis”).” 
 SECTION 3. Other Agreements. Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders hereby agree that: 
 (a) no portion of any basket provided for in Section 6.05(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed utilized by the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds
from the Designated Intellectual Property Transfers; and 
 (b) contemporaneously with the consummation of a Designated Intellectual Property
Transfer, the assets sold, licensed, sublicensed or otherwise transferred in respect of such 
  

 7 








 Designated Intellectual Property Transfer shall be deemed to have been automatically released from the Liens created
pursuant to the Security Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to take any action deemed appropriate to effect the foregoing. 
 SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, Holdings and the Borrower
represent and warrant to each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that, after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by

amendment fee in an amount equal to 0.075% of the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whether used or unused) and the principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, in each case as of the Signing Date. 

SECTION 6. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit,
impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way
affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the date hereof, any reference to the Credit Agreement
shall mean the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by
