(1) This
Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common
Stock which become issuable under the Microchip Technology Incorporated
2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the International Employee Stock
Purchase Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or any other similar transaction without receipt of
consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of Microchip Technology Incorporated.
(2) Calculated
solely for purposes of this offering under Rule 457(h) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis of 85% of the average of the high
and low prices per share of Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq
National Market on February 22,
2008, which was $26.34.
(3) The
Amount of the Registration Fee is calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of
the Securities Act, which currently provides that the adjusted fee rate
for fiscal 2008 shall be “$39.30 per $1 million” of the maximum aggregate
price at which such securities are proposed to be offered. The
Registration Fee is therefore calculated by multiplying the Proposed
Maximum Aggregate Offering Price by 0.0000393.

Item
6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”) authorizes a court
to award or a corporation’s Board of Directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising by reason of the fact that the
person was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation or other enterprise (including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”)). Article VI of the Registrant’s By-Laws provides
for mandatory indemnification of its directors and executive officers, to the
maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. Article VI of the Registrant’s By-Laws
also provides for permissive indemnification of the Registrant’s employees and
agents to the extent, and in the manner, permitted by Delaware
Law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with
its directors and selected officers, a form of which was filed on February 5,
1993 as Exhibit 10.1 to Registration Statement No. 33-57960. The
indemnification agreements provide the Registrant’s directors and selected
officers with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by
Delaware Law. The Registrant’s directors and officers are insured
under policies of insurance maintained by the Registrant, subject to the limits
of the policies, against any claims made against them by reason of being or
having been such directors or officers.

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 that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) 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 Item 6 of Part II of this registration statement, 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
