  (a)      The Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2006, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”);
 
  (b)      The Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2006, pursuant to Section 13 of the 1934 Act;

     All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers

  Delaware General Corporation Law

     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.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, 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 of the corporation, subject to certain limitations. 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.

   Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

     Article Eight of the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification by it of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Article Eight also provides that the Registrant may maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers and employees.

   Indemnification Agreements and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

     The Registrant expects to maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (2) to it with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.

     The Registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers which may be broader than the indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law.

   Registration Rights Agreement

     Section 2.04 of the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 2, 2002 between Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. and FP-Ultra Clean, LLC, the Registrant’s majority shareholder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless FP-Ultra Clean, LLC and certain other persons against losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses relating to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a registration statement or prospectus relating to its registrable securities if it is found responsible for providing such statements, and for an omission to state a material fact necessary to make statements in a registration statement or prospectus not misleading, if it is found responsible for omitting to provide such statements.

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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

     (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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; and

     (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 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this 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 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification foregoing provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
