SECTION 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
IDTI hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof, on any Closing Date, and, solely with respect to Section 2.16, as of June 13, 2011 as follows:
2.1 Due Formation. IDTI is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Newco and Newco Sub (together with IDTI, each an “IDTI Party” and, collectively, the “IDTI Parties”) is duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and, to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, in good standing in the jurisdiction(s) of its incorporation or formation. Each of the IDTI Parties possesses all corporate, limited liability company or other applicable organizational powers necessary to engage in its business and operations as now conducted.
2.2 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each IDTI Party of each Operative Document to which it is a party are within its organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other applicable organizational action, and do not and will not contravene (i) its Organizational Documents, (ii) any contract, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, indenture, or other instrument to which such IDTI Party is a party or which is binding upon it or its property, except to the extent such contravention would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) in any material respect, any judgment, law, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to such IDTI Party or its property.
2.3 Governmental Approvals. No consent, approval, or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any governmental authority, and no consent of any other Person, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by each IDTI Party of each Operative Document to which it is a party, except those already obtained or made and those required to perfect security interests.
2
2.4 Enforceability. Each Operative Document to which any of the IDTI Parties is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally or by general principles of equity (including implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing).
2.5 Investment Company; Holding Company. (a) No IDTI Party is, or upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents will be, required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
(b) No IDTI Party is subject to regulation as a “holding company,” an “affiliate” of a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Similarly, no IDTI Party will be subject to regulation as a “holding company,” an “affiliate” of a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.
2.6 No Material Affiliate Event. No Incipient Material Affiliate Event or Material Affiliate Event has occurred and is continuing.
2.7 Representations of IDTI Parties. All of the written representations and warranties made by any IDTI Party in any Operative Document or any certificate delivered pursuant to any Operative Document were or will be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality, in all respects) on the date such representations or warranties were so made, other than any such representations or warranties that, by their terms, refer to a specific date other than any such date, in which case as of such specific date.
2.8 Value of Depositary Receipts. Immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated to occur on or prior to the date hereof under and in connection with the Operative Documents, the Depositary Receipts of the Foundation held by Newco will make up more than sixty seven percent (67%) of Newco’s assets by value. No plan of any IDTI Party exists to take actions that would result in such Depositary Receipts making up sixty seven percent (67%) or less of Newco’s assets by value.
2.9 Compliance with Terms and Conditions. To the IDTI Parties’ actual knowledge, the IDTI Parties have at all times duly performed and complied in all material respects with all the terms and conditions set forth in the Operative Documents and Certificate of Designations. Since their formation, each of Newco and Newco Sub have complied with the undertakings set forth in clauses (a) through (kk) of Section 3.1.
2.10 Certain U.S. Tax Matters Relating to Newco Sub. At no time has Newco Sub (i) held any interest that is treated as an equity interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any entity that is not treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (ii) engaged in any transaction or activity that would cause Newco Sub to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
3
2.11 Absence of Liabilities. Newco does not have any Liabilities or commitments of any nature whatsoever, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, other than Liabilities and commitments arising under applicable law or arising under the Operative Documents, the Certificate of Designations, the Articles, the IM Custody Agreement, the Investment Management Agreement, the Free Cash Management Agreement and the Newco Custody Agreement and other than Liabilities and commitments that are unsecured, do not constitute “Indebtedness” (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and do not, in the aggregate, exceed $100,000 outstanding at any time.
2.12 Legal Proceedings. Since its formation, there have been no judgments outstanding against Newco or affecting any property of Newco, nor any actions, suites or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the IDTI Parties, threatened against Newco that have had, or could reasonably be expected to have either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
2.13 Investigations, Audits, Etc. Since its formation, Newco has not been the subject of (x) any review or audit by the IRS or (y) any investigation by any governmental entity concerning the violation or possible violation of any law that, in the case of clause (y) only, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the rights of the Buyer under any of the Operative Documents.
2.14 Amendments. The Operative Documents, the Articles, the Certificate of Designations, the Newco Custody Agreement, the IM Custody Agreement, the Investment Management Agreement and the Free Cash Management Agreement contain the full agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby and no other agreements exist with respect to such transactions and no amendments, modifications, consents or waivers have been made to, or given under, the foregoing organizational documents and agreements after the date of their execution, except those that are immaterial and those that are executed or approved in writing by the Buyer.
2.15 No Liens. The property of Newco is not subject to any Lien (other than Liens created pursuant to the Operative Documents and any Liens for taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceeding and as to which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with general accepted accounting principles).
2.16 Solvency Representation. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the subscription agreement between IDTI and Newco dated June 10, 2011 and the Repo Agreement, in each case as and to the extent in effect on the date as of which this representation is made (i) the then fair value of the assets of each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, was or is greater than the then total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, (ii) the then present fair salable value of the assets of each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, was or is not less than the amount that, as applicable, was or will be required to pay the probable liabilities of each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, did not and does not intend to, and did not and does not believe that it would or will, incur debts or
4
liabilities beyond its ability to pay its own debts and liabilities as they mature and, (iv) each of IDTI and Newco, as applicable, was or is not engaged in a business or a transaction, and, as applicable, was or is not about to engage in a business or a transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital.
2.17 Class A Preferred Shares. There are no Class A Preferred Shares outstanding other than the 1,431 shares of the Class A Preferred Shares that are authorized by the Certificate, and all such Class A Preferred Shares (other than Class A Preferred Shares that have become Purchased Securities (as defined in the Repo Agreement)) are owned by IDTI and no other Person has any right or interest therein (including any security interest or any right or power to direct the voting of such Class A Preferred Shares).

14
4.2 Indemnification. IDTI agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Buyer and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable law or otherwise, to the extent related to, arising out of or in connection with (i) Buyer’s entry into and performance under the Repo Agreement and all Transactions thereunder and IDTI’s use of the proceeds thereof and (ii) any matters contemplated hereby or the engagement of Buyer pursuant to, and the performance by Buyer of the services contemplated by, the Letter Agreement, and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonably and documented external counsel fees and expenses) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of IDTI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDTI will not be liable to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Buyer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to IDTI or its security holders or creditors related to, arising out of or in connection with, the engagement of Buyer pursuant to, or the performance by Buyer of the services contemplated by, the Letter Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Buyer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event will IDTI be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if IDTI has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
In case any actions or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify IDTI in writing (but the omission to so notify shall not relieve IDTI from any obligation hereunder unless and only to the extent that, such omission results in IDTI’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) and IDTI shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others IDTI may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) IDTI and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both IDTI and an Indemnified Party and IDTI and the Indemnified Party have been advised by counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that IDTI shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred and paid. In the case of
15
any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties and acceptable to IDTI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). IDTI shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, IDTI agrees, to the extent provided for herein, to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
IDTI agrees that, without Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought hereunder (whether or not Buyer or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against IDTI or any of its affiliates in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, IDTI agrees to reimburse Buyer for all expenses properly and reasonably incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its non-internal legal counsel.
IDTI agrees to indemnify Buyer against any loss incurred by Buyer as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which Buyer is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by Buyer. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of IDTI and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any customary premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.
4.3 Fees and Expenses.
IDTI shall pay to Bank of America, N.A. the following fees and expenses in connection with the Repo Agreement:
(a) Promptly following the date of execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid to Bank of America, N.A., a fee in an amount specified in the Letter Agreement.
(b) On or promptly following the date of execution of this Agreement, or from time to time as Bank of America, N.A. may reasonably request, IDTI shall reimburse Bank of America, N.A. for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
16
Bank of America, N.A. with the approval of IDTI in connection with the Repo Agreement, which shall be for the account of the IDTI. IDTI’s obligation to reimburse Bank of America, N.A.’s expenses under this paragraph 4.3(b) shall not exceed the amount of U.S. $150,000.
(c) IDTI agrees to pay to Bank of America, N.A. the amounts due under this Section 4.3 in U.S. dollars within thirty business days of the date of execution of this Agreement through a money transfer to an account to be designated in writing by Bank of America, N.A. IDTI further agrees that all amounts payable hereunder shall be free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or other deductions or withholdings levied in any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, in which event IDTI will pay additional amounts so that the persons entitled to such payments will receive the amount that such persons would otherwise have received but for such deduction or withholding.
4.4 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by IDTI herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Applicable Person and IDTI. No such waiver of a provision or consent to a departure in any one instance shall be construed as a further or continuing waiver of or consent to subsequent occurrences, or a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other departure.
4.5 Addresses for Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing or by facsimile and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given, and received for all purposes (a) if delivered personally to the Person or to an officer of the Person to whom the same is directed, or (b) when the same is actually received (if during the recipient’s normal business hours if during a Business Day, or, if not, on the next succeeding Business Day), if sent by facsimile (followed by a hard copy of the same communication sent by certified mail, postage and charges prepaid), or by courier or delivery service or by mail, addressed as follows, or to such other address as such Person may from time to time specify by notice, if to IDTI, at its address at Integrated Device Technology, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000, and if to any Applicable Person, at its address specified in the Repo Agreement or to such other address (and with copies to such other Persons) as the Person entitled to receive notice hereunder shall specify by notice given in the manner provided herein to the other Persons entitled to receive notice hereunder.
4.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Buyer, the Agent or the Indenture Trustee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable law.
4.7 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue Objection; Service of Process. IDTI HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO AND ACCEPTS THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE, LOCATED IN THE

IDTI MAY ALSO BE SERVED IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, IN WHICH EVENT ITS TIME TO RESPOND SHALL BE THE TIME PROVIDED BY LAW.
4.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. IDTI HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
