This VOTING AGREEMENT (the Agreement), dated as of June 15, 2005, is entered into between the undersigned stockholder (Stockholder) of Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the Company), and Integrated Device Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent).
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Colonial Merger Sub I, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the Merger Agreement), providing for, inter alia, the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub (the Merger) pursuant to the terms and on the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has requested that Stockholder make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the Shares) beneficially owned by Stockholder and set forth opposite Stockholders signature on the signature page hereto (the Stockholder Shares); and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Representations of Stockholder. Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent that (a) Stockholder lawfully beneficially owns (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) all of the Stockholder Shares free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests or other encumbrances and, except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any Shares, and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Stockholder Shares, (b) Stockholder does not beneficially own any Shares other than the Stockholder Shares and (c) Stockholder has full power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Stockholders obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Stockholder in accordance with its terms.
2. Representations of Parent. Parent has full power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Parents obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent in accordance with its terms.
3. Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.
(a) Stockholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Stockholder Shares and any New Shares (as defined in Section 8 hereof), and to cause any holder of record of such Shares to vote, (i) in favor of (A) adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (B) any other matters directly related thereto, in either case at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which any such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, (ii) against any amendment of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or the Companys Bylaws that would prevent, impede or interfere with the Merger or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger, and (iii) except for the Merger and the Merger Agreement, against any merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or sale or transfer of any material assets of the Company or its subsidiaries.
(b) Stockholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Stockholder Shares and any New Shares in accordance with Section 3(a). This proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and power of attorney. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder by Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Stockholder with respect to the matters contemplated by Section 3(a). The power of attorney granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
4. No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangements. Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Stockholders control to, deposit any of the Stockholder Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Stockholder Shares or subject any of the Stockholder Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Stockholder Shares other than agreements entered into with Parent.
5. No Proxy Solicitations. Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Stockholders control to, (a) solicit proxies or become a participant in a solicitation (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) in opposition to or competition with the consummation of the Merger or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action which would reasonably be expected to compete with, impede, interfere with or attempt to discourage the consummation of the Merger or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (b) directly or indirectly encourage, initiate or cooperate in a stockholders vote or action by consent of the Companys stockholders in opposition to or in competition with the consummation of the Merger, or (c) become a member of a group (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with the consummation of the Merger.

6. Stockholder Capacity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in Stockholders capacity as the holder of the Stockholder Shares and New Shares, as may become applicable, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Stockholder from taking any action or omitting to take any action in Stockholders capacity as a member of the board of directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) or as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in either case as applicable or as may become applicable to the Stockholder.
7. Transfer and Encumbrance. On or after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees not to transfer, sell, offer, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Stockholder Shares or New Shares. This Section 7 shall not prohibit a transfer of any Stockholder Shares or New Shares by Stockholder (i) to any member of Stockholders immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder immediate family, (ii) upon the death of Stockholder, or (iii) if Stockholder is a partnership or limited liability company, to one or more partners or members of Stockholder or to an affiliated corporation under common control with Stockholder; provided, however, that a transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
8. Additional Purchases. Stockholder agrees that all Shares that Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of, including upon the exercise of options to purchase Shares, after the execution of this Agreement or for which Stockholder has not included as Stockholder Shares as of the date hereof for any reason (all such Shares collectively, New Shares), shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Stockholder Shares as of the date hereof.
9. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any other partys seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.
