PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE

DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Corporation”) may indemnify a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or such other corporation and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Corporation or such other corporation to procure a judgment in its favor only with court approval. A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from the Corporation as a matter of right if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

        The by-laws of the Corporation provide that the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the heirs and legal representatives of such a person against all costs, charges and expenses incurred while carrying out such acts, except as prohibited by law.

        The by-laws of the Corporation further provide that the Corporation may, to the extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor.

        A policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is maintained by the Corporation which insures, subject to certain exclusions, directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Corporation in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Corporation for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provided by the Corporation pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the by-laws of the Corporation.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
