Article 13
Miscellaneous

13.1.      Governing  Law . The internal laws of the State of California, irrespective of its conflicts of law principles, shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

13.2.      Dispute Resolutio n .

(a)     In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party to the dispute will attempt to negotiate a resolution to the dispute in good faith for not less than ten Business Days. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either party may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on one arbitrator within ten Business Days, then Buyer and Seller shall each suggest one arbitrator, each of which arbitrators shall be independent and have at least ten years relevant experience, and within 5 Business Days of such selection, such two arbitrators shall mutually agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. However, if either Buyer or Seller fails to designate an arbitrator within 30 calendar days after the filing of a demand for arbitration (or similar document), the arbitration shall proceed with the one arbitrator timely designated. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions that shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(b)     Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara, California under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Asso ciation. In any arbitration hereunder between an Indemnified Party on one hand and an Indemnifying Party (or any third-party with rights arising hereunder) on the other hand, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party in the event that the arbitrators award such parties less than the sum of one half (1/2) of the disputed amount, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Indemnifying Party and/or any third-party with rights arising hereunder shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration, and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.

13.3.      Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided , that , without such consent, Buyer may transfer or assign, in whole or in part or from time to time, its rights and/or obligations hereunder to (i) one or more of its Affiliates, or (ii) following the Closing, any successor in interest to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or equities of Buyer; provided , however , that no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder; provided , further that without the consent of Buyer, Seller may transfer or assign, in whole, its rights and obligations hereunder to any successor in interest or a purchaser of Seller (directly or indirectly by way of purchase of a controlling Affiliate of Seller) by way of acquisition of shares, merger, consolidation or the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of Seller (or of a controlling Affiliate of Seller), provided such purchaser or successor in interest and its ultimate parent entity expressly assume in writing Seller’s obligations hereunder in their entirety. If any of the Seller Parties enters into any agreement or arrangement with respect to, or effects, any proposed sale, exchange, dividend or other distribution or liquidation of all or a significant portion of its assets in one or a series of transactions, except for any such agreements or arrangements or any such transactions that are contemplated by or effected or to be effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in which Silicon Labs is the purchaser in such transaction, such party shall notify Buyer in writing prior to entering into such an agreement or arrangement and shall provide for the assumption of its obligations under this Agreement by the purchaser or transferee of such assets or, if requested by any of the Seller Parties, another party reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

13.4.      Severability . If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

13.5.      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, PDF, e-mail or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

13.6.      Other Remedies . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction.

13.7.      Amendments and Waivers . Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a writing signed by Buyer and Seller, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default. At any time prior to the Closing, each of the parties hereto, by action taken by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for its benefit contained herein. No such waiver or extension shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver or extension is asserted. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

13.8.      Expenses . Whether or not the Share Purchase is consummated, all transaction expenses shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

13.9.      Attorneys ’ Fees . Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court (including costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

13.10.      Notices . All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered in person, sent by certified or registered first-class mail, postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service. In addition, each party shall send an email copy of such notice at the email addresses set forth below but such email shall not constitute notice for purposes of this Agreement, except in such cases that notice or other communications are required under this Agreement within 24 hours or less in which case an email will be sufficient to constitute such notice upon confirmation of receipt. Such notices and other communications shall be effective upon receipt if hand delivered or sent by facsimile, three days after mailing if sent by mail, and one day after dispatch if sent by express courier, to the following addresses, or such other addresses as any party may notify the other parties in accordance with this Section  13.10 :
