		The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
11.6		Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibit and other documents attached or referred to herein, which form a part hereof, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings (whether written or oral) among the parties, in respect to the subject matter contained herein. The Mutual Non-disclosure Letter Agreement between Microsemi Corporation and Seller (the “NDA”) shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date; provided, however, Microsemi Corporation’s confidentiality obligations under the NDA as they relate to the Business or the Purchased Assets shall terminate immediately upon the Closing. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder are not intended to confer any rights or remedies to any third party and is not intended to operate, in anyway, as an agreement for the benefit of any third-party.
11.7		Governing Law. This Agreement is deemed to have been made in the State of California, and its interpretation, its construction and the remedies for its enforcement or breach are to be applied pursuant to, and in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of laws provisions thereunder.
11.8		Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). The parties agree that they shall attempt to settle any dispute arising out of this Agreement, the execution thereof or in connection therewith, through friendly consultation and negotiation in the spirit of mutual cooperation, and if settlement cannot be reached within a reasonable time, then the dispute shall first be submitted to a mutually acceptable neutral advisor for non-binding mediation (“Mediation”). Neither party shall unreasonably withhold acceptance of such advisor, and selection thereof shall be made within thirty (30) days after written notice by one party requesting such Mediation. Any disputes arising hereunder which the parties cannot resolve in good faith within three (3) months of the date of the written request for Mediation, shall be submitted to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) for arbitration in accordance with its rules and procedures (“Arbitration” and collectively with Mediation, “ADR”). Any ADR shall occur in Orange County, California. The parties are authorized in such arbitration proceedings to conduct discovery in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq. The arbitrator shall give a detailed reasoned opinion. The parties agree that the arbitral award shall be final and binding upon both parties. The parties expressly waive their appeal rights under California Code of Civil Procedure § 1294(b), (c) and (d). The arbitral award may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. During ADR, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be performed continuously by both parties except for matters in dispute. Each party shall be responsible for all its own costs associated with the preparation and representation by attorneys, or any other persons retained thereby, to assist it in connection with any such ADR. All costs charged by JAMS or any other the mutually agreed upon ADR entity shall be equally shared by the parties pending the arbitration award. The arbitrator may include in the arbitration award costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees in favor of the prevailing party or parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein stated,

11.9		Severability; Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof.
