If Seller fail to deliver a Notice of Dispute within such forty-five (45)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement (and all amounts and calculations set forth thereon) and the Closing Statement as originally delivered by Buyer (and all such amounts and calculations) shall be final, binding, and non-appealable by the Parties. If a Notice of Dispute is timely delivered, Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Disagreement (as evidenced by a written agreement between them). Only those items and calculations specifically included in the Notice of Dispute as required herein shall be eligible for inclusion in the Disagreement. If the Disagreement is not resolved by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller in writing within thirty (30) days after ▇▇▇▇▇ receives the Notice of Dispute, they shall refer the Disagreement to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreed to by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller in writing (the “Accountant”) for resolution of such Disagreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Accountant that the determinations of such firm with respect to any Disagreement shall be rendered within fifteen (15) days after the referral of the Disagreement or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. The scope of the Accountant’s authority to act shall be strictly limited to determining whether the unresolved items that remain in dispute in the Disagreement were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles, and the Accountant shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent the Closing Statement requires adjustment. The Accountant’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions and presentations by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective representatives and not based on any independent review by the Accountant. The Accountant shall act as an expert, not an arbitrator, and shall have authority only to address and calculate values for only those items that remain in dispute in the Disagreement and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The determination of the Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.04(c) shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated between the Seller, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Accountant) bears to the total amount of disputed items so submitted; provided, that such fees, costs and expenses shall not include, so long as a Party complies with the procedures of this Section 1.04(c), the other Party’s outside counsel or accounting fees. The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash Balance and Closing Indebtedness Amount, each as set forth on the Closing Statement as finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.04(c), shall be referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital” and the “Final Cash Balance” respectively.

(iii) The “Final Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, means the Closing Cash Balance plus the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount.
(e) If the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, Seller shall be entitled to receive from Buyer an amount in cash. If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from the Seller an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount.
(f) If the Seller is entitled to receive payment pursuant to Section 1.04(e), Buyer shall, not more than five (5) Business Days after determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, make payment of the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds (or other alternative delivery arrangement permitted in the Escrow Agreement and/or mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer) to, or as directed in writing by, Seller.

From and after the Closing, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, counsel, accountants, and other agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to, hold in confidence any and all information, in any form, concerning the Company, except to the extent that the Seller can show that such information: (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of the Seller, any of its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by any obligation. If any Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by Governmental Order or Law, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as possible an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.
Section 5.02 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a) For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Seller will not, and will not permit any of its respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly: (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the precision machining and custom component manufacturing business (the “Restricted Business”) in the State of California (the “Territory”); (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, stockholder, director, officer, member, manager, employee, contractor, principal, agent, volunteer, intern, advisor, or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company and customers or suppliers of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2)% or more of any class of securities of such Person.
17
(b) During the Restricted Period, each Seller will not, and will not permit any of its respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any current or former employee of the Company or encourage any employee to leave the Company’s employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, however, nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring: (i) any employee terminated by the Company; or (ii) after one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of resignation, any employee that has resigned from the Company.

The covenants contained in this Section 5.02 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written will not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction. Any covenant or provision found enforceable under California law shall not be modified or enforced beyond the limits permitted by such law.
