For example, if Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, and if the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Seller, and if the Dispute Resolution Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to Seller. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 1.5, and, as so revised, such Preliminary Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder.
