Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a disclosure on one schedule would be reasonably obvious to a reasonable purchaser to apply by such Seller as to the disclosure under another schedule, then such disclosure shall be sufficient for such other schedule (for example, if the Sellers specifically disclose on Schedule 3.12(b) an uncollectable Account Receivable that has not been reserved for on the Financial Statements, such disclosure shall be sufficient for a disclosure under Schedule 3.11(b)). The Disclosure Schedules will be arranged in Schedules corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in this Article IIImatters covered thereby.
