Dispute of Invoice. If the Company, in good faith, disputes the amount of an invoice, the Company shall give written notice of such dispute (including the particulars of such dispute) to the Administrator on or before the due date with respect to all or any portion of such invoice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall furnish the Company with additional supporting documentation to reasonably substantiate the amount of the invoice or the Purchase Fee calculation, as applicable. Upon delivery of such additional documentation, the Company and the Administrator shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute. If they are unable to resolve the dispute within (i) ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of such additional supporting information (in the case of an invoice) or (ii) five (5) days of such delivery (in the case of the Purchase Fee calculation), the dispute shall be referred for resolution to a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing in the United States reasonably satisfactory to each of the Administrator and the Company (the “Accounting Referee”), which shall determine the disputed amounts within thirty (30) days of the referral of such invoice dispute to such Accounting Referee, or within ten (10) days of the referral of such Purchase Fee calculation dispute. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall not require the Company to pay more than the amount in dispute nor require the Administrator to return any amount previously paid by the Company. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the Company and the Administrator. If any invoice dispute is resolved in favor of the Administrator, the Company shall make payment to the Administrator within ten (10) days of resolution of the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be entitled to withhold any amounts other than those portions of the applicable payment that are in dispute.
