Dispute Resolution Mechanics. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement arising with respect to this Agreement, including any dispute in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Dispute”). Either Party may give the other Party written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. If the Parties cannot agree within thirty (30) Business Days following the date on which one Party gives such notice (the “Dispute Date”), then the Dispute shall be referred to a Tax Expert acceptable to each of the Parties to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a Tax Expert within ten (10) Business Days, the Tax Expert selected by KAR and the Tax Expert selected by Spinco shall jointly select a Tax Expert that will resolve the Dispute. Such Tax Expert shall be empowered to resolve the Dispute, including by engaging nationally recognized lar firms, accountants and other experts. The Tax Expert chosen to resolve the Dispute shall furnish written notice to the Parties of its resolution of such Dispute as soon as practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) Business Days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Expert shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Tax Expert shall be allocated between the Parties in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of disputed items that were determined in favor of the other Party (as finally determined by the Tax Expert) bears to the total amount of disputed items submitted by the Parties.
