If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Trading Days following such initial notice by the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Holder may, at its sole option, submit the dispute to an independent, reputable investment bank or independent, outside accountant selected by the Holder (the “Independent Third Party”), and the Company shall pay all expenses of such Independent Third Party.
Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve their Dispute informally, in a timely and cost-effective manner, as follows:
Referral to Dispute Resolution If the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, a Noteholder or a Note Owner (the “Requesting Party”) requests that World Omni repurchase a Receivable due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty in Section 3.01(a) (which repurchase request shall provide sufficient detail so as to allow World Omni to reasonably investigate the alleged breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01(a); provided that with respect to a repurchase request from a Noteholder or a Note Owner, such repurchase request shall initially be provided to the Indenture Trustee) (each, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Repurchase Request has not been resolved, the alleged breach has not otherwise been cured or the related Receivable has not otherwise been repurchased, paid-off or otherwise satisfied, within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the Repurchase Request by World Omni, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration by filing in accordance with ADR Rules and providing a notice to World Omni. The Requesting Party must start the mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR Organization within 90 days after the end of the 180-day period. World Omni agrees to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party. However, if the Receivable subject to a Repurchase Request was part of a Review and the Review Report states no Test Fails for the Receivable, the Repurchase Request for the Receivable will be deemed to have been resolved.
