(b) KAR shall be responsible for (i) any and all Tax-Related Losses for which KAR is responsible pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement and (ii) any and all Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the KAR Group pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Straddle Periods. If the taxable year or other taxable period of KAR or any member of the KAR Group or Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group does not close on the Distribution Date, then the allocation or apportionment of any Tax Items attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on, or beginning after, the Distribution Date shall be deemed equal to the amount that would have been so attributable if such taxable year had closed on the Distribution Date; provided that (i) exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, and (ii) property Taxes or other Non-Income Taxes that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis and not assessed with respect to a transaction or series of transactions, shall be allocated between such portions in proportion to the number of days in each such portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocation or apportionment of Equity Award Deductions shall be governed by the Employee Matters Agreement.

Section 2.16 Tax Refunds.

(a) KAR shall be entitled to all Refunds for Taxes for which KAR is responsible pursuant to this Agreement, and Spinco shall be entitled to all Refunds for Taxes for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) A Party receiving a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of the Refund. For purposes of this Section 2.16(b), any Refund that arises as a result of an offset, credit, or other similar benefit in respect of Taxes other than a receipt of cash shall be deemed to be received on the earlier of (i) the date on which a Tax Return is filed claiming such offset, credit, or other similar benefit and (ii) the date on which payment of the Tax which would have otherwise been paid absent such offset, credit, or other similar benefit is due (determined without taking into account any applicable extensions).

(c) In the event that one Party receives a Refund to which the other Party is entitled, the amount of Refund the Party receiving such Refund shall be required to pay to the Party entitled to such Refund shall be net of any and all Tax-Related Losses or other costs and expenses incurred by the Party receiving the Refund (or any of such Party’s Affiliates) in connection with the receipt of such Refund or the payment of such Refund to the other Party.

Section 2.17 Prior Agreements. Except as set forth in this Agreement and in consideration of the mutual indemnities and other obligations of this Agreement, any and all prior Tax sharing or allocation agreements or practices between any member of the KAR Group and any member of the Spinco Group shall be terminated with respect to the Spinco Group and the KAR Group as of the Distribution Date. No member of either the Spinco Group or the KAR Group shall have any continuing rights or obligations under any such agreement.

ARTICLE III

PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS

Section 3.1 KAR’ Responsibility. KAR shall prepare and file when due (taking into account any applicable extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Joint Returns and all KAR Separate Returns.

Section 3.2 Spinco’s Responsibility. Spinco shall prepare and file when due (taking into account any applicable extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to members of the Spinco Group other than those Tax Returns which KAR is required to prepare and file under Section 3.1. The Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by Spinco under this Section 3.2 shall include any Spinco Separate Returns.

Section 3.3 Right To Review Tax Returns. To the extent that the positions taken on any Tax Return (i) directly relate to matters for which the Reviewing Party may have an indemnification obligation to the Preparing Party, or that may give rise to a refund to which the Reviewing Party would be entitled under this Agreement or (ii) would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of the Reviewing Party, the Preparing Party shall prepare the portions of such Tax Return that relates to the business of the Reviewing Party (the KAR Business or the Spinco Business, as the case may be), shall provide a draft of such portion of such Tax Return to the Reviewing Party for its review and comment at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions). The Reviewing Party shall thereafter have five (5) Business Days to review such portion of such Tax Return and provide reasonable comments, if any, on such portion of such Tax Return to the Preparing Party, provided, however, that the Reviewing Party shall provide any reasonable comments it may have to the Preparing Party no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions). The Preparing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to modify such portion of such Tax Return before filing such Tax Return to include the Reviewing Party’s reasonable comments, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Preparing Party from timely filing any such Tax Return and, provided, further, that KAR shall be entitled to resolve any issues arising out of the review of any such portion of a Tax Return in its sole discretion.

Section 3.4 Cooperation. The Parties shall provide, and shall cause their Affiliates to provide, assistance and cooperation to one another in accordance with Article VII with respect to the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, including providing information required to be provided in Article VIII.

Section 3.5 Tax Reporting Practices. Except as provided in Section 3.6, with respect to any Tax Return for any taxable period that begins on or before the second anniversary of the Distribution Date with respect to which Spinco is the Preparing Party, such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner (i) consistent with past practices, accounting methods, elections and conventions (“Past Practices”) used by KAR in preparing similar Tax Returns (unless there is no Reasonable Basis for the use of such Past Practices), and to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event that there is no Reasonable Basis for the use of such Past Practices), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Spinco; and (ii) that, to the extent consistent with clause (i), minimizes the overall amount of Taxes due and payable on such Tax Return for all of the Parties by cooperating in making such elections or applications for group or other relief or allowances available in the taxing jurisdiction in which such Tax Return is filed. Spinco shall not take any action inconsistent with the assumptions (including items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit) made in determining all estimated or advance payments of Taxes on or prior to the Distribution Date. In addition, Spinco shall not be permitted, and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group, to make a change in any of its methods of accounting for Tax purposes until all applicable statutes of limitations for all Pre-Distribution Periods and Straddle Periods have expired, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law.

Section 3.6 Reporting of Transactions.

(a) KAR and Spinco shall timely file any appropriate information and statements (including as required by Section 6045B of the Code and Section 1.355-5 of the Treasury Regulations and, to the extent applicable, Section 1.368-3 of the Treasury Regulations) to report each step of the Transactions in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment. The Tax treatment of any step in or portion of the Transactions shall be reported on each applicable Tax Return consistently with the treatment thereof in any Tax Opinion, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed, unless there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment. In the event that a Party shall determine that there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment, such Party shall notify the other Party no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to filing the relevant Tax Return and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on the manner in which the relevant portion of the Transactions shall be reported.

(b) After the date hereof, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to analyze the impact of a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder for Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group with respect to the Distribution (a “Protective Section 336(e) Election”). Solely in the event that KAR determines, in its sole discretion, to make a Protective Section 336(e) Election:

(i) KAR and Spinco shall cooperate in making a timely protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and Section 1.336-2(j) of the Treasury Regulations (and any similar provision of applicable state or local Tax Law) for each member of the Spinco Group that KAR determines for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the Distribution in accordance with Section 1.336-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations and filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or taking such other action reasonably necessary to carry out the Protective Section 336(e) Election. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that the Protective Section 336(e) Election, if made, will have no effect unless, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Distribution is treated as a “qualified stock disposition” within the meaning of Section 1.336-1(b)(6) of the Treasury Regulations.

(ii) In the event that a Protective Section 336(e) Election is made and becomes effective, KAR shall determine, in its sole discretion, the “Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price” and the “Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis” (each as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) and the allocation of such Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price and Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis among the disposition date assets of Spinco and its Subsidiaries, each in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 336(e) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Section 336(e) Allocation Statement”), and shall provide a copy of such Section 336(e) Allocation Statement to Spinco. To the extent the Protective Section 336(e) Election is made and becomes effective, each Party agrees not to take any position (and to cause each of its Affiliates not to take any position) that is inconsistent with the Protective Section 336(e) Election, including the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or for any other Tax purposes (in each case, excluding any position taken for financial accounting purposes), except as may be required by a Final Determination.

(iii) In the event that a Protective Section 336(e) Election is made and becomes effective and Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group realizes an increase in Tax basis as a result of such Protective Section 336(e) Election (the “Section 336(e) Tax Basis Increase”), then the cash Tax savings actually realized by Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group as a result of the Section 336(e) Tax Basis Increase if, as and when realized by Spinco or such member of the Spinco Group arising from the Section 336(e) Tax Basis Increase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such additional Section 336(e) Tax Basis Increase attributable to payments made pursuant to this Section 3.6(b)) resulting from the Protective Section 336(e) Election, determined on a “with and without” basis (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to the step up in Tax basis resulting from the Protective 336(e) Election, or any other recovery of such step up, as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryforwards) (the “Section 336(e) Benefit Amount”) shall be allocated as follows: (x) first, to KAR in the amount of the Incremental Section 336(e) Tax and (y) thereafter, shared between KAR and Spinco in the same proportion as the Taxes imposed on the Transactions giving rise to the Section 336(e) Tax Basis Increase were borne by KAR and Spinco (after giving effect to the indemnification obligations in this Agreement).

(iv) Within fifteen (15) Business Days of actually realizing any Section 336(e) Benefit Amount, the Party realizing the Section 336(e) Benefit Amount (including through the realization of such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount by such Party’s Affiliates) shall (i) notify the other Party of any such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount, including by providing such other Party with reasonable documentation of such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount and (ii) pay the other Party the amount of any such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount to which such other Party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(iii); provided, however, that the amount of any such payment shall be net of any and all Tax-Related Losses or other costs and expenses incurred by the Party realizing the Section 336(e) Benefit Amount in connection with the realization of such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount or the payment of such Section 336(e) Benefit Amount to other Party.

(v) For purposes of this Section 3.6(b), a Party shall be deemed to have realized a Section 336(e) Benefit Amount on the earlier of: (i) the date on which a Tax Return is filed (taking into account any applicable extensions) that reflects actual cash tax savings as a result of any Section 336(e) Benefit Amount and (ii) the date on which payment of the relevant Tax which would have been due and payable absent any such Section 336(e) Tax Benefit Amount (determined without taking into account any applicable extensions).

Section 3.7 Payment of Taxes.

(a) With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, the Preparing Party shall remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority in a timely manner any Taxes due in respect of any such Tax Return. The obligation to make payments pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) shall not affect a Party’s right, if any, to receive payments under Article V or otherwise be indemnified with respect to that Tax liability.

(b) The Preparing Party shall, no later than five (5) Business Days before the due date (taking into account any applicable extensions) of any Tax Return described in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, notify the other Party of any amount (or any portion of any such amount) shown as due on that Tax Return for which the other Party must indemnify the Preparing Party under this Agreement. The other Party shall pay such amount to the Preparing Party no later than the due date (taking into account any applicable extensions) of the relevant Tax Return. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 3.7(b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 3.8 Amended Returns and Carrybacks.

(a) Spinco shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group to, file or allow to be filed any request for an Adjustment for any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of KAR, such consent to be exercised in KAR’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Spinco shall, and shall cause each member of the Spinco Group to, make any available elections to waive the right to carry back any Tax Attribute from a taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Distribution Date to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Distribution Date.

(c) Spinco shall not, and shall cause each member of the Spinco Group not to, make any affirmative election to carry back any Tax Attribute from a taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Distribution Date to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Distribution Date, without the prior written consent of KAR, such consent to be exercised in KAR’s sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Receipt of consent by Spinco or a member of the Spinco Group from KAR pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall not limit or modify Spinco’s continuing indemnification obligation pursuant to Article V.

Section 3.9 Tax Benefits. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(b), if (a) one Party is responsible for a Tax pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable Tax Law and (b) the other Party is entitled to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit relating to such Tax, then the Party entitled to such deduction, credit or other Tax benefit shall pay to the Party responsible for such Tax the amount of any cash Tax savings realized by the entitled Party as a result of such deduction, credit or other Tax benefit, net of any Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority on, related to, or attributable to, the receipt of or accrual of such Tax benefit, including any Taxes imposed by way of withholding or offset or any Tax-Related Losses or other costs and expenses incurred by the Party receiving the Tax benefit (or any of such Party’s Affiliates) in connection with the receipt of such Tax benefit or the payment of such Tax benefit to the other Party. To the extent that the amount of any Tax benefit in respect of which a payment was made under this Section 3.9 is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or in a Tax Contest, the Party that received such payment shall refund such payment to the Party that made such payment to the extent of such reduction. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the existence of and size of any such Tax benefit; provided, however, that if the Parties cannot agree on such determination, KAR shall be entitled to make a final determination of the existence and size of any such Tax benefit in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

Section 3.10 Tax Attributes.

(a) KAR shall reasonably and in good faith advise Spinco in writing of the amount, if any, of any Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period that shall be allocated or apportioned to the Spinco Group under applicable Law; provided, however, that with respect to the determination of Tax basis of assets transferred to Spinco, KAR shall make such determination reasonably and in good faith and consistent with the books and records of KAR and its Subsidiaries. KAR, all members of the KAR Group, Spinco and all members of the Spinco Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with such written notice unless there is not a Reasonable Basis for such determination or otherwise required by a Final Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, KAR shall not be required to create or cause to be created any books and records or reports or other documents based thereon that are of the type customarily prepared by outside legal, financial or accounting advisors (including, without limitation, “earnings & profits studies,” “basis studies” or similar determinations) in order to comply with this Section 3.10.

(b) To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or Tax Contest, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 3.10(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.10, the allocation or apportionment of Equity Award Deductions shall be governed by the Employee Matters Agreement.

Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group, hereby confirms and agrees to comply with any and all covenants and agreements in the Tax Materials applicable to Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group or the Spinco Business.

(d) Each of KAR, on behalf of it itself and all other members of the KAR Group, and Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group represents and warrants that it has no plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

Section 4.2 Restrictions on KAR.

(a) KAR, on behalf of itself and all other members of the KAR Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the KAR Group will take, fail to take, or to permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials, or (ii) any action which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Intended Tax Treatment of the Transactions.

Section 4.3 Restrictions on Spinco.

(a) Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the Spinco Group will take, fail to take, or to permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials, or (ii) any action which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Intended Tax Treatment of the Transactions.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Spinco:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the Spinco Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution,

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate itself or any of its Affiliates (including any action that is a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes),

(iii) shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to) (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Spinco has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any Spinco stock, or rights to acquire Spinco stock, other than through stock purchases meeting the requirements of section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696, (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Certificates) which in the aggregate would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of Spinco capital stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a fifty-percent or greater interest in Spinco or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Intended Tax Treatment of the Transactions; and

(iv) shall not and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 20 percent of the consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (1) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business, (2) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (3) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for federal income tax purposes or (4) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Spinco and the members of the Spinco Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4.3(b)(iv), a merger of Spinco or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Spinco shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Spinco or such Subsidiary.

(ii) shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to) sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any assets, or otherwise take any action that would result in the shares of Canadian Spinco having a value greater than ten (10) percent of the total value of the shares of either (1) Spinco or (2) Spinco’s Direct Subsidiary.

(d) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 4.3(a), (b), or (c), Spinco or a member of the Spinco Group may take any of the actions or transactions described therein if Spinco either (i) obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to KAR or (ii) obtains the prior written consent of KAR waiving the requirement that Spinco obtain an Unqualified Tax Opinion, such waiver to be provided in KAR’s sole and absolute discretion. KAR’s evaluation of an Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such opinion. Spinco shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse KAR for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that KAR or any of its Affiliates may incur in good faith in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Unqualified Tax Opinion. Neither the delivery of an Unqualified Tax Opinion nor KAR’s waiver of Spinco’s obligation to deliver an Unqualified Tax Opinion shall limit or modify Spinco’s continuing indemnification obligation pursuant to Article V.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

Section 5.1 Indemnity Obligations.

(a) KAR shall indemnify and hold harmless Spinco from and against, and will reimburse Spinco for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to KAR pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) all Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the KAR Group pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to any of the foregoing contained in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) or any Tax Materials, (iii) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the avoidance of doubt, in whole or in part) from an acquisition after the Distribution of any stock or assets of KAR (or any KAR Affiliate) by any means whatsoever by any Person, and (iv) any other amounts KAR is required to pay to Spinco pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Without regard to whether an Unqualified Tax Opinion may have been provided or whether any action is permitted or consented to hereunder and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, Spinco shall indemnify and hold harmless KAR from and against, and will reimburse KAR for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to Spinco pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) all Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the Spinco Group pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to any of the foregoing contained Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) or any Tax Materials, (iii) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the avoidance of doubt, in whole or in part) from an acquisition after the Distribution of any stock or assets of Spinco (or any Spinco Affiliate) by any means whatsoever by any Person, (iv) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the Spinco Group that is allocated to KAR pursuant to Section 2.16(a), and (v) any other amounts Spinco is required to pay to KAR pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any amounts Spinco is required to pay KAR pursuant to Section 3.6(b)).

(c) To the extent that any Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity pursuant to both Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b), each of KAR and Spinco shall pay and be responsible for fifty (50) percent of such Tax-Related Loss.

Section 5.2 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if either Party (the “Indemnitee”) is required to pay to a Taxing Authority a Tax or to another Person a payment in respect of a Tax that the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, including as the result of a Final Determination, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such Tax and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee, including any other Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount, including any other Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto, to the Indemnitee no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due to the applicable Taxing Authority or (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the other Party.

(b) If, as a result of any change or redetermination made with respect to Article II, any amount previously allocated to and borne by one Party pursuant to the provisions of Article II is thereafter allocated to the other Party, then, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after such change or redetermination, such other Party shall pay to such Party the amount previously borne by such Party which is allocated to such other Party as a result of such change or redetermination.

Section 5.3 Payment Mechanics.

(a) Subject to Section 10.7, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by KAR directly to Spinco and by Spinco directly to KAR; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the KAR Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 5.4.

(b) In the case of any payment of Taxes made by a Preparing Party or Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for which such Preparing Party or Indemnitee, as the case may be, has received a payment from the other Party, such Preparing Party or Indemnitee shall provide to the other Party a copy of any official government receipt received with respect to the payment of such Taxes to the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if no such official governmental receipts are available, executed bank payment forms or other reasonable evidence of payment).

Section 5.4 Treatment of Payments. The Parties agree that any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated, to the extent permitted by law, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as either (i) a non-taxable contribution by KAR to Spinco, or (ii) a distribution by Spinco to KAR, in each case, made immediately prior to the Distribution. Any Tax indemnity payment made by a Party under this Agreement shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such indemnity payment, the recipient Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

ARTICLE VI

TAX CONTESTS

Section 6.1 Notice. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Party or any member of its Group of a written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any pending or threatened audit, claim, dispute, suit, action, proposed assessment or other proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) concerning any Taxes for which the other Party may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to such Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Contest. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 6.1 (or to promptly forward any such notices or communications) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 6.2 Separate Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Separate Return, the Party having the liability for the Tax pursuant to this Agreement shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim, or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Controlling Party of such Tax Contest shall not take any action that could reasonably result in the increased liability for Taxes of the Non-Controlling Party or a member of the Non-Controlling Party’s Group without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.3 Joint Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return, KAR shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim, or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that such Tax Contest relates to Taxes for which Spinco has an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement, KAR shall (a) defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith, (b) keep Spinco informed in a timely manner of all actions proposed to be taken by KAR with respect to such Tax Contest (or, to the extent practicable, the portion of such Tax Contest that relates to Taxes for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to this Agreement) and (c) not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Spinco, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the extent such settlement relates to a material indemnification obligation of Spinco pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Other Tax Contests. KAR shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of any Tax Contest not covered under Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim, or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that such Tax Contest relates to Taxes for which Spinco has an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement, KAR shall (a) defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith, (b) keep Spinco informed in a timely manner of all actions proposed to be taken by KAR with respect to such Tax Contest (or, to the extent practicable, the portion of such Tax Contest that relates to Taxes for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to this Agreement) and (c) not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Spinco, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the extent such settlement relates to a material indemnification obligation of Spinco pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Obligation of Continued Notice. During the pendency of any Tax Contest or threatened Tax Contest, each of the Parties shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication received by it or a member of its respective Group from a Taxing Authority regarding any Tax Contest for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder. Such notice shall include copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Taxing Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such matters. Such notice shall be provided in a timely fashion; provided, however, that in the event that timely notice is not provided, a Party shall be relieved of its obligation to indemnify the other Party only to the extent that such delay results in actual increased costs or actual prejudice to such other Party.

Section 6.6 Settlement Rights. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment or settlement in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment or settlement the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment or settlement in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment or settlement in such Tax Contest; and (iii) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

Section 6.7 Tax Contest Costs and Expenses. In the event that a Tax Contest could reasonably impact the amount of Taxes, Tax Attributes, Refunds or other Tax benefits of both the Controlling Party and the Non-Controlling Party (taking into account the terms of this Agreement), the Non-Controlling Party shall reimburse the Controlling Party for its allocable share of costs and expenses (including employee compensation, court costs, filing fees and accounting, legal and other professional fees) based on the proportion that the amount of Taxes, Tax Attributes, Refunds, or other Tax benefits of the Non-Controlling Party that could reasonably be impacted by such Tax Contest bear to the whole amount that could be impacted by such Tax Contest.

ARTICLE VII

(iii) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation in connection with a Tax Matter; and

(iv) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any Tax Returns (including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents), documents, books, records or other information in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns of either Party or any member of either Party’s Group.

Each Party shall make its employees and facilities available, without charge, on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation.

Section 7.2 Consistent Treatment. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination to the contrary, each Party agrees not to take any position on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or otherwise, that is inconsistent with (a) the treatment of payments between the KAR Group and the Spinco Group as set forth in Section 5.4, or (b) the Intended Tax Treatment.

ARTICLE VIII

RETENTION OF RECORDS; ACCESS

Section 8.1 Retention of Records. For so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation (including any waivers or extensions thereof) and (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date, the Parties shall retain records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (collectively, “Tax Records”) in respect of Taxes of any member of either the KAR Group or the Spinco Group for any Pre-Distribution Period, Straddle Period, or Post-Distribution Period or for any Tax Contests relating to such Tax Returns. At any time after the Distribution Date that the KAR Group proposes to destroy such records or documents, it shall first notify the Spinco Group in writing and the Spinco Group shall be entitled to receive such records or documents proposed to be destroyed. At any time after the Distribution Date that the Spinco Group proposes to destroy such records or documents, it shall first notify the KAR Group in writing and the KAR Group shall be entitled to receive such records or documents proposed to be destroyed. The Parties shall notify each other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

Section 8.2 Access to Tax Records. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Party and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Taxing Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice, to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items pursuant to this Agreement. The Party seeking access to the records of the other Party shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such access, including any professional fees; provided, however, that if the access to Tax Records pursuant to this Section 8.2 results in a Refund, Tax benefit or other reduction in Taxes to the Party providing such access, the Party providing access shall reimburse the Party seeking access for the providing Party’s allocable portion of the costs and expenses of the Party seeking access, based on the amount of Refund, Tax benefit or other reduction in Taxes realized by the Party providing access.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 9.1 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.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 10.1 Conflicting Agreements. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section 10.2 Termination. This Agreement will terminate without further action at any time before the Distribution upon termination of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. If terminated, no Party will have any liability of any kind to the other Party or any other Person on account of this Agreement, except as provided in the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 10.3 Interest on Late Payments. With respect to any payment between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement not made by the due date set forth in this Agreement for such payment, the outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate in effect for underpayments under Section 6621 of the Code from such due date to and including the payment date.

Section 10.4 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, KAR shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Spinco shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither KAR nor Spinco would have entered into this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any successor by merger, acquisition of assets, or otherwise, to any of the parties hereto, to the same extent as if such successor had been an original party to this Agreement.

Section 10.6 Application to Present and Future Subsidiaries. This Agreement is being entered into by KAR and Spinco on behalf of themselves and the members of their respective Group. This Agreement shall constitute a direct obligation of each such Party and shall be deemed to have been readopted and affirmed on behalf of any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of KAR or Spinco in the future.

Section 10.7 Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable to (i) with respect to KAR, an Affiliate of KAR, or (ii) a bona fide third party in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of a Party hereto so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the relevant Party hereto by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party to this Agreement. No assignment permitted by this Section 10.7 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.8 No Fiduciary Relationship. The duties and obligations of the Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, contained herein are the extent of the duties and obligations contemplated by this Agreement; nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a fiduciary relationship between the Parties hereto, or any of their successors and permitted assigns, or create any relationship or obligations other than those explicitly described.

Section 10.9 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, benefit, reduction, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

Section 10.10 Further Assurances. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Parties hereto shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and documents, and take all such other actions, as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
