Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Peabody and Arch shall prepare such Tax returns in accordance with past practice. Peabody and Arch shall each deliver to the JV Company all Peabody Prepared Returns and Arch Prepared Returns, together with all supporting documentation, no later than ten days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return, and, if any Peabody Prepared Return or any Arch Prepared Return would reasonably be expected to result in or otherwise affect material Taxes of any JV Entity in any Post-Closing Taxable Period, Peabody or Arch, as the case may be, shall also deliver such Tax return, together with all supporting documentation to Arch or Peabody, as the case may be, no later than ten days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return, for review and reasonable comment by the JV Company and Arch or Peabody, as the case may be, and the party filing such Tax return shall incorporate any reasonable comments received no later than five days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return. Peabody and Arch shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine which of Peabody, Arch or the JV Company shall file such Tax return. If after complying with the immediately preceding sentence in good faith, Peabody and Arch are unable to agree on which of Peabody, Arch or the JV Company is responsible for filing such Tax return, then the JV Company shall be responsible for filing such Tax return. If the JV Company files any Tax return pursuant to this Section 6.21(a)(i) and if such Tax return shows Taxes as due and owing, Peabody or Arch, as applicable, shall pay the amount of Contributor Taxes with respect to such Tax return to the JV Company no later than the due date for filing such Tax return and the JV Company shall remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority. If either Peabody or Arch files any Tax return pursuant to this Section 6.21(a)(i), such Tax return shows Taxes as due and owing, and such Taxes were specifically included in Peabody Net Working Capital or Arch Net Working Capital, as the case may be, as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then the JV Company shall pay the amount of such identified Taxes to Peabody or Arch no later than the due date for filing such Tax return and Peabody or Arch, as the case may be, shall remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority.

Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller any income Tax Return described in the previous sentence, to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, within a reasonable period of time prior to the due date for any such Tax Return (after giving effect to any applicable extensions of time for filing) so that Seller may have an opportunity to review such Tax Return. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the reporting of any item on any Tax Return provided for the other Party’s review pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), Purchaser and Seller shall mutually choose an independent public accounting firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such firm shall be final. In the event of an impasse over such selection, the independent public accounting firm shall be selected by a single arbitrator appointed pursuant to the AAA Appointment Process. Expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be born evenly between Purchaser and Seller.

Purchaser and Seller agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Target Entities relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Seller, any extensions of the statute of limitations) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority; and (ii) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. (d) Purchaser agrees to give prompt notice to Seller of any Taxes or the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.1, provided that Purchaser’s failure to provide such notice to Seller shall not limit Purchaser’s rights under this Article VIII except to the extent Seller are materially prejudiced by such failure. Seller agrees to give prompt notice to Purchaser upon the receipt of any written notice by Seller of any pending or threatened audits or proceedings or other Actions relating to Taxes of the Target Entities. Seller shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding relating to a Tax Return that was prepared and filed by Seller pursuant to this Section 8.3. All other Tax Proceedings with respect to the Target Entities shall be controlled by Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the conduct of any such Tax Proceeding, (ii) the party not controlling such Tax Proceeding shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Tax Proceeding at their own expense, (iii) the party controlling such Tax Proceeding shall keep the other party reasonably informed of material developments concerning such Tax Proceeding and (iv) the party controlling such Tax Proceeding shall not settle such Tax Proceeding without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.

No election shall be made to have the provisions of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 apply to any taxable period of ASE beginning before January 1, 2018.
