Unless the Company is a C corporation, the Stockholders shall pay or cause to be paid all Tax liabilities (in excess of all amounts already paid with respect thereto or properly accrued or reserved with respect thereto on the Company Financial Statements) shown by such Returns to be due.
(ii) TCI shall file or cause to be filed all separate Returns of, or that include, any Acquired Party for all taxable periods ending after the Funding and Consummation Date, and shall permit the Stockholders a reasonable opportunity to review all such Returns for periods including the Funding and Consummation Date prior to the filing thereof.

Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which such party may possess. Each party shall make its employees and independent certified public accountants reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

Filing of Tax Returns The Company has filed all necessary federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, and has paid all taxes shown as due thereon (other than those being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP), except where failure to so file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except as otherwise set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
Pre-Closing Tax Returns From and after the Closing, Peabody shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax returns required to be filed by the Peabody Transferred Subsidiaries or, other than Tax returns related to Income Taxes, with respect to the Peabody Contributed Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Peabody Prepared Returns”), and Arch shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax returns required to be filed by the Arch Transferred Subsidiaries or, other than Tax returns related to Income Taxes, with respect to the Arch Contributed Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Arch Prepared Returns”).

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.

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.
