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 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.
