(b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership.

Accounting Matters Unless otherwise stated, all accounting terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings attributable thereto under IFRS and all determinations of an accounting nature required to be made hereunder shall be made in a manner consistent with IFRS.
Income Tax Matters (a) In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Grantee, are withheld or collected from Grantee.
(b) The Company shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Company or any of its affiliates may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting, or other event with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to such withholding) to satisfy the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations that arise with respect to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. The Company may take such action(s) without notice to the Grantee, and the Grantee shall have no discretion as to the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in such manner. If, however, any withholding event occurs with respect to the Restricted Stock Units other than upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, or if the Company for any reason does not satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as provided above in this Section 8(b), the Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Grantee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Grantee the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations.
(c) The Restricted Stock Unit Award evidenced by this Agreement, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Grantee in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units, is intended to be taxed under the provisions of Section 83 of the Code, and is not intended to provide and does not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code. Therefore, the Company intends to report as includible in the Grantee’s gross income for any taxable year an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units that vest (if any) during such taxable year, determined as of the date such Restricted Stock Units vest. In furtherance of this intended tax treatment, all vested Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically settled and payment to the Grantee shall be made as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest. The Grantee shall have no power to affect the timing of such settlement or payment. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement, without the Grantee’s consent, to the extent it reasonably determines from time to time that such amendment is necessary in order to achieve the purposes of this Section.
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”). 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.
