(3)		Pursuant to Rules 456(b) and 457(r), the Registrants elect to defer payment of all of the registration fees, except for $178,422.50, which is the remainder of (i) an initial registration fee of $353,100 paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to $3,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants previously registered yet unissued under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-124749) of the Registrants filed on May 9, 2005, minus (ii) a subsequent registration fee of $174,677.50 due to the SEC and offset against the $353,100, with respect to $900,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants issued on October 12, 2006 and $732,500,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants issued on December 20, 2006, each under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-136108) of the Registrants filed on July 28, 2006.

(1)		Pursuant to Rules 456(b) and 457(r), the Registrants elect to defer payment of all of the registration fees, except for $178,422.50, which is the remainder of (i) an initial registration fee of $353,100 paid to the SEC with respect to $3,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants previously registered yet unissued under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-124749) of the Registrants filed on May 9, 2005, minus (ii) a subsequent registration fee of $174,677.50 due to the SEC and offset against the $353,100, with respect to $900,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants issued on October 12, 2006 and $732,500,000 aggregate initial offering price of securities of the Registrants issued on December 20, 2006, each under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-136108) of the Registrants filed on July 28, 2006.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Delaware

Delaware Corporation Registrants

Peabody Energy Corporation, Arid Operations, Inc., Big Sky Coal Company, BTU Western Resources, Inc., Colorado Yampa Coal Company, Cottonwood Land Company, Cyprus Creek Land Company, Gallo Finance Company, Highwall Mining Services Company, Juniper Coal Company, Kayenta Mobile Home Park, Inc., Midwest Coal Acquisition Corp., Peabody America, Inc., Peabody Energy Generation Holding Company, Peabody Energy Investments, Inc., Peabody Energy Solutions, Inc., Peabody International Investments, Inc., Peabody International Services, Inc., Peabody Investments Corp., Peabody Natural Resources Company, Peabody Southwestern Coal Company, Peabody Terminal Holding Company, Inc., Peabody Venezuela Coal Corp., Peabody Western Coal Company, Pond River Land Company, Riverview Terminal Company and Shoshone Coal Corporation (the “Delaware Corporation Registrants”) are incorporated in the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that, among other things, a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as

II-1

well as other employees and agents of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Article Sixth of our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) and Article IV of our amended and restated by-laws requires indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) requires indemnification and the advancement of expenses incurred by officers or directors in relation to any action, suit or proceeding. Similar provisions are contained in the certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws of the other Delaware Corporation Registrants.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability (i) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (certain illegal distributions) or (iv) for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders. Article Sixth of our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) includes such a provision.

In connection with our existing indemnification procedures and policies and the rights provided for by our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated by-laws, we have executed indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.

Pursuant to those agreements, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, we have agreed to indemnify those persons against any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the indemnified person is or was or has agreed to serve at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent, or while serving as our director or officer, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for purposes of the indemnification agreements, includes a trustee, partner, manager or a position of similar capacity) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity. The indemnification provided by these agreements is from and against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnified person or on his or her behalf in connection with the action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnified person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnified person’s conduct was unlawful.

II-2

We have obtained officers’ and directors’ liability insurance which insures against liabilities that our officers and directors, in such capacities, may incur.

The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any agreement, vote of members or disinterested directors or otherwise.

The Operating Agreements of the Delaware LLC Registrants generally provide that the company shall indemnify the member, each director, manager, officer, employee, shareholder, controlling person, agent and representative of the LCC or the member with respect to claims arising out of or incidental to the business or activities related to the LLC, if such indemnitee determined in good faith that such

II-3

conduct was in the best interest of the LLC and such indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct and was within the scope of the indemnitee’s authority.

Each Delaware limited liability company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer of such limited liability company against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not such limited liability company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the respective provisions of the limited liability company agreement or otherwise.

Indiana

Indiana LLC Registrants

Section 23-18-4-4 of the Indiana LLC Law provides that a written operating agreement may provide for indemnification of a member or manager for monetary damages for judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, or expenses incurred in a proceeding to which a person is a party because the person is or was a member or manager.

The Operating Agreement of Peabody Arclar Mining, LLC provides that the company shall indemnify each officer with respect to liabilities to which such person is, or is threatened to be made, a party because such person is or was serving at the request of the company as an officer of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another entity, provided that the officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer to be in the best interests of the company or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, the officer had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

The Operating Agreements of the other Indiana LLC Registrants provide that the company shall indemnify the member, each director, manager, officer, employee, shareholder, controlling person, agent and representative of the LCC or the member with respect to claims arising out of or incidental to the business or activities related to the LLC, if such indemnitee determined in good faith that such conduct was in the best interest of the LLC and such indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct and was within the scope of the indemnitee’s authority.

Illinois

The bylaws of Big Ridge, Inc. and Century Mineral Resources, Inc. provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Illinois Business Corporation Act (“IBCA”), as amended, as it currently exists or may hereafter be amended.

Section 8.75 of the IBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or

II-4

In the case of actions on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may extend only to reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit and only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no such indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation except to the extent that the adjudicating court otherwise provides.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective amendment to this registration statement:

	(i)		To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

	(ii)		To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

	(iii)		To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

			Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

	(2)		That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(3)		To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

	(4)		That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by a registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

II-12

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

	(i)		Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

	(ii)		Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

	(iii)		The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

	(iv)		Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

	(6)		That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(7)		Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing

II-13

provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-14
