(b)           Purchasers shall be entitled to all income, proceeds, receipts and credits earned with respect to the Assets at or after the Effective Time, and shall be responsible for (and entitled to any refunds with respect to) all Property Costs attributable to periods from and after the Effective Time.

In each case, Purchasers shall be responsible for the portion allocated to the period at and after the Effective Time and Seller shall be responsible for the portion allocated to the period before the Effective Time.

Section 7.5
Public Announcements.
 
No party hereto shall make any press release or other public announcement regarding the existence of this Agreement, the contents hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Seller or Purchasers, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld of delayed); provided, however, the foregoing shall not restrict disclosures by Purchasers or Seller that are required by applicable securities or other laws or regulations or the applicable rules of any stock exchange having jurisdiction over the disclosing party or its Affiliates.
 
 
Section 7.6
Operation of Business.
 
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.6, until the Closing, Seller (a) will operate their business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices, (b) will not, without the prior written consent of Purchasers (i) commit to any operation, or series of related operations, reasonably anticipated by Seller to require future capital expenditures by the owner of the Assets in excess of $250,000, (ii) make any capital expenditures in excess of $250,000, (iii) terminate, materially amend, execute or extend any Material Contract or other material agreements affecting the Assets; (iv) take any action or refrain from taking any action, or enter into any contract or agreement that would result in the imposition of any lien or encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on any of the Assets; or (v) file any material lawsuit relating to the Assets or cancel, compromise, waive, release or settle any right, claim or lawsuit relating to the Assets, other than immaterial rights and claims in the ordinary course of business, (c) will maintain insurance coverage on the Assets presently furnished by nonaffiliated third parties in the amounts and of the types presently in force, (d) will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all Surface Contracts, (e) will maintain all governmental permits and approvals affecting the Assets, (f) will not transfer, sell, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Assets except for sales and dispositions of Equipment  made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and (g) will not commit to do any of the foregoing. The approval of Purchasers of any action restricted by this Section 7.6 shall be considered granted within ten (10) days (unless a shorter time is reasonably required by the circumstances and such shorter time is specified in Seller’s written notice) of Seller’s notice to Purchasers requesting such consent unless either of Purchasers notifies Seller to the contrary in writing during that period. In the event of an emergency, Seller may take such action as a prudent operator would take and shall notify Purchasers of such action promptly thereafter.
 
 
Section 7.7
Transfer Requirements.
 
(a)           The purchase of the Assets by Purchasers is expressly subject to all validly existing and applicable Transfer Requirements.  Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall initiate all procedures that in Seller’s good faith judgment are reasonably required to comply with all Transfer Requirements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all applicable consents.  Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration to (or incur any cost or expense for the benefit of) the holder of any Transfer Requirement in order to comply therewith.
 
(b)   To the extent that the consent to assign any Material Contract is not obtained by Closing (a "Retained Material Contract") and until such time that such Retained Material Contract is assigned by Seller to Purchasers pursuant to this Section 7.7(b), (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Purchasers to provide Purchasers with all of the economic and other benefits of such Retained Material Contract that Purchasers are

                                                     
16
 

 
 
denied or deprived as a result of the failure to assign such Retained Material Contract at Closing; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Seller be obligated to provide any economic or other benefits to Purchasers that are greater than the economic or other benefits actually received by Seller under such Retained Material Contract, and (ii) Purchasers shall bear the economic and other burdens of all related liabilities and of the performance and compliance with the terms of such Retained Material Contract, at no additional cost to Seller, to the same extent as Purchasers would have borne such liabilities and other obligations if Purchasers were a party to such Retained Material Contract.  Following Closing, subject to the last sentence of Section 7.7(a), Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent to assign each Retained Material Contract to Purchasers. Once Seller obtains the consent to assign to Purchasers a Retained Material Contract, Seller shall promptly assign such Retained Material Contract to Purchasers and such Retained Material Contract shall automatically be deemed to be an Asset effective as of the effective date of such assignment.
 
(c)           If a Surface Contract is subject to a Transfer Requirement and such Transfer Requirement is not waived, complied with or otherwise satisfied prior to the Closing Date, then, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Seller and Purchasers, the Surface Contract or portion thereof affected by such Transfer Requirement together with all flow lines, pipelines, equipment, machinery, fixtures and other tangible personal property and improvements located on and related to such Surface Contract (collectively, a “Retained Asset”) shall be withheld from the Assets to be transferred and conveyed to Cowtown at Closing, and such Retained Asset shall be added to the properties that are subject to and bound by the Lease Agreement that is executed and delivered at Closing.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing shall not be reduced and the rent to be paid by Cowtown to Seller under the Lease Agreement shall not be increased on account of any Retained Asset.  Any Retained Asset so held back and added to the Lease Agreement at the Closing will be released from the Lease Agreement and conveyed to Cowtown at a delayed closing within ten (10) days following the date on which Seller obtains, complies with or otherwise satisfies all Transfer Requirements with respect to the surface contract included within such Retained Asset (such date being the “Closing Date” with respect to such Retained Asset) and such Retained Asset shall automatically be deemed to be an Asset effective as of the Closing Date applicable to such Retained Asset.
 
 
Section 7.8
Tax Matters.
 
(a)           Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3, Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes related to the Assets (including without duplication, Seller’s portion of any ad valorem, property, and similar Taxes based upon or measured by the ownership or operation of the Assets, which are addressed in Section 1.4) attributable to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time, and Purchasers shall be responsible for all such Taxes related to the Assets attributable to any period of time after the Effective Time. Regardless of which party is responsible, Seller shall handle payment to the appropriate Governmental Body of all Taxes with respect to the Assets that are required to be paid prior to Closing (and shall file all Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes). If requested by Purchasers, Seller will assist Purchasers with preparation of all ad valorem and property Tax Returns attributable to the period on or before December 31, 2009 (including any extensions requested). Seller shall deliver to Purchasers within thirty (30) days of filing copies of all Tax Returns filed by Seller after the Effective Time relating to the Assets and any supporting documentation provided by Seller to taxing authorities, excluding Tax Returns related to income tax, franchise tax or other similar Taxes.

                                                     
17
 

 
 
(b)           Purchasers agree to reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Purchasers) with Seller so that Seller’s transfer of all or any portion designated by Seller of the Assets to Purchasers shall, at Seller’s election, be accomplished in a manner enabling the transfer to qualify as a part of a like-kind exchange of property by Seller within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  If Seller so elects, Purchasers shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to effect such like-kind exchange, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, taking such actions as Seller reasonably requests in order to pay the Purchase Price in a manner that enables such transfer to qualify as part of a like-kind exchange of property within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code, and Purchasers agree that Seller may assign its rights (but not  its obligations) under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k) – 1(g)(4)(iii) under United States Treasury Regulations, to qualify the transfer of the Purchase Price as a part of a like-kind exchange of property within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code. Seller and Purchasers acknowledge and agree that any assignment of this Agreement to a qualified intermediary shall not release Seller from any of its liabilities and obligations to Purchasers under this Agreement, and that neither Seller nor either of Purchasers represents to Purchasers or Seller, as applicable, that any particular tax treatment will be given to any party hereto as a result thereof.
 
 
Section 7.9
Further Assurances.
 
After Closing, Seller and Purchasers each agree to take such further actions and to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further documents as are reasonably requested by the other party for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement or of any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 
Section 7.10
Eni GGA.
 
If Eni exercises its right to have its natural gas gathered pursuant to the terms of the Eni GGA during the initial term of the Eni GGA (which initial term expires on March 31, 2019), Seller shall pay to Purchasers, on a monthly basis, for the volume of natural gas gathered for Eni pursuant to the Eni GGA during the month in question, the difference between the gathering fee per MMBtu that is from time to time payable by Quicksilver pursuant to the QRI GGA and the gathering fee per MMBtu that is from time to time payable by Eni pursuant to the Eni GGA.
 
 
Section 7.11
Rights-of-Way Amendments.
 
The parties acknowledge that certain of the Excluded Rights-of-Way do not allow the laying of a twenty inch pipe and that Purchasers intend to seek amendments from the grantors of such rights-of-way to allow the laying by Purchasers of twenty inch pipe.  Such amendments shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and, subject to the immediately following sentences, shall be obtained by Purchasers at the sole cost and expense of Purchasers.  Purchasers acknowledge that, in certain instances, the existing pipe that was laid pursuant to an Excluded Right-of-Way was laid outside of the right-of-way that was granted pursuant thereto.  To the extent that the consideration that Purchasers are required to pay to the grantor of such an Excluded Right-of-Way for an amendment thereto is increased as a result of the fact that existing pipe has been laid outside of the right-of-way that was granted thereby, Seller agrees that it shall promptly reimburse Purchasers for the difference between the consideration that Purchasers pay the grantor for such amendment and the consideration that Seller would have had to pay the grantor for such amendment had the existing pipe been properly laid within the right-of-way.

(d)           Additional Provisions.
 
It is the intention of the parties that this Article 11 shall govern the allocation of risks and liabilities between Purchasers and Seller except to the extent that it is expressly stated (whether elsewhere in this Article 11 or in some other Article hereof) that the provisions of such other Article (or part thereof) shall control over the terms of all or part of this Article 11.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 11.4 contains the parties’ exclusive remedy against Seller or Purchasers, or applicable, with respect to breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties contained in Articles 5 and 6 and Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.10 and 7.11 and the affirmations of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the certificate delivered by each party at Closing pursuant to Section 9.2(b) or 9.3(c), as applicable.
 
 
Section 11.5
Indemnification Actions.
 
All claims for indemnification under Section 11.4 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
 
(a)           For purposes of this Article 11, the term “Indemnifying Party” shall mean the party or parties having an obligation to indemnify the other party or parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The term “Indemnified Party” shall mean the party or parties having the right to be indemnified by the other party or parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)           To make a claim for indemnification (“Indemnity Claim”) under Section 11.4 and/or any other Article (or part thereof) expressly stating that it controls over the terms of this Article 11, an Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of its Indemnity Claim, including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its Indemnity Claim (the “Claim Notice”).  The Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Claim for which it seeks indemnification and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 11.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 11.4 except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Claim or otherwise prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Claim. In the event that the Indemnity Claim is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was inaccurate or breached.
 
(c)           The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party whether it admits or denies its liability to defend the Indemnified Party against the relevant Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is authorized, prior to and during such 30-day period, to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.
 
(d)           If the Indemnifying Party admits its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Claim.

                                               
27
 

 
 
The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in contesting any Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.5(d). An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto that does not include an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim, or (ii) settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity).
 
(e)           If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party or admits its liability but fails to diligently prosecute or settle the Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against the Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its liability and assume the defense of the Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its liability for a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the Claim and, (ii) if liability is so admitted, reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement.
 
 
Section 11.6
Release.
 
(a)           EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASERS RELEASE, REMISE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE SELLER INDEMNITEES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR ARISING IN THE FUTURE, CONTINGENT OR OTHERWISE, WHICH PURCHASERS MIGHT NOW OR SUBSEQUENTLY MAY HAVE AGAINST SELLER INDEMNITEES, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR INCIDENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, THE  RELEASE OF MATERIALS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT OR PROTECTION OF HUMAN HEALTH, SAFETY, NATURAL RESOURCES OR THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, RIGHTS TO CONTRIBUTION UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT OF 1980, AS AMENDED, REGARDLESS OF FAULT.
 
(b)           Each of Purchasers covenants and agrees that it will not attempt to avoid the effect of the release made by it hereinabove by later arguing that at the time of the release it did not fully appreciate the extent of any such environmental Claims.
 
 
Section 11.7

(c)           Seller shall not have any liability for any indemnification under Section 11.4(c)(i) for any representation or warranty that is not qualified by Material Adverse Effect unless and until the aggregate amount of the liability for all Claims for which Claim Notices are delivered by Purchasers pursuant thereto exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, and then only to the extent such damages exceed such one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price.
 
(d)           Purchasers shall not have any liability for any indemnification under Section 11.4(b)(iv) for any representation or warranty that is not qualified by material adverse effect unless and until the aggregate amount of the liability for all Claims for which Claim Notices are delivered by Seller pursuant thereto exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, and then only to the extent such damages exceed such one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchasers under Section 11.4(c)(i) for aggregate damages in excess of an amount equal to eighteen percent (18%) of the Purchase Price.

AGREEMENTS
 
IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees as follows:
 
1.   Obligations
 
Subject to Section 8 of this Guaranty, Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment and performance of all present and future payments, indemnifications or other obligations required to be performed by Seller to the Beneficiaries which now exist or hereafter arise under the Purchase Agreement (the “Obligations”).
 
2.   Nature of Guaranty
 
(a)           This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and may be enforced by the Beneficiaries directly against Guarantor without any requirement that the Beneficiaries must first exercise their rights against Seller.  There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Guaranty.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
 
(i)           any change in the name, the capital, or the partnership documents of Seller;
 
(ii)           any amalgamation, merger or re-organization of Seller (in which case this Guaranty shall apply to the corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, as the case may be, resulting or continuing therefrom);
 
(iii)           at any time or from time to time, without notice to Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
 
(iv)           the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented, increased or amended in any respect or any right under the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (other than this Guaranty) shall be waived or any other guarantee of the Obligations or any other letter of credit, guaranty or security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
 
(v)           at any time, the Obligations, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto shall cease to be valid or enforceable, other than the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms; or
 
(vi)           one of the following events shall occur with respect to Guarantor: (a) Guarantor institutes a voluntary case seeking liquidation or reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law or shall consent to the institution of an involuntary case thereunder against it; (b) Guarantor files a petition, answer or consent or shall otherwise institute any similar proceeding under any other applicable Law, or shall consent thereto; (c) Guarantor applies for, or by consent there shall be an appointment of, a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee or other officer with similar powers for itself or any substantial part of its assets; (d) Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Guarantor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (f) if an involuntary case shall be commenced seeking the liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor under applicable bankruptcy law or any similar proceeding shall be commenced against Guarantor under any other applicable Law and (i) the petition commencing the involuntary case is not timely controverted; (ii) the petition commencing the involuntary case is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing; (iii) an interim trustee is appointed to take possession of all or a portion of the property, and/or to operate all or any part of the business of Guarantor and such appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days; or (iv) an order for relief shall have been issued or entered therein; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee or other officer having similar powers of Guarantor or of all or a part of its property, shall have been entered; or (g) any other similar relief shall be granted against Guarantor under any applicable Law.
 
(b)           This Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection, and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are primary obligations of Guarantor, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Seller or any other Person or whether Seller or any other Person is joined in such action or actions.
 
(c)           Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Guaranty are made voluntarily and unconditionally after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Guarantor otherwise may have against Seller or any other Person.  If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
 
3.   Liability as Primary Debtor
 
All debts, liabilities and obligations incurred by Seller to the Beneficiaries under or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall form part of the Obligations despite (a) any incapacity, disability, or lack or limitation of status, authorization or power of Seller or any of its directors, officers or agents (other than incapacity, disability or lack or limitation of status, authorization or power of which the Beneficiaries have been given actual notice by Seller or Guarantor); (b) Seller not being a legal entity; (c) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Seller; and (d) any lack of a written contract or of execution of documents by Seller if Seller has agreed in writing with the Beneficiaries to be bound by transactions without such writing or execution.  Any such debts, liabilities and obligations which may not be recoverable from Guarantor as guarantor shall be recoverable from Guarantor as principal debtor upon demand and with interest, calculated and payable as provided in this Guaranty.
 
4.   Continuing Guaranty
 
This is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to and secure the payment and performance of all Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Beneficiaries upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Seller or for any other reason whatsoever, all as though such payment had not been made.
 
5.   Term
 
This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect (a) with respect to the Obligations arising under Section 7.10 of the Purchase Agreement, until March 31, 2019, and (b) with respect to all other Obligations arising under the Purchase Agreement, until thirty (30) months from the Closing Date.  Any such termination shall not affect Guarantor’s liability for amounts due pursuant to Obligations with respect to any written notice of claim or demand given to Guarantor by the Beneficiaries prior to (i) March 31, 2019, with respect to the Obligations arising under Section 7.10 of the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the expiration of such thirty (30) month period, with respect to all other Obligations arising under the Purchase Agreement.
 
6.   Right to Payment
 
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty will not be affected by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral or security for the Obligations.  The Beneficiaries shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations if Seller becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding and the failure of the Beneficiaries to do so shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.  Except as provided in Section 8 of this Guaranty, the Beneficiaries shall not be bound to seek or exhaust their recourse against Seller or any other Person or to realize on any security it may hold in respect of the Obligations before being entitled to payment under this Guaranty.
 
7.           Dealings by Beneficiaries
 
The Beneficiaries may, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Guarantor, enter into agreements and transactions with Seller, amend or modify agreements with Seller, settle or compromise any of the Obligations, grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, whether full, partial, conditional or otherwise, perfect or fail to perfect any securities, release any undertaking, property or assets charged by any securities to third parties and otherwise deal or fail to deal with Seller and others (including, without limitation, any other guarantors), all as the Beneficiaries may see fit, without prejudice to or in any way discharging or diminishing the liability of Guarantor and no loss of or in respect of any securities received by the Beneficiaries from Seller or any other Persons, whether occasioned through the fault of the Beneficiaries or otherwise, shall in any way discharge or diminish the liability of Guarantor.
 
8.           Payment
 
If Seller fails to pay or perform any Obligation when due, Guarantor’s obligation to pay or perform that Obligation shall arise only upon the Beneficiaries' demand (“Demand”) in accordance with this Guaranty.  Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Guarantor shall pay or commence to perform the Obligations set forth in such Demand within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Demand. A Demand shall be in writing and shall reasonably specify in what manner and what amount Seller has failed to pay or perform an Obligation and provide an explanation of why such payment or performance of such Obligation is due, with a specific statement that Beneficiaries are calling upon Guarantor to pay or perform such Obligations under this Guaranty. A single written Demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default, until such default has been cured, and additional written demands concerning such default shall not be required until such default is cured.  Each Demand shall be delivered to Guarantor’s address set forth in this Guaranty or at such other address as Guarantor may from time to time designate to the Beneficiaries in writing.
 
9.           Waivers
 
Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice of protest, acceleration or dishonor and all demands whatsoever other than the Demand described in Section 8 of this Guaranty.  Any failure of the Beneficiaries to exercise, any course of dealing with respect to, and any delay by the Beneficiaries (other than a delay that gives rise to a defense under an applicable statute of limitation) in exercising, any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty shall not operate as a waiver of such right, remedy or power.  Any single or partial exercise by either of the Beneficiaries of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty shall not preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power.
 
10.           Limitations
 
Except to the extent that the Purchase Agreement expressly provides that Seller shall have liability for damages other than direct, actual damages, THE LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT, ACTUAL DAMAGES AND GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST BENEFITS, LOSS OF ENTERPRISE VALUE, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OF ANY BUSINESS, DAMAGE TO REPUTATION OR LOSS TO GOODWILL.
 
11.           Subrogation Rights
 
Until an Obligation has been paid in full, Guarantor shall not have any right to be subrogated to any rights of the Beneficiaries with respect to that Obligation.  Upon payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Beneficiaries against Seller with respect to that Obligation, and the Beneficiaries agree to take, at Guarantor’s expense, such steps as Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation.  If any amount is paid to Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guaranty in violation of this Section 11, such amount shall be held in trust by Guarantor for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and shall be promptly paid to the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
 
12.           Set-off
 
Guarantor reserves the right to set off any amounts or obligations due by the Beneficiaries to Seller under the Purchase Agreement against any payments or performance of the Obligations due under this Guaranty; provided, the foregoing right of set off shall not apply with respect to any amounts or obligations which are being contested in good faith by the Beneficiaries.  In the event Guarantor sets off amounts owed by it to the Beneficiaries against amounts or obligations owed by the Beneficiaries to Seller, Guarantor shall indemnify and hold the Beneficiaries harmless against any claims by Seller for payment of the set off amounts.
 
13.           Representations and Warranties
 
Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiaries that (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty are within Guarantor’s powers, have been duly authorized by any necessary action and do not violate Guarantor's by-laws, articles of incorporation or any Law, or contractual restriction binding on Guarantor, (c) any governmental and other consents required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with, and (d) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other Laws affecting enforcement of creditors rights in general and general principles of equity).
 
14.           Additional Security
 
This Guaranty is in addition and without prejudice to any security of any kind (including, without limitation, any other guarantees, whether or not in the same form) held by the Beneficiaries.
