If the nature or description of any claim also arises out of or in connection with any time period prior to Closing, or if the relevant time period cannot be ascertained from the nature or description of the claim, then Buyer’s obligation to indemnify Seller shall abide the result of any resolution of the claim in accordance with the Agreement and shall be limited to the portion finally determined to be solely related to the Buyer's Control Time Period. This Section 6 shall survive notwithstanding termination of this Second Amendment.
7. In consideration of Seller and Listco entering into this Second Amendment and other valuable considerations, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Seller each and every obligation of Buyer under this Second Amendment. Guarantor agrees that it is directly and primarily liable to Seller, that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Buyer under this Second Amendment, and that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor, whether action is brought against Buyer or whether Buyer is joined in any such action or actions.
