     On July 1, 2003, Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation, issued
a press release announcing the redemption of $53 million of 14.75 percent Second
Mortgage  Notes due in 2009. The notes were redeemed at 106 percent of par value
and were funded by a new $70 million second lien note single draw facility.  The
new $70  million  facility  is a combined  LIBOR  based  floating  and seven and
one-half  percent fixed  interest  rate  commitment  with a termination  date of
December 31, 2006. A total of $30 million of the $70 million facility will be at
