If the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any, or the Supermajority Lenders (as applicable) fail to approve the Annual Proposed Borrowing Base within such 15 days, then no later than five days after the end of such 15-day period, the Lenders shall submit to the Administrative Agent in writing, or the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any, for, their individual recommendations for the redetermined Borrowing Base in accordance with their respective normal and customary practices and standards for oil and gas loans (including consideration of the Company’s liquidity, Derivative Contracts, market interest rates, commodity prices, permitted Indebtedness and capital expenditure requirements), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall designate the Borrowing Base at the largest amount approved by the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any, or the Supermajority Lenders (as applicable); provided, however, that it is expressly understood that the Lenders and Administrative Agent have no obligation to agree upon or designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount. If any Lender refuses to accept an Annual Proposed Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), the Company shall have the right, without the consent of the Lenders but with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to cause the Commitment of such dissenting Lender to be replaced pursuant to Section 3.7.
