Within thirty (30) days after receiving such information, reports and data, the Required Lenders shall agree upon an amount for the Borrowing Base and shall by notice to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, designate such amount as the new Borrowing Base available to the Borrower hereunder, which designation shall take effect immediately on the date such notice is sent (herein called a “Determination Date”) and shall remain in effect until but not including the next date as of which the Borrowing Base is redetermined or adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports and data by the date specified in the first sentence of this section, the Required Lenders may nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amount which Required Lenders determine and may redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until each Lender receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon the Required Lenders shall designate a new Borrowing Base as described above. The Required Lenders shall provide written notice concurrently to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any determination, designation or redesignation of the Borrowing Base pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The Required Lenders shall determine the amount of the Borrowing Base based upon the loan collateral value which they in their discretion assign to the various Oil and Gas Properties included in the Borrowing Base Properties at the time in question and based upon such other credit factors (including without limitation the assets, liabilities, cash flow, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate changes, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of the Borrower and its Affiliates and Operating Joint Ventures) as they in their discretion deem significant.

Decisions regarding the amount of the Borrowing Base will be made by the Lenders in good faith in accordance with their respective usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time. The amount of the Borrowing Base will be the largest amount approved by the Required Lenders in connection with the determination thereof. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any redetermination of the Borrowing Base that increases the Borrowing Base by an amount (the “Increased Borrowing Base Amount”) in excess of the Borrowing Base then in effect and one or more Lenders (each, a “Non-increasing Lender”) does not approve such increase, in which case, such Non-increasing Lender shall not be obligated to make Loans to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage Share of such Increased Borrowing Base Amount and such new increased Borrowing Base shall be deemed immediately reduced on the Determination Date by an amount (the “Reduction Amount”) equal to the product of the Revolving Commitment Percentage Shares of all Non- increasing Lenders times such Increased Borrowing Base Amount; provided that the Borrowing Base shall not be deemed reduced if and to the extent one or more Eligible Transferees agrees to increase or establish, as applicable, its Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Reduction Amount.
