Any Borrowing Base which becomes effective as a result of any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 4.1 or Section 5.3 4.4 (as applicable), (b) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Total Commitment Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts then in effect, (c) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents an increase from the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, such Borrowing Base shall be approved by all Banks, and (d) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents a decrease in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, or a reaffirmation of such prior Borrowing Base, such Borrowing Base shall be approved by Required Banks. Each Redetermination shall be made by Banks in their sole discretion. Without limiting such discretion, Borrower acknowledges and WPC acknowledge and agree agrees that Banks (i) may make such assumptions regarding appropriate existing and projected pricing for Hydrocarbons as they deem appropriate in their sole discretion, (ii) may make such assumptions regarding projected rates and quantities of future production of Hydrocarbons from the Mineral Interests owned by Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries as they deem appropriate in their sole discretion, (iii) may consider the projected cash requirements of the Credit Parties, (iv) are not required to consider any asset other than Proved Mineral Interests owned by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary which are subject to first and prior Liens in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Banks to the extent required by Section 6.1 5.1 hereof, and (v) may make such other assumptions, considerations and exclusions as Banks deem appropriate in the exercise of their sole discretion. It is further acknowledged and agreed that that, in connection with each Redetermination, each Bank may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, Borrower’s other assets, liabilities, fixed charges, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, price and production scenarios, interest rate and operating cost changes, in the exercise of its sole discretion and shall have no obligation in connection with any Redetermination to approve any increase from the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination. Promptly following any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Borrowing Base as redetermined, which Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement until the next Redetermination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial increase to the Borrowing Base set forth in Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the restrictions and procedures set forth above in this Section 4.3, but is instead is subject only to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2.

Any Borrowing Base which becomes effective as a result of any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the amount of the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.3 (as applicable)the Borrower, (b) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Total Commitment then in effect, (c) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents an increase from in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, such Borrowing Base shall must be approved by all BanksLenders, and (dc) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents a decrease in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, Redetermination or a reaffirmation of such prior Borrowing Base, such Borrowing Base shall must be approved by the Administrative Agent and Required BanksLenders. If a redetermined Borrowing Base is not approved by the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders within fifteen (15) days after the submission to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent of its recommended Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 3.02, or by all Lenders within such fifteen (15) day period in the case of any increase in the Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender that the recommended Borrowing Base has not been approved and request that each Lender submit to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days thereafter its proposed Borrowing Base. Promptly following the tenth day after the Administrative Agent’s request for each Lender’s proposed Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Borrowing Base for such Redetermination by calculating the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute Required Lenders (or all Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base). Each Redetermination shall be made by Banks in their sole discretion. Without limiting such discretion, Borrower and WPC acknowledge and agree that Banks (i) may make such assumptions regarding appropriate existing and projected pricing for Hydrocarbons as they deem appropriate the Lenders in their sole discretion, but based on the Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s usual and customary procedures for evaluating Oil and Gas Interests as such exist at the time of such Redetermination, and including adjustments to reflect the effect of any Hedging Contracts of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as such exist at the time of such Redetermination. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Redetermination shall be based upon the loan collateral value which the Administrative Agent and each Lender in its sole discretion (iiusing such methodology, assumptions and discount rates as the Administrative Agent and such Lender customarily uses in assigning collateral value to Oil and Gas Interests) may make assigns to the Borrowing Base Properties at the time in question and based upon such assumptions regarding projected rates other credit factors (including, without limitation, the assets, liabilities, cash flow, interest note changes, business, properties, prospects, management and quantities of future production of Hydrocarbons from the Mineral Interests owned by Borrower as they deem appropriate in their sole discretion, (iii) may consider the projected cash requirements ownership of the Credit Parties) as the Administrative Agent and such Lender customarily considers in evaluating similar oil and gas credits.

It is further acknowledged and agreed that each Bank may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate in the exercise of its sole discretion and shall have no obligation in connection with any Redetermination to approve any increase from nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amounts which the Administrative Agent and Lenders in effect prior their reasonable discretion determine and may redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until the Administrative Agent and Lenders receive all such Redetermination. Promptly following any Redetermination of information, reports and data, whereupon the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall designate a new Borrowing Base, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Borrowing Base as redetermineddescribed above. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DESIGNATE THE BORROWING BASE AT ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNTS, which Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such noticeEXCEPT IN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR DISCRETION, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement until the next RedeterminationWHETHER IN RELATION TO THE MAXIMUM FACILITY AMOUNT OR OTHERWISE.
