Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to accept or reject such request within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof and Buyer’s failure to respond promptly in writing shall be deemed to be a rejection of an extension request, at which point the Termination Date and Availability Period shall remain fixed.
