Appointment and Authority (a) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB is hereby appointed as Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender originally named herein or who hereafter becomes a Lender hereunder hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as agent for the Lenders and to take such actions as the Lenders are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein (including in its role as “Collateral Agent”), together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition Administrative Agent shall have the power to issue and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to issue all of the Lenders’ consents and approvals and waivers hereunder, as directed by the Lenders in connection therewith if and to the extent such Lenders have the right to so direct hereunder. Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Powers and authority It has the power to enter into and perform, and has taken all necessary action to authorise the entry into and performance of, the Finance Documents to which it is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated by those Finance Documents.
Appointment and Authorization Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Agent and the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Appointed Agents”) as its agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each Appointed Agent, in its respective capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Appointed Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XIII. The provisions of this Article XIII (other than Sections 13.9, 13.10(a) and 13.10(b)) are solely for the benefit of the Appointed Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Appointed Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Appointed Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Appointed Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to any Appointed Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Appointed Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Appointed Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 2.4(g) and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.
