X.1 The Agent -- Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent to act as its agent in connection with this Agreement and any matter contemplated hereunder, and irrevocably authorizes the Agent to exercise such rights, powers and discretions as are delegated to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement together with all such rights, powers and discretions as are incidental hereto or thereto. The Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities which are expressly specified in this Agreement, and it may perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. This Agreement shall not place the Agent under any fiduciary duties in respect of any Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required by the Lenders to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected with respect to the Lenders in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Law.

The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its agents, officers or employees, its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ agents, officers or employees. The Agent hereby accepts each such appointment. Each such appointment may only be terminated as expressly provided in this Agreement.
