Each Bank appoints and designates AgStar Financial Services, PCA as Agent hereunder. The Agent may, and each Bank authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Interest, for Agent's benefit and the pro rata benefit of Banks. Each Bank agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Banks. Each Bank hereby further appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates who are owed Loan Obligations (each such Affiliate by acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents hereby ratifying such appointment) and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.
