General Standards of Care Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Custodian of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):
Liability and Standard of Care 14.1. The Sub-Adviser shall exercise due care and diligence and use the same skill and care in providing its services hereunder as it uses in providing services to other investment companies, accounts and customers, but the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates and their respective agents, control persons, directors, officers, employees, supervised persons and access persons shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sub-Adviser in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any right which the Trust, a Fund or any shareholder of a Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law the applicability of which is not permitted to be contractually waived. In addition, to the extent the Sub-Adviser is acting under this Agreement with “non-discretionary” trading authority or “partially discretionary” trading authority, the Sub-Adviser will be liable for Losses (defined below) caused by the Sub-Adviser’s provision of a securities (or other financial instrument) purchase or sale recommendation to the Adviser or the Trading Adviser, but for which the Sub-Adviser failed to: (i) correctly identify one or more securities and/or financial instruments for purchase, sale, shorting, or closing out a short (e.g., wrong CUSIP number); (ii) provide the correct amount or percentage of the Fund’s investment portfolio for a particular security or financial instrument; (iii) accurately identify the type of transaction (e.g., buy, rather than short); or (iv) provide a particular recommendation to the Adviser in a timely manner (collectively, “Update Failures”).
