Related to Certain Limitations and Indemnification Procedures
Limitations on Indemnification (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of any Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2 unless the liability of Seller in respect of such Buyer Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Seller in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2, exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Losses. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller under Section 7.2 of this Agreement exceed $2,000,000 (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(iii) or Section 7.2(iv) or with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in the first and second sentences of Section 3.2, Section 3.2(e), Section 3.8 and Section 3.10. Seller may satisfy any obligations arising pursuant to this Article 7 in any combination of cash or the surrender of Consideration Units for redemption (valued at $21.00 per Consideration Unit); provided that, Seller must provide written notice to Buyer of the intent to make a payment (in whole or in part) by surrendering Consideration Units for redemption at least five business days prior to the due date of any such payment. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of the Seller Indemnified Parties on account of any Seller Indemnified Loss under Section 7.3 unless the liability of Buyer in respect of such Seller Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Buyer in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses under Section 7.3, exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Buyer in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Threshold Amount. In no event shall Buyer be liable under Section 7.3 of this Agreement for any amount in excess of the Ceiling Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(iii) or Section 7.3(iv) or with respect the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.6. (c) The amount of indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim. (d) The amount of any indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any proceeds of insurance actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, in connection with such claim; provided, however, the foregoing shall not bar any insurance company that has made any payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party from pursuing its lawful rights to subrogation. (e) Except as set forth in Section 9.6(b), the parties agree that the indemnification provisions in this Article 7 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any claims between the parties concerning this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

State Street shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section XVI, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. State Street shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless caused by or resulting from the negligence, reckless misconduct, willful malfeasance or lack of good faith of State Street, its officers or employees and, in such event, such liability will be subject to the limitations set forth in Section XIII herein.

In the event that State Street is required to provide indemnification under this Section XII, its liability shall be limited as described under Section XIII below.

Any person, even though also an officer, partner, employee, or agent of Sub-Adviser, who may be or become a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering services to a Fund or the Trust or acting with respect to any business of a Fund or the Trust to be rendering such service to or acting solely for the Fund or the Trust and not as an officer, partner, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction of Sub-Adviser even though paid by it.
Indemnification Limitations (a) In no event shall the Sellers be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Status), Section 4.2 (Authority), the first two sentences of each of Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (Taxes), and Section 4.21 (Finder’s Fee) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 10.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses from the first dollar, including both the Threshold Amount and any amounts in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (i) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) in an aggregate amount in excess of $18,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), or (ii) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) to the extent such Loss and all Losses arising out of the same facts and circumstances are, in the aggregate, less than $15,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) (and such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount unless and until such Losses arising out of the same facts or circumstances exceed the De Minimis Loss amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of an indemnification claim for any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of Section 4.20(b) (Products Liability; Warranty) in which to propose a commercially reasonable alternative to satisfy such claim, including the repair, replacement or redelivery of any products that are the subject of such claim, which such commercially reasonable alternative is subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that any and all costs or other Losses imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of such alternative shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, be considered indemnifable Losses). Purchaser shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap. (b) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (after deduction for any cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (each, a “Collateral Source”), (ii) any prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses, including by such Loss being included as a Liability in Final Net Working Capital and actually resulting in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4(f), or (iii) any Tax Benefit actually received by a Purchased Entity with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Honeywell may, in its sole discretion, require the Indemnified Party to grant to Honeywell an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article X or Article VIII is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article X or Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article X or Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. (c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Sellers or Purchaser be liable for any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are payable to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) in no event shall the Sellers be liable for any consequential damages (it being understood and agreed that the term “consequential damages” used herein shall not include damages related to lost profits, diminution in value (including multiple of earnings or similar metrics for measuring damages), nor damages payable to an unaffiliated third party) arising out of indemnification claims for Excluded Liabilities described in Sections 2.5(a)(iv), (v)(A), (vii)(B), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), and (xiv) and Section 2.5(b)(vi) (each such indemnification claim, a “Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim”) in excess of $28,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitation on consequential damages shall not apply to the extent any such Excluded Liability relates to the Excluded Assets, the Purchased Entities’ Excluded Assets, or operation or conduct by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any business (other than the Business). Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, in good faith, (x) agree upon what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages in connection with the settlement of a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim and (y) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to determine what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages as part of any Governmental Order that is entered by such Governmental Authority in connection with a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim. (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification and specific performance pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, Section 6.14 and Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims (whether in contract or in tort) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than remedies set forth in the Ancillary Agreements with regard to the transactions contemplated thereby), including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Intellectual Property, products liability (including Products Liability Claims), Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article X and Article VIII. All payments made pursuant to this Article X and Article VIII shall be made by the Sellers to Purchaser or by Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article X shall limit any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party alleging that Sellers defrauded such Person by intentionally omitting or misstating any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule where such omission or misstatement constitutes a breach in any material respect of any express representation or warranty, which claims shall, in any case, be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.23, 5.7(a)-(d), 11.7 and 11.8. (e) The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event that the Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Sellers’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.

The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor, Trust, Funds, Transfer Agent and their respective subsidiaries, Affiliated Persons, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each a “Participant-Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, collectively “Losses”) incurred by such Participant-Indemnified Party as a result of (i) any breach by the Participant of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Participant to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Participant to comply with applicable Law; (iv) representations by any Distributor-Indemnified Party or any Participant Client about the Shares or any Participant-Indemnified Party (including the Trust and/or Fund(s)) that is not included in the Trust’s then-current Prospectus; (v) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Section 8.b Materials or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the Shares or any Participant-Indemnified Party unless, in either case, such representation, statement or omission was included by the Participant at the written direction of the Trust or the Distributor or taken verbatim (in context and without omission) from the Prospectus or marketing material approved by the Distributor and the Trust; and (vi) actions of such Participant-Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions issued to the Trust, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent reasonably believed by any of them to be genuine and to have been given by the Participant or an Authorized Person. The foregoing shall not apply to any Losses incurred by any Participant-Indemnified Party arising out of any Participant-Indemnified Party’s own fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. b. The Distributor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Participant, its respective subsidiaries, Affiliated Persons, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each a “Distributor-Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred by such Distributor-Indemnified Party as a result of (i) any breach by the Distributor of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Distributor to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Distributor to comply with applicable Law; (iv) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, other than any statement made or omitted in reliance upon information provided to the Distributor, the Trust or any other person on behalf of the Trust or the Fund by a Distributor-Indemnified Party in writing and (v) actions of such Distributor-Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions reasonably believed by the Participant to be genuine and to have been given by the Distributor. The foregoing shall not apply to any Losses incurred by any Distributor-Indemnified Party arising out of any Distributor-Indemnified Party’s own fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Distributor, the Transfer Agent and the Fund will not indemnify the Participant for any violations of the U.S. federal or state securities laws (or other applicable Law) committed by the Participant through its failure to deliver a Prospectus in connection with the offer or sale of Shares and for any oral or written representation or warranty by Participant that is not contained in the Prospectus. d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Participant, Distributor, Trust or Transfer Agent shall be liable to each other for any Losses under this Agreement arising out of (i) mistakes or errors in data provided in connection with Orders, except for data provided by the other or (ii) mistakes or errors by or out of interruptions or delays of communications with a service provider to the Trust. e. Each of the Participant, Distributor and Transfer Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, or expressly incorporated herein by reference, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement. f. In the absence of fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard on its part, neither the Distributor nor the Transfer Agent, whether acting directly or through agents or attorneys, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted, or for any error of judgment made, in the performance of their duties hereunder. g. In no event shall any Party be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Neither the Transfer Agent nor the Distributor shall be required to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur or become exposed to financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder.
Limitations on Indemnification Obligations The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) are subject to the following provisions: (a) None of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) unless such Loss equals or exceeds $10,000 (and no such Loss less than $10,000 shall be applied against the Deductible). (b) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) until the total amount which the Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as applicable, in the aggregate (as limited by the other provisions hereof), but for this Section 7.4(b), exceeds $1,192,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the applicable Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein. (c) Except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $1,192,500 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price. (d) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(d), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter. (e) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, to the extent available and subject to applicable retention and other coverage limitations thereunder, for any Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) prior to seeking indemnification from Seller under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) to the extent that recovery is not available under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for any reason with respect to all or any portion of such Losses. The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to repay to Seller any amounts recovered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy to the extent such repayment would, after taking into account the deductible and other limitations under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, have the effect of reducing the amount of indemnifiable Losses actually recovered by Purchaser with respect to such claim below the amount of indemnified Losses to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to recover from Seller pursuant to this Article VII, but for this Section 7.4(e). Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against the Seller Group (other than with respect to Fraud). (f) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under Article VII even if a claim or claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. (g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss to the extent such Loss was included in or otherwise expressly taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price. (h) The rights to indemnification of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto (including by any of such party’s advisors or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of such advisors or representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. (i) For purposes of determining the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III or the Seller set forth in Article IV and in calculating the amount of any Losses attributable thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of the term “Material Contract” in any representation or warranty or (ii) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6(a). (j) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any breach of any representations and warranties regarding Losses for Taxes with respect to taxable periods, or portions thereof, that end on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses arise from or are attributable to a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.15(e), 3.15(k) or 3.15(l).
Indemnification Procedures If any third-‐party claim is commenced that is indemnified under Section 7.1 above, ICANN shall provide notice thereof to Registry Operator as promptly as practicable. Registry Operator shall be entitled, if it so elects, in a notice promptly delivered to ICANN, to immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably acceptable to ICANN to handle and defend the same, at Registry Operator’s sole cost and expense, provided that in all events ICANN will be entitled to control at its sole cost and expense the litigation of issues concerning the validity or interpretation of ICANN’s policies, Bylaws or conduct. ICANN shall cooperate, at Registry Operator’s cost and expense, in all reasonable respects with Registry Operator and its attorneys in the investigation, trial, and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom, and may, at its own cost and expense, participate, through its attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom. No settlement of a claim that involves a remedy affecting ICANN other than the payment of money in an amount that is fully indemnified by Registry Operator will be entered into without the consent of ICANN. If Registry Operator does not assume full control over the defense of a claim subject to such defense in accordance with this Section 7.2, ICANN will have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of Registry Operator and Registry Operator shall cooperate in such defense. [Note: This Section 7.2 is inapplicable to intergovernmental organizations or governmental entities.]
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Member i. The Member (including, for purposes of this Section, any estate, heir, personal representative, receiver, trustee, successor, assignee and/or transferee of the Member) shall not be liable, responsible or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or any other person for: (i) any act performed, or the omission to perform any act, within the scope of the power and authority conferred on the Member by this agreement and/or by the Statutes except by reason of acts or omissions found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment rendered and un-appealable or not timely appealed (“Judicially Determined”) to constitute fraud, gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct; (ii) the termination of the Company and this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof; (iii) the performance by the Member of, or the omission by the Member to perform, any act which the Member reasonably believed to be consistent with the advice of attorneys, accountants or other professional advisers to the Company with respect to matters relating to the Company, including actions or omissions determined to constitute violations of law but which were not undertaken in bad faith; or (iv) the conduct of any person selected or engaged by the Member. ii.
