Professional Standards Recognizing and acknowledging that it is essential for the protection and enhancement of the name, reputation and business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the good will pertaining thereto, the Employee shall perform his duties under this Agreement professionally and in accordance with applicable law and the standards established by the Company from time to time; and the Employee shall not act, and shall refrain from acting, in any manner that could harm or tarnish the name, reputation, business or income of the Company and its subsidiaries or the good will pertaining thereto.
Standards of Conduct Whenever the Member is required or permitted to make a decision, take or approve an action, or omit to do any of the foregoing, then the Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors whatsoever. To the extent that the Member has, at law or in equity, duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) to the Company or other person bound by the terms of this Agreement, the Member acting in accordance with the Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or any such other person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties of the Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, replace such other duties to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.
Operating Standards The Operating Standards attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "B" are hereby made an integral part of this Agreement. Lessee, its employees, agents, guests, invitees, visitors and/or any other persons caused to be present in and around the Premises by the Lessee shall perform and abide by the rules and regulations and any amendments or additions to said rules and regulations as Lessor may make. In addition, Lessee, its employees and agents shall abide by all applicable governmental rules, regulations, statutes and ordinances relating in any way to the Premises or the Facility or Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises or the Facility; failing which Lessee shall be in default hereunder and shall pay any fines or penalties imposed for such violation(s) directly to the appropriate governmental authority or to Lessor, if Lessor has paid such amount on behalf of Lessee. Such remedy shall not be exclusive. It is hereby further explicitly agreed and understood that full compliance with the Operating Standards as set forth constitutes a material obligation of this Agreement, and that the failure to so comply shall constitute a violation of this Agreement entitling the Lessor to exercise any of its remedies pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
Customary Practices Settlement of transactions may be effected in accordance with trading and processing practices customary in the jurisdiction or market where the transaction occurs. The Fund acknowledges that this may, in certain circumstances, require the delivery of cash or Securities (or other property) without the concurrent receipt of Securities (or other property) or cash. In such circumstances, the Custodian shall have no responsibility for nonreceipt of payments (or late payment) or nondelivery of Securities or other property (or late delivery) by the counterparty.

Each Party will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and customs and obtain any required government approvals pertaining to use of the other Party's marks.
