Non-Liability of Trustees and Shareholders Any obligation of Trust hereunder shall be binding only upon the assets of Trust (or the applicable Fund thereof) and shall not be binding upon any Trustee, officer, employee, agent or Shareholder of Trust. Neither the authorization of any action by the Trustees or Shareholders of Trust nor the execution of this Agreement on behalf of Trust shall impose any liability upon any Trustee or any Shareholder.
Limitation of Liability of Trustees and Shareholders The Adviser acknowledges the following limitation of liability:
Liability of Trustee (a) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments that are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Administrative Agent of any material lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable provisions of this Trust Agreement.
(b) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith, its own reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Depositor, the Calculation Agent or any Holder relating to the time, place or method of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Trust Agreement.
(c) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against any related risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust.
(e) In the event that the Transfer Agent and Registrar (if not also the Trustee) fails to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated, as soon as possible upon knowledge of a Trust Officer of such failure and receipt of appropriate records, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner required hereunder.

Limitation on Liability of the Depositor the Seller, the Master Servicer and Others. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account.
NON-LIABILITY OF MANAGER In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Manager, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Manager shall not be subject to any liability to the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement.
