	loss of profit arising out of or in connection with detention of or	334
	delay to the Vessel) and howsoever arising in the course of	335
	performance of the Management Services UNLESS same is	336
	proved to have resulted solely from the negligence, gross	337
	negligence or wilful default of the Managers or their employees,	338
	or agents or sub-contractors employed by them in connection	339
	with the Vessel, in which case (save where loss, damage, delay	340
	or expense has resulted from the Managers’ personal act or	341
	omission committed with the intent to cause same or recklessly	342
	and with knowledge that such loss, damage, delay or expense	343
	would probably result) the Managers’ liability for each incident	344
	or series of incidents giving rise to a claim or claims shall never	345
	exceed a total of ten times the annual management fee payable	346
	hereunder.	347
	(ii) Notwithstanding anything that may appear to the contrary in	348
	this Agreement, the Managers shall not be liable for any of the	349
	actions of the Crew, even if such actions are negligent, grossly	350
	negligent or wilful, except only to the extent that they are shown	351
	to have resulted from a failure by the Managers to discharge	352
