Standard of Conduct To the extent that the provisions of Section 9(a) are inapplicable to a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Losses relating to such Claim and any determination that Expense Advances must be repaid to the Company (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows:
Standard of Care In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
Standard of Services All services to be rendered by SCM hereunder shall be performed in a professional, competent and timely manner subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on behalf of the Funds. The details of the operating standards and procedures to be followed by SCM in the performance of the services described above shall be determined from time to time by agreement between SCM and the Corporation.
Servicer’s Standard of Care In performing Serviced Duties hereunder with respect to any Serviced Appointment, the Purchasers shall comply with the terms of the applicable Serviced Corporate Trust Contracts, including the standard of care set forth therein (including the standard that applies in the case of an event of default), and shall perform the Serviced Duties in accordance with the terms of the applicable Serviced Corporate Trust Contracts and this Agreement and in compliance with applicable Law, including, as applicable, Item 1122 of Regulation AB and 12 C.F.R. Part 9, as though the Purchasers were directly responsible for the Serviced Duties under the applicable Serviced Corporate Trust Contracts. Each of the Purchasers covenants and agrees that it shall perform the Serviced Duties in a manner consistent with (and with a standard of care no less than) the Purchasers’ practices in servicing its own corporate trust business (including the Business acquired by the Purchasers), and, with respect to each Serviced Appointment, in accordance with the applicable Serviced Corporate Trust Contract.
Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof The parties intend and agree that, to the extent permitted by law, in connection with any Determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder by any person, including a court:
Disclaimer; Standard of Care The Service Provider makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Services. In no event will the Service Provider or its Related Parties be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Service Provider as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Manager’s Standard of Care Manager shall perform its duties under this Agreement in a manner consistent with professional property management services. In no event shall the scope or quality of services provided by Manager for the Property hereunder be less than those generally performed by professional property managers of similar properties in the market area where the Property is located. Manager shall make available to Owner the full benefit of the judgment, experience, and advice of the members and employees of Manager’s organization with respect to the policies to be pursued by Owner in operating the Property, and will perform the services set forth herein and such other services as may be requested by Owner in managing, operating, maintaining and servicing the Property.
Liability; Standard of Care Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Subadviser, nor any of its directors, officers or employees, shall be liable to Manager or the Trust for any loss resulting from Subadviser’s acts or omissions as Subadviser to the Fund, except to the extent any such losses result from bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard or gross negligence on the part of the Subadviser or any of its directors, officers or employees in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement.
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”).
General Standard of Care The Custodian shall exercise reasonable care and diligence in carrying out all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and shall be liable to the Fund for all loss, damage and expense suffered or incurred by the Fund resulting from the failure of the Custodian to exercise such reasonable care and diligence.
