  1. General.  A manager shall discharge the duties of an office in good faith, in a manner the manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the LLC, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, the articles or operating agreement may define the standard of conduct of the managers in a manner to reflect the understanding of the parties; provided, that such definition is not manifestly unreasonable under the circumstances.
  2. Reliance Permitted.  In discharging such duties, a manager is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by:
    1. One (1) or more managers or employees of the LLC whom the member reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; or
    2. Legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the officer reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence.
  3. Where Reliance not Permitted.  A manager is not acting in good faith who has knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes reliance otherwise permitted by subsection (b) unwarranted.
  4. Limitation on Liability.  A manager is not liable for any action taken as a manager, or any failure to take any action, if the manager performed the duties of the office in compliance with this section.
  5. Effect of Delegation.  A person exercising the principal functions of an office or to whom some or all of the duties and powers of an office are delegated pursuant to § 48-241-110 is considered a manager for purposes of this section.
