(b) It is the policy of this act to give the maximum effect to the principle of freedom of contract and to the enforceability of operating agreements.
(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a member or manager or other person has duties, including fiduciary duties, to a limited liability company or to another member or manager or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by an operating agreement, the member's or manager's or other person's duties may be expanded or restricted or eliminated by provisions in the operating agreement, except that the operating agreement may not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(d) Unless otherwise provided in an operating agreement, a member or manager or other person shall not be liable to a limited liability company or to another member or manager or to another person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by an operating agreement for breach of fiduciary duty for the member's or manager's or other person's good faith reliance on the provisions of the operating agreement.
(e) An operating agreement may provide for the limitation or elimination of any and all liabilities for breach of contract and breach of duties, including fiduciary duties, of a member, manager or other person to a limited liability company or to another member or manager or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by an operating agreement, except that an operating agreement may not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
