Without limiting the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall in no event be liable in connection with its investment or reinvestment of any cash held by it hereunder in good faith, in accordance with the terms hereof, including without limitation any liability for any delays (not resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct) in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrowed Property, or any loss of interest incident to any such delays.
