 that no breach of our limited partnership agreement or a breach of any duty, including fiduciary duties, may be found for any matter that has been approved by a majority of the independent directors of the BPY General Partner. For conflicts of interest that are submitted to the independent directors, our limited partnership agreement does not impose any limitations on the discretion of the independent directors or the factors which they may consider in resolving any such conflicts. The independent directors of the BPY General Partner can, subject to acting in accordance with their own fiduciary duties in their capacity as a director of the BPY General Partner, therefore take into account the interests of Brookfield as our parent company, third parties and, where applicable, any Brookfield Accounts, when resolving conflicts of interest and may owe fiduciary duties to such third parties, or to such Brookfield Accounts. Additionally, any fiduciary duty that is imposed under any applicable law or agreement is modified, waived or limited to the extent required to permit the BPY General Partner to undertake any affirmative conduct or to make any decisions, so long as such action is reasonably believed to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of our partnership. U. S. federal and state securities laws may impose liability under certain circumstances on persons that fail to act in good faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the above-referenced provisions, nothing in our limited partnership agreement is intended to, or will, constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies that investors may have under such laws.

Our limited partnership agreement provides that our partnership does not have priority rights with respect to any investment opportunities sourced by the BPY General Partner and its affiliates. Our limited partnership agreement also allows affiliates of the BPY General Partner to engage in activities that may compete with us or our activities. Additionally, any failure by the BPY General Partner to consent to any merger, consolidation or combination will not result in a breach of our limited partnership agreement or any other provision of law. Our limited partnership agreement prohibits our limited partners from advancing claims that otherwise might raise issues as to compliance with fiduciary duties or applicable law.

These provisions are detrimental to our preferred unitholders because they significantly limit the scope of the fiduciary duty and permit conflicts of interest to be managed and resolved in a manner that may not be or is not in the best interests of our partnership or the best interests of our preferred unitholders. Such limitations reflect Brookfield’s management strategy with respect to BPY, pursuant to which Brookfield takes into account its
