(1) A general partner shall not be found to have violated the duties of a general partner under division (A) of this section, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that the general partner has not acted in good faith, in a manner the general partner reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the limited partnership, or with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances, in any action brought against the general partner, including actions involving or affecting the general partner's service in any other position or relationship with the limited partnership.
