Section II—Conditions
A. The responsible plan fiduciary,
taking into account all of the
information available at the time the

into, extended or renewed, reasonably
believed that the contract or

comply with its disclosure obligations;

the service provider failed to disclose
under its disclosure obligations, request

furnish the information;

necessary under the facts and
circumstances. Such fiduciary shall

disclosure obligations.
