behalf of a respective class or by the class officers. BH, BHMC-LR and BHCLR do not assume or accept
any legal or any financial responsibility for enrolled or graduated classes’ business matters.

event that matters of business emerge. Financial obligations and legal aspects incurred by a respective
class shall be conducted only by the class and the elected officers serving at the time the class graduated.
