A term of a trust relieving a trustee of liability for breach of trust is unenforceable to the extent that it:
(1) Relieves the trustee of liability for breach of trust committed in bad faith or with reckless indifference to the purposes of the trust or the interests of the beneficiaries; or
(2) Was inserted as the result of an abuse by the trustee of either a fiduciary or confidential relationship to the settlor.
