A fiduciary, if he exercises the same care and prudence as he would in the case of an authorized investment, may retain without liability for resulting loss:
(1) any asset received in kind, even though it is not an authorized investment;
(2) any asset purchased in reliance upon a construction, by the court, of the instrument or a provision contained therein even though the court in a subsequent proceeding adopts a contrary construction thereof; and
(3) shares of stock or other securities (and securities received as distributions in respect thereof) of a holding company subject to the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, received upon conversion of, or in exchange for, shares of stock or other securities of a bank or a holding company subject to the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, which the fiduciary was directed or authorized to retain, in the instrument establishing the trust or otherwise.
