confidential information of the Disclosing Party and/or of its
1

Receiving Party. The Receiving Party will:
(a) limit disclosure of any Confidential Information to its co-receiving parties who have
a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the current or
contemplated transaction/relationship between the parties to which this Agreement

(b) advise its co-receiving parties of the proprietary nature of the Confidential
Information and the obligations set forth in this Agreement and require such co-

the Disclosing Party’s consent or as otherwise provided for herein.

Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of their respective

The Receiving Party agrees to use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the
current or contemplated business relationship between the parties and not for any purpose
other than as authorized by this Agreement. No other right or license, whether expressed or

2
implied, in the Confidential Information is granted to the Receiving Party hereunder. Title to
the Confidential Information will remain solely in the Disclosing Party. All use of
Confidential Information by the Receiving Party shall be for the benefit of the Disclosing
Party and any modifications and improvements thereof by the Receiving Party shall be the
sole property of the Disclosing Party.

despite termination of the principal contract covered by this agreement.

5. Remedies

preventing the dissemination of any Confidential Information in violation of the terms hereof.
Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies available hereunder whether
at law or in equity including damages. Disclosing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs
and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in obtaining any such relief. Further,
in the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

6. Return of Confidential Information

The Receiving Party shall immediately return to the other all tangible material embodying
the Confidential Information provided hereunder and all notes, summaries, memoranda,
drawings, manuals, records, excerpts or derivative information deriving there from and all
other documents or materials (“Notes” and all copies of any of the foregoing including
“copies” that have been converted to computerized media in the form of image, data or word
processing files either manually or by image capture) based on or including any Confidential
Information in whatever form of storage or retrieval, upon the:
(a) completion or termination of the dealings between the parties contemplated
hereunder;

(b) the termination of this Agreement; or

(c) at such time as the Disclosing Party may so request; provided however that the
Receiving Party may retain such documents as is necessary to enable it to comply
with its document retention policies. Alternatively, the Receiving Party, with the
written consent of the Disclosing Party may (or in case of Notes, at the Receiving
Party’s option) immediately destroy any of the foregoing embodying Confidential
Information (or the reasonably non recoverable data erasure of computerized
data) and, upon request, certify in writing such destruction by an authorized
officer of the Receiving Party supervising the destruction.

7. Safekeeping of Confidential Information

The Receiving Party shall use the same care to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of the
confidential information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event
less than reasonable care. It is agreed that:

3
 (a) All confidential information shall be retained by the Receiving Party in a secure
place with access limited only to the Receiving Party’s employees or agents who
need to know such information for purposes of this Agreement, and

(b) Confidential Information will be disclosed only to each party’s respective

employees who are involved in the Potential Transaction and to third party
consultants or advisers who have been engaged for the purpose of discussing the
Potential Transaction, which the Disclosing Party has prior notice of such
engagement, provided that in the event of such disclosure to any third person or
entity not employees or retained by the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party shall
nonetheless remain liable for any unauthorized disclosure by such person or
entity.

It is further agreed that the Receiving Party shall ensure that all of the employees and
consultants (including employees and consultants of its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates)
having access to Confidential Information adhere to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement as if they were parties hereto.

8. Notice of Breach
Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any
unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by Receiving Party or its
Representatives, or any other breach of this Agreement by Receiving Party or its
Representatives, and will cooperate with efforts by the Disclosing Party to help the Disclosing
Party regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use.

9. No Publicity
Neither Party hereto shall in anyway or in any form disclose, publicize, or advertise in any
manner the discussions that gave rise to this Agreement nor the discussions or negotiations
covered by this agreement without prior written consent of the other Party.

10. No Binding Agreement for Transaction

The parties acknowledge that neither shall bear any legal responsibility regarding a
Transaction as a result of this Agreement, except for the specific matters explicitly stated
herein. Furthermore, the parties recognize and agree that each retains the right, at their sole
discretion, to decline any and all proposals and to cease discussions and negotiations
concerning a Transaction at any time. This Agreement does not establish a joint venture or
partnership between the parties. Should a Transaction proceed, the non-disclosure clauses in
any relevant transaction documents executed between the parties (or their respective
affiliates) for the Transaction will take precedence over this Agreement. If such provisions
are not included in the aforementioned transaction documents, this Agreement shall prevail.
NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE BY EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
WHATSOEVER.
The parties acknowledge that although they shall each endeavor to include in the Confidential
Information all information that they each believe relevant for the purpose of the evaluation
of a Transaction, the parties understand that no representation or warranty as to the accuracy
or completeness of the Confidential Information is being made by either party as the
Disclosing Party. Further, neither party is under any obligation under this Agreement to
disclose any Confidential Information it chooses not to disclose. Neither Party hereto shall
have any liability to the other party or to other party’s Representatives resulting from any use

4
of the Confidential Information except with respect to disclosure of such Confidential
Information in violation of this Agreement and the Data Privacy Act.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions

(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes
any and all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether oral or
written, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can
only be modified by a written amendment signed by the party against whom enforcement of
such modification is sought.

(b) Any failure by either party to enforce the other party’s strict performance of any provision
of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of its right to subsequently enforce such
provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

(c) Although the restriction contained in this Agreement are considered by the parties to be
reasonable for the purpose of protecting the Confidential Information, if any such restriction
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be
modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of its nature and scope as will render
enforceable. If it cannot be so modified, rewritten or interpreted to be enforceable in any
respect, it will not be given effect, and the remainder of the Agreement will be enforced as if
such provision was not included.

(d) This Agreement is personal in nature, and neither party may directly or indirectly assign
or transfer it by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other
party. All obligations contained in this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the
parties to this Agreement and their respective successors, assigns and designees.

12. Notices
Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given by this Agreement or given
in connection with it, shall be in writing and shall be given to the appropriate party by
personal delivery or by registered mail, postage prepaid, or recognized reputable private
courier, in each case, to the address of the other party first indicated above (or such other
address as may be furnished by a party in accordance with this paragraph).
All such notices or communications shall be deemed to have been given and received as
follows:
(a) In case of personal delivery and recognized reputable private courier, on the date
of receipt by Receiving Party of such delivery.
(b) In case of registered mail, on the day of mailing.

13. Venue

exclusively filed with the proper court of Davao City only.
