confidentiality agreement with the Parties or their Representatives or otherwise prohibited from
transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

3. No Representations or Warranties. Each Party understands that neither the other


Party, nor their Representatives, make any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to

specific contact person(s), and conversations, telephone communications, correspondence, fax
transmissions, and computer transmissions shall only be made with the Parties and those persons
so designated and in a manner so as to protect the Evaluation Material from disclosure (even
within the existing employee and advisory groups of the Parties, other than the listed contact
persons). It is further agreed each Party and its Representatives shall not during their review of
the other Parties’ Evaluation Material contact any of the other Parties’ customers or receive a
customer list, unless coded for confidentiality, the identity of any customer, or specific financial
information about any single customer, unless coded for confidentiality, or copies of any specific
customer contracts.

Party, with the other Parties’ efforts to decline, resist or narrow such requests. If, despite
