The DEVELOPER further represents that its development policy is to sell lots in the Park only
to responsible persons and entities who are ready, able and willing to construct high-quality,
international standard industrial buildings within the property of the DEVELOPER according to
the general pattern as prescribed herein.
To attain its objective, the DEVELOPER has prescribed, as agreed upon with the owner, the
succeeding restrictions, reservations, and limitations which shall form an essential part of the
consideration of sale of a lot(s) in the Park and shall be annotated on the Certificate of Title as
voluntary liens and encumbrances on the property. These restrictions are not meant to be
prohibitive in nature and spirit, nor to inhibit discretion and freedom of movement of the owner,
but in the general sense, to regulate development to ensure protection and uplift the collective
interest of the entire membership of lot owners and occupants and preserve the overall
conditions within the Park.
The general purpose, in summary, for the controlled development is aimed at promoting the
general welfare of the lot owners and occupants, provide character to the general area,
efficiency in internal operations of the Park, and the long-term protection of values and its
environment and surrounding.
1. There shall be two (2) operative and separate documents which shall form essential
and integral parts of the Deed of Sale between the owner and the DEVELOPER, and
shall serve as reference and/or basis in determining relationship and roles of all
participating and concerned parties and the corresponding specifications and
guidelines for lot development in the Park, namely:

1. The lot owner, his successor-in-interest or the lot occupant represented herein as the
LOCATOR, is referred to be and is automatically a member of the CIPA and must
abide by the rules and regulations laid down by the CIPA in the following areas of
concern, namely, security, maintenance of roads and open spaces, operation of the
common utilities, beautification, and other matters affecting the general welfare of the
Park.
2. The CIPA will also provide for and collect assessments which will constitute a lien on
the lot, secondary or junior only to liens of the Government for taxes and to voluntary
mortgages for sufficient consideration entered into by the LOCATOR in good faith.
Schools, training institutions, churches, other religious institutions, and buildings for
public use are exempted from payment of such assessments.
3. CIPA will administer a trust fund consisting of amounts collected in the form of annual
association dues and other charges as may be duly prescribed and approved by CIPA
from the LOCATORS within the Park. This fund will be used to finance improvements
of facilities and utilities, as may be prioritized and decided upon by CIPA and the
DEVELOPER, but not limited to security, maintenance, and other common areas of
concern.

coordinate with the following parties in ensuring the proper compliance with the intents
of the Deed Restrictions (DR) and Construction Rules and Regulations (CRR) :

of construction, the LOCATOR shall submit detailed site improvement plans
(i.e., including, but not limited to, service roads, grading, drainage systems, and
