10.4. Supplier may not make any press or other release or announcement relating to this Agreement or the

Worldwide to the form, content and manner of the announcement or release. Supplier must obtain
the prior written approval of Indicia Worldwide if it wishes to make any reference to the fact that it
provides the services to Indicia Worldwide or the Clients or to otherwise associate its name or
services with Indicia Worldwide or the Clients.
10.5. Supplier acknowledges that any breach of this clause 10 would injure Indicia Worldwide irreparably
and that money damages alone would not be sufficient remedy for such a breach. Accordingly,

performance and injunctive relief without proof of damage from any court in any jurisdiction in addition
to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
10.6. Indicia Worldwide may terminate this Agreement for material breach with immediate effect if Supplier
is in breach of its obligations as set out in this clause 10.
10.7. Each party agrees that it will at all times comply with all of its obligations, and all requirements

11. DAMAGES
11.1. In the event of delay in Supplier’s delivery of the goods or performance of the services or if Supplier
fails or refuses to provide the goods or services, Supplier shall pay liquidated damages to Indicia
Worldwide in the amount equivalent to one tenth of one percent (1/10th of 1%) of the cost of the

of the total contract price without prejudice to other courses of action and remedies available under
the law.

shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights or remedies
available to Indicia Worldwide in contract or in law, including the right to claim a breach or terminate
this Agreement or the Order. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages
likely to be incurred is inacapable or is difficult to precisely estimate insofar as delay may impact
Indicia Worldwide’s reputation or require Indicia Worldwide to provide non-monetary concessions to
the Client, (ii) the amounts calculated in accordance with the clause above bear a reasonable
relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred
in connection with any failure by Supplier to provide the goods or services in accordance with this
Agreement, and (iii) one of the reasons for Supplier and Indicia Worldwide reaching an agreement
as to such amounts is the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages.
This provision shall apply in the event of concurrent delay or delay caused by a third party.
11.3. Any liquidated damages due to Indicia Worldwide shall become due and payable on the first day of
the month following the date upon which Indicia Worldwide imposes them. Indicia Worldwide may
exercise its right of set-off and deduct the amount of any outstanding damages or penalties against
amounts due and owing to Supplier. If the sum due and owing to Supplier for performance under this
Agreement in any month is less than the amount of liquidated damages payable to Indicia Worldwide,
Supplier shall pay the difference upon demand by Indicia Worldwide.

the subject of indemnities and obligations under the Agreement including public liability insurance (or an
appropriate equivalent insurance in any relevant jurisdiction), all worker’s compensation or employers
liability insurance (or an appropriate equivalent insurance in any applicable jurisdiction), and any other
suitable insurance required by law. It is Supplier's responsibility to guarantee that the insurance coverage
is necessary and advisable for Supplier's protection or to fulfil its obligation under this Agreement. The
insurance policies shall be maintained by Supplier, as applicable, at Supplier's own expense. Supplier will
furnish Indicia Worldwide with a copy of any policy or policies of insurance or certificates thereof, within
three (3) days of Indicia Worldwide’s request for same. Failure of Supplier to comply with the provisions of
this clause may result in termination of the Agreement.

performance due to a Force Majeure event that is beyond the reasonable control of the party unable
to perform.
13.2. If a Force Majeure event occurs, the party delayed or unable to perform shall give immediate notice
to the other party, and the other party may terminate the affected Order if the Force Majeure event
remains in effect more than five calendar days. The affected party must take all reasonable steps to
ensure that it continues to perform its obligations under this Agreement during a Force Majeure Event
and, in any event, takes such steps as are specified in the Business Continuity Plan. A “Force
Majeure” event means acts of God, war, riots, terrorism, civil insurrections, or abnormal forces of
nature, acts of government and industrial action of any kind (not involving the employees of the
affected party).
14. BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
14.1. Supplier shall maintain a comprehensive business continuity plan that is commercially reasonable
and comply with applicable law, rules and regulations, and includes processes to
recover the production process in the event of a natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, or any other
event that disrupts the ability of Supplier to meet its delivery commitments to Indicia Worldwide or to
provide the goods or services in accordance with this Agreement. Supplier will provide a copy of such
plan to Indicia Worldwide upon request. Supplier will test the adequacy of its business continuity plan
at least annually. In the event of business disruption that materially impact Supplier’s provision of
service under this Agreement, Supplier will promptly notify Indicia Worldwide of the disruption and
the steps being taken in response.
14.2. Without limiting Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement, in the event of any circumstance which
makes the performance of the services in the manner specified or contemplated by this Agreement
or any Order objectively impossible, Supplier will immediately notify Indicia Worldwide of such event.
15. AUDIT
15.1. Supplier will maintain on-site all documentation establishing its and its permitted subcontractors’
compliance with this Agreement. Supplier agrees to permit Indicia Worldwide and its designated
agents to audit Supplier's compliance with this Agreement and any Order, including (to the maximum
extent permissible by law and as reasonably necessary to assess Supplier's compliance with the
Agreement) on-site inspection of manufacturing facilities with one (1) week notice to Supplier, reviews
of books and records, and private interviews with employees. The audit will be conducted during
normal business hours, and requests will be limited to information relating to the services or this
Agreement and must be treated as Proprietary Information.
15.2. Indicia Worldwide will bear the cost of the initial audit unless the audit reveals that Supplier or the
services do not comply with this Agreement, in which case Supplier will be liable to pay or reimburse
KONICA MINOLTA MARKETING SERVICES (PHILIPPINES), INC. Services Agreement_January 2024
DocuSign Envelope ID: 72DBAAB4-BCCD-458C-9B61-1A2A9CE07242
Indicia Worldwide for all reasonable costs and expenses relating to such audit and/or any subsequent

this Agreement shall be kept available at Supplier’s expense at Supplier's office or place of business
for and during the period of this Agreement and thereafter for at least seven (7) years or as per the
Bureau Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue Regulation No. 17- 2013 re: the Guidelines of Preservation
of Accounts and other accounting records. The term ‘other accounting records’ includes the
corresponding invoices, receipts, vouchers and returns, and other source documents supporting the
entries in the books of accounts. It should also be preserved for a period of ten (10) years counted
from the date of last entry in the books to which they relate. The term ‘last entry’ refers to a particular
business transaction or an item thereof that is entered or posted last or latest in the books of accounts
when the same was closed. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the taxpayer has any pending protest
or claim for tax credit/refund of taxes, and the books and records concerned are material to the case,
the taxpayer is required to preserve his/its books of accounts and other accounting records until the
case is finally resolved. Unless a longer period of retention is required under the NIRC or other
relevant laws, the independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who audited the records and
certified the financial statements of the taxpayer, equally as the taxpayer, has the responsibility to
maintain and preserve copies of the audited and certified financial statements for a period of ten (10)
years from the due date of filing the annual income tax return or the actual date of filing thereof,
whichever comes later.”
