  3. Antitrust Guidelines Information exchange is necessary for the formation and operation of any joint venture. Exchange of confidential, competitively sensitive information among competitors, however, is particularly sensitive under the antitrust laws because such information exchange can facilitate price collusion or other anti-competitive coordinated conduct. • Exchange of confidential, competitively sensitive information should take place only when necessary to effectuate the formation of the Venture. Exchange the least sensitive information whenever possible. If competitively sensitive information must be exchanged, it should first be reviewed by antitrust counsel (either corporate or antitrust counsel). • “Confidential information” means all non-public information, the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to a party’s interests, and includes without limitation research, technical, manufacturing, cost, pricing, marketing, financial, personnel and other business information and plans, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form. • “Competitively sensitive information” means all confidential information that, if known by a party’s competitor would enhance the competitor’s ability to predict the party’s future price and output strategies, including the Party’s likely responses to price and output initiatives of the competitor. • Absent prior legal clearance and legal guidance, there should be no discussion or exchange of information among committee or team members regarding the following subjects concerning their respective Companies: • prices, price changes, price quotations, bids, or pricing policies; • any element of price, including freight, credit, warranties, and other terms and conditions of sale; • output, capacity, down time, inventory levels or costs (including production, inventory, distribution, or wage, salary or benefits cost); • the customers to whom a Company sells, or the territories in which a Company sells; • the amount that a Company pays for goods or services; future plans concerning the production, distribution, or marketing of particular products; discussion about the Venture’s future plans is acceptable. • Absent prior legal clearance and legal guidance, there should be no solicitation, acceptance, or exchange of documents or information relating to the subjects listed above. • An accurate record of each committee or team meeting should be prepared. 3
