4. The Receiving Party shall employ reasonable safeguards against the unauthorized
disclosure of confidential and proprietary information and agrees that it shall protect the
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the same manner and to the same
degree that it protects its own confidential and proprietary information (provided that
such measures are consistent with at least a reasonable degree of care). The Receiving
Party further agrees to advise all of its employees, agents or representatives (and where
proper, its assigns or successors-in-interest), having access to Confidential Information

Agreement by any person or entity to whom it communicates the Confidential

possible transaction, including the status thereof, without the prior written consent of the
other Parties. Further, the content and timing of any public announcement that is

Party liable for all consequential damages suffered by the aggrieved Party on account of

7. Any Confidential Information supplied to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing
Party prior to the execution of this Agreement shall be considered in the same manner
and be subject to the same treatment as the Confidential Information made available after
the execution of this Agreement.

8. The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure under this Agreement shall
remain in effect for the period of time specified in Paragraph 2. Upon expiration of the
period of confidentiality, or sooner upon request of the Disclosing Party, all Confidential
Information in the possession of the Receiving Party shall be returned to the Disclosing
Party or destroyed, at the option and instruction of the Disclosing Party, and the
Receiving Party shall certify such destruction in writing upon the request of the
Disclosing Party. In no case shall the Receiving Party retain photocopies or duplicates of
said Confidential Information without the knowledge or consent of the Disclosing Party.

the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and cannot be held
responsible for any errors or omissions it may contain.

10. It is understood that this Agreement is not to, and does not, obligate any Party to
enter into any further agreements or proceed with any possible relationship or other
transaction with the other Party as long as it does not contravene the provisions of this
Agreement. In the event that the other Party does contravene the provisions of this
Agreement and a further agreement is necessary, then such agreement shall only relate to
the contravention and its effect.

11. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring
rights by license or otherwise under any patent, patent applications, copyrights or
intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights with respect to any Confidential
Information disclosed to the Receiving Party.




12. The Disclosing Party may, at any time, request the Receiving Party to return any
material containing, pertaining to or relating to the Confidential Information and may, in
addition, request the Receiving Party to furnish a written statement to the effect that,
upon such return, the Receiving Party has not retained in its possession, or under its
control, either directly or indirectly, any such material. As an alternative to the return of
the material contemplated herein, the Receiving Party shall, at the instance of the
Disclosing Party, destroy such material and furnish the Disclosing Party with a written
statement to the effect that such material has been destroyed. The Receiving Party shall
comply with the foregoing request within seven (7) days of receipt of such a request.

13. The Parties agree and acknowledge that any breach of the obligations contained in
this Agreement will cause irreparable loss and would not be compensable by monetary
damages alone and, accordingly, the aggrieved Party shall, in addition to the other
remedies a party may have at law or in equity, be entitled to obtain a specific
performance or injunctive relief against the other party in respect of the threatened
breach of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach.

15. The parties warrant and represent that their business activities are regulated by
their own internal business rules or Corporate Governance policies which are compliant
with each of their applicable laws.

As a condition precedent to the execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to
exchange their relevant Corporate Governance policies for review to ensure that entering
into this Agreement will not conflict with, violate or contravene any of these policies.

To the extent applicable to the implementation of this Agreement, the parties will
comply with their respective internal business rules or Corporate Governance policies. In
this connection, the parties shall [a] advise or inform each other about any violation,
whether actual or potential, by any person of their respective and/or each others policies
in relation to this Agreement; [b] address or resolve such violation in accordance with
their own internal business rules or Corporate Governance policies; and, [c] inform the
other party of the action taken thereon. In the event that this Agreement is later found to
be violative of the internal business rules or Corporate Governance policies of either
party, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend and revise this Agreement to
make it compliant with the internal business rules or Corporate Governance policies
found to have been violated.

The parties finally agree that any dispute, breach or violation of this provision shall be
dealt with, remedied and/or resolved in accordance with the appropriate provisions of
this Agreement on dispute settlement.
16. All disputes, controversies and claims arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement shall be filed exclusively with the proper court of Makati City, Philippines, to
the exclusion of all other venues and shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Philippines without regard to its choice of law provisions.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first
set forth above.
